FAQ

Q: What is the communication protocol used with the RS485 interface?

A: The meter typically uses the Modbus RTU protocol, which is widely supported by most energy management systems, PLCs, and industrial gateways for direct and reliable integration.

Q: Can it be used with both single-phase and three-phase systems?

A: No, this meter is designed specifically for single-phase systems. For three-phase applications, a dedicated three-phase smart energy meter should be utilized to ensure accurate phase measurement.

Q: How is the meter calibrated?

A: The meter is factory-calibrated under strict ISO quality control standards to ensure out-of-the-box accuracy. However, it can be recalibrated if necessary using appropriate calibration equipment. We also provide long-term warranty and professional technical support to maintain its precision over time.

Q: Does it require a separate power supply?

A: It can be powered directly by the single-phase electrical system it is monitoring, so no separate power supply is usually required, significantly simplifying the wiring process.

Q: What is the maximum current rating of the meter?

A: The maximum current rating varies depending on the model, but typical ratings range from 5A to 100A. Please refer to the specific product specifications for the exact rating of the model you are deploying.
