Setup and Installation
1. Physical Installation
The PC311 module is designed for 35MM DIN RAIL installation. Ensure the device is installed in a location with stable 2.4G WiFi coverage and within the specified ambient temperature and humidity ranges.

2. Wiring Diagram
Proper wiring is crucial for accurate measurement. Refer to the diagrams below for connecting the CT clamps based on your monitoring needs (consumption from grid, generation from solar, or load monitoring).
Image: Comprehensive wiring diagram illustrating how to connect CT clamps for measuring energy from the grid, from an inverter (solar generation), and from a specific load.
Important: The direction of the CT clamp matters for accurate readings. For measuring energy generation, the arrow on the clamp should face the inverter. For measuring consumption from the grid, install the CT on the leads coming from your mains.

3. App Connection (Tuya/Smart Life)
The device connects to your home's 2.4G WiFi network. 5G WiFi is not supported. Follow these steps to pair the device with the Tuya or Smart Life app:
- Download and install the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app from your mobile app store.
- Register or log in to your account.
- Power on the PC311 module. The LED indicator should blink, indicating pairing mode.
- Open the app, tap "Add Device" or the "+" icon.
- The app should automatically discover the device (PC311_TY). Tap "Add".
- Enter your 2.4G WiFi network name and password when prompted.
- Wait for the device to connect. Once connected, you can rename it and start monitoring.

- Total Forward Energy: Displays the total energy consumed.
- Total Generation: Displays the total energy generated (e.g., from solar panels).
- Circuit 1 & Circuit 2: Provides detailed readings for each connected CT clamp, including current, active power, and power factor.
- Historical Data: Navigate through the app to view energy consumption records by hour, day, month, or year. The app stores data for over one year.

Automation and Scene Creation
Leverage the "Tap-to-Run" and automation features within the Tuya/Smart Life app to integrate the energy meter with other smart devices. For example, you can set up automations based on energy consumption thresholds.
Maintenance
The EARUMZDQ PC311 energy meter requires minimal maintenance. Ensure the device is kept within its specified operating environment conditions:
- Temperature: -10°C to 55°C
- Humidity: ≤90% non-condensing
Regularly check the physical connections of the CT clamps and power input to ensure they are secure. Keep the device clean and free from dust and moisture.
