FAQ
Q1: What CT should I use for SDM120CT‑M (40mA)?
A: Must use CT with 40mA secondary output. CT primary range configurable 1‑9999A via meter setting.
Q2: Is this meter for zero‑export solar inverter?
A: Yes, bi‑directional import/export measurement & Modbus RTU output support zero‑export control for single‑phase PV systems.
Q3: What communication protocol does SDM120CT‑M use?
A: RS485 Modbus‑RTU; baud rate 1200‑9600bps, address 1‑247, max 1000m cable distance.
Q4: What is the difference between SDM120CT‑M / SDM120CT‑MB / SDM120CT‑P?
A: SDM120CT‑M=Modbus+2 pulse; SDM120CT‑MB=M‑Bus+2 pulse; SDM120CT‑P=2 pulse output only, no serial communication.
Q5: Does it support local display?
A: Yes, LCD screen with push‑button scroll to view voltage, current, power, import/export kWh, comms parameters.
Q6: Voltage supply requirement?
A: Powered by measuring voltage 230V AC, no separate auxiliary power supply needed.
