Install electricity meters
This article describes the on-site installation of electricity meters. For the equipment to function, configuration on the Climkit platform is also required. Links are available at the end of the document.
This step occurs after the installation of a router and a Climkit Gateway (or an RS485-Ethernet converter in the case of a Cloud Gateway).
1. Installation of direct meters
This installation allows the measurement of currents with an intensity < 80A.
- Connect the phases on the grid side from the top (L1, L2, and L3).
- Connect the consumer (or the photovoltaic inverter) from the bottom (L1, L2, and L3).
- Connect the neutral at the top and/or bottom of the meter (N).
2. Installation of indirect meters and current transformers (CT)
This installation allows the measurement of currents with an intensity > 80A.
2.1 Install the meter
- Connect each phase and the neutral to the voltage terminals at the bottom of the meter according to the diagram below.
- Bridge L1 and LA, and N and NA.
- Connect each CT to the terminals at the top of the meter, respecting phases L1, L2, and L3.
2.2 Configure the CT ratio:
The CT ratio (CT rate) is equal to the primary current of the CT divided by its secondary current. The primary current is indicated on the CT. The secondary current is 5A.
Press the "E" key for 3 seconds and enter the default password (1000) using the "P" and "M" keys. Confirm by holding "E" for a long time.
Navigate to "CT rate".
Press the "E" key for 3 seconds and enter the CT rate corresponding to the primary current of the installed CT according to the table below. Confirm by holding "E" for a long time.
Primary current | CT rate (ratio) |
100 A | 20 |
200 A | 40 |
400 A | 80 |
600 A | 120 |
800 A | 160 |
1000 A | 200 |
1500 A | 300 |
2000 A | 400 |
2.3 Voltage measurement (U):
Connect the neutral to N and each phase to L1, L2, and L3.
Also connect LA with L1, and NA with N, to power the meter.
2.4 Current measurement (I)
Open and securely close each CT around each phase of the cable for which you want to measure the current.
Connect the S1 (white) and S2 (black) wires of the CT to the top of the meter for each phase.
2.5 Voltage and current connection verification
Press the "M" button until the Power Factor (PF) is displayed for each phase L1, L2, and L3.
The displayed values should be close to 0.9.
If this is not the case, the voltage measurement and the current measurement are not on the same phase. Move the S1 and S2 pairs to another phase until a correct value is obtained.
2.6 CT direction verification
Press the "P" button until the instantaneous active power (kW) is displayed for each phase L1, L2, and L3.
The values must be positive (consumption meter) or negative (production meter) indicated by the "-" sign.
Always check the input meter with the site inverters switched off to obtain positive values. Do not rely on the arrow indicated on the CT.
If the indicated value is not in the correct direction, reverse the S1 and S2 wires of the phase.
3. RS485 bus connection
Do not strip the wires too much.
Meters (Slaves) are connected via an RS485 bus network to the Gateway (Master) according to the diagram below.
Use the A, B, and G terminals of the meter.
The bus connection requires careful and rigorous work. For new panels, it is recommended to do this in the workshop and use a U72 shielded 4 x 0.8mm2 type cable.
4. Modbus addressing of meters
Addressing the meter is done directly on the meter.
Under "SET Addr", enter the meter address defined on the online portal (see above).
To change the address, press the "E" key for 3 seconds, then select the unit to be changed using the "E" key, then change the unit using the "P" or "M" keys.
Once the address is correctly edited, confirm by pressing the "E" key for 3 seconds.
Change the password of each meter under "SET PASS" with the password indicated under EQUIPMENT > Communication > Gateway:
