New Zealand. Intended use The Fronius Smart Meter IP is a fixed piece of equipment for public grids of TN/TT systems and may only be used to measure loads and self-consumption. The Fronius Smart Meter IP is required for systems with a battery storage system and/or a Fronius Ohmpilot installed for communication between the individual components.
The available documentation forms part of the product and must be read, ob- served and kept in good condition. It must also be accessible at all times at the place of installation. Fronius International GmbH assumes no responsibility for compliance with or non-compliance with these laws or regulations in connection with the installation of the product.

Preparations Choice of loca- Please note the following criteria when choosing a location for the Smart Meter: tion Only install on a solid, non-flammable surface. When installing the Smart Meter in a switch cabinet or similar enclosure, make sure that it is of the appropriate safety class and that the hot air that develops will be dissipated by forced-air ventilation.
(see Connecting the current transformers on page 22). Establish the data connection of the Fronius Smart Meter IP. The data con- nection can be established in three different ways: Modbus RTU (recommended for backup power operation), see page 23.
(automatic circuit breaker). The Fronius Smart Meter IP consumes 30 mA, the nominal capacity of the dis- connecting devices and the overcurrent protection is determined by the conduct- or cross-sections, the mains voltage and the required breaking capacity.
Cabling WARNING! Danger from live mains voltage inputs An electric shock can be fatal. ▶ Switch off the power supply be- fore connecting the mains voltage inputs. Permissible conductor cross-section of AC terminals: Wire: 1.5 - 4 mm² Each live conductor must be connected to the AC terminals as shown in the fig- ures below.
It is recommended to use Fronius CT current transformers (item numbers transformers 41,0010,0104 / 41,0010,0105 / 41,0010,0232). To ensure smooth operation of the Fronius Smart Meter IP and accurate measurement results, all connected current transformers must meet these requirements: The current transformer must generate 333 mV at nominal current. The nominal current of the current transformers is listed in the data sheet for the current transformer.
Note down the nominal current of the current transformer for each meter. These values will be required for commissioning. Attach the current transformers to the conductor to be measured and con- nect the current transformer cables to the Fronius Smart Meter IP. WARNING! Danger from mains voltage An electric shock can be fatal.
Modbus interface of the Fronius inverter using a CAT 5 STP (Shielded Twis- ted Pair) or higher data cable. The Fronius Smart Meter IP can also be connected to the network (LAN / WLAN). This allows software updates to be carried out.
IMPORTANT! A loose wire can disable an entire area of the network. The data communication connections of the Fronius Smart Meter IP are electrically isolated from hazard- ous voltages.
