About Smart Meter and Power Limit Function
Q: How do I activate the output power limit function?
A: In an EM system, this function can be implemented as follows:
1. Ensure the Smart Meter is connected and communicating properly.
2. Turn on the export power limit function and set the max output power to grid in the app.
Note: Even if the output power limit is set to 0W, there may still be a deviation of max 100W when
exporting to the grid.
Q: Why is power still being exporting to the grid after I set the power limit to 0W?
A: The export limit can be 0W in theory, but this may deviate by around 50-100W in an EM system.
Q: Can I replace the Smart Meter supplied with the EM system with another brand of
meter or change some of the settings in the Smart Meter?
A: No. The inverter and Smart Meter use a dedicated communications protocol that is not
supported by other brands of meter. Additionally, manually changing the meter's settings could
cause communication failure.
Q: What is the maximum current allowed through the CT on the Smart Meter?
A: The max current for the CT is 120A.

Protection
Q: Will the inverter's warranty of the inverter still be valid if, for some particular reason,
we cannot completely follow the instructions in the user manual for installation or
operation?
A: Normally we would still provide technical support for problems caused by failing to adhere to
the instructions in the user manual. However we cannot guarantee to provide replacements or
accept returns. Therefore, if there are particular reasons why you cannot fully comply with the
instructions, please contact the after-sales team for advice in the first instance.
