The Fronius Smart Meter TS is a bidirectional electricity meter which optimises self-consumption and records the household's load curve. In conjunction with the Fronius inverter, Fronius Datamanager and Fronius data interface, the Fronius Smart Meter TS provides a clear overview of a user's own power consumption.
The meter measures the power flow to the loads or to the grid and forwards the information via the Modbus RTU/RS485 communication to the Fronius inverter and the Fronius Datamanager.
Observe and follow safety instructions!
Failure to observe the safety instructions will result in damage to personnel and equipment.
Switch off the power supply before establishing a mains connection.
Observe the safety instructions.

The Fronius Smart Meter TS is a fixed piece of equipment for public grids of TN/TT systems and records self-consumption and/or individual loads in the system. The Fronius Smart Meter TS is required for systems with a battery storage system and/or a Fronius Ohmpilot installed for communication between the individual components. The installation is carried out on an indoor DIN rail with corresponding back-up fuses, which are adapted to the cable cross-sections of the copper conductors and to the maximum current of the meter. The Fronius Smart Meter TS must only be operated in accordance with the specifications in the enclosed documentation and in accordance with local laws, regulations, provisions, standards and within the limits of technical possibilities. Any use of the product other than as described in the intended use shall be deemed to be not in accordance with the intended purpose. The available documentation forms part of the product and must be read, observed and kept in good condition. It must also be accessible at all times at the place of installation. The available documents do not replace regional, state, provincial or national laws, or regulations or standards that apply to the installation, electrical safety and use of the product. Fronius International GmbH assumes no responsibility for compliance with or non-compliance with these laws or regulations in connection with the installation of the product.
Interventions on the Fronius Smart Meter TS, e.g. modifications and alterations, are not permitted. Unauthorised interventions will void the warranty and warranty claims and, as a rule, void the user's authority to operate the equipment. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage resulting from such use.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse:
The Fronius Smart Meter TS is not suitable for the supply of life-sustaining medical devices or for the billing of subtenants.

The Fronius Smart Meter TS can be installed in the following positions in the system:
Positioning at the feed-in point:
Positioning at consumption point:
For use as a secondary meter to measure individual loads and producers, see chapter Multi-meter system - Fronius SnapINverter on page (→).
The Fronius Smart Meter TS can be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail. The housing comprises 2 modules according to DIN 43880.
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.
IMPORTANT!
Always switch off the power supply before connecting the mains voltage inputs to the Fronius Smart Meter TS.
Connect each voltage cable to the terminal strip as shown in the graphics below.
Insert the protective cover into the guide and press firmly.
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.
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 (→)).

1 | 1 | |||
1 | 2 | |||
1 | 3 |
If several Fronius Smart Meter TS are installed, a separate address must be set for each (see Setting the address on the Fronius Smart Meter TS on page (→)). The primary meter is always assigned address 1. All the other meters are numbered consecutively with the address range from 2 to 14. Different Fronius Smart Meter power categories can be used in combination.
IMPORTANT!
Max. Use 3 secondary meters in the system. To avoid interference, it is recommended to install the terminating resistors according to chapter Connecting the terminating resistor on page (→).
The inputs M0 and M1 can be selected for this purpose. A maximum of 4 Modbus participants can be connected to the Modbus terminal on inputs M0 and M1.
