7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

Problemi comuni e soluzioni:

• Il misuratore non si accende: Controllare i collegamenti di alimentazione e assicurarsi che il voltage is within the specified range (AC50-320V).
• Nessun dato visualizzato: Verify wiring is correct. For WiFi versions, ensure a stable WiFi connection.
• Problemi di connessione WiFi: Ensure your router is 2.4Ghz (5Ghz is not supported). Confirm Bluetooth and location permissions are enabled on your phone during pairing.
• Alarms but no power cut-off (GR2P/GR2PW): These models are designed to only prompt alarms and do not have a relay to cut off power.
• GR2PWS not automatically resetting after protection: The built-in magnetic retention relay requires a reset period (delay protection) upon initial power-on or after a power cut-off. Ensure the meter has fully started and the measurement interface is displayed before expecting automatic recovery. The recovery time for undervoltage/sopravoltage can be set in the device settings (1-99 minutes).
• Letture imprecise: Ensure the meter is correctly wired and that the current is unidirectional. This meter is not suitable for bidirectional current applications like solar grid-tie systems.
• Display always on/off: Check display brightness and standby time settings in the app or device menu.
• Cannot set dual-zone tariff: Ensure you are using a WiFi version (GR2PW/GR2PWS) as the basic GR2P model does not support this. Check the app's price mode settings for options to enter prices for different tariffs.
• Meter not compatible with 110V systems: The meter supports AC50-320V, so it is compatible with 110V/120V systems. For 2-phase 110V + neutral systems, it should work if connected as a single-phase load across two phases, but verify local electrical standards and consult a professional.
