1 Introduction
Thischaptergives anoverviewofthe HomePlugtechnologyandbriefly intro-
duces the adapter. Practical examples are listed at the end of the chapter.
1.1 What does HomePlug stand for?
HomePlug(“InhousePowerline”)isanintelligent,securetechnologythat lets
you set up a home network easily, quickly and economically via your electri-
cal wiring, without the need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling.
The available performance and effort required for the installation also com-
pares favourably to traditional methods—HomePlug technology now attains
speeds you would expect from other LAN technologies.
1.2 AV200pro
The AV200pro combines the power industry and telecommunications and
brings you one step closer to transparent cost statements for yourconsump-
tion data. The energy data is transmitted from the intelligent power meter to
yourcomputerviathehousehold electrical wiring.Withatransmissionspeed

of up to 200 Mbps, the AV200pro is also ideally suited for high-speed Inter-
net.
1.2.1 Functions
• Direct installation in the control cabinet or power distribution box
• Optional: three-phase network connection for optimal network coverage
• Integrated Quality-of-Service functions (QoS) for automatic data prioritisa-
tion
• Quality indicator LED for determining broadband status
• Ethernet port with Auto MDI/X
• Data transmission with a range up to 300 metres in the power grid
• Powerful128-bit AESsecurityfor securing datatransmission againstunau-
thorised access

1.2.2 Ports
Line connections (Fig. 1)
This is where you connect the conductors to the corresponding line connec-
tions.
NOTE:
Single-phase connection: Neutral conductors and external conductors are
connected to terminals N and L1.
Three-phase connection: Neutral conductors and external conductors are
connected to terminals N and L1. The connection of external conductors L2
and L3 is optional and intended for optimising the signal transmission. The
device is supplied with power via terminals N and L1.
The permitted conductor cross-section for connection to the terminals is
0.18 mm² to 6 mm².
Ethernet connection (Fig. 1)
This is where you connect the AV200pro via an Ethernet cable to the intelli-
gent power meter (MUC) or another Ethernet device (e.g. Internet access
device).
1.2.3 Control lamps
Power (Fig.1)
• Illuminates green when the AV200pro is ready to operate; flashes green
when the AV200pro is in standby mode.
HomePlug (Fig. 1)
• Illuminates green if the bandwidth is optimal, i.e. the network connectionis
suitable e.g. for HD video streaming; flashes when data is being transmit-
ted.
• Illuminates orange if the bandwidth is good, i.e. the network connection is
suitable e.g. for SD video streaming; flashes when data is being transmit-
ted.
• Illuminates red if the bandwidth is adequate, i.e. the network connection is
still suitable for transmission of energy data or Internet access; flashes
when data is being transmitted.

Installationmaybe performedby aqualified electricianonly (inacc.withGer-
man Low Voltage Connection Ordinance (NAV)*, Part 2, §13).
Components powered by the mains supply have to be secured
with a circuit breaker.
• The device is intended for installation on the top-hat rail in the installation
area of overvoltage category 3 or lower.
• Never open the device. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the
device.
• Use the device in a dry location only.
• Do not insert any objects into the openings of the device.
• Slots and openings on the case serve as ventilation. Never block or cover
them.
• Do not keep the device in direct sunlight.
• Never set up the device near a heater or radiator.
• Thedevice should belocatedonlywhere sufficient ventilation can be ensu-
red.
• Neveruse the devicewitha powersupply that does not meet the specifica-
tions provided on the rating plate.
• In the event of damage, contact customer service. This applies, for
example, if

device. wenn das Gerät Regen oder Wasser ausgesetzt war.
•the device has been exposed to rain or water.
•the device does not work, even though the operating instructions have
been followed properly.
•the device’s case is damaged.
2.2 Electrical installation
Install the AV200pro properly on the top-hat rail.
Take into account the verticalinstallation alignment of the device, so that the
mains power supply comes from above
Now connect the conductors according to the line connections.
When connecting to the sockets, make sure the conductor cross-section is
0.18 mm² to 6 mm².
•Single-phase connection: Neutral conductors and external conductors
are connected to terminals N and L1 (see Fig. 4).
•Three-phase connection: Neutral conductors and external conductors
are connected to terminals N and L1. The connection of external con-
ductors L2 and L3 is optional and intended for optimising the signal
transmission. The device is supplied with power via terminals N and L1
(see Fig. 5).
