Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

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

Second port not working

The port number two is not working on my new flukso.
Any way I can trouble shoot the issue here on my end?

TIA.
