Important: Please make sure the main power in your facility is OFF before installing. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

5.1. Pasang Alat

Kakuatan Clamp unit has a mounting bracket for installation:

  1. Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark two holes on the wall for screws.
  2. Secure the mounting bracket onto the wall using screws. Install wall plugs if necessary.
  3. Align the hooks of the mounting bracket with the mounting holes on the Power Clamp unit. Fit the hooks into the mounting holes to secure the device.

Figure 5: Connecting the waterproof latch for CT cables.

5.2.2. Connecting CT Clamps

Buka clamp and apply it to the electric meter cable. The arrow on the clamp should face the correct direction of the electricity current flow (P1→P2). If the arrow faces the reverse direction, the reading meter will display 0.

Diagram showing the correct direction for CT clamp installation (P1 to P2)
Figure 6: Correct direction for CT clamp installation (P1 to P2). The arrow on the clamp should point towards the load.

Catetan penting:

  • The phase of the circuit measured by the CT needs to be consistent with the power supply phase of that CT. For example, if the CT of L1 measures the L1 circuit, the power supply for L1 must also be connected to the L1 phase. You cannot clamp the CT of L1 on the L2 phase if the power supply of L1 is still connected to the L1 phase.
  • Pastikeun clamp of L1/L2/L3 corresponds to L1/L2/L3 of the circuit to be tested.
  • Panah dina clamp should face the correct direction of the electricity current flows.

7. Parentah Operasi

Once installed and configured, the EARU PC321-TY energy meter allows you to monitor various electrical parameters through the Smart Life App.

7.1. Pangimeutan sacara real-time

Monitor Current, Active Power, Voltage, and Power Factor in real-time. Daily, weekly, and monthly consumption and production data can be viewed with charts in the Tuya App. This allows you to see how much electricity you are consuming, when, and how much excess energy you are producing back to the grid.

Figure 9: Smart Life App interface displaying total energy consumed, energy produced, and phase-specific data.

7.2. Bidirectional Measurement (WiFi Version Only)

The WiFi version supports bidirectional measurement, allowing you to track both energy consumption ("From Grid" energy) and energy production ("To Grid" energy), which is particularly useful for solar panel installations.

Diagram illustrating bidirectional measurement technology with CT clamps for grid, inverter, and load
Figure 10: Bidirectional Measurement Technology. Clip Clamp1 onto Grid to measure "From Grid" or "To Grid" energy. Clip Clamp2 onto Inverter to measure energy generated by the inverter. Clip Clamp3 onto Load to measure energy consumption by the load.
  • Klip Clamp1 onto Grid: Measures "From Grid" or "To Grid" energy. If the measured current direction is P1→P2, energy is accumulated as "From Grid" energy. If P2→P1, energy is accumulated as "To Grid" energy.
  • Klip Clamp2 onto Inverter: Measures how much energy is generated by the inverter. The clamp direction needs to point to the Inverter.
  • Klip Clamp3 onto Load: Measures how much energy is consumed by the load. The clamp direction needs to point to the Load.

7.3. Kontrol sora

The device supports voice control through intelligent speakers like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing for hands-free operation.

10. Tips pamaké

  • Sarat Kawat Nétral: The meter requires a neutral wire for accurate voltage, current, and power measurements. Ensure your measured circuit includes a neutral wire.
  • CT Clamp arah: Always double-check the direction of the arrow on the CT clamps. It must point towards the load for correct consumption readings. For solar generation, the arrow should point away from the load (towards the grid/inverter).
  • Phase Correspondence: When using multiple CT clamps in a three-phase system, ensure that each clamp (L1, L2, L3) is correctly installed on its corresponding phase wire. Mismatched phases will lead to incorrect data.
  • App Data Visualization: The Smart Life app provides bar graphs for kWh consumption per phase. While current measurements are available, trend lines for current might not be directly supported in the same graphical format as energy consumption.
  • Alerts and Routines: The device can often be integrated with smart home platforms like Alexa for routines. Check the Smart Life app for options to set up alerts based on consumption or lack thereof, and to create routines with other smart devices.
  • Kakuatan sinyal: For ZigBee versions, ensure the device is close enough to the ZigBee gateway for a stable connection. For WiFi, a strong 2.4GHz signal is crucial.
