| |
− | ''Note: ''Before proceeding with the installation, please ensure that your smart meter is compatible with the Modbus P1 Dongle.<h2>Smart Meter Connection</h2>
| |
− | <p>The dongle is connected to the P1 port of the smart meter via a provided P1 cable. This connection allows the dongle to read energy consumption data directly from the smart meter.</p>'''RS-485 Connection'''
| |
− | | |
− | The dongle features RS-485 terminals which are critical for establishing communication with the TeltoCharge system. These terminals are usually labeled as Ground (GND), A+ (positive differential signal), and B- (negative differential signal).
| |
− | | |
− | *To connect the dongle to the TeltoCharge, you'll need to use an appropriate RS-485 cable.
| |
− | *Connect the 'A+' terminal of your cable to the 'A+' port on the TeltoCharge device.
| |
− | *Connect the 'B-' terminal of your cable to the 'B-' port on the TeltoCharge device.
| |
− | ''Note :'' In case of communication errors, swapping the 'A+' and 'B-' connections might resolve the issue.

− | ===General meter settings===
| |
− | According to your smart meter documentation, please enter all the settings into the Teltonika app as shown.
| |
− | #'''Energy meter type''': You need to select the type of smart meter (1-phase/3-phase). Please note that you can use a 1-phase charger even if the meter is 3-phase.
| |
− | #'''RS-485 baud rate''': To ensure optimal performance and compatibility with the P1 smart dongle, the RS-485 baud rate must be configured to 38400.
| |
− | #'''RS-485 parity/stop bit''': Similarly, this information can also be found in the meter settings. If the client is unable to find it, it is advisable to check the smart meter manual.
