• At the time of connection or reset, the meters must be disconnected from the control device to avoid errors and false alarms.
• The WiFi network frequency must be 2.4 GHz, the network name and password must contain only numbers and Latin letters (the maximum length of the network name and password is 32 characters). If there are repeaters, amplifiers or several distributing devices in the room in the signal reception area, it is recommended to make the names of the networks different from each other and connect the device to the nearest access point.

To connect the device, follow the steps below:
1. Run the SST Cloud App and log in (register if you haven't already).
2. Select or create a house (home-ownership) to which you want to add a new device.
3. Click on the "Add Device" button in the main screen of the selected home-ownership.
4. Select the type of device you want to add/Select connection type, enter nessesary data for connection and wait for scanning.
5. Activate the AP (Access Point) mode on the device.
6. Do not click on the "Next" button.
7. After the device is switched to AP mode:

• connect to a WiFi network with the MAC address of the device (example of a WiFi name "60:C5:A8:61:01:28")/in upgraded app Android will automatically ask for connection to nessesary network
• the password for all devices is standard: 1234567890
• press on the "Next" button in the App
• the connection to the device will be established and the installation screen will open
• If the desired WiFi network has not yet been added to your home-ownership, click on the "Change settings" button and enter the name and password of the required network in the fields that appear.

8. Select the device name from the proposed ones or enter your own and select the WiFi network to which you want to connect the device.
9. Then click on the "Create" button and wait for the hardware configuration.

• After completing the setup, you will be taken to the main screen of the home-ownership, where the device you connected will be added to the "Water" tab, and the connection with the device will be established within a few minutes.
• Sometimes after adding the device, its settings and controls may be unavailable for several minutes. During this time, the firmware is updated, you need to wait for a while.
• You cannot add the same device to your home twice. You cannot add a device that has already been connected to another account.

• When turned ON (or reset with a reboot), the control module forms a WiFi network itself, or automatically connects to an already known home WiFi network (the parameters are set in the App).
• By default, the control module starts in the AP mode.
• It is recommended to connect metering devices after the control device is fully configured.

1. To switch between modes, close the valves by pressing the "Close" button, if the valves were open. Wait until the valves are completely closed.
2. Enter connection mode by pressing and holding the "Close" button for 4 seconds.
3. If necessary, change the WiFi connection mode by pressing and holding the "Open" button for 4 seconds.
4. After that, the module will signal which connection mode has been set and will switch to normal operation.

• Currently, only AP mode is used for the WiFi connection.
• Indication of the AP mode activation - "running" LED lights in the order of 4,3,2,1 and so on

- this indication means that the device is in the Access Point mode and is ready for connection and configuration

- the device is operating normally, however, it is highly discouraged to turn OFF the power and disconnect the Internet connection

- the device is searching for a WiFi network and trying to connect to it

The enabled location feature is only needed to connect devices to the SST Cloud. Connecting devices without this permission is not possible (may cause errors) due to a number of technical limitations of the smartphone OS.
After connection and initial configuration, the permission to use geolocation can be revoked.

• At the time of connection or reset, the meters must be disconnected from the control device

1. Close the valves by pressing the "Close" button if the valves were open. Wait until the valves are completely closed.
2. Press and hold the "Close" button for 5 seconds, wait for the simultaneous constant indication of the lines 1, 2, 3 and 4.
3. Press and hold the "Close" button for 5 seconds, wait for the long beep.
4. After performing the above manipulations, the device will reset and reboot.

• After resetting and rebooting, the Wi-Fi connection as well as sensors and wireless modules connection must be done again, according to the instructions.
• Before setting up and reconnecting, you must delete the control device from your SST account in the App or on the site.

