Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Selecting a clamp

Hi
I'm considering buying a Flusko meter and I'm wondering how one decides whether to buy 50A or 100A clamps? My switch box main switch is a 63A breaker.

I've looked at this thread: https://www.flukso.net/content/size-current-clamp
and it appears that the larger the clamp the lower the resolution. Is that correct? If so, in a 'normal' small house I would probably be better off with a 50A clamp even though my main switch is a 63A one, as it would be highly unlikely I'd draw 50+ Amps.

Is my thinking correct, or should I just go for a 100A clamp?
Thanks

Ethernet connection lost

How can I get the flukso to reset the ethernet connection after the internet router was down due to a power failure? I've waited a day, but is does not connect anymore.

FLM02B - connection times out - Cant access settings

Hi Guys,

I've just tried to access my new Flukso FLM02B. I tried to log onto http://192.168.255.1 but I just get the error message "connection has timed out". It never connects, though the ethernet light is on.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what's wrong or what I could try? Yes, I have connected an ethernet cable (I tried 2 different ones).

Thanks
Lyndon

MODBUS over RS485

Probably a big ask but just wondering whether anyone has implemented the MODBUS protocol on the RS485 inputs? I have a Schneider Electric Conext RL inverter.

I have details on the Conext MODBUS protocol but as I'm new to the Flukso would appreciate any tips on how to implement this protocol. Is there something similar someone could point me to?

Many thanks!

S0 pulse meter - pulse length 30ms supported?

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, so a short introduction might be welcome. I'm from Austria, live near Vienna and am passionate about collecting and graphing all kinds of data I can get my hands on.

I am about to order a flukso v2b and would be happy if someone could answer me a few questions beforehand.

I plan a setup like this:
- main: 3 phase S0 pulse meter for total electricity consumption metering
- detail: up to 4 selected points for detailed measurement of parts of my house using a combination of clamps and single-phase S0 meters

Question 1: That should work like I imagine, right?

Question 2: Is there a difference in the results between using an S0 meter and a clamp?

Question 3: The B+G E-Tech DRT428DC-V3 S0 meter seems an inexpensive product to me and has 2000imp/kWh with a pulse length of 30ms.
I have already read the posts regarding the imps/kWh and think the 2000 should work fine (I like it being more granular than a 1000imp/kWh one).
But what about the pulse length, I haven't found any info on that. Is 30ms a supported value, or to I need a 90ms meter?

Thank you four your feedback!
Florian
