1. Ensure the main power supply is turned off before beginning any wiring.
2. Mount the Smart Energy Meter on a 35MM DIN rail.
3. Connect the Neutral (N) and Live (L) wires from your power source to the corresponding N and L terminals on the meter.
4. Install the two 120A CT clamps around the live wires of the circuits you wish to monitor (Circuit 1 and Circuit 2). Ensure the arrow on the CT clamp points in the direction of current flow (towards the load).
5. Connect the wires from CT Clamp 1 to the "Circuit 1" terminals (1- and 1+) on the meter.
6. Connect the wires from CT Clamp 2 to the "Circuit 2" terminals (2- and 2+) on the meter.
7. Double-check all connections for security and correctness before restoring power.

2. Колдонмону орнотуу жана туташуу

The Smart Energy Meter operates with the Tuya Smart APP or Smart Life APP. Download the appropriate app from your mobile device's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS).

1. Download and install the "Tuya Smart" or "Smart Life" app on your smartphone.
2. Каттоо же өз эсебиңизге кирүү.
3. Мобилдик түзмөгүңүз 2.4 ГГц Wi-Fi тармагына туташып турганын текшериңиз.
4. Power on the Smart Energy Meter. The Wi-Fi indicator on the device should start blinking, indicating it's in pairing mode. If not, refer to the device's reset instructions (usually pressing and holding a button for 5 seconds).
5. Колдонмодо жаңы түзмөк кошуу үчүн "+" сүрөтчөсүн таптаңыз.
6. Select "Electrical" or "Energy Meter" from the device list.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the meter to your Wi-Fi network. This typically involves confirming the blinking indicator and entering your Wi-Fi password.
8. Once connected, the device will appear in your app, and you can begin monitoring.

Операция

1. Monitoring Energy Consumption

The app allows you to monitor real-time energy data and view consumption for individual circuits.

Image: Screenshots of the app displaying "Usage" and "Overview" screens, showing total energy, forward current, and reverse current for Circuit 1 and Circuit 2.

• Open the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app and select your Smart Energy Meter device.
• The main screen will display real-time voltagэлектрондук, ток жана кубаттуулук көрсөткүчтөрү.
• Navigate to the "Usage" or "Overview" section to view detailed consumption data for Circuit 1 and Circuit 2.
• The app can display both "Forward Current" (energy consumed from the grid) and "Reverse Current" (energy generated, e.g., from solar panels).

2. Automation Functions

You can set up automation rules within the app to control other smart devices or receive notifications based on energy parameters.

Image: Screenshots illustrating the "Automation Functions" section in the app, showing options to create scenes and set conditions based on power, current, or voltage баалуулуктар.

• In the app, go to the "Smart" or "Automation" section.
• Create a new "Scene" or "Automation".
• Set conditions based on the Smart Energy Meter's readings, such as:
  • If power exceeds a certain value.
  • If current exceeds a certain value.
  • Эгерде томtage is outside a specified range.
• Define actions to be performed when the condition is met, such as:
  • Send a notification to your phone.
  • Turn on/off another Tuya-compatible smart device.
• Save the automation rule.

3. Data Storage and Viewing

The app stores historical energy consumption data, allowing you to review hourly, daily, monthly, and yearly trends.

Image: Screenshots of the app displaying hourly, daily, and monthly power consumption graphs and statistics.

• Access the "Statistics" or "History" section within the device interface in the app.
• You can switch between hourly, daily, monthly, and yearly views to analyze your energy usage patterns.
• The app retains records for more than one year, providing comprehensive historical data.

Image: Screenshots showing the app's display of device working status, including real-time voltage, current, and power readings when the device is active, and a "Device shutdown" state when inactive.

You can also check the operating status of the device at any time through the application to ensure power safety.

Техникалык тейлөө

• Тазалоо: Аппаратты кургак, жумшак чүпүрөк менен сүртүңүз. Абразивдүү тазалагычтарды же эриткичтерди колдонбоңуз.
• Курчап турган чөйрө: Ensure the device is installed in a dry environment, free from excessive dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.

Проблемаларды чечүү

Түзмөк Wi-Fi'га туташпай жатат:

• Wi-Fi тармагыңыз 2.4 ГГц экенин текшериңиз. Түзмөк 5 ГГц тармактарды колдобойт.
• Check if the Wi-Fi signal strength is adequate at the installation location.
• Колдонмого киргизилген Wi-Fi сырсөзү туура экенин текшериңиз.
• Try resetting the device (refer to app pairing instructions for reset method) and re-attempt pairing.
• Ensure your router is not blocking new device connections or has MAC address filtering enabled.

No data or incorrect readings in the app:

• Confirm that the device is powered on and connected to Wi-Fi (check the indicator light).
• CT clamps are correctly installed around the live wires and the arrows on the clamps are pointing in the correct direction of current flow. Incorrect orientation can lead to negative or zero readings.
• Check all wiring connections to the meter terminals (N, L, Circuit 1, Circuit 2) for looseness or incorrect placement.
• Колдонмонун акыркы версиясына жаңыртылганын текшериңиз.
• If monitoring a 240V circuit with the device powered by 120V, remember that the KWh reading in the app might need to be doubled for accurate total consumption.

Device stopped working after some time:

• Check the power supply to the device.
• Attempt a device reset.
• Эгер көйгөй чечилбесе, кардарларды колдоо менен байланышыңыз.
