Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Current Clamp not Working

Hi All,
I have setup Flukso but, cannot get any power reading from clamp. I have plugged clamp into screw terminal one with positive and negative wires connect as per polarity described to clamp and fluskso screw terminal.

I am using flukso-read-mqtt.py to read the values being read by clamp. Unfortunately it is always 0 however if I unscrew the clamp end of the cables and hold one cable in each hand I get small readings of 2 or 3 watts.

The clamp itself however seems to be dead.

Clamp is 100amp and Fluskso is FLM02A.

Clamp is clamped to power board my pc runs off for testing. Voltage is 240 (Australian) and heartbeat is occurring to Flukso.net.

Anyone had similar problem? Should I purchase another current clamp?

Cheers
Chris

Elster V200 watermeter versus Kent V100 (sensoring)

Hi,
I replaced my very old Kent V100 water meter by an Elster v200 device.
I bought a Flukso sensor months ago to measure the v100 water streaming but the magnetic field was too low or non-existent. Since the v100 was 20 years old I replaced it (free of charge) by a v200 Elster.
I believe that, the current v100 Flukso sensor is incompatible with the v200 water meter.
I checked internet (flukso.net as well) and it seems that there are sensor devices for the v200 Elster available. (Cyble sensor ITRON, Elster PR6,...)
Has anybody in the forum experience with Elster V200 water meter and with above mentioned sensors?
Are there other sensors available which could work with a V200 and connect to the pulse port of Flukso?
Any Advise appreciated.

6 smart-main sensors on Fluksometer v2b

During the installation i've had some issue's with my Fluksometer v2b, resultsing in 3 electricity smart-main sensors and 3 gas smart-main sensors. Looks like the device works fine now, but how could the not used sensors be removed?

Incorrect Watts

On a new install I seem to have a reading of 25w when no power is being generated.

The inverter has its own watt meter and it reads 1w. I also hooked up a watt meter to the power cord and it's reading 3.3w.

Is there some way of adjusting the readout or calibration for the sensor. or do I have to try another sensor or input?

Thanks

Watermeter: connected sensor delivered by Flukso generates strange graphics

Hi,
2 years ago I installed Flukso V2 to measure 3 phase 400V accumulator heating at night + solar panel production during the day. Lucky for me Flukso doesn't make no difference between incoming or outgoing electricity. I can use the same graph for both measures. Anyway, because of issues with water supply I ordered a small Flukso sensor (+ 2 meter cable) compatible with a Kent V100 grenade watermeter.
Flukso wifi Port 1 2 3 : each phase of 400V accumulator heating + solar production on P2 P3
Pulse 4: free (was solar pulse)
Pulse 5: watermeter pulse

As a parameter I used a value of 10
In short 22 meter wire (2) connects pulse port and sensor.
I put the sensor into a small hole just under the analog meter type Kent v100 Grenade (XXXX,YYYYZ).
Now I get readings between 300 and 4,000 litres/day which is not possible. I also get the same value for hours and suddenly the value drops to 1/10 and stays there for another couple of hours.
I thought the readings should follow water consumption but strangely it just provide the same value for hours and than it jumps to another value. Only the day graphic shows the figures.
Has anybody similar experience with watermetering? Is the graph incorrect? Is the sensor faulty?
Any advice welcome.
