Want to purchase one, just have a question

So I want to buy the Fluksometer v3E, together with clamps/probes for electricity, water and gas.

About the installation: "This device is meant to be installed near your fuse box."

My problem is that my watermeter, gasmeter end government-installed electricity fusebox are in one place, and from there I got a thick XVB cable to my personal fuse box at another location.

So my problem is that I don't have access to seperate phase cables in the location where the other meters are. Unless I cut open the isolation of the XVB to place the clamps. Doesn't seem smart.

Or am I missing something here?

Thanks
Vincent

So now I'm thinking of just installing the Fluksometer where the gas and watermeters are, and then use this device to measure electricity. Is this device compatible with the Flukso v3E?

The pulse would be transfered using an UTP cable,

If you're using the pulse sensor for the electricity it should work.
I'm using the pulse sensor for the watermeter at a distance of more then 10 meters on a phone cable.

If you have to much interference add a condensor of 0,1µF at the Flukso side.

i run one of these http://au.rs-online.com/web/p/digital-power-meters/7894105/
that one looks fine
pulse is better than a clamp meter

UTP Cable will be fine

all looks good to me

good luck with it all

Why don't you install the FLM near your fuse box, use the split-core current clamps to measure electricity and extend the water/gas sensors with SVV or UTP lead wire?
