    Installation

    The Fronius Smart Meter TS can be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail. The housing comprises 2 modules according to DIN 43880.

    Protective circuit

    The Fronius Smart Meter TS is a hard-wired device and requires a disconnecting device (circuit breaker, switch or disconnector) and overcurrent‑protection (automatic‑circuit breaker).

    The Fronius Smart Meter TS consumes 10 - 30 mA, the nominal capacity of the disconnecting devices and the overcurrent‑protection is determined by the wire thickness, the mains voltage and the required breaking capacity.

    • Disconnecting devices must be mounted within sight and as close as possible to the Fronius Smart Meter TS; they must also be easy to use.
    • The disconnecting devices must satisfy the requirements of IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-3, as well as all national and local regulations for electrical systems.
    • Use overcurrent‑protection rated for max. 100 A.
    • To monitor more than one mains voltage, use connected‑automatic circuit breakers.
    • The overcurrent‑protection must protect the mains terminals with the designations L1. In rare cases, the neutral conductor has an overcurrent‑protection, which must interrupt both neutral and non-earthed cables concurrently.

    Cabling

    IMPORTANT!
    Always switch off the power supply before connecting the mains voltage inputs to the Fronius Smart Meter TS.

    Recommended thickness of stranded mains voltage cables for the terminals of the measuring input and measuring output:
    • Wire: 1 - 25 mm²
    • Recommended torque: max. 2.8 Nm
    Recommended thickness of stranded wires for data communication terminals:
    • Wire: min. 0.05 mm²
    • Recommended torque: max. 0.5 Nm

    Connect each voltage cable to the terminal strip as shown in the graphics below.

    1 phase, 2 conductors
    1 phase, 2 conductors

    Fitting the protective cover for the terminals

    1

    Insert the protective cover into the guide and press firmly.

    WARNING!

    Danger due to electrical voltage from missing or improperly fitted protective cover.

    An electric shock can be fatal and/or cause serious damage to property.

    Fit the protective cover immediately after installing the live cables.

    Fit the protective cover properly and check that it is secure.

    Connecting the data communication cable to the inverter

    Connect the data communication connections of the Fronius Smart Meter TS to the Modbus interface of the Fronius inverter using a network cable (type CAT5 or higher).

    Several Smart Meters can be installed in the system, see chapter Multi-meter system - Fronius SnapINverter on page (→).

     To avoid interference, the terminating resistor must be used (see chapter Connecting the terminating resistor on page (→)).

    IMPORTANT!

    More information on successful commissioning.

    Note the following information about connecting the data communication cable to the inverter.
    • Use network cables of type CAT5 or higher.
    • Use a mutual twisted cable pair for corresponding data lines (D+/D-, M1+/M1-).
    • If the data lines are close to the mains cabling, use wires or cables that are designed for 300 to 600 V (never less than the operating voltage).
    • Use double-insulated or sheathed data lines when they are close to bare conductors.
    • Use shielded twisted pair cables to avoid faults.
    • Two wires can be installed in each terminal; the wires are twisted first, inserted into the terminal and tightened.
      Note: A loose wire can disable an entire area of the network.
    • The data communication connections of the Fronius Smart Meter TS are electrically isolated from hazardous voltages.

    Mounting the connection cover

    1

    Insert the connection covers into the guides and press firmly.

    IMPORTANT!
    When fitting the connection covers, ensure that the cables are not kinked, pinched, crushed or otherwise damaged.

    e. g. Fronius Primo, Fronius Symo, etc.

    Utility meter
    Measures the measurement data relevant for billing amounts of energy (in particular kilowatt hours of energy sourced from the grid and energy fed into the grid). Based on the relevant billing data, the electricity retailer will invoice the energy sourced from the grid and the purchaser of the surplus energy will reimburse the energy fed into the grid.
