Hardware FAQs

Do I require sub-standard CT sizes?

The meter comes standard with 6x60A CTs with an internal diameter of 10mm. These CTs are sufficient for most residential situations. In some cases when the customer has a large consumer mains or thick insulation around the consumer mains, a larger CT may be required. Please contact the Clipsal Cortex Support Team to organise this.

Do I require an external antenna?

The meter uses 4G Cellular data to communicate. Each antenna comes standard with a small SMA screw in antenna.

In locations of low mobile reception, it is possible to use a high gain external SMA antenna. Contact the Clipsal Cortex Support Team for more details.
