Operation and operating the device
Device
Configure general settings on the KOSTAL Smart Energy
Meter.
Parameter
Explanation
Date and time
Set date and time of device.
Your time zone
Set the time zone so that calen-
dar-based adjustments, such as
changes between summer and winter
time, can be taken into account by
the system.
NTP
If the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter is
permanently connected to the Internet
via a network, we would recommend
activating the “NTP” option. The time
is then automatically obtained from
the Internet via a server. Under the
advanced settings, you can also set
an alternative NTP server.
Set time
The KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter
runs internally with the UTC time
only. This is converted into your local
time zone for display purposes. If
the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter is
not connected to the Internet, or if
automatic time synchronisation is not
to be used, the time can also be set
manually. The current system time
and your current browser time are
displayed on the interface for this pur-
pose. Click on “Set time” to synchro-
nise the two times. Your browser time
is automatically converted into UTC
and set as the KOSTAL Smart Energy
Meter’s system time.
Reset - device restart
Click on “Restart” to restart the
device. This may take several min-
utes. The online interface then has to
be reloaded.
