Metering Connection Connection Metering Connection Every system will need at least 1 GEM120 (ID1) meter installing to monitor the import and export of the building. Every GEM120 meter needs a power supply/voltage reference point. This could be a dedicated supply from a 6A, for example. Every GEM120 meter will need a data connection back to the inverter’s meter communication port.
