Attach the current transformers to the conductors to be measured and connect the current transformer cables to the Fronius Smart Meter. Switch off the cur- rent before disconnecting the live conductor. Route the mains conductors through the current transformers as described in the previous section.
Modbus RTU the Modbus interface of the Fronius inverter using a network cable (type CAT5 or higher). The Fronius Smart Meter IP can also be connected to the network (LAN / WLAN). This enables software updates to be carried out.
Two wires can be installed in each terminal; the wires are twisted first, inser- ted into the terminal and tightened. Note: A loose wire can disable an entire area of the network.
