Article summary

Installation

Install the sensor by attaching the split core over the conductor to be measured. P2 marking on CT should point towards the load. Note that only one conductor (phase) is to be placed in the split core.

Edit sensor

After adding the sensor to your system, enter the Edit sensor from the sensor details page to configure sensor settings.

Ah - kWh

The sensor itself measures Ah (Ampere hours). To convert to kWh you need to Open Advanced settings and choose Convert - Digitizer.
Choose Ah - kWh in the drop down meny (configuration helpers) and enter:

  • Line voltage
  • Number of phases
  • Number of conductors - for high amperage circuits multiple conductors in parallel may be used for each phase. Current will split equally between them, you only need to install a sensor on one of them and enter the total number of conductors
  • Meter reading - The sensor stores the accumulated measurement value internally, and this cannot be reset. To, for example, set reading to 0, an offset value must therefore be inserted here. Insert the last reading with a - (minus) in front and it will show 0 kWh in the app.
