I want to install a Fluksometer but I'm not a professional, so I hope to get some help here before ordering..... I posted some photos:

- I have 3 phases, so I wonder if there's enough space under in the fuse box to install 3 clamps around the wires or can I spread the clamps under and above the differential?
- how many supplementary sensors can be installed: if possible I would like to install a gas- and waterprobe and a kWh solar meter too (or is there a limit of 2 additional?)
- my gasmeter is a krom Schröder BK6 (Elster Handel). Is the gasprobe suitable here?
Thanks for your help!
Looks ok. Pity no spare space on the din rail.
Ive seen the sensors squeezed in tight. You may have to run a longer wire thats all.
Thx, Bazzle, I'll go for it!
Do you also know whether you can connect another 3 sensors (water, gas and solar kWh meter) besides the 3 clamps?
Here you see pictures of my gas- and watermeter:

I look forward to become a member of this interesting community.....
Thanks for your reply!
Yes you can but the gas and water normally need to use the pulse inputs on the Flukso.
Posts on that subject in the Installation part of this forum on here.
Solar if single phase output yes another clamp should do it. You just tell the setup page what you have for all the above.
Some on here have done for 3 phase too.
Just be aware clamps may give some phantom readings , esp on solar, at night. Normal.
Din rain Pulse meters work best for all the electricity data but if you have no room clamps suffice.
To correct Bazzle - there are three analog and two pulse input terminals (or 1 analog + 4 pulse on B-version + Port 6 for reading Dutch Smartmeters); this in total makes five sensors to attach... So direct input only for consumption electricity + water + gas OR consumption electricity (analog) + (gas XOR water) + supply (don't use a clamp for solar, but a DIN rail meter); alternative is providing an additional sensor on an Arduino sending MQTT-messages via the FLM...
Gas and watermeter are ready to put reed switches in it, so far i can see on the pictures.
Thx, everyone, my FLM is ordered today....
Hope to get it soon....
