MULTIFUNCTION VOLT/AMMETER

GENERAL
The digital Multifunction Volt/Ammeter series EMM-VA allow monitoring the
main electrical parameters present on a distribution line. The local display of
the electrical parameters is being made through 3 display with red LED,
which grant a good and simultaneous reading of various measures. The
intuitive selection of the measures to visualise, which are signalled by their
corresponding LED, completes a clear and simple front panel, which offer a
lot of useful information.
On top of the instantaneous measuring, these instruments visualise the
maximum peak of the main parameters (maximum peak and maximum
demand or maximum average value).
Multifunction Volt/Ammeter series EMM-VA replace, in an unique device, all
the functions of voltmeters, ammeters and frequency meters, permitting a
great economic saving, due to reducing of dimension and wiring, so as
optimising the instruments management, since one has most of all in one, for
electrical boards, switch-boards and Gen-Sets.

INSTALLATION
WARNING FOR THE USER
Read carefully the instructions/indications contained in this manual before installing and using the instrument.
The instrument described in this manual is intended for use by properly trained staff only.
SAFETY
This instrument has been manufactured and tested in compliance with EN 61010-1 standards. In order to maintain these
conditions and to ensure safe operation, the person must comply with the indications and markings contained in the
manual. When the instrument is received, before beginning installation, check that it's OK And it has not suffered any
damage during transport. When starting installations make sure that the operating voltage and mains voltages are
compatible with the device instructions. The instrument power supply must not be earthen. Only qualified and authorised
personnel must carry out maintenance and/or repair. If there is ever the suspicious that, that there is a lack of safety,
during operation, the instrument must be disconnected and cautions taken against accidental use.
Operation is no longer safe when: The instrument doesn't work. - There is clearly visible damage. - After serious
damage incurred during transport. - After a storage under unfavourable conditions.
WIRING
For a correct use of the device, the wiring diagram contained in the present manual must be respected.
The connections are available on the screw terminal:
- Auxiliary power supply:
The power supply is take from voltage inputs.
There are 3 different auxiliary supplies:
Vn 110V = 100-125V 50-60Hz (option C2)
Vn 230V = 220-240V 50-60Hz (option C1)
Vn 400V = 380-415V 50-60Hz (standard)
In the standard version the voltage is 400V and it’s taken between the phases L2-L3.
In the following table it’s possible to see the measurable voltage depending of the type of power supply.
Power supply terminals Rated voltage Range of measurable voltage
400V 300÷500V phase to phase (175÷290V phase-neutral)
L2-L3 (phase to phase power supply) 230V 175÷290V phase to phase (130÷170V phase-neutral)
110V 85÷145V phase to phase (50÷85V phase-neutral)
230V 300÷500V phase to phase (175÷290V phase-neutral)
L3-N (phase – neutral power supply)
110V 175÷290V phase to phase (100÷170V phase-neutral)
The standard version allows applying the instrument at all the three-phase network 400V with or without neutral supplied.
For example for application on single phase 230V it will need the L3-N / 230V. While for applications in medium voltage
(for example using external voltage transformer 15 / 0.1 kV phase to phase) it will need the version L2-L3 / 110V.
- measuring voltage inputs:
4 terminals are available for the connection to the 3 phase and neutral of the measuring network, the maximum voltage
phase to phase shouldn't be over 500 V rms and it will always be depending on the auxiliary power supply.
In case of a 3 phase system without neutral, or non-distributed neutral, to leave terminal N free.
It’s possible to use external voltage transformer. In fact the transformation rate of the external transducer can be set in
the SETUP of the instrument and the visualisation allows the reading of voltage up to 40,0 kV.
- measuring current inputs:
4 terminals are available for the connection to 3 external CT’s with secondary 5A, it’s possible to use 2 CT’s on 3 wires
system (three phases Aaron wiring). The use of external CT’s is absolutely required.
The transformation rate of the external transducer can be set in the SETUP of the instrument and the visualisation allows
the reading of current up to 9,99 kA.

NOTE: It's a must to respect the EMM-R3-VA EMM-µ3-VA

phase sequence. The connections
between current and voltage phase
inputs must not be inverted (for
example, CT placed on phase L1
must correspond to the I1 input). So
as it is not correct to invert S1 and S2
terminals.
To fix the device at the panel, insert
the two brackets into their ENERGY COUNTERS

corresponding grove holes, at the

side of the enclosure and fix up the
screws. It’s better to put an external
protection with fuses for the voltage
inputs and to use adapted cables for
the working currents and voltages:
section from 0.5 to 2.5 mm2.

