1 Safety Precautions – Symbols
– Check the specified nominal voltage on the serial plate
before placing the instrument into service.
– Observe the maximum voltage of the pulse output.
– Make sure the connector cables are not damaged, and
that they are voltage-free while wiring the instrument.
– If it can be assumed that safe operation is no longer pos-
sible, the instrument must be immediately removed from
service (disconnect input voltage!). Safe operation can no
longer be relied upon if the instrument demonstrates visi-
ble damage.
The device may not be placed back into operation until
troubleshooting and repair have been performed, and
calibration and dielectric strength have been tested and
approved at our factory or an authorized service center.
– Voltage conducting parts may be exposed if the cover is
opened.
If balancing, maintenance or repair of a live open instru-
ment is required, work may only be carried out by trained
personnel who are familiar with the dangers involved.
Capacitors inside the instrument may be dangerously
charged, even after it has been disconnected from all
power sources.
– After the instrument has once again been closed subse-
quent to repair or maintenance work, insulation must be
tested with high-voltage in accordance with the values
specified in the technical data.

The test LED is located between the LCD and the serial
plate. The higher the measured power value, the higher the
blink rate.
If all currents are lower than the starting current, the LED
lights up permanently.

4.4 Key Operation
Querying parameter values CT, VT and S∅
Apart from the LCD test, the menu key located between
LCD and serial plate serves to query current paramter val-
ues and, in the case of active energy meters with special
features, to change parameters (provided that the enable
key has been activated before). The sequence can be seen
from the figure on the right.
If no key is pressed for 2 minutes, the display returns auto-
matically to the standard setting.
Parameters can be changed in the following instruments:
Parameters CT, VT for U138x with feature Q1,
parameters S∅for U128x/U138x with feature V2/V4
a) Enabling parameter modifications
The enable key serves to enable or disable paramter
changes. It is located below the terminal cover and is acti-
vated with a pointed object (e. g. ballpen).
Pressing the key for the first time activates operating mode
„Change parameters“ (key off):
Renewed activation disables operating mode „Change
parameters“ (key on):
If the key is not activated for approx. 2 minutes, operating
mode „Change parameters“ is automatically aborted and
blocked.
The key is displayed again:
