Smappee Infinity – Installation manual – English
4. Planning and site preparation
The first step is to determine the complete monitoring solution. This consists of listing all the loads
that need to be measured, their properties, and the required hardware (Smappee and others).
The checklist provided helps you to determine all necessary technical information for the next steps
and also to collect all the necessary hardware.
General architecture - what is to be monitored
Single or multiple metering locations: Where are the fuse boxes or appliances to be
monitored? (Location inside the building, distances between them, etc.).
Total load (main service): Yes/no?
Specific appliances? (e.g. HVAC, Heat pump, EV, Solar, etc.). Are they fused separately or are
they powered by a wall socket & plug?
Circuits (main sockets, lighting area, etc.).
Digital pulse inputs to be measured? (e.g. Gas or Water meter, sensors, etc.).
Any appliance to be controlled? Directly or with a breaker (single or 3-phase).
Details
Topology: Verify the mains voltage – single phase (1P), three-phase 3P+N (3*400) or 3P
(3*230) .
How are the total load, solar, circuits, and/or appliances fused?
Phases of each measured load (circuits and appliances): Single-phase, three-phase, 3P+N
(3*400V) or 3P (3*230V), voltage, frequency, power, amps.
Cross-sectional area or diameter of the wiring.
How will a stable internet connection be provided to the energy monitor: Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or
3G/4G cellular network?
