Meter settings
Meter type
-
You can not edit the meter type once the meter is created.
-
You can only add one meter per type for each system and subsystem.
Meter designation
Give your meter a distinct name. Also refer to our Naming guideline.
Transformer factor
-
The default value is
1. This means the displayed value on your meter corresponds exactly to the value you are measuring with this meter. -
Enter a different transformer factor if the value displayed on your meter must be converted again to obtain the actual measured value. The factor will be displayed below the meter reading in the meter overview.
-
We do not recommend changing the transformer factor for an existing meter, as all historic values will be recalculated.
Example
If the meter displays 80,00 kWh, but the actual energy is 80,000.00 kWh, enter the transformer factor 1000.
Installation date
-
Commissioning date of the system’s data logger/data source.
Note: Virtual systems
For virtual systems, enter the commissioning date of the “oldest” part of your virtual system.
Meter reading at installation
-
The reading of your meter at the installation date. Usually, this is 0.
Measured value assigned
-
By default, the Manual meter reading input is selected. This means the meter reading does not change until you manually
-
Select a different option from the dropdown if you want your meter to count up automatically. The dropdown lists all terms you already created for this system that have the unit
kWh. Select the one that delivers the value for the meter. If you have not created a suitable term yet, see Terms.
Example
For a solar energy meter, the assigned measured value is usually the term for the actual generated energy E_Z_EVU.
