Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Invalid Serial

Hey everyone,

I already have a Fluksometer and convinced my colleague to get one to.
But after reinstalling it at my place I found it linking up to the server but
when i wanted to add it to his account the serial was declined. Also
on my account it was not possible to do so.

The serial is FL02000345 but is doesn't seem to work. Did anybody else
have this problem at start-up??

thanks!

Optical pulse counter on IEC 62056-21 port?

My electricity meter has an IEC 62056-21 port, like the round part on http://www.dlms.com/images/ebm108.jpg. This should fit a device like http://www.telink.com.cn/resources/images/600003-01.jpg. But, as I understand it is quite difficult to interface a Flukso with this.

However, the output LED on the meter also flashes red for every Wh, quite bright. I figure it should be much simpler to use the port that way, and connect it to the pulse counter port. That should also be more accurate, as I won't have any problems with bad power factors.

So my question is: how would I hook this up to the Flukso? Can I just tape a photodiode to the meter and hook that up to the Flukso? Or am I overlooking things here?

Cables

Is it ok to replace cables which delivered with device with UTP?
I was planning to connect device in some distance from electricity switches . I connected all clamps and solar EM10 DIN meter via utp.
I get reading about 0.2 -0.3V from clamps and 4.7 from EM10 cables
is it right ?
Can I do the same with water & gaz sensors ?

thanks