If for some reason the module does not reset or does not respond to pressing the buttons, then it is necessary:
1. To turn OFF the module power using the slide switch on the case
2. Remove the batteries, completely de-energize the module (pull out the power plug from the socket / turn OFF the circuit breaker on the distribution panel) for 5-10 minutes.
3. To apply power to the module (insert the power plug into the socket / turn ON the circuit breaker on the distribution panel). You do not need to install batteries now.
4. To switch ON the module with the slider on the case and immediately proceed with the reset procedure (press and hold the "Close" button and further... see up)

• In some cases, the module may not beep when the button is pressed and not turn ON the LED indication (in this case, you can simply hold the button for 5-6 seconds without waiting for a response), however, after performing the reset procedure, the operating mode is fully restored.

• The maximum total current of all devices connected directly to the control module should not exceed 5А.
• The valves are connected to the Valve 1 and Valve 2 connectors, and the sensors to the Line 1, Line 2, etc. connectors. When connecting more devices to one connector (for example, two or three valves must be connected to the Valve 1 connector) the purpose (and, as a rule, the color) of the wires coming to one terminal must be the same, the connection must be parallel. For example, two "Neptun PROFI 12V 3/4" valves are connected to the Valve 1 connector: the red "open" wire from each valve is connected to one "open" terminal of the Valve 1 connector.
• 6 valves can be connected directly to the control module, subject to the availability of an additional power source, which is connected the corresponding connector according to the User Manual.
• It is recommended to connect the valves included in the scope of delivery, or additional valves available through the link
• When installing and connecting third-party shut-off valves, it is important to understand that fixing the position of the valve by means of an electric current is unacceptable. The control unit removes the voltage from the valve 4 minutes after the limit switch responds.

When the wireless sensor's scanning mode is enabled, the control module performs a two-way communication session with each wireless sensor every 30 minutes. If the response from the sensor is not received for any reason (failure, battery discharge, etc.), the module closes the valves and signals the loss of communication with the sensor.
If the wireless sensor's scanning mode is disabled, the status of the valves will not change if there is no response from the sensor, but the message about the loss of communication with the sensor will still be received.
Additional settings for these events are also available in the mobile App.

Enabling the wireless sensor's scanning mode (it is enabled by default):

• simultaneously press and hold the "Close" and "Open" buttons for more than 3 seconds
• when pressed, you will hear a long, single beep that indicates that this mode is enabled
• when you release the buttons, you will hear two consecutive beeps, which indicate successful application of the setting

Disabling the wireless sensor's scanning mode:

• simultaneously press and hold the "Close" and "Open" buttons for more than 3 seconds
• when pressed, you will hear a double beep that indicates that this mode is disabled
• when you release the buttons, you will hear two consecutive beeps, which indicate successful application of the setting

The control module enables connection of any pulse water meters which provide:

• the ability to work in pulse mode
• pulse scaling factor 1/10/100 litre/pulse

For correct connection, please refer to the Technical Certificate of the connected metering device.
The metering devices are connected to the 1, 2, 3, 4 line, and in the application the operating mode of a specific line is configured (Sensor> Counter).

*using Valtec VLF as an example
The color and purpose of the wires may vary depending on the manufacturer.
For proper connection, you need only 2 wires that "come" from the meter's reed switch (no matter about polarity).

* the valve connection unit can be supplied with different supply voltage: 12-220V AC, max 16A and 6-36V DC, max 8A. The power supply parameters depend on the connected valves and are regulated by an additional power source (to be purchased separately). All connected valves must have the same supply parameters. The connected valves operate in the same way as if they would connected to the Valve 1 contacts of the control module in parallel.
The maximum number of connected valves is calculated based on the total consuming current: for example, 16 220V valves each consuming 1A or 30 220V valves each consuming 0.5 A.

• If the device has been added to the application, but after connecting and waiting, the information "Module not found in the network" is displayed, first of all, you need to make sure that the device is connected to the Wi-Fi network (the corresponding indication is provided in the User Manual), and that the distributing device (router / access point) has an Internet connection (sites can be opened).

