Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Meter afwijking

De opnamen van mijn zonnepanelen komen niet overeen met sunnybeam en fluksometer toch vrij groot afwijking
Ik heb energiemeter van Orbis CONTAX 3221 SO zonnepaneel1.
En CARLO GAVAZZI EM10-DIN op zonnepaneel2.
Moet ik Flukso meter ander waarde instellen bij sensor 4 en 5 momenteel staat daar waarde 1?

Gegevens energie meter CARLO GAVAZZI EM10-DIN
LEDs Red LED (Energy consumption),1000 pulses/kWh (Max Frequency 16 Hz)according to EN62053-11
Measurements kWh from 0,0 to 99999,9
Method TRMS measurements of
distorted wave forms
Coupling type Direct

Water meter Kent PSMT

Hi everybody!

I am using an Hall-effect switch to reed pulses from my Kent PSMT water meter, as described in [1].

It seems to work well, but I am a bit puzzled by the ratio of liter per pulse I am getting: it seems to generate a pulse every 0.84 l, which does not relate to anything -- the closest round number I can find is 6 pulses every 5 liters...

My 10+ year old meter is now sold by Elster under the V100 reference [2] where they advertise 0.5 l/pulse...

Solar Input showing as 109 watts at night.

Inverters 'off'

Is there a way to make this nearer '0' ?
I believe its also bumping up my daily figure by the same amount.

Bazzle

Connecting using the infrared flashing LED

My Smart meter "i-credit 500 PRI", has an 3200 impulse/kWh flashing infared LED.

Would a device something like hhhh://phk.freebsd.dk/Eldims/
{replace the "hhhh" with "http", as your spam filter didn’t like it?}
work to detect the flashes and convert these into usable pulses. (i think the pulses are about 30ms). (how clean does the signal need to be)? is a sketchy sign wave ok, or does it need to have proper digital shape?

This would then show 100% correct energy usage, and you could just stick it onto the meter?

Graph keeps showing some power when Flukso is not connected...

Hello everybody!

I see some people complaining that their FluksoMeter does not always update the site, but here I have the opposite problem ;)

I wanted to have a clean install of the box, so yesterday I installed an additional power plug close to the device.
To work safely, I switched off the main power line for a couple of hours: so no power, no network, no FluksoMeter at all; but still the graph reports 109 Watts for the whole period... (see attached)

Any explanation?
