Adding KOSTAL inverters in the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter
All KOSTAL inverters in a multiple-inverter connection that are to be measured and controlled using the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter must be set up in the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter.
Do this by performing the following steps:
- Call up online interface of KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter Calling up user interface
- Go to Inverter > Devices (manage the inverters used).
