The Finder Toolbox NFC app – now available for smart meters

Finder has extended its range of products programmable through the Finder Toolbox NFC app, available on Android and iOS devices. Now, in addition to the 12 Series time switches and 84 Series SMARTimer, you can program and configure the new 7M Series smart energy meters using NFC.

The NFC (Near Field Communication) technology lets you read and program the 7M Series smart meters quickly and flexibly via your smartphone.

Using the NFC app you can customize the meters’ different parameters, for example, choosing what to show on the display, enabling or disabling the 16 resettable counters, and choosing the type of energy and power to be measured and displayed.

You can also adjust the display’s brightness levels and switch off time, set the M-Bus and Modbus parameters, reset the counters, and store and share programs.
