Introduction
This document provides operating, maintenance and installation instructions. The unit measures
and displays the characteristics of single phase two wires (1p2w), three phase three wires(3p3w,)
and three phase four wires(3p4w) supplies, including voltage, frequency, current, power ,active
and reactive energy, imported or exported. Energy is measured in terms of kWh, kVArh.
Maximum demand current can be measured over preset periods of up to 60minutes. In order to
measure energy, the unit requires voltage and current inputs in addition to the supply required to
power the product. The requisite current input(s) are obtained via current transformers(CT).
This meter can be configured to work with a wide range of CTs, giving the unit a wide range of
operation. Built-in interfaces provides pulse and RS485 Modbus RTU outputs. Configuration is
password protected.
This unit can be powered from a separate auxiliary (AC or DC) supply. Alternatively it can be
powered from the monitored supply, where appropriate.
Unit Characteristics
The Unit can measure and display:
Line voltage and THD% (total harmonic distortion) of all phases
Line Frequency
Currents, Current demands and current THD% of all phases
Power, maximum power demand and power factor
Active energy imported and exported
Reactive energy imported and exported
The unit has password-protected set-up screens for:
Changing password
Supply system selection 1p2w, 3p3w,3p4w
Demand Interval time
Reset for demand measurements
Pulse output duration
Two pulse output indicates real-time energy measurement. An RS485 output allows remote
monitoring from another display or a computer.
Current Transformer Primary Current
The unit can be configured to operate with CT ratio between primary current and secondary
current. The secondary CT has two options: 1A/5A
RS485 Serial –Modbus RTU
This uses an RS485 serial port with Modbus RTU protocol to provide a means of remotely
monitoring and controlling the Unit
Set-up screens are provided for setting up the RS485 port.

Pulse output
This provides two pulse outputs that clock up measured active and reactive energy. The constant
for active energy is 3200imp/kWh(Terminals 11&12). The pulse width for pulse 1(Terminals 9&10)
can be set from the set-up menu.
Start Up Screens
