Safety rules Explanation of DANGER! Safety Instruc- tions Indicates an immediate danger. ▶ Death or serious injury may result if appropriate precautions are not taken. WARNING! Indicates a possibly dangerous situation. ▶ Death or serious injury may result if appropriate precautions are not taken. CAUTION! Indicates a situation where damage or injury could occur.
Any safety devices that are not functioning properly must be repaired by an au- thorized specialist before the device is switched on. Never bypass or disable protection devices. For the location of the safety and danger notices on the device, refer to the sec- tion headed “General”...
Together with the Fronius inverter, the Fronius Datamanager and the Fronius data inter- face, the Fronius Smart Meter provides a clear overview of your own power con- sumption. The meter measures the power flow to the loads or to the grid and forwards the information to the Fronius inverter via ModBus RTU/RS485 communication.

Disconnecting devices must be mounted within sight and as close as possible to the Fronius Smart Meter; they must also be easy to use. The disconnecting devices must satisfy the requirements of IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-3, as well as all national and local regulations for electrical systems.
The Fronius Smart Meter needs 0.3 VA to carry out its measurements. Losses also occur on the outgoing and return leads. The power of the current trans- former must be greater than the sum total of the power of the Fronius Smart Meter and the leads. The higher the power, the better.
2.2 VA Example The length of the outgoing and return lead (0.5 m each) between the Fronius Smart Meter and the current transformer is a total of 1 m and has a copper cable cross-section of 1.5 mm²; the line resistance is therefore 0.6 VA according to the table above.

(001.0 - 500.0 Change password and write it down IMPORTANT! Changing the transformation ratios will reset the meter data in the Fronius Smart Meter to 0. Transformation ratio in the current transformer x Transformation ratio of the voltage transformers = max. 1,000,000.
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 for the "Meter" menu item. Three-phase or one-phase Fronius Smart Meters may be used. In both cases, se- lection is made via the "Fronius Smart Meter" item. The Fronius Datamanager automatically detects 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 6. Meter, see Click the "Ok" button when the OK status is displayed. If the Timeout status is displayed, try again.
The service password must be entered for the "Device configuration" menu item. Three-phase or one-phase Fronius Smart Meters may be used. In both cases, se- lection is made via the "Components" menu area. The meter type is determined automatically.
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.
