DConnect Box, DConnect Box 2

DConnect by DAB is available for Android (Google Play) and iOS (App Store). If you do not have a smartphone compatible with DConnect by DAB, you can still control your devices remotely using a PC or MAC: just go to the www.dconnect.dabpumps.com website and log in when prompted to do so (registration is required).

DConnect Box can be connected to the Internet using a modem. Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable connections are both possible. After establishing the connection, simply follow the indications of the Instruction Manual to connect to DAB Cloud and create your user account.

Yes you can. After connecting the Ethernet cable to the modem/router and DConnect Box, simply complete the network configuration as indicated in the Instruction Manual.

If connection using a network cable is not possible, we recommend that you try Wi-Fi connection. DConnect Box has a function that automatically detects any available Wi-Fi networks. If the Wi-Fi network signal is not strong enough, this will be notified to the user. In such case we recommend the installation of a Wi-Fi signal repeater (which amplifies the Wi-Fi signal), available for purchase at most electronics shops.

On the DAB official website you can always find the latest versions of our products’ Instruction Manuals.

After connecting DConnect Box to the Internet, follow the instructions of the App (or the program, if connected through a web browser), and check the “Update” section. If a new update is available, click the green icon and wait for the update process to complete. Please see the DConnect Box Instruction Manual.

Your products must be compatible: check the "D.Connect ready" logo. For the connection simply follow the procedure indicated in the DConnect Box Instruction Manual.

After checking that the wired connection is correct, make sure that you have assigned a different address to each Evoplus - using the “Ad” parameter - and that you have enabled communication using the “En” parameter. All the devices must be connected in sequence, creating a chain. The last circulator must always be connected to DConnect Box. The “Br”, “Pa”, “Sb” parameters must be common for each connected circulator.

Check that the DConnect Box Wi-Fi LED is flashing. If not, close and reopen the App and follow the instructions again.

Each DConnect Box can manage up to eight pumps. If you need to manage more than eight pumps, just add another D.Connect Box to the existing installation.

Go to the “Where to buy” section to find your closest DAB point of contact.

Contact our service centres so that they can give you specific support.

Make sure that the room where the pumps are installed is capable of receiving a 4G signal. Better reception can be ensured using a modem with remote antenna, installed near a window, skylight, or at the entrance door.

Referring to the manual, check that the individual pumps are updated and update them if necessary. To create an Esybox unit:

  1.  Access the “Installer Menu” using the buttons Bottoniand press and hold the Mode buttonbutton until “AS” appears on the display. “No Dev” is shown on the pump if it is not associated with any other component.
  2. Press and hold the button on the pump for 5 seconds until the blue LED under the display starts to flash. Repeat the same procedure for the next pump to be added to the pressure booster unit. A maximum of 4 pumps can be added to a unit. Once the pumps are associated, the components of the unit are shown on the pump display and the blue LED remains steady. Once the pump unit has been created, it can be connected to the DConnect Box to enable remote control: Repeat steps 1 and 2 for any of the pumps in the unit that has just been created. Within 45 sec, press and hold the left key of the DConnect Box for 5 seconds until you hear a beep. The wireless LED of the DConnect Box will flash and then remain steady once it is associated with the pump unit. To check successful association, open the “AS” menu on the pump display and you should see a new component in the unit called “D.Box”

In this configuration, an Esybox unit is already associated with a DConnect Box and another standalone Esybox is to be connected to the latter.
Referring to the manual, check that the individual pumps are updated and update them if necessary.

  • a direct access to the internet (no captive portal, login/sign in page)
  • an NTP protocol (123 UDP) to synchronize the time.
