US FAQ

1. How to reverse CT? How to do the CT debug?

CT Debug function is only available on Hub, when the Grid Meter CT L1 L2 are all connected wrong, the hub system GridCTAdaptiveEnable is enabled, the GriCTReverse will reverse automatically. If the installer mixed the L1 and L2 when connecting the CT, they need be back to the site and change the line(power line and communicate line are the same).

If the system is installed without hub, and when we found the data abnormal, we need to check if the L1 L2 all installed wrong, we can change the setting’GridMeterCTReverse’ to ‘Default’.

without Hub:
