6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your PZEM-015 monitor, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the display and casing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
• Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your PZEM-015 monitor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Display/Power:
  • Check all power connections.
  • Ensure the battery voltage is within the operating range (0-200V).
  • If battery voltage is below 8V, verify the external power supply (3.3-12V) is correctly connected and functioning.
• Incorrect Readings:
  • Verify the wiring against the diagram in Section 4.1, especially the shunt placement on the negative side.
  • Ensure the shunt is correctly rated for your current (100A for this model).
  • Check for loose connections or damaged wires.
• Energy/Time Not Resetting:
  • Ensure you are performing a long press (approximately 3 seconds) on the button to initiate the reset.
• Display Flickering:
  • Check for stable power supply to the monitor.
  • Ensure the operating environment is within specified temperature and humidity ranges.
