Product overview

Built for residential, utility and industrial single phase installations, the bi-directional energy measurement makes it well suited to solar PV monitoring. This lets the inverter or energy management system track both consumption from the grid and any surplus export.

The RS485 port supports Modbus RTU at baud rates of 1200 to 9600 bps, with configurable parity, stop bits and Modbus address (1 to 247). Pulse output 1 is user-configurable for total, import or export kWh or kVArh. Pulse output 2 is fixed at total kWh at 1000 imp/kWh.

Inverter compatibility

The SDM120CTM 100mA is used as the export/import meter for a wide range of solar inverter brands including Solis, Growatt, Deye, SolaX, Sungrow, FOXESS, Hypontech, Kstar and others. Always confirm the correct CT output rating (100mA) and Modbus version required by your inverter before ordering.

Applications

• Solar PV export and self-consumption monitoring
• Zero export control with compatible hybrid inverters
• Residential and small commercial energy metering
• DIN rail panel installations

Installation and safety notes

This meter operates at mains voltage and must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with IET Wiring Regulations. Match the CT rating and Modbus version to your inverter's requirements. The unit is rated for indoor use only (IP51).