- Programming of the transformation rate of the external CT’s

The programming of the CT’s rate considered as the rate between primary and secondary (example: with CT 1000/5, we
must set 200), must be done with the push-button on the front panel.
By pressing the key A again it will appear the message CT (current transformer) and the value of the transformation rate
(set to 1 by the manufacturer). To increase the value press the B button while to reduce the value press the A button with
B already pressed (the variation is unit for unit). To increase the speed up the value setting, it’s necessary to hold
pressed the B or the couple A and B buttons, the variation will happen successively by tens and hundreds. To come back
to increase or to reduce the value on unit by unit way, it’s necessary to release and to press the key again. To confirm the
value set press the A button; in this way the instrument will pass to the successive programming.
If no key is pressed during a 10-second interval of time, the instrument will exit automatically from programming, without
saving the selected value.

- Programming of the transformation ratio of the external voltage transformers
After the precedent programming phase, on E display will appear the inscription VT (voltage transformer) and the value
of the transformation rate of the external TV (set to 1 from the constructor), considered as the rate between primary and
secondary (example with TV 15/0.1 kV the value will be 150).
In the same way at the programming of the CT rate will be possible to set this value. If the external TV are not used the
value to set will be 1. To confirm the value press the A button.

Programming of the average time (seT AVG T’)

After the programming phase previously described, pressing another time the A key, on the E display will appear the
message AVG T’ and the average time settable from 1 to 30 minutes. To increase the value press the B key. To
decrease it, press the A and B keys together (from the condition of B pressed). To confirm it press the A key.
The average time is the time used to calculate the average parameters (avg) and the maximum demand (maxD).

Programming insertion mode

It’s possible to set the following mode of insertion: UN_BAL in a unbalanced three-phase system (default), BALANC in
a balance three phase system and 1PH L3 in a single phase insertion.
In the 1PH mode are displayed only the measures of l3 phase and the relative hour counter; the status of phase rotation
is not displayed.
In the BALANC the current and the power factor of the L3 phase are used for the calculation of L1 and L2 measures.

Programming wiring connection mode

This setting allows to definite the wiring type connection. It’s possible to chose 3 wires or 4 wires. With the 4 wires
connection the neutral parameter are displayed and enabled to use for the digital outputs settings.

Programming of the synchronism type

In this setting for the synchronization type, it’s possible to choose L3 to use the external frequency (on L3 phase) or 50,
60 Hz to use the internal clock.

Activating or cancelling the automatic scrolling

This allows selecting ON for activating or OFF for cancelling the automatic scrolling of the measures visualisation.

Programming of the Password

The instrument is supplied without password. When a password (from 0002 to 9999) is set, using the B (to increase), A e
B (to decrease) and A (to confirm) keys, only who know this value can to enter in the setup. The password, in fact, is
required all the time that someone try to enter in the setup (pressing the A key at least 5 seconds). If the password is
wrong, the message PASS ERR will appear on F display and the instrument go back to the measures visualization. To
input the password, when required by the instrument, at the enter of the setup, use the A, B and C keys as the same way
done previously.

PEAK VALUES AND ENERGY COUNTERS RESET (RESET)

Enter in setup mode, press the B key up to show the message ReseT on the E display, press the A key, on the display
will appear RES ALL NO, press the B key another time, the message commute in RES ALL yes, confirming with

PROGRAMMING OF THE DIGITAL OUTPUT (SET DO1 SET DO2)
This setting is enabled only in the model with digital outputs (-p suffix in the order).
The DO1 and DO2 digital outputs can be used to signal alarms (ALR) using a comparing with two adjustable threshold
for each output. The DO1 modality setting is independent from DO2. In the menu SET DO1 and SET DO2 it’s possible
to program the function of all digital outputs. In these menus are available the following modality: ALR SYS 3PH and
ALR SYS 123. With ALR SYS 3PH the digital output will function as alarm verifying that the three phase value
(average) doesn’t exceed the threshold set (ALR HI and ALR LO). With ALR PH_ 123 the digital output will
function as alarm verifying that the maximum value of the single phases doesn’t exceed the maximum threshold set
(ALR HI) and that the minimum value of the single phases doesn’t come down the minimum threshold set (ALR LO).
The activation of the alarm output will come after some seconds of delay set (ALR DL).

