GoodMeasure Integrator
Installation Guide for EDMI MK7A Meters
•Before installation, check that you have a portable computer that you
can use while on site to login to www.GoodMeasure.net during the
installation
•The Integrator must be installed by authorised persons in accordance with
safe working practices.
•The Integrator is designed to be installed under the terminal cover of an EDMI
MK7A Smart Meter. These instructions assume that the meter has been

Step 2: Mount and connect the Integrator hardware
1. Remove the meter terminal cover, the internal
modem cover and unplug the RJ45 modem cable
connection.
2. Fit the short RJ45-RJ45 interconnect cable provided
to the meter.
3. Fit the Integrator into the slot above the modem and
plug the interconnect cable into the top Integrator
connector.
4. Plug the modem cable into the right hand end of the
Integrator.
5. If external MODBUS compatible energy meters or
sensors are to be connected, use the supplied orange
and white interface cable. Ensure that polarity is
correct: orange to the A (or +) terminal, and white to
the B (or -) terminal. Then connect to other MODBUS
devices using ‘daisy chain’ interconnections.
1. Remove modem cover and unplug
RJ45
2. Fit short RJ45-RJ45 link cable
3. Insert Integrator into terminal cover slot
and plug in the interconnect cable.
4. Connect the modem to the Integrator.
Modem cable connection tip: grip the RJ45 end of the cable in right hand and pull gently into
a horizontal position. Twist the cable one full turn anticlockwise then rotate plug inwards to insert
into the Integrator socket as shown in image 4 above. This twist helps prevent the terminal cover
snagging on the cable during reassembly.

Step 3: Setup WiFi access to the GoodMeasure service
1. Activate the hotspot device you set up in step 1.
2. Switch on the meter (if not already on) and ensure
that the Power LED on the integrator comes on and
is steady RED. If not, check the RJ45
interconnections are secure.
The Status LED should then follow this sequence:
Flash RED when no connection
available…
Flash RED/AMBER when connecting…
Flash GREEN for a few seconds when
successfully connected…
Stay off once connected and operating
3. The GoodMeasure administrator must now login to GoodMeasure to configure the
Integrator settings and to connect to a permanently available local WiFi SSID.
Step 4: Login to GoodMeasure
The installation is not complete until the following steps are performed.
1. Go to www.goodmeasure.net using a tablet or laptop.
2. Log in using the link in the top right of the screen.
You will need a Google or Microsoft account that has been authorised on your
organisation’s GoodMeasure account to perform these steps.

Step 5: Creating or selecting a Site in GoodMeasure
When a new Integrator is installed, it must be added to a Site to enable data collection from
devices connected to it. Follow the steps below to select the site or add a new site.

Step 6: Integrator configuration
This step requires an Integrator to be powered on and able to communicate with the Internet
through a local tethering point such as a smart phone hotspot that has the GoodMeasure
default SSID and Password already setup. For details of these settings see Step 1 and check
the status lights as per Step 3.
1. Select or create the appropriate site as described in the previous section.
2. Click the Install tab.

Step 11: Not working? –Troubleshooting
If Status LED doesn’t follow the proper sequence (Step 3) or “Gateway unavailable”
•If permanent WiFi isn’t yet setup, verify that the hotspot device is working
oCheck hotspot device has mobile data enabled and there is a positive data balance
oCheck SSID and Password settings of hotspot device are correct (see Step 1)
oCheck Integrator and hotspot device are not too close or too far from each other
(greater than 1m and less than 10m)
•Verify the permanent local WiFi access point
oCheck that other devices, such as a cell phone, are able to connect to the Internet
through the local WiFi access point
oCheck that the local WiFi SSID and Password settings have been correctly entered
into the Integrator as per Step 7.
oCheck that the WiFi signal level is in the range of -30 to -80dB (use the ‘Network’
tab in GoodMeasure from Step 7 to view signal strength)
•Verify building WiFi settings
oCheck with the site owner that no restrictions or limitations have been applied to the
site’s WiFi access
If GoodMeasure is unable to read data from the EDMI meter…
•Check Step 8 that the device has correct meter details:
Port=port2, Baud rate=9600, framing=8n1, User ID and password correct,
Serial=meter serial number.
If GoodMeasure is unable to read attached MODBUS RS485 devices…
•Check that the interface cable is inserted into Integrator RJ12 socket
•Check device connections use the correct polarity e.g. that the orange and white/red
and green Modbus cable supplied is installed the right way around at the meter.
•Check that:
oThe correct device address is selected in Step 8 (starting with the default ‘1’ then
changed to another address)
oThere are no other devices with the same address
oSettings are compatible between the Integrator and devices including: baud rates,
framing, and addresses End
