Hi,
I have a Fox H3AC3 and parallely some smaller inverters. According to the manual, I can link a second smart meter to the H3AC3, which I did. I am not sure, if that does anything, though. When I have production from the smaller inverters, the consumption shown on the H3AC3 gets negative. Apparently, it doesn't take the power from the second smart meter into account. How can I change that? Are there settings to be made in the Fox inverter?

If you have fitted a second meter you do have to enable it in Settings, Feature, Meter2/CT2 and you set it to the CT or meter type - have you done that ?
From experience I know the Fox app does get confused when showing loads if you have a second meter, for H3 the daily loads statistics will be correct (the H1 sadly is not).
If you download the Energy Stats app there are a couple of option switches you can use that ignore the load power reading and instead it calculates it from the other sources which should help.

Yes seems strange, it doesn’t appear on the menu structure drawing but it definitely does support it - it may only be accessible to an installer - do you still have contact with yours ?, alternatively contact your local Fox support and ask them if they can enable the second meter for you.calu wrote: Thu Aug 29, 2024 11:48 am I checked, but when I go to settings -> features I have only meter, I don't have an option "Meter 2", which I could change.
