Description
The EMS (Electrical Measurement Supervisor) has advanced analysis functions that allow the measurement of the main electrical
parameters: voltage, current, frequency, power factor, active and reactive power, active and reactive energy. The instrument
allows the measurement and analysis in real time of electrical parameters, also verifying the quality of the energy thanks to THD
measurement. Bidirectional metering of energy allows both production and consumption of energy to be monitored with asingle
device. All information monitored by the analyzer can be transmitted to remote locations through communication interfaces
RS485, Ethernet with the support of numerous protocols including Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP and Profibus DP. Interaction
with the control and supervision systems is possible using inputs and outputs, all programmable. EMS reads and displays the
energy values measured in other energy meters connected to the network. This is achieved thanks to digital inputs, which are
able to acquire the impulses generated by the counters. In this case, EMS acts as adata concentrator. It not only collects
information from the electricity meters but also from the water, gas meters or other. EMS allows acomplete, in-depth analysis of
the network quality thanks to the measurement of the harmonic distortion (20th order) of the voltage and current signals.

Installation
Warning for the user
Read carefully the instructions/indications contained in this manual before installing and using the instrument.
The instrument described in this manual is intended for use by properly trained staff only.
Safety
This device has been manufactured and tested in compliance with EN 61010-2 standards. In order to maintain these conditions
and to ensure safe operation, it need to comply with the indications and markings contained in the manual.
When the device is received, before beginning installation, check that it's O.K. And it has not suffered any damage during
transport.
When starting installation make sure that the operating voltage and mains voltage are compatible with the device instructions.
The device power supply must not be earthed.
Maintenance and/or repair must be carried out only by qualified and authorized personnel. If there is ever the suspicious that,
that there is a lack of safety, during operation, the device must be disconnected and cautions taken against accidental use.
Operation is no longer safe when:
- The instrument doesn't work.
- The measured value are obviously wrong or unreasonable.
- There is visible damage.
- After serious damage incurred during transport.
- After a storage under unfavourable conditions.
During normal operation of the devices, hazardous voltages at its terminals and in particular on the terminals of voltage and
current transformers connected and on the terminals of the digital input and outputs.
The secondary circuits of the voltage and current transformers are capable of generating hazardous voltages and currents when
their primary circuit is powered.
Follow the standard safety precautions when performing any installation or service (such as making sure that the power supply
is disconnected, disconnecting the fuses of the transformer voltages, short-circuiting the secondary of current transformers
etc.).
Don’t use the instrument when failure may cause injury or death, or generate sufficient energy to cause a fire.
The instrument is equipped with a fuse on the power supply type: 5x20mm 1A 250V time lag.

Auxiliary power supply
The instrument can be supplied with a voltage independent by the monitoring line. In this case, the instrument
continues to operate independently by the voltage present on the lines under control.
Alternatively, only for 90÷250Vca/cc version, it is possible to take the power from the network under test, using
the phase and neutral for a 4-wire network, phase to phase in a 3-wire system without neutral or from a VT in a
MT application. In this case when the voltage of the monitored line falls below the minimum limit, the instrument turns off.
The instrument can be supplied in two different configurations of power supply:
Standard Version
90÷250 Vac/dc
Option Version
20÷60 Vac/dc
Voltage Inputs
4 terminals are available for direct connection to 3 phase network with neutral. In case of a 3 phase balanced
system without neutral, or non distributed neutral to leave terminal N free.
3 inputs, range 30 ÷ 400Vac phase to neutral - 52 to 693Vac phase to phase (see Technical Features table for
details); over these values must used the external voltage transformers.
Frequency range: 50/60Hz.
Permanent overvoltage allowed: 480Vac phase to neutral - 830VAC phase-phase.
Overvoltage category: II (permanent installations).
Pollution degree: 2 (normally non-conductive, conductive condensation temporary).
Input resistance: > 1.8MΩ.
Load (Burden) for each voltage input: 0.09VA.
Note: To detect the frequency of the network the terminal VL1 must be always connected.
Current Inputs
Current measurements can be performed by connecting the terminals of Current inputs.
All current inputs are isolated by current transformers with different ranges depending on the model of the
instrument.
They can be interfaced directly to the line to be monitored or to be connected to the output of external CT
with higher range.
The connections to the lines to be monitored are described in chapter “Wiring diagrams”.
With neutral current input option installed, the instrument allows the direct measurement of neutral current in
the same way described for the line inputs.
NOTE: it is essential to observe the correct phase sequence, not invert the connections between the phases of
the current inputs and voltage (i.e. the CT placed on L1 phase must absolutely match at I1 Current and VL1 voltage). Do not
invert the terminals S1 and S2 of the CT because the measurement of power factors, and the powers would no longer be
trusted.
Version 5A
Three-phase current inputs isolated by 3 internal current
transformers.
Nominal current range 50mA÷5A; over these values must
be used the external current transformers.
Load (Burden) for each current input: 0.0009VAmax.
Version 1A
Three-phase current inputs isolated by 3 internal current
transformers.
Nominal current range 10mA÷1A; over these values must
be used the external current transformers.
Load (Burden) for each current input: 0.0009VAmax.
Version TTA50
Three-phase current inputs isolated by 3 external current
transformer (openable).
Nominal current range 500mA÷50A.
Version TTA100
Three-phase current inputs isolated by 3 external current
transformer (openable).
Nominal current range 1A÷100A.
Neutral Current: the nominal current range depends by the version.

In case of connection in a 3 phase network (without
neutral or with neutral not distributed) don’t connect the
N terminal.
WARNING: If the instrument has the TTA on the current
inputs, DON’T connect the S2 terminals to the earth.
This connection with only 2 CT allows to measure
accurately the three-phase currents.
WARNING: If the instrument has the TTA on the current
inputs, DON’T connect the S2 terminals to the earth.
This connection can be used with distributed and equal
loads.
It is possible to measure the current on one phase (using
only one CT). The unmonitored phase currents are
mathematically calculated.
The measurement of neutral current is optional.
WARNING: If the instrument has the TTA on the current
inputs, DON’T connect the S2 terminals to the earth.
In presence of multiple balanced loads in a three-phase
network, the instrument calculates the electrical
parameters checking a single phase current for each load,
allowing to limit the number of CT used.
WARNING: If the instrument has the TTA on the current
inputs, DON’T connect the S2 terminals to the earth.

It is mandatory to connect the current input I1 and
voltage input VL1.
WARNING: If the instrument has the TTA on the current
inputs, DON’T connect the S2 terminals to the earth.
The electrical parameters are measured for individual
loads.
For correct calculation of power and energy, is mandatory
to connect the voltage inputs related to the used current
inputs.
WARNING: If the instrument has the TTA on the current
inputs, DON’T connect the S2 terminals to the earth.
If necessary to apply a multiplier factor “K” to adapt the
measure read, please consider that only one K for
voltages and only one K for currents can be set.
WARNING: If the instrument has the TTA on the current
inputs, DON’T connect the S2 terminals to the earth.