If the above conditions are met, we proceed to check the device:

1. You will need a device on which the connection via the SST Cloud App will be established (for example, smartphone 1) and a device with Internet access, which will act as an access point (for example, another smartphone 2).
2. You can find instructions on how to run a smartphone in the access point mode in its User Manual or on YouTube. The requirements for the distributed network are as described above.
3. Before you proceed, it is recommended to check whether there is an Internet connection on the smartphone 1 connected to the smartphone 2 (which acts as a router).
4. Reset the thermostat according to the instructions (presented below, in the "Networking. Troubleshooting" section).
5. Connect the device according to the instructions for the standard procedure (in the home ownership settings, indicate the parameters of the network that is distributed by smartphone 2).

• If the device is working properly, then after a while it will be available for remote control, the message "Module is not found in the network" will not be displayed.
• In this case, refer to the section "Networking. Troubleshooting".
• The most common reason is the closed ports 6350, 1883, 8883. On some operators' equipment (Router or Access Point) and / or when configuring this equipment by the provider (operator), the port settings may be changed.
• If the ports are already open, then you need to perform their forced forwarding.
  
• In the event that the device still does not connect to the Internet, does not update, and after waiting, the application displays the message " Module is not found in the network ", it is recommended to additionally make sure that the network parameters are set correctly, all the above steps for setting up and connecting performed properly.

This can happen when the Internet speed is low - the list of devices is not loaded immediately. You can check the speed at www.speedtest.net Check the health of your WiFi router. If the internet speed remains too slow, contact your provider.

• Before applying the new network / router parameters, you should change the settings of your WiFi network in the home ownership settings or add a new WiFi network in the device settings and switch the devices to the new WiFi network (at the time of switching, the devices must be connected to the existing / old network / router, otherwise you need to reconnect to the cloud in AP mode).

In the SST Cloud App, you must perform the following steps:
1. Connect on the device (smartphone / tablet, etc.) to a new router / changed WiFi network
2. Open the SST Cloud App and select the home ownership in which the router / WiFi network has changed. If there is only one home ownership, then it opens immediately, by default
3. Press the "Settings" icon in the upper right corner
4. Select the "WiFi network setup" item
5.1. In the upper right corner, opposite the name of the already installed WiFi network, click the "Settings" icon and edit the changed parameters
5.2. Select the "Add WiFi network and enter new WiFi network data" item

• Important! The network name and password must not contain spaces, punctuation marks and Cyrillic characters. (These data are set when configuring the router).

Q: I can't establish WiFi network connection with the device.
A: Check if the entered password is correct to connect to the WiFi network of the device. It is also possible that another nearby smartphone or tablet has automatically connected to the device. If after checking the problem is not resolved, try restarting your device. You can also contact the support service.
Q: The device does not find the network when operating in the AP mode.
A: Make sure the device is in the AP mode. If it is so, switch the thermostat to the SA mode and then back to the AP. Or restart your device. If the problem persists, please contact the support service.
Q: The device does not connect to the WiFi network after receiving the WiFi settings.
A: Make sure that the network name and password have been entered correctly (you can check this in the home ownership settings "WiFi network settings"). If the WiFi settings were incorrect, you need to delete the network and add the device again. Check if devices have access to the Internet (see Checking open outgoing ports). You can also reset the device settings (see "How do I reset all module settings to their default values?") You can also contact the support service.
Q: The device does not appear on the network after being added.
A: Make sure the device is turned ON and check your internet connection. It may take a few minutes for the settings to be applied after adding the device. If the device remains to be inactive, try removing it and adding it again. You can also contact the support service.
Q: There are problems with the device WiFi networking.
A: Make sure your WiFi router is turned ON, working properly, and the device is within its coverage. Check if the WiFi settings are correct (you can check this in the home ownership settings "WiFi network settings"). Try restarting your device. You can also reset device settings (see "How do I reset all module settings to their default values?"). If the problem persists, please contact the support service.
