GEM /DB channel question

[bgrubb1]

I have wired some solar into my Pool pump circuit. It's not on a circuit where I can call it net or main since it normally draws more power than the solar provides. It "appears" that in my current config. when the solar produces, when I hit the point that the circuit goes negative (solar producing more than pump consuming) the DB reading goes to near zero, then starts showing the negative power as positive consumption. Have tried experimenting with DB and Gem channel settings and no joy. Is there a way to configure a "normal" channel to display its negative reading ??

If it has a chance of going negative it has to be set to NET. It'll show up normally when not producing more then it's consuming.

Needs to be a NET channel to show negative. Normal channels don't take the polarized counter into consideration.

so both the GEM and DB set to net ?

Yeah, try that.

That worked, Thank You Ben
