Hallo, Ik tracht een VMB8IN-20 module te configureren om bepaalde toestellen aan te sturen wanneer mijn zonnepanelen injecteren op het net. Dit is momenteel de setting: ![image](https://forum.velbus.eu/uploads/default/original/2X/b/bc80337c29d17a5acbc05480db251335f40ffcfd.png) Ik heb een relais die geactiveerd moet worden boven een bepaald niveau van injectie via Momentary (follow). ![image](https://forum.velbus.eu/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3ba24909932cd2ee2558fa96d0c67846a47b096e.png) Maar met deze setting blijkt dit niet te werken. Ik gebruik de laaste versie van VelbusLink(11.6.3.) De FIN7M.38.8.400.0112 heeft een productie datum van na week 19 2022 en is als volgt geschakeld: ![image](https://forum.velbus.eu/uploads/default/original/2X/6/602e89ff022935761abb938d15a0c97153d5a94b.jpeg) Als ik een alarm configureer voor **counter channel** Injectie (CH2) (\>1kw) dan zie ik een **Alarm channel** Consumption (CH1) en niet Injectie . Ook bij VMB8IN CH1 en CH2 zijn de alarm settings omgewisseld: ![image](https://forum.velbus.eu/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b6b05109c2d1ee86615e6e3664578c7c7a507461.png) Hoop dat iemand me kan helpen. Mvg Wouter ---

Hi Sorry for the reply in English. A. Do you see pulses in the LEDs of the VMB8IN to confirm that the VMB8IN is working well with the Finder ? B. If you use the Energy Wizard do you get the results you’d expect there? C. Change the Edge Light colour change to the follow action you want with the relay. If those steps don’t work, we can look deeper into the issue. Good luck. Stuart * * * Hoi Sorry voor het antwoord in het Engels. A. Ziet u pulsen in de LED’s van de VMB8IN om te bevestigen dat de VMB8IN goed werkt met de Finder? B. Krijgt u de resultaten die u verwacht als u de Energy Wizard gebruikt? C. Wijzig de Edge Light-kleurverandering naar de gewenste vervolgactie met het relais. Als deze stappen niet werken, kunnen we dieper op het probleem ingaan. Veel succes. Stuart ---

Hello Stuart, Thanks for the quick reply. The wizard apparently only works with the VMB7IN not the new VMB8IN. ![image](https://forum.velbus.eu/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8cbb498fdf428b59be5100a65cd440335b203444.jpeg) The leds for CH1 (Consumption) and CH2 (Injection) are on. The led to the left is blinking. Not sure what these leds should do. Is there a manual for the VMB8IN? Thanks Wouter ---

No problem, I just happened to check in > [@woutcop](#): > > The wizard apparently only works with the VMB7IN not the new VMB8IN Can you post a support request for this at [https://help.velbus.eu](https://help.velbus.eu) > [@woutcop](#): > > The leds for CH1 (Consumption) and CH2 (Injection) are on Are they “on” all the time or do they flash? They should flash in time with the consumption By the fact that both LEDs are on, I’d gamble that they aren’t wired up correctly. IE, you can’t be importing at the same time as exporting. I really should wire up the one I have here, purely so that I know first hand if the Finder unit should be fed with 0V or +Vcc. [![](https://www.velbus.eu/web/image/48817/connectionDiagramFull.jpg?access_token=0207e6f7-5d56-4a2b-a240-cbd5bdcad67b) ](https://www.velbus.eu/web/image/48817/connectionDiagramFull.jpg?access_token=0207e6f7-5d56-4a2b-a240-cbd5bdcad67b) This diagram suggests that you’ve connected it up correctly. Does the Finder unit need to be configured? I seem to remember reading that somewhere. But saying that I think… You’ve got your 0V reference and pulse returns wired in backwards. > [@woutcop](#): > > De FIN7M.38.8.400.0112 heeft een productie datum van na week 19 2022 en is als volgt geschakeld: > > ![image](https://forum.velbus.eu/uploads/default/original/2X/6/602e89ff022935761abb938d15a0c97153d5a94b.jpeg) Try swapping them over.

I restarted/resetted/disconnected/switched the + en - the module. The Consumption channel is blinking now but the injection channel stays on constantly even when I disconnect it from the Finder. Start wondering if this module is working correctly. I will contact the help website from velbus. ---

> [@woutcop](#): > > The Consumption channel is blinking now Excellent 🎉 “The counting can commence” > [@woutcop](#): > > but the injection channel stays on constantly even when I disconnect it from the Finder What happens if you move green & white to **3 in**? Is it the input channel that is broken? Or is it that the Finder unit holds the input active until it senses that the current is flowing in the opposite direction? Can I suggest you wait until tomorrow when the sun is shining brightly? 🌞 ---

Thanks for the suggestion. Don’t expect to much sun this week 🙂 ---

Problem is solved. I configured the counters wrong. I did this ![image](https://forum.velbus.eu/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3438038baa6860dafc47e50b14659e06f7d0fbf2.png) instead of this ![image](https://forum.velbus.eu/uploads/default/original/2X/f/f51f4438ba4a3451462711f5e8f727b0492f62eb.png) I also found an interesting doc describing how these led should behave on the different modules: [https://cdn.velleman.eu/downloads/velbus/00\_general/led\_behavior\_of\_vmbxxx-20\_series\_din-rail\_modules.pdf](https://cdn.velleman.eu/downloads/velbus/00_general/led_behavior_of_vmbxxx-20_series_din-rail_modules.pdf) When an alarm is activated on a counter the led of the counter input stays on
