Installation
3.1 Mounting the Meter
General This section describes different ways to mount the C11 meter. For some methods
of mounting, additional accessories are needed. For further information about ac-
cessories, refer to Main Catalog (2CMC481001C0201).
DIN-rail mounted The C11 meters are intended to be mounted on a standard (DIN 50022) DIN-rail.
If this method of mounting is used no extra accessories are needed and the meter
is fastened on the rail by snapping the DIN-rail lock onto the rail.
Wall mounted The recommended way to mount the meter on a wall is to mount a separate DIN-
rail on the wall and then mount the meter on the rail.
Standard DIN-rail The following picture shows a standard DIN-rail.

Installation
3.2 Environmental Considerations
Ingress protection
To comply with the protection requirements the product must be mounted in pro-
tection class IP 51 enclosures, or better, according to IEC60259.
Mechanical environment
In accordance with the Measuring Directive (2014/32/EU), the product complies
with M1, which means that it can be operated in “...locations with vibration and
shocks of low significance, e.g. for instruments fastened to light suporting struc-
tures subject to negligible vibrations and shocks transmitted from local blasting
or pile-driving activities, slamming doors, etc.”
Electromagnetic environment
In accordance with the Measuring Directive (2014/32/EU), the product complies
with E2, which means that it can be operated “...in locations with electro magnetic
disturbances corresponding to those likely to be found in other industrial build-
ings.”
Climatic environment
In order to work properly the product should not be operated outside the specified
temperature range of -25°C - +70°C.
In order to work properly the product should not exposed to humidity exceeding
the specified 75% yearly average, 95% on 30 days/year.

Installation
3.3 Installing the Meter
EWarning – Electrical equipment should only be installed, accessed, serviced and
maintained by qualified electrical personnel.
Working with high voltage is potentially lethal. Persons subjected to high voltage may
suffer cardiac arrest, burn injuries, or other severe injuries. To avoid such injuries,
make sure to disconnect the power supply before you start the installation.
EWarning – For safety reasons it is recommended that the equipment is installed in a
way that makes it impossible to reach or touch the terminal blocks by accident.
The best way to make a safe installation is to install the unit in an enclosure. Further,
access to the equipment should be limited through use of lock and key, controlled by
qualified electrical personnel.
EWarning – The meters must always be protected by fuses on the incoming side.
In order to allow for maintenance of transformer rated meters, it is recommended that
there should be a short circuiting device installed near the meter.
Installation
requirements
To comply with the protection requirements the meter must be mounted in protec-
tion class IP 51 enclosures, or better, according to IEC 60259.
Meters with wireless communication should not be installed closer than 20 cm
from people.
Install the meter
Follow the steps in the table below to install the meter:
Verify the
installation
The C11 meter has a red LED next to the push button on the front of the meter that
flashes proportionally to the active energy. The LED has a fixed pulse frequency
of 1000 imp/kWh and can be used to test and verify the installation. If the LED
flashes when the mains power is turned on, the installation was successful.
Step Action
1 Switch off the mains power.
2 Place the meter on the DIN-rail and make sure it snaps onto it.
3 Strip the cable insulation to the length that is indicated on the meter.
4 Connect the cables according to the wiring diagram that is printed on the me-
ter and tighten the screws (0,8 Nm).
5 Install the circuit protection (max 40 A).
6 Connect the output to an external power supply (max 5-40 V). See the wiring
diagram printed on the meter.
7 Turn on the mains power.

User Interface
4.1 Display and buttons
Display The display consists of both icons, digits and letters. The measured value/menu
options are displayed with large letters vertically on the display, as well as hori-
zontally on the lower part of the display. The measured unit is displayed vertically
on the right side of the display, and the status icons are displayed at the upper part
of the display, see figure below.
Status Icons The status icons are shown in the table below.
Button The meter has one push button which is located below the display. A short press
on the button (less than 1 sec) will step through the menu/submenu. A long press
(more than 1 sec) followed by a release of the button will open the set menu or
select an item in the menu.
Icon Indication Comment
Active error When a error has been deteced,
the icon will be lit on the display.
When no error has been detected,
the icon will be turned off.
Metering in progress. When a load is connected to the
meter, the icon will flash to indicate
metering. When no load is con-
nected, the icon will be turned off.
