Simple questions

Hi,
I love your product but it leaves me with a few questions.

A: version2 has 2 pulse ports, which sensors should one use on these ? and where to buy

B: How to decide which powerclamb one needs

C: does the system work on a 3 phases installation (like mine)

D: how is the flukso powered (battery or main power outlet)

E: posibility to measure water/ gass consumption how do I accomplish this ?which sensors do I need ?

F: is it possible to make my own charts by getting the output via network using for example snmp ?

My assumptions are that I need 3 clambs to measure each phase. But monitoring the LED of my powermeter would give also an accurate result with just 1 pulse sensor.

But you do not sell any pulse sensors nor can I find any links to sensors / schematics to build them myself.

I am completely new to your product, so maybe this is all familiar to you but as a newbe it are just some questions.

Living on a houseboat and having my meter on the shore side make me the ideal customer for your product (if powered by a battery as I do not have an outlet in the small box outside where my meter is housed )

I am realy enthousiastic about your product but I'm craving for some more (basic) info I asked above to decide if this would work for my situation and to get the most out of it.

Or did I completely overlook the FAQ part of your side ?

Thank you in advance.

forgive me for question D, I can clearly see it has is powered by a powersupply which needs an outlet.

Hi, as a very new user i will try to answer some of your questions :-))

I have attached 3 clamps 50amp (3 phases) to measure my power consumption in a 3 phase-installation, for a normal house. To measure my PV-production, I have connected 1 pulse-sensorport to the S0 port of my official GSC-counter (which measures my PV-production).

I would also love to know which pulse-sensor to use for my Gasmeter (or be able to buy it from this site...?)

Most of the answers to your questions can be found in the Fluksometer Manual [1]. We're working on providing suitable reed sensors for water and gas readings. However, since the 'interface' to these meters is not standardized, the sensors will not work for all types of water/gas meters that are currently deployed.

Thanks Manual cleared up my questions.
