6.6.6. Mains meter connection

There is a separate installation and configuration manual for the 3-phase sensor, which contains the technical data and the connection overview. These instructions can be downloaded from the FENECON website at:
www.docs.fenecon.de/de/Installationsanleitungen/FEMS_KDK_2PU_CT_Installationsanleitung.pdf
can be downloaded. The connection to the RS485 interface is described in chapter 6.6.4 Communication connection.
The meter included in the scope of delivery is for the grid connection point. It is a KDK 2PU CT measuring transformer meter. The transformers are not included in the scope of delivery.

Please note
The secondary current of the transformer must be 1 A or 5 A.

The meter supplied is intended for the grid connection point. However, in order to display production correctly in online monitoring, all generators must also be measured. This is the only way to ensure that the actual Consumption can be calculated correctly. Certain PV inverters can communicate directly with the FEMS hardware and therefore do not require a separate meter for generation measurement. These inverters can be found on the FENECON website at: fenecon.de/fenecon-fems/ in the section "Integration of electrical generators, Consumption, PV inverters and meters".

7. Initial commissioning

7.1. Commissioning through service support

Residual risks:

Incorrect operation
Incorrect operation can lead to serious injury or death.
Before switching on the individual components, observe the specifications and instructions in the operating/assembly instructions of the respective manufacturer.

Incorrect operation can lead to material damage.
Before switching on the energy storage system, make sure that

  • all protective devices are fitted,

  • there are no persons in the danger zone.

Commissioning is carried out with the support of our service team. Please arrange an appointment for remote commissioning in advance with your contact person at FENECON.

For support, please contact:

FENECON GmbH
Brunnwiesenstraße 4
94469 Deggendorf
+49 (0) 9903 6280 0
service@fenecon.de

During commissioning by the service support, a commissioning report must be completed and signed jointly by the electrician and the end customer. It must then be sent to FENECON by e-mail, fax or post within 30 days of installation.

This IBN protocol is a prerequisite for the validity of the warranty. No warranty claims can be made without this protocol.

7.2. Requirements for commissioning

7.2.1. Checking the installation, connections and cabling

Check the system as follows before initial commissioning:

  • All components (distances, environment, mounting) are installed correctly.

  • All internal wiring is complete and properly connected.

  • All external supply lines (power supply, communication cable) are properly connected.

  • All connected loads are matched to the system and the necessary settings have been made.

  • All necessary tests of the energy storage system were carried out in accordance with standards.

7.2.2. Internet connection

First of all, a permanent Internet connection must be established to ensure access to FEMS online monitoring. This can basically be ensured by two different options. By connecting with a LAN cable or with an LTE router (see 6.6.4 Communication connection).

8. FEMS - FENECON Energiemanagementsystem

8.1. Technical documentation - FEMS

The technical documentation of FEMS must be observed; this can also be found on the FENECON website at: www.docs.fenecon.de.

1. internet connection
A permanent Internet connection for the FEMS is recommended and is necessary for commissioning. In principle, offline operation is also possible. In this case, however, the following functions cannot be used:
Remote commissioning, system updates, installation of new FEMS apps, transmission of measurement data to FENECON servers for remote access, use of online monitoring via the FENECON portal access (e.g. for on-the-go via smartphone), maintenance access for FENECON service employees, use of FEMS apps with third-party services via the Internet (e.g. Time-of-use tariffs).

2. network configuration
In the standard configuration, FEMS obtains the IP address via a DHCP server (e.g. FritzBox). The network configuration can also be adjusted in Online Monitoring under Settings à Network configuration. You can find more information here: https://docs.fenecon.de/de/_/latest/fems/ui/settings.html#_netzwerkkonfiguration.

3. system update The system is regularly updated as part of software updates. These updates can be installed via the Settings à FEMS System update tab.

8.2. FEMS-Online-Monitoring

The FEMS online monitoring is used to visualize all energy flows in the system. The energy monitor shows live data on grid consumption or grid feed-in, PV production, charging/discharging of the battery storage system and electricity consumption. Other widgets show the percentage of self-sufficiency and self-consumption.
