Fronius Smart Meter TS 65A-3 Device descrip- The Fronius Smart Meter TS is a bidirectional electricity meter which optimizes tion self-consumption and records the household's load curve. The Fronius Smart Meter TS provides a clear overview of a user's own power consumption in con- junction with the Fronius inverter, Fronius Datamanager, and Fronius data inter- face.
Dangerous electrical voltage. Intended use The Fronius Smart Meter TS is a fixed piece of equipment for public grids of TN/TT systems and records self-consumption and/or individual loads in the sys- tem. The Fronius Smart Meter TS is required for systems with a battery storage...
The installation is carried out on an indoor DIN rail with cor- responding back-up fuses, which are adapted to the cable cross-sections of the copper conductors and to the maximum current of the meter. The Fronius Smart Meter TS must only be operated in accordance with the specifications in the en- closed documentation and in accordance with local laws, regulations, provisions, standards, and within the limits of technical possibilities.

Use a mutual twisted cable pair for corresponding data lines (D+/D-, M0+/ M0-). On Fronius GEN24 inverters, the M0 and M1 inputs can be selected for this purpose. If the data lines are close to the mains cabling, use wires or cables that are designed for 300 to 600 V (never less than the operating voltage).

Secondary meter Records the load curve of individual loads (e.g. washing machine, lights, television, heat pump, etc.) in the consumption branch and makes the measured data available for energy profiling in Fronius Solar.web. Producer meter Records the load curve of individual producers (e.g. wind power plant) in the consumption branch and provides measurement data for energy profiling in Fronius Solar.web.

The service password must be entered in order to access the "Meter" menu item. Three-phase or single-phase Fronius Smart Meter TS can be used. In both cases, the selection is made under the "Fronius Smart Meter" item. The Fronius Datamanager automatically identifies the meter type.
In the pop-up window, set the position of the meter (feed-in point or con- sumption point). For more information on the position of the Fronius Smart Positioning on page 13. Meter TS, see Click the "Ok" button when the OK status is displayed. If the Timeout status is displayed, try again.
"Device configura- tion" menu item. Three-phase or single-phase Fronius Smart Meter TS can be used. In both cases, the selection is made under the "Components" menu area. The meter type is de- termined automatically. A primary meter and several secondary meters can be selected. The primary meter needs to be configured first before a secondary meter can be selected.
Follow the installation wizard in the individual sections and complete the in- stallation. Add the system components in Fronius Solar.web and start up the PV sys- tem. The network wizard and the product setup can be carried out independently of each other.
