How do I set up a Perific meter?
Step-by-step instructions for connecting a Perific (formerly Enegic) external meter to Monta, so it can report meter values to a Load Management group.
Monta's Dynamic Load Management (previously Load Balancing) system requires the charge points on a site to report how many amps are being drawn from the site's available current. A Perific external meter handles this reporting.
For a comprehensive technical explanation of Load Management at Monta, download the Load Management technical white paper.
Step 1 — Open the settings in the Perific app
Open the Perific app and tap the Settings menu.
Step 2 — Select Licenses
Tap Register new license. You can find the license QR code on a flyer included in the box with your Perific meter. If there is no flyer, contact Perific to request a license.
Step 3 — Select Reporter
- Tap Reporter at the top of the screen.
- Set Select type of reporter to Monta Control.
- Enter a Name for the reporter.
- Enter the Monta installation ID — this is the identifier of your Load Management group. Find it in Monta Hub under Load Management > open the group > right side of the screen.
- Under Select Perific Monitor Device, choose your device from the drop-down menu.
- Tap Save.
The Perific meter is now connected to your Load Management group and ready to report to Monta.
