4. Pangropéa

The Acrel ACR10R meter is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. However, regular checks can ensure optimal performance and longevity:

  • Inspeksi Visual: Periodically inspect the meter and its connections for any signs of damage, loose wiring, or corrosion.
  • beberesih: Keep the meter's display and casing clean using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Kaayaan Lingkungan: Pastikeun lingkungan operasi tetep aya dina kisaran suhu sareng kalembaban anu ditangtukeun pikeun nyegah karusakan.
  • Pembaruan firmware: Pariksa produsén urang websitus wéb pikeun apdet firmware anu sayogi anu tiasa ningkatkeun kinerja atanapi nambihan fitur énggal.

Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance or inspection to prevent electric shock.

5. Cara ngungkulan

If you encounter issues with your Acrel ACR10R meter, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Henteu aya tampilan/kakuatan: Check the power supply connections (AC85~265V or DC100~350V). Ensure the power source is active.
  • Bacaan anu salah:
    • Verify that the CTs are correctly installed and oriented according to the current flow direction (refer to Section 2.2).
    • Check all wiring connections for looseness or incorrect placement.
    • Ensure the meter's parameters (e.g., CT ratio) are correctly configured via the keypad HMI.
  • Communication Issues (RS485):
    • Check the RS485 wiring for correct polarity (A and B connections).
    • Verify the communication settings (baud rate, address) on both the meter and the connected device (e.g., inverter).
    • Ensure the RS485 cable is properly connected to the RJ45 port if using Sermatec hybrid inverters.
  • Meter Not Responding: Try power cycling the device (turn off, wait a few seconds, then turn on). If the issue persists, contact technical support.

Any fault or damage caused by misoperation or disregard of the instructions in this manual is beyond Acrel's warranty coverage.
