## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the connections for live & neutral**
A: Your 1 is the incomer 3 is out to your main board and 456 is your neutral it doesn’t help it’s in German hope this helped anymore question just ask 👌

**Q: I seem to have no connector manual with this ? Can you help ?**
A: I can't remember but you can find a lot of answers in internet for this model.  It was very easy to plug and working absolutely fine. Making a bit o noise but bearable. I've compared with electronic one and so far consumption looks the same on both. I would recommend.

**Q: Can this be installed outdoors? Is it water proof?**
A: It has no stated IP rating. It is industrial and built as a normal electricity meter so can live in a small box outside. I live in Cyprus and we do have rain but mine is just sitting below some solar panels just protected by direct rain from above. It should be fine if water cannot hit it directly, but remember water and electricity don't mix. Hope this helps.
