Hi All,
I have one of the new RFXPower meters.

- where can I found the documentation, unit is not sending any more..available documentation is for the old one.

- The Clamp-On is to big and it's not fitting in my electricity meter cupboard what can I do to let it fit.

Enver,

The RFXMeter / RFXPwr documentation is on the download page http://www.rfxcom.com/documents/RFXMeter.pdf

If you have the possibility to extend the wire and bring a loop into an empty standard fuse box next to the current one you have plenty space for the CT? (and the RFXMeter)

I have put the meter on the main IN cable...I'm receiving data but have the feeling that the data is not correct...it's to high

The CT must be clamped on 1 wire (not the whole cable)!!
It must be the hot - phase wire where you have to put the CT on.

Bend the Brown wire from the earth-leak switch to the main breaker a bit towards you and clamp the CT around that wire.

perfect.

If you can turn the CT 90degrees it will probably fit in the box, isn't it?

Start RFreceiver,
Remove the power from the RFXMeter,
Connect the power adaptor again.

The RFXMeter will then transmit an init string with the interval time, firmware version and counter value.

Did you find the reason why the counter was not updated?

yes....the brown cable on the picture is not used...
I had to use the other one at the right side.

I put the CT in the lower part just above the meter.
