Safety rules General The device is manufactured using state-of-the-art technology and according to recognised safety standards. If used incorrectly or misused, however, it can cause: injury or death to the operator or a third party damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operator. All persons involved in commissioning, maintaining and servicing the device must be suitably qualified, have knowledge of and experience in dealing with electrical installations and...
Do not carry out any modifications, alterations, etc. to the device without the manufactur- er's consent. Components that are not in perfect condition must be replaced immediately. Copyright Copyright of these operating instructions remains with the manufacturer. The text and illustrations are all technically correct at the time of printing. We reserve the right to make changes.
Set meter location via the Fronius system monitoring web interface under "Settings - Meter - Settings" (see Configuring the web interface on page 18) Mounting The Fronius Smart Meter can be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail. The housing comprises 4 modules according to DIN 43880 Protective circuit The Fronius Smart Meter is a hard-wired device and requires a disconnecting device (cir- cuit breaker, switch or disconnector) and overcurrent protection (automatic circuit breaker).
The Fronius Smart Meter consumes just 10-30 mA, so that the nominal capacity of all switches, disconnectors, fuses and/or automatic circuit breakers is determined by the wire gauge, mains voltage and required breaking capacity. Switches, disconnectors and circuit breakers must be within sight and located as close as possible to the Fronius Smart Meter;...

The Fronius Smart Meter needs 0.3 VA to carry out its measurements. Losses also occur on the outgoing and return leads. The power of the current converter must be greater than the sum total of the power of the Fronius Smart Meter and the leads. The higher the power, the better.
Attach the current transformers to the conductor to be measured and connect the current transformer cables to the Fronius Smart Meter. Always switch off the power supply before disconnecting live conductors. The current transformers are connected to connections 1 and 3; 4 and 6; 7 and 9. If nec- essary, excessively long cables can be shortened accordingly.
300 m Type 1 and type 2 Fronius inverters The outputs of the Fronius Solar Meter are electrically isolated from hazardous volt- ages. If the output cables are close to the mains cabling, use wires or cables that are de- signed for 300 to 600 V (never less than the operating voltage).

The primary meter is always assigned address 1. All the other meters are numbered consecutively with the address range from 2 to 14.
