Verify the Correctness of Installation After finalizing the full Smappee installation, and while testing the Smappee measurements, you should specifically verify the correct wiring of the 8-pin connector block. These checks will be explained at a later step during the installation, at section "Checklist for Correct Configuration", on page 28.
The newly installed CTs always require an update of the configuration pages of the Smappee. For details, please see section "Configure the Smappee in the Expert Portal " on page Technical details The Smappee Pro has connectors for 9 current transformers.
Current Clamps Variants The table shows the current clamps that can be used with the Smappee Pro. Smappee supports only the CTs listed below. No other CTs should be used! Name/type Picture Specs Current Transformer MC: 50A SCT01-T10/50A MAX OV : 333 mV...
Preparing the Internet Connection Overview Now you should choose the method to connect the Smappee to the internet. There are three connection methods available: Ethernet cable (recommended) external Wi-Fi module (USB) external 3G/4G internet dongle (USBV) This section will prepare the Smappee for connecting to the Internet at a later point during the installation steps.
Initial Power-On of the Smappee Monitor Introduction Your Smappee Pro monitor is now nearly ready for the first power-on. Please complete a number of checks, before you power-on the Smappee. Important: The Smappee Pro is not yet completely installed and insulated.
