Replacing a faulty controller · field procedure

If the Hybird Edge Controller has been identified as faulty and a replacement unit has been provided, follow this procedure.

Before you begin

  • Confirm you have the replacement controller.

  • Note the faulty controller's UUID (visible on the unit label and in Hybird OS).

  • Document the current breaker configuration: list of breaker names and Modbus IDs, as these will need to be re-associated with the new controller.

Step 1: Disconnect the faulty controller

  • Disconnect the Ethernet cable (or note the Wi-Fi network it was connected to).

  • Disconnect the RS485 bus wire from the controller's terminal.

  • Disconnect the 24V DC power supply cable.

  • If an UPS is connected, disconnect it from the controller.

  • Remove the controller from the DIN rail.

Step 2: Install the replacement

  • Mount the replacement controller on the DIN rail.

  • Connect the 24V DC power from the PSU.

  • Connect the RS485 bus wire to the controller's RS485 terminal (same polarity as before).

  • Connect the Ethernet cable, or prepare to configure Wi-Fi during commissioning.

  • If using the UPS, reconnect it to the new controller.

Step 3: Power on and register

  • Apply power. The controller LED should show purple (booting), then red (active).

  • Contact Hybird support to register the new controller to the existing site. Provide the new controller's UUID (from the label) and the site name.

  • Hybird support will associate the new controller with the site in Hybird OS.

Step 4: Re-scan and verify breakers

  • In Hybird OS, run a breaker scan from the new controller's page.

  • Verify all breakers appear with their correct Modbus IDs.

  • Re-apply breaker names if they were not automatically carried over from the previous configuration.

  • Verify each breaker is reporting measurements.

Step 5: Test

  • Verify the controller shows a current "last seen" timestamp in Hybird OS.

  • Check uptime is counting from zero (confirming it is the new unit).

  • Test remote switching on a non-critical circuit.

  • Confirm alerts and monitoring are active for the site.

Step 6: Return the faulty unit

Return the faulty controller to Hybird per the RMA instructions within 14 days.
