Hi can someone please endorse or recommend a data logger to monitor and record refrigeration compressor on/off starts and a data logger to measure and record KWH. Thanks
I am at a loss with the support from steca at the mo for a thermal job we are installing the monitoring on.
The TK RW2 has been recommended as we need both online visability of the performance and also a display in the client's reception area.
Has any one used this kit? if so, can you advise...
are there any good products out there for metering a single circuit in a consumer unit ?
meter has to be external to the CU (no space)
circuit is for a shared electric powered septic tank
HI
We have installed about 12 solar edge systems and not one of these systems have outperformed our sma string inverter setups.
Although there are variables which will influence the results we have 2 installs relatively close to each other, same tilt and orientation 16x yingli 250 pandas. The...
I am doing a a research project (and I'm a newbie!) and I need to know if its feasible somehow to disconnect a PV array (and possibly a wind turbine) from the batteries storage should that need needed for safety reasons, to prevent any possibility of damaging the batteries.
Firstly I'd imagine a...
Anyone fitted one of these? Struggled like crazy yesterday it kept telling me system trouble with PSTD how do I cancel this as I have no phone line connected to it, I took the ribbon out and reset it it was ok but after setting the alarm off it then came back on the display.
Then when arming...
Anyone use one of these items?
think it would be a handy bit of tackle to have if not essential
narrowed it down to a Bosch 10.8v,ridgid ca100 and a sure sight one
cheers in advance

Having previously being a big fan of these units I'm slowly turning away from them. Must have put in around 20-30 and have had problems with most in one way or another.
It seems sometimes they freeze (power down and back up to fix)
Sometimes lose signal (needs repairing)
Sometimes go blank...
I hope I am in the correct section with this request.
I have an energy monitor which can receive wireless signals from a transmitter CT around a supply cable and it will also receive wireless signals from plugged in sockets which can read power usage via that socket. By simple calculation it can...
Is it possible to take the PV circuit from the inverter via it's own RCBO in the CU into the incoming breaker thus connecting to the main live tail before the house circuits.
Will the PV then only flow past the breaker if it is required to feed house load and any balance will be exported...
Hi,
I am not an electrician and my knowledge about electricity is quite limited but I believe that this is the right place where to submit my question.
I recently had a solar PV panels installed and I am monitoring solar PV generation and whole house consumption by...
Anyone managed to get an Owl to upload their generation data to pvoutput.org ?
The owl is connected to the AC output from the inverter and giving a reading pretty close to the inverter.
Im using pvbeancounter to upload the data but can't get it to upload as generation.
It only seems to work if...
Hello everyone, this is my first post. I'm not an electrician, but I'm really in need of one, it seems! I have had a 4KW solar array installed to supply my home. It's ground mounted in the field next to our garden so is quite some distance from the house. The installer has put the inverter...
Anyone using one of these to monitor usage or generation ?
Ive got one set up to read our PV generation and its working fine but I can't make any sense of the output it gives when exporting a CSV file to excel.
The data bares no resemblance to the actual readings on the display unit.
For...
I have a monitor in which i want it to have a headphone socket.
does anyone have any idea how i would go about doing this?
I know i could quite easily wire a socket to its original monitor speakers but i wasnt sure if the volume through the headphones would come out as they should do or be...
hi guys
I'm still awaiting my installers return and i have emailed power-one support , but still cannot get a positive answer on this
does the Outdoor version of the PVI3.6 work with the radio module- has anyone installed and got this combo running. the indoor 3.6 works but the outdoor i...
What Technology Is Currently Available To Monitor Solar PV Arrays?
What Technology Is Currently Available To Monitor Domestic Solar Arrays That Isn't Dependent On the Inverter?
Which systems allow monitoring via the web?
Do these systems have annual costs or just "one off" meter installation...
Hi,
I've got a couple of wattson solar monitors to fit for customers. The sensor leads are so short it would only work if the inverter was mounted next to the electricity meter as the sensors plug into the same unit.
How have people got around this? I can see there are 3 metre extension cables...
I have just seen these Mini Handheld Inspection Camera With LCD Monitor Kit | Ebuyer.com
advertised at ebuyer and wondered if anyone had one and knew if they were any good?
they seem similar to the ones sold at Aldi in August but I was not sure of quality, although at 59.99 it can't be too...
