☝️ External equipment must be installed according to the installation manual provided by the manufacturer. The Modbus baud rate must be configured to 9.6 kbps

 

When installing Zaptec Sense to e-meters without HAN/P1,  an e- meter with meter transformers is used, which comes programmed and connected.
