1.1 Description of the device
The three-phase energy meters WM3-6, WM3M6 (MID certified) are intended for energy
measurements in three-phase electrical power network and can be used in residential, industrial and
utility applications. Meters measure energy directly in 4-wire networks according to the principle of fast
sampling of voltage and current signals. A built-in microprocessor calculates active/reactive/apparent
power and energy, current, voltage, frequency, power factor, power angle and frequency (for each
phase and total sum) from the measured signals. This smart meter can also perform basic harmonic
analysis (THDU, THDI). This enables quick overview of harmonic distortion either coming from a network
or generated by the load. Microprocessor also controls LCD, LED, IR communication and optional
extensions.
Connecting terminals can be sealed up against non-authorised access with protection covers. They are
built to be fastened according to EN 60715 standard.

1.2 Three-phase energy meters application
Energy meters have built-in optical (IR) communication port on the side as a standard. Special WM-USB
adapter (size 1 DIN module) can easily be attached to it. It can be used for direct communication with a
PC to change settings of devices without any communication installed.
Energy meters could also be connected with iHUB-L1 or Bicom by optical communication (IR).
Optional the meter can be equipped with the following communications:
RS485 serial communication with the MODBUS protocol,
M-BUS serial communication,
Communication modules enables data transmission and thus connection of the measuring places into
the network for the control and management with energy.
Instead of communication modules, there can be also tariff input (option) or built-in pulse output
(option).
Tariff input provides measurement of two tariffs for selected energy registers.
Pulse output is sending data to the devices for checking and monitoring consumed energy.
On the housing there are only two terminals, thus only one functional extension is possible (serial
communication, tariff input, pulse output).
