Indicates a risk of flawed results and possible damage to the equipment. Description of the The Fronius Smart Meter is a bidirectional electricity meter for optimising your own con- device sumption and recording the load curve of the household. Together with the Fronius Datamanager, the Fronius Smart Meter provides a clear overview of your own electricity consumption.
Failure to comply with this EU Directive may result in a negative impact on the environment and your health! Positioning The Fronius Smart Meter can be installed at two possible locations in the system: at the feed-in point and at the consumption point. Placement at the feed-in point Fronius Smart Meter located at the feed-in point.
