Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Flukso Guard App

Issue setup of Flukso Guard Android App.
Inserted Sensor ID as my main Consumption Sensor, but Flukso Guard still says in red at top of screen "Demo, No Sensor found".

Appreciate some assistance

Gas Probe Schlumberger G4 (1997)

Dear All,

I successfully installed a FLS02-F2 gas probe on a Krom Schroder BK-G4 (picture 1 and 2). http://s76.photobucket.com/user/Marieline/media/Picture1_zpsvmijeiid.jpg...

Now I would like to get readings from a Schlumberger G4 (1997) meter (picture 3) too.

Unlike the BK-G4, this meter doesn’t have a ‘volume per pulse’-indication on it (e.g. 1imp=0.001m³). Judging by other topics I read on this forum, I guess that a FLM equipped with a FLS02-F2 gas probe won’t work for this kind of meter cause it does not contain a magnet or pulse option? Instead I should use an opto-reflective sensor, but this is not (yet) available in the shop?

Kind regards,
Marieline

FLM for use with 127V / 60Hz ?

Background
In my country electricity is heavily ‘subsidized’.

Since installing air conditioners the electricity use has increased up to a point where I’ve gone up two tariff groups. Since that point I’ve started monitoring electricity usage the old fashion way: in an excel sheet. Getting rid of an old refrigerator saved me 6 kWh per day!
The average use now is stable at 22-25 kWh per day.

A couple of months ago the electric company announced that it would start increasing the price for businesses to a break-even level. Lucky for me there are elections in May so the government will not increase the price for households (at least until after the elections)
For me that would mean the price per kWh will go from USD 0.029 to USD 0.223 !

To better monitor (and manage) the electric consumption I would like to install FLM but I have a few
Questions

1) The voltage in my country is 127V / 60 Hz. Can I use a FLM?
2) The Electricity meter has a pulse indicator but it is in an enclosure and I’m not sure if the electric company will open it up for me. In that case I have to fall back on clamps.
3) Although the voltage rated at 127V my UPS indicates that is varies between 123 and 129. Will this affect the output of FLM when using a clamp?

Gas probe wire extension ?

All,

I just started considering buying a Flukso installation. I'm very noob to all this stuff, but I would like to see what my consumption of Electricity, Water and Gas is.

So after watching some cool youtube stuff and reading up on the forums I went to the shop.
I've one question (for now :-) ) related to the gas clamp. My gas meter is approx. 10 meters away from the place where I need to install my Fluksometer. There is 2m wire attached to the gas clamp. Now, is it safe to extend this to a length of 10m ? Would that influence measurement accuracy ? Do I need to use a specif type of wire too extend ?

Thanks,

meter reading versus Flukso reading

Wish to know why the consumption read out ( daily ) differs significantly from my actual meter reading.
Live in Holland and am using P1 port on a smart meter and am using both the day tariff and night tariff.
Am also interested in knowing where the Flukso takes its reading i.e before the meter as is I asume the case when using clamps, or after the meter.

Thanking you in advance for a quick response this time around.
