Wiring
The SE1000 uses terminal designations for wiring. See
diagram below.
POWERING THE SE1000
The SE1000 is powered from 24 VAC +/- 20 %.
If wiring for communications, dedicated power must be
used to power the SE1000. Several “S” series control-
lers may be powered from the same transformer, provid-
ed that the transformer has sufficient power. (Supertrols
require 5 VA @ 24 VAC.)
Caution: Do not connect to 120 VAC. When multiple
TCS Basys Controls devices are using a single
transformer, the polarity of the power wiring
must be maintained because all TCS devices
are half-wave rectified and have common return
paths.

Programming
The SZ1000 may be programmed through the display
and keypad, or with a PC.
If programming with a PC, the following must be set
through the keypad prior to programming:
• Address (step #2)
• Baud rate (step #3)
For more information on programming through the PC,
consult your TCS software manual.

In the following picture, both Type A and C are shown.
Three pulses are shown, labeled 1, 2, and 3. Notice
how the Type A output closes and opens for each pulse,
where the Type C output simply changes state.
If you have a Type C device (3 terminals KYZ), you will
need to double the multiplier. The SE1000 only counts
the contact closures for the K and Z terminals. Doubling
the multiplier will correct this problem.
PROGRAMMING THE METER CONSTANTS:
CT Value: The value of the CT wired to the meter.
This value is usually provided on the CT or on the util-
ity output meter. This value is only used for and electric
meter.
P/REV: The Pulses per revolution for the meter.
This value is usually provided from the utility company.
CONSTANT: The value of the constant for the meter
is usually provided from the utility company and many
times is located on the electric or gas bill.
CU FT/P: The value for Cubic Feet per pulse. This
only applies to Water, GAS and BTU, and is usually
found on the utility meter itself.
MULT: The multiplier for the meter can be used
to scale the meter output or correct for KYZ meter. The
multiplier is used to convert the pulses to engineering
unit data. For example, if your meter provides one pulse
per 0.01KWH, then a constant of 0.01 is required.
MULTIPLIER:
Each model of power meter is different and has a differ-
ent multiplier. For example, if the meter is a Type A and
reports 1/10 kWh per pulse, set the input multiplier to
0.1. If the meter is a Type C and reports 1/10 kWh per
pulse, set the input multiplier to 0.2.
You must obtain the correct pulse multiplier from the
meter manufacturer prior to configuring the SE1000.
Some power meters have an option to configure the
multiplier. Options often include 1, 0.1, 0.01, kWh per
pulse. The best method to configure the pulse is to
select the smallest multiplier available, considering the
maximum load and pulse rate. To calculate the pulse
rate, use the following formula:
Pulses = KW*3600*multiplier

sumption and demand as follows:

Operation
METER INPUTS
There are four meter inputs available. Each one is setup
for a dry contact and cannot be changed. Each input
(Meter 1, Meter 2, Meter 3 & Meter 4) can be configured
to accept signals representing electrical, BTU, water or
gas usage. The required parameters will be provided
by either the utility company involved or on the current
transducer (CT) used to generate the pulse signal.
METER TYPES
The SE1000 supports various meter types. Selecting a
meter type changes the default values as they are used
to calculate meter consumption and demand for that par-
ticular meter. For each of the four SE1000 meter inputs,
there are five selectable options:
ELEC 1 PH: Electric single phase meter.
ELEC 3 PH: Electric three phase meter.
GAS: Gas meter.
WATER: Water meter
BTU: BTU meter
Utility pulse meters can be one of two different types,
depending on whether they count the leading and trail-
ing edges of the pulse or only the leading edge of the
pulse as a single count. A pulse output can be either a
mechanical relay or solid state device. The pulse output
corresponds to a unit/time of a monitored quantity. The
amount of time between states of a pulse output corre-
sponds to the meter demand and the number of pulses
is proportional to the meter’s consumption.
Below is a diagram depicting two types of utility meter
pulse outputs. Meter Type A counts only the leading
edge as a single pulse and the trailing edge is ignored.
Meter Type C is known as a true KYZ meter and counts
both the leading and trailing edges as a pulse, effectively
doubling the number of pulses as seen by Meter Type
A. The SE1000 measures Type A output only; however,
KYZ functionality can be mimicked by using a “Meter
Multiplier” value of 2.

Checkout & Troubleshooting
CHECKOUT
You may verify the status of each meter input by press-
ing the "Scroll" key and then using the "Increment" and
"Decrement" keys to cycle through the various screens.
1. Verify all wiring prior to powering the controller.
2. Turn power on. The controller will display a momentary
screen with the model and version number, and then the
main monitoring screen.

3. Take note of the current readings for all meters. Since
the SE1000 is used only for monitoring, and if the read-
ings appear to be correct, you are done.
4. If a value does not appear to be correct, scroll through
the meters to view the desired input and verify that a
value (other than 0) is being shown.
5. Go back into programming mode and adjust various
parameters as required to make the value appear cor-
rectly.
6 If a value shown as 0, the SE1000 is not retrieving a
pulse signal. Verify the pulse signal is being generated
at the meter or CT and check the input wiring.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No Display
Check for 24 VAC on terminals “R” and “C”.
Incorrect Monitoring Value Displayed
If any of the meter inputs are showing incorrect values,
verify the programming parameters for that meter. If any of
the meter inputs are showing 0, verify the pulse signal is
working. See checkout for details.
