EMM-µD3h DIGITAL MULTIFUNCTION METER FOR ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS
EMM-µD3h-p
EMM-µD3h-485
GENERAL
The digital multimeters series EMM-µD3h allow monitoring the main electrical parameters
present on adistribution line. The local display of the various electrical parameters is carried
out by 3displays with red LED, granting agood and simultaneous reading of various values. A
simple front panel completes the intuitive selection of several electrical parameters, in order to
provide full information.On top of the instantaneous measures, these instruments display the
maximums (peak of the main parameters and maximum demand or average maximum
value).The multifunction meters EMM-µD3h replace in aunique device, all the functions of
voltmeters, ammeters, energy meters, cosphimeters, wattmeter’s, varmeters, hour meters
and frequency meters. This gives agreat economic saving, by reducing space and time,
optimising also the purchase management of instruments, since one model meets most demanding requirements for local
measuring in electricalboards,switch-boards,MCC’s, Gen-sets,etc.

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 instrument has been manufactured and tested in compliance with EN 61010-1 (IEC1010) standards. In order to maintain these
conditions and to ensure safe operation, the person must comply with the indications and markings contained in the manual. When
the instrument is received, before beginning installation, check that it's OK and it has not suffered any damage during transport. When
starting installations make sure that the operating voltage and mains voltages are compatible with the device instructions. The
instrument power supply must not be earthen. Only qualified and authorised personnel must carry out maintenance and/or repair. If
there is ever the suspicious that, that there is a lack of safety, during operation, the instrument must be disconnected and cautions
taken against accidental use.
Operation is no longer safe when: The instrument doesn't work. - There is clearly visible damage. - After serious damage
occurred during transport. - After a storage under unfavourable conditions.
The fixing to the DIN rail is granted by the rear spring fixing device.
It’s better to put an external protection with fuses for the voltage inputs and to use adapted cables for the working currents and
voltages: section from 0.5 to 4 mm2.
WIRING
For a correct use of the device, the wiring diagram contained in the
present manual must be respected. The connections are available
on the screw terminals:
- Power supply:
The auxiliary power supply is taken from the terminals aux1 and
aux2.
The rated supply voltages can be:
standard: Vn 230V ± 15% 50-60Hz
under request: Vn 110V ± 15% 50-60Hz
under request Vn 400V ± 15% 50-60Hz
- measuring voltage inputs:
4 terminals are available for wiring to the 3 phase and neutral of the
measuring network, the maximum voltage phase to phase shouldn't
be over 500V rms and 290V between phase and neutral.
In case of a 3-phase system without neutral or non-distributed
neutral, leave terminal N free.
For single phase use, wiring should be done between terminals L1
and N and bridge L2 and L3 phases to neutral N.
- measuring current inputs:
6 terminals are available for wiring to 3 external CT’s with secondary
5A, it’s possible to use 2 CT’s on 3 wires lines with (Aron three-
phase wiring) and the use of 1 CT in case of single phase system
(input IL1). External CT’s must always be used.
Don't connect CT's secondary to the earth.
The instrument’s SETUP menu allows to set the transformation rate
of the external CT and it’s possible to visualise readings of current
up 999 A. Should the case be that calculated current is higher than
the maximum value, the display will show the over range condition.
The maximum setting of the transformation ratio is 2000/5=400
NOTE: For a correct measuring of the power factor and energies and powers it's a must to respect the phase sequence. The
connections between current and voltage phase inputs must not be inverted (for example, CT placed on phase L1 must
correspond to the I1 input). So as it is not correct to invert S1 and S2 of the CT’s terminals.

Programming the transformation ratio of the external CT’s ( )
The programming of the CT’s ratio is considered as the rate between the primary and the secondary (i.e.: with CT 1000/5,
we must set 200 as value). The setting will be done with the push-button on the front panel.
Some seconds after giving the auxiliary supply to the instrument (during the switching on, all LED and displays will flash
alternatively to the firmware indication), by pressing the Akey, the display Cwill show the message .
Then press Aagain to reach the programming menu and the Cdisplay will show the message and the value of
the transformation ratio (set as 1 by the manufacturer) will appear at the third display. Press the Bkey to increase the
value or press simultaneously the Akey to decrease the value (the variation is performed unit per unit). To speed up the
operation, keep on pressing the button Aand B, and the variation will appear successively by tens and hundreds,
releasing and pressing the key again it will return to increase or decrease the value at unit per unit. Press the Akey to
confirm, the instrument will pass to successive programming menu. Shouldn’t any key be pressed during a 10 seconds
interval of time, the instrument will exit automatically from programming without saving the set values.
Programming of the transformation ratio of the external voltage transformers
After the precedent programming phase, on Edisplay will appear the inscription (voltage transformer) and the value of
the transformation rate of the external TV (set to 1 from the constructor), considered as the rate between primary and
secondary (example with TV 15/0.1 kV the value will be 150).
In the same way at the programming of the CT rate will be possible to set this value. If the external TV are not used the
value to set will be 1. To confirm the value press the Abutton.

