Is it possible to connect a CT to my MultiPlus? I would like to monitor the total shorepower usage.
The MultiPlus was professionally installed to replaced a broken inverter and does not see the Alde system or 3-way fridge which are on a seperate circuit.
Oh and happy christmas everyone!
This should probably work. But then the display in the Remote Console and in the VRM will also change as you will then have AC loads in front of the Multi. You must then specify in the configuration that you also have loads BEFORE the Multi.
then the Aldesystem and the refrigerator are only supplied with power if you have a mains connection?
Then you switch your fridge from gas to electricity?

Okay, understood.
The Alde & fridge will power from 12v or Shorepower. When shorepower is connected they automatically switch from 12v/gas to 240v.
i am also wondering where on the MuliPlus the connection from the CT goes as there doesnt appear to be a connection.
Thanks
old model is a 3,5mm “Audio” Plug (maybe with little Contact Problems) … newer Models have a
terminal contact
See 8.1 in the Manual

Thank you again Steffen.
I think my model differs considerably to the attachment from you. All physical settings are accessed only by removing the front access panel;
Maybe there is an option to connect a sensore directly to the RaspberryPi that is running the Venus OS?
Thank you.
Maybe an (much) older Model ? that have no kontakt fo a external Meter
You could use a separat Meter … maybe a ET 112 or a cheaper Shelly Meter …
Thank you for doing your best to help out Steffen.
I wil look for an external meter solution and connect to the RaspberryPi.
