5. Installation & Wiring

5.1 Installation Requirements

  1. Mounting: Install vertically on a 35 mm DIN rail.

  2. Clearance: Allow ≥25 mm clearance above/below for ventilation.

  3. Environment: Avoid direct sunlight, dust, moisture, and corrosive gases.

  4. ESD Protection: Discharge static before handling (PCB is ESD-sensitive).

5.2 Terminal Wiring

5.2.1 Input Terminals (Voltage & Current)

TerminalDescription
L1/L2/L33-phase voltage input (Vn)
NNeutral (for 4-wire systems)
CT1/CT2/CT3Current transformer inputs (1 A / 5 A)

5.2.2 Output Terminals

TerminalDescription
+OUT / –OUTAnalog output (4–20 mA or 0–10 V)

5.2.3 Power Supply

TerminalDescription
+24V / GND24 VDC supply
L / N110–230 VAC supply

5.2.4 Configuration Jumpers

  • CT Ratio: Jumper select 1 A or 5 A secondary.

  • Output Mode: Jumper select 4–20 mA or 0–10 V.

  • Coupling: Jumper select 1W3 / 2W / 2W4 / 3W3.

5.3 Wiring Notes

  • CT Wiring: Never open-circuit CT terminals (risk of high voltage).

  • Voltage Input: Use fused voltage inputs (gG-type fuse, 2 A).

  • Cable Size: 1.5 mm² (all circuits).

  • Terminal Torque: Tighten to 0.8–1.0 Nm.

  • Shielding: Use shielded cable for analog output; ground shield at one end only.


6. Operation & Configuration

6.1 Front Panel Indicators

  • PWR: Solid green = power supply OK.

  • RUN: Flashing green (1 Hz) = normal operation.

  • FAULT: Solid red = input overload / wiring error / config fault.

6.2 Configuration Steps

  1. CT Ratio Setting: Set jumper to 1 A or 5 A to match CT secondary.

  2. Output Mode: Set jumper to 4–20 mA (default) or 0–10 V.

  3. Coupling Mode: Set jumper to match system type (1W3/2W/2W4/3W3).

  4. Range Selection: Set DIP switches for kW/MW range (e.g., 0–1000 kW).

  5. Power On: Apply supply; PWR LED ON; RUN LED flashing.

  6. Calibration (Factory Default): Pre-calibrated; no user adjustment required.

6.3 Normal Operation

  • Measurement: Transducer computes true active power from voltage and current inputs.

  • Output Signal: Proportional analog output (4 mA = 0 kW, 20 mA = full scale).

  • Fault Condition: FAULT LED ON; output holds last valid value or goes to 0 mA.


7. Safety Precautions

  • High Voltage Hazard: Only qualified electricians may install/service. Disconnect all power before wiring.

  • CT Hazard: Never open-circuit CT terminals (lethal high voltage risk).

  • Overload: Do not exceed 120% of rated input voltage/current.

  • Isolation: Do not remove or modify internal isolation barriers.

  • Environmental Limits: Operate only within –20 °C to +60 °C.

  • No Unauthorised Modification: Do not open the enclosure; voids warranty.


8. Maintenance

8.1 Regular Maintenance (Every 12 Months)

  1. Visual Inspection: Check for loose terminals, damaged wiring, or discolouration.

  2. Cleaning: Wipe front panel with dry cloth; remove dust from vents.

  3. Terminal Tightness: Retorque to 0.8–1.0 Nm.

  4. Function Test: Inject known voltage/current; verify output accuracy.

  5. Insulation Resistance: Measure ≥1 MΩ @ 500 VDC between input/output and ground.


9. Troubleshooting

Fault PhenomenonPossible CauseSolution
PWR LED OffNo supply / wrong voltageCheck wiring; verify supply voltage.
FAULT LED OnInput overload / CT open / wiring errorReduce input; check CT wiring; verify connections.
No OutputOutput wiring error / overloadCheck output wiring; reduce load resistance.
