SDM630MCT-2L
DIN Rail Smart Energy Meter for Single and Three
Phase Electrical Systems
1Introduction
This document provides operating, maintenance and installation
instructions. This unit measures and displays the characteristics of
Single Phase Two Wire (1P2W) and 2 x (C1 & C2) Three Phase Four
Wire (3P4W) networks. The measuring parameters include Voltage
(V), Current (A), Frequency (Hz), Power (kW/KVA/KVAr), Power
Factor (PF), Imported, Exported and Total Energy (kWh/kVArh). The
unit also measures Maximum Demand Current and Power, this is
measured over preset periods of up to 60 minutes.
This particular model accommodates 100mA Current Transformers
and can be congured to work with a wide range of CTs. It also
comes with a complete comms capability with built in RS485
Modbus RTU outputs, conguration is password protected.
This unit can be powered from a separate auxiliary supply (AC or
DC). Alternatively, it can be powered from the monitored supply by
linking the voltage reference and neutral reference in to terminals 5
& 6 (Please refer to wiring diagram).
1.1 Unit Characteristics

Secondary CT (CT2):
Hold the button to set
the CT secondary option:
0.1A.(Not Congurable)
The CT Rate is the primary rate/ratio of the CT.
For Example: 200/100mA Current Transformers , so the CT Rate
would be 0200 and the CT2 would be 0.1A.
4.6 PT
The PT option sets the Secondary Voltage (PT2 100-500V) of the
VoltageTransformer (PT) that may be connected to the meter.
Use the and
buttons to select the menu
option. The screen will show
the current setting.The
default value is 400V.
Secondary PT Setting:
Hold the button to set
the PT secondary option:
100-500V.
Set the PT Ratio Value:
Hold the button to
enter the PT Ratio setting
screen. The range is from
0001 to 9999.
The PT Rate is the PT Primary divided by the PT Secondary. For
Example: Voltage Transformer - 11000÷110=100, so the PT Rate
would be 0100 and the PT2 would be 110.