MEASURES VISUALISATION
According with the glowing status of the GLED the reading of the measures is visualised on display C, either the three
measures of the phase values or the three phase measured values (average of the individual phases for voltage,
current, power factor and the sum of the individual phases for powers).
With the GLED off, the instrument will visualise the three measures of phase (L1, L2 and L3 respectively) of the
parameter indicated by the light of the LED D. for the phase to phase measures (V L-L), the three measures are
understood V L1-L2, V L2-L3, V L3-L1 respectively.
By pressing the Bkey, you may select the parameters to visualise, which will be indicated by the LED D.
The visualisation of the frequency page shows also the status of the digital output (if present).
By pressing the Akey with the GLED on, the instrument will visualise the selected parameters in three phase values
(average of the individual phases for voltage, current, power factor and the sum of the individual phases for powers).
In this mode, each page will show the measures of 3 parameters, indicated by the LED D, excluding the frequency pages,
the energy meters and the hour meters.
The visualising of the energy meters is only possible with the GLED on.
If the hour meter is available, is visualised: as hour meter per phase, activated by the three phase current, after the
visualisation of energies in those types fitted with energy meters.
By pressing the same key again, the instrument returns to the visualisation of the phase parameters.
Should the single phase system wiring been made, the visualisation of the values will be shown in the same way as per
the three phase measures, indicating three parameters on each page. In the present case the LED Gwill never glow,
since it isn’t a three phase system.
VISUALISATION OF ENERGY AND HOUR METERS
The visualisation of the energy meters are shown with the lighting of the LED kW + …h indicating the active energy values
(kWh), whilst the lighting of the LED kVAr + …h are indicating the reactive energy values (kVArh).
The lighting of the LED h alone, identifies the reading of the hour meter.
The reading of the meters uses the 9 digits (maximum reading 99999999.9) of the display C: the measure comes
visualised in such a way that, the display L1 will show the first 3 digits, the display L2 the second 3 digits and the display
L3 the last 3.
For example if: L1=000, L2=028, L3=53.2, the reading is equal to 00002853.2 kWh.
In the case of the hour meter, it uses only 6 digits (maximum reading 99999,9) of the display C: the measure comes
visualised in such a way that, the display L2 will show the first 3 digits, and the display L3 the last 3 digits .
For example if: L2=008, L3=53.2 the reading is equal to 00853.2 h.
NOTE ON THE VISUALISATION OF THE PARAMETERS
The visualisation of a capacitive power factor value comes represented by a –sign before the first digit of the display
(example of reading: indicates a capacitive power factor of )
The visualisation of a negative active power (inverted connection of the CT’s or cogeneration presence) comes
represented by a –sign before the first digit of the display.

VISUALISATION PEAK VALUES (MAXIMUM) INSTANTANEUS AND AVERAGE.
By pressing the Aand Bkeys simultaneously the instrument reaches the visualisation of the peak value (maximum): the
visualised measures selectable by Bkey, they will start flashing alternatively with the indication of the type of the maximum
value.
The maximum memorised values are of two types: the maximum instantaneous values, memorise the maximum reached
value of the measured parameter, during at least 1 second, the indicated value will flash alternatively with the message
(peak); the average values memorise the average value reached, during the last , of the measured
parameter, the value will flash alternatively with the message (AVeraGe).
The integration for the calculation of the values is synchronised at every switch on of the instrument
The maximum values, which may be selected with the Bkey are the following:

NOTE relative to measures.
The refresh time of the displays is below 1 second, with a comfortable reading of the measures, even in presence of sudden variations
of the measured parameters.
In case that the indicated measures aren’t reliable or they are absurd, it’s important to check carefully the current and voltage inputs
connection, so as the phase sequence. Check that current and voltage correspond to the same phase (on input L1 it will be connected
phase voltage L1 and the CT will be placed on phase L1), thence terminal S1 of CT will be wired to the relative terminal S1 on the
instrument.
