SUMMARIZE
The MCM2403-V Series provides a compact and robust metering solution, enable reliable monitoring of building electrical loads with a low installation cost- per-point by combining submetering. The unit performs real-time metering, measures energy consumption, multi-tariff time-ofuse (TOU) and monitors power quality of 4 channels circuits for three phase circuits.
Advanced communications options including Modbus via RS485, I/O communications provide for xtensive reliable data exchange. Multiple units can be connected together to meter unlimited number of circuits. The versatility of MCM400 meters are ideal for multi-tenant or departmental metering applications within office towers, condominiums, apartment buildings, shopping centers and other multi-user environments.

INSTALLATION AND START-UP
The manual you hold in your hands contains information and warnings that the user should respect in order to guarantee a proper operation of all the instrument functions and keep its safety conditions. The instrument must not be powered and used until its definitive assembly is on the cabinet’s door.
Whether the instrument is not used as manufacturer’s specifications, the
protection of the instrument can be damaged.
When any protection failure is suspected to exist (for example, it presents
external visible damages),the instrument must be immediately powered off. In
this case contact a qualified service representative.
Installation
Mounting
Instrument is to be mounted on 35mm Din-rail. Keep all connections inside
the cabinet.
Note that with the instrument powered on, the terminals could be dangerous to
touch and cover opening actions or elements removal may allow accessing
dangerous parts. Therefore, the instrument must not be used until this is
completely installed.
Notes:
Auxiliary power:
MCM2403-V meter with AUX power input, if not for a special statement, we
provide the 85- 265VAC/DC power interface for standard products. Please ensure
that the auxiliary power match meter access to prevent damage to the product.

The current input pin need to access the CT, and output signal of CT is
0-100mA or 0~0.333V, CT access have polarity to power direction. Please
confirm your ordering meter types and prepare related CT.
Digital output is passive load, inside relay can drive max
250VAC(3A)/30VDC(3A) load, please make sure connected load do not exceed this
capacity.
Wiring diagram may be changed due to the special requirements of customers’
order, please refer the label on the rear part.
If you are or sure or signs unclear, please contact: Blue Jay Technical Support: tech@cqbluejay.com

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
All installation specification described at the previous chapters named: INSTALLATION AND STARTUP, INSTALLATION MODES and SPECIFICATIONS.
Note that with the instrument powered on, the terminals could be dangerous to touching and cover opening actions or elements removal may allow accessing dangerous parts. This instrument is factory-shipped at proper operation condition.
MAINTENANCE
The MCM2403-V does not require any special maintenance. No adjustment,
maintenance or repairing action should be done when the instrument open and
powered on, should those actions are essential, high-qualified operators must
perform them.
Before any adjustment, replacement, maintenance or repairing operation is
carried out; the instrument must be disconnected from any power supply source.
When any protection failure is suspected to exist, the instrument must be
immediately put out of service. The instrument’s design allows a quick
replacement in case of any failure.
