1. RECEIPT OF THE INSTRUMENT & START UP
Check that the configuration of the instrument (as indicated on the case bottom label) corresponds to your order.
Mount the instrument on a DIN rail.
Connect the power supply (see the wiring diagrams). The tension LED lights up.
The instrument now starts to measure, it has a standard configuration (except specific indications on your order).
The instrument can now be programmed, preferably before connecting the measure signals.
Now connect all the signals: see the wiring diagrams.
If not specified, the communication parameters for the PC software or the digital output are the following:
slave number = 250 speed = 9600 bauds without parity 1 stop bit
2. ORGANISATION OF THE FRONT FACE
IN CASE OF PROBLEM …
If the instrument does not light up: Check the presence of power supply (even for a self-powered instrument).
If the instrument does not measure: Check the presence of the measure signals.
Check the programming.
If the green LED is blinking: The instrument is detecting an error, connect the console or the PC software for
the analysis.

6. USE OF THE « CUT OFF »
The « cut off » is a programming option of the instrument which allows setting the display to 0 separately for low U
and I values (see the chapter « programming of the CUT OFF »).
Once the menu is validated the instrument will measure the values on its inputs and enforce the display to 0 for any
values lower than the « cut off » programmed in % of the caliber (1 or 5A, 100VL-N / 175VL-L or 330VL-N / 600VL-L).
7. LIST OF THE ERRORS

1. WIRING RECOMMENDATIONS
The input network ( UL1, IL1) may carry significant disturbances, and they may disturb the complete processing
chain. In order to avoid this the disturbance immunity can be improved efficiently by respecting a few simple rules:
Do not connect too close: the input network and the instrument power supply wires.
Do not connect too close: the input network and all the instrument output wires (pulse outputs, relay outputs ...)
Use for all the outputs of the instrument shielded cables connected to the GND on both ends.
In order to avoid any influence of the current take
up on the voltage measure, connect the CT’s
before the VT’s.