Press repeatedly the B key until the message SET DO1 (DO1 output) or SET DO2 (DO2 output) appears on the E
display. Press the A key to select this setting.
SELECT THE MODALITY OF FUNCTIONING OF THE DIGITAL OUTPUT
To select the functioning mode, using the B key: ALR SYS 3PH, (alarm on three phase value) and ALR PH_ 123
(alarm on minimum and maximum single phase value). Press A key to confirm.
CHOOSE THE PARAMETER TO LINK TO THE DIGITAL OUTPUT
With an alarm modality set, it’s necessary to select the parameters associated to the alarm output; by pressing the B key
until the parameter choice appears on the third part (L3) of E display and the glowing the corresponding led on the D bar.
Press A key to confirm the set.
SET THE HIGH AND THE LOW THRESHOLDS
On E display will appear the message ALR Hi with the high threshold value; confirming with the A key on the same
display will appear the message ALR LO with low threshold value. The B key (to increase), A and B keys together (to
decrease) are used to set the high and the low thresholds values. The range depends by the parameter and it is linked to
the CT and VT ratios. Pressing A key to confirm.
The threshold set is linked with CT and VT ratios, for this reason it’s necessary to make this operation after the
programming of the CT and VT. The end scale value must be confirmed when CT and VT ratios are modified.
The low threshold will be lower than high threshold. If the high threshold is set as OFF the low threshold will have the
range of the high threshold.

SET THE DELAY TO THE DIGITAL OUTPUT ACTIVATION
Now it’s possible to set the delay that will pass between the alarm condition set and the activation of digital output. On E
display will appear ALR DLY and the value expressed in seconds (range 1÷900). The modification of the value is done
in the same way of the threshold set. With the confirmation (A key) the set is complete.
The programming will be referred to the digital output indicated on E display (DO1 o DO2).

With only the HI threshold set, the alarm condition is activated when the parameter set in alarm exceed the threshold.
The digital output is enabled only if the alarm condition remain activated for all delay time set. From the activation of the
digital output, the restore is automatic when the parameter decreases below the hysteresis value.

MEASURES VISUALISATION
The measures reading is visualised on the display E, showing the three phase measures (L1, L2 y L3 respectively) of the
indicated parameter by the C LED. For measuring the phase to phase voltage (V L-L), the three measures are understood
V L1-L2, V L2-L3, V L3-L1 respectively, as indicated on the front plate.
The selection of the parameter to be visualised is made by pressing the key B. It will be indicated by the C LED.
By pressing the key A, the selected parameters will be visualised on display E, as three phase values (average of the
individual phases for voltages and currents) with the corresponding lighting of the LED, placed internally in the key.
With LED L turned off and unbalanced three phase system mode (UNBALANC) are displayed in the following sequence:
- LED VL-N ON: On the display are showed the phase voltages
- LED VL-L ON: On the display are showed the phase to phase voltages
- LED A ON: On the display are showed the phase current
- LED Hz ON: on L3 display is showed the frequency measured on L3 phase, on L1 display will appear the
message PHASE ROTATION with a bright dash that rotate clockwise to indicate that the
phase rotation is correct, or the message ERR if the phase rotation is wrong.
- LED h ON: On the display are showed the phase hour counters HR1, HR2, HR3. The reading of the
meters uses the 6 digits (maximum reading 99999.9) of the E display the measure comes
visualised in such a way that, the display L1 will show the first 3 digits, the display L2 the second
3 digits and the display L3 the identification of the corresponding hour meter (HR1, HR2, HR3).
Each hour counter is activated when the measure of phase corresponding to the selected
parameter exceed the threshold set (see SET HR_). The measure is expressed in hour
(integer) and tenths of hours (decimal).

By pressing the A key the LED L is enabled and the system values are displayed.
Please note that the unit value may be expressed in kilo, when the corresponding LED C are glowing (indicated in the
front plate as k).
The visualised frequency is referred to the line L3.

NOTE regarding the measures

The refresh time of display is lower than 1 second and it corresponds to the processing time of measure according to the used
measuring methodology, allowing a comfortable reading of values, also in presence of unexpected deviation of the measured
parameters.
Should the case be that the instrument is being used in a single-phase line, please bear on mind that the valid values are referred to
phase L3.
Other visualised values shouldn’t be considered, since they correspond to three-phase system.
In case that the indicated measures aren’t reliable or they are absurd, it’s important to check carefully the current and voltage inputs
connection, so as the phase sequence. Check that current and voltage correspond to the same phase (on input L1 it will be connected
phase voltage L1 and the CT will be placed on phase L1), thence terminal S1 of CT will be wired to the relative terminal S1 on the
instrument.
If the secondary of the CT is connected to other instruments also, it can be experienced some measuring problems, according with the
typology of current inputs. Should that be the case, the user should select the option of the instruments type (T) with internal CT’s.
