Power On Display

Display check will be the first display when meter is powered ON.

Followed by Meter serial number and then firmware version will be displayed.

Display Modes

1) Auto Scroll Mode

By default meter will be in auto-scroll mode. All the display
parameters will be scrolling automatically in this mode. Scrolling
period for energy parameters is 8 sec and 2 sec for all other
parameters.
2) Manual Scroll Mode
Press UP/DOWN Key to Scroll Manually.In this mode all the
parameters can be scrolled through manually. If no key is
pressed for1minute,it will go back to auto scroll mode.

3) Freeze Mode
To see the selected parameter continuously, press up & down
scroll buttons together for 2 seconds.There is no time out period
for freeze mode. Press up or down scroll button to come out of
Freeze mode.The meter will go back to its previous scroll mode
(auto/manual).

Enter the Password by pressing & holding the scroll UP key.

The default password is “0000”. Press and hold scroll UP
to increment the value of the blinking digit. Press and hold
SELECT and scroll UP together to shift to next digit.

Press SELECT key to enter the password. Password Accepted

('PASS ACPTD') or Password Error ('PASS Err') will be displayed.
Only if password is accepted, meter will enter into programming
mode.
The following programming options are available

-Programming CT/PT ratio

-Setting slave Id

-Setting communication port

-Setting Password

Meter will not record energy when it is in programming mode.Time out period of 2 min is
provided for programming mode.

Password Setting

In the Programming Menu, press and hold scroll UP key

to get “Set Pass” and then press SELECT key
Press UP key to change the blinking digit. Press UP and SELECT key
together to shift to next digit. Press SELECT key to save the password
Programming CT/PT ratio

In the Programming Menu, press and hold scroll UP key to get

is displayed to program PT Primary voltage.

-Press and hold SELECT key and scroll UP key together

to shift digit.
-Press scroll UP key to change value.
-Press SELECT key to save changes. “L UPdAtE” will come in
display. Again press select key to store the value.

-Scroll UP and press SELECT key When “Pt SE0001”

is displayed to program PT Secondary voltage.

-In Same process program the PT Secondary value.

·CT PT ratio should not exceed 999999, if exceeded the meter will display “dAtA Err”

·Pulse Rate = 2500 imp / kWh (for CT PT ratio = 1).

·Pulse rate will vary if CT/PT ratio is changed

·When CTPT Ratio is programmed ≥1000, energy in MWh (Mega watt hour) will be displayed as “kkWh”

.Decimal points on the display format will be changed according to the CTPT ratio programmed.

Communication Port Setting *

In the Programming Menu, press and hold scroll UP key

to get “Set Port” and then press SELECT key.

Baud rate selection (1200 to 19200): Use UP key to

select the desired baud rate then press SELECT
key to set. Similarly parity (Even/odd/none)
can be set here.
 Slave ID Setting *

In the Programming Menu, press and hold scroll UP to get “Set SL Id”
and then press SELECT key.
Press UP key to increment the SL Id value. Press together UP and
SELECT key to shift to next digit. Press select key to set the id.
Slave id can be set from 1 to 247.

Communication Interface Details *

Meter is available with and with out RS485 communication.
RS485 interface is available at the terminals. Refer “CONNECTION DETAILS” diagram.
The configuration details to communicate with the meter are given below
Standard RS485 (half duplex)
Baud Rate Selectable (19200, 9600,4800, 2400, 1200).Default is 9600

Parity Selectable (None, Odd, Even ).Default is Even

The RS485 interface uses MODBUS Protocol in RTU mode. Communicating with the
meter involves sending commands to the meter for reading and writing the
Protocol
particular register. The meter can be addressed with specific user defined
meter address (Slave ID) from1 to 247

Memory Map *
Password:
(Function Code 16)
Note: For changing any parameter, first password has to be entered, and then the parameters will
be enabled for writing. Once password is enabled idle time is 2 minutes and then comes out of
programming mode.

OVERALL DIMENSIONS (mm) CONNECTION DETAILS

1.Meter connection should be done exactly as shown in above diagram

2.Make the CT connections on terminals 1-2 (R-Ph), 3-4 (Y-Ph) and 5-6 (B-Ph)
3.Make the PT connections on the terminals 9 (R), 10 (Y), 11 (B) and 12 (N)
4.Connect the Auxiliary Supply (88V TO 300 V AC/DC) to the terminals 13 (-ve)
and 14 (+ve) to power ON the meter. It can be done by shorting one phase
with auxiliary as shown in the above picture.
Note: Pin numbers 7,8 are used for RS 485 communication which is optional.

* Features available only in RS 485 models.

Precautions
