Settings - Meter - Settings (see „Configuration web interface“) Mounting The Fronius Smart meter has two mounting holes spaced 5.375 in. (137 mm) apart (center- to-center). These mounting holes are normally obscured by the detachable screw termi- nals. Remove the screw terminals to mark the hole positions and mount the meter.
(circuit breaker, switch or disconnect) and overcurrent protection (fuse or circuit breaker). The Fronius Smart Meter only draws 10-30 milliamps, so the rating of any switches, dis- connects, fuses and / or circuit breakers is determined by the wire gauge, the mains volt- age and the current interrupting rating required.
