4. Sikkerhedsoplysninger
- Do Not Exceed Rated Parameters: Sørg for, at voltage and current of the circuit being measured do not exceed the specified ranges (DC 6.5-100V, 0-100A). Exceeding these limits can cause permanent damage to the device and potential safety hazards.
- Korrekt ledningsføring: Always follow the provided wiring diagrams precisely. Incorrect wiring is a common cause of product malfunction or damage. If you are unsure about any connection, consult a qualified electrician or contact KETOTEK support.
- Kun indendørs brug: This device is designed for indoor environments. Do not expose it to moisture, direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or corrosive substances.
- Professionel installation anbefales: For complex electrical systems, professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and proper functionality.
- Undgå fysisk skade: Handle the meter with care. Avoid dropping or subjecting it to strong impacts.
5. Opsætning og installation
5.1 Wiring Diagram for Current Measurement with Shunt
The KT-D138 requires an external 100A/75mV shunt for current measurement. The shunt must be connected in series with the load. The meter's current sensing wires connect to the small terminals of the shunt, while the main power circuit connects to the large terminals.
Image 4: Standard wiring diagram for the KT-D138 meter, showing connections to a power supply, 100A/75mV shunt, and a load. Note the distinction between large and small terminals on the shunt.
Vigtig: Distinguish between the large and small terminals of the shunt. The current sensor wires from the meter connect to the small terminals. The main power supply and load connect to the large terminals.
5.2 Solar System Wiring Instructions
The KT-D138 can be integrated into a solar power system to monitor various aspects. Below are examples of how to connect the instrument at different positions according to your specific monitoring needs.
Image 5: Comprehensive solar system wiring diagram illustrating four potential connection points for the KT-D138 meter to monitor different aspects of the system.
- Position 1: Monitoring Charging Performance. When the battery is discharging, the meter displays 0. Energy accumulation stops. Energy starts accumulating when the battery is charging again.
- Position 2: Monitoring Discharging Performance. When the battery is charging, the meter displays 0. Energy accumulation stops. Energy starts accumulating when the battery is discharging.
- Position 3: Monitoring Solar System Power Generation. Connect the meter to measure the total power generated by the solar panels before the charge controller.
- Position 4: Measuring Load Usage. Connect the meter to measure the power and energy consumed by an inverter or other loads connected to the battery.
6. Betjeningsvejledning
The KT-D138 features a single button on the right side of the display for various functions.
Image 6: The KT-D138 meter highlighting the multi-function button for energy reset, backlight control, and voltage alarm settings.
- Energy Reset: Press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the energy value (Wh) flashes. Release the button, then press it again briefly to reset the energy accumulation to zero.
- Baggrundslys TIL/FRA: A short press of the button will toggle the backlight on or off.
- Sæt Voltage Alarm Threshold: For at indstille voltage alarm, press and hold the button until the voltage value (V) flashes. Release the button. Each short press will increase the alarm threshold. Once the desired threshold is set, wait for 5 seconds without pressing any button, and the setting will be saved automatically. When the measured voltage falls below this threshold, the display will flash to indicate a low voltage alarm.
7. Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| No display/Meter not powering on | Incorrect wiring; Input voltage outside range; Loose connections. | Verify all wiring connections against the diagram. Ensure input voltage is within DC 6.5-100V. Check for secure connections. |
| Current reading is 0 or incorrect | Shunt not connected correctly; Current sensing wires reversed or loose; No load. | Ensure the shunt is correctly installed in series with the load. Verify current sensing wires are connected to the small terminals of the shunt and are not reversed. Confirm a load is drawing current. |
| Voltage alarm flashing unexpectedly | Voltage below set threshold; Threshold set too high. | Tjek den faktiske voltage of the circuit. Adjust the voltage alarm threshold to an appropriate level (refer to Operating Instructions). |
| Energy (Wh) reading is incorrect or not accumulating | Incorrect wiring for energy accumulation; Meter reset. | Review wiring, especially for solar applications (refer to Solar System Wiring Instructions). Ensure the energy value was not accidentally reset. |
| Baggrundslys virker ikke | Backlight turned off; Internal fault. | Press the button briefly to toggle the backlight. If it still doesn't work, contact support. |
8. Vedligeholdelse
- Rensning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the meter's display and casing. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler.
- Opbevaring: When not in use for extended periods, store the meter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspektion: Periodically inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure all connections remain secure.
