SUMMARIZE
BJ-DCEM meter is an advanced solution for multi-channel energy metering in DC system. It can visually display voltage, current, power data and energy cumulative data. With a panel keypad, it can set voltage display parameters and the hall CT parameters.
With RS485 communication interface, BJ-DCEM can be connected to the monitoring center. It is a high-performance automatic meter suitable for industrial and mining enterprises, civil construction, building automation.
These series can measure the power parameters in power grid:
Current | 0.000 ~ 500A (Depends on the Hall CT) |
---|---|
Voltage | 0.0 ~ 1000V |
Active power | 0.000 ~ 9999KW |
Energy | 0.00Wh ~ 999999999Wh |

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:
DCEM meter with AUX power input, if not for a special statement, we provide the DC 20-60V power interface for standard products. Please ensure that the auxiliary power match meter access to prevent damage to the product.
Connection terminal and drawing for BJ-DCEM
Notes:
The current input pin need to access the Hall CT, and output signal of CT is
0-4VDC, Hall CT need +/-15V AUX power, on the meter pin 16, 17 provide the
AUX.
Wiring diagram may be changed due to the special requirements of customers order, please refer the label on the rear part.

PULSE OUTPUT
DCEM provides 1 channel pulse output for the total active energy and total reactive energy.
The host/PLC/DI module can cumulative the data of both the active and reactive power energy sent by the pulse from optocoupler relay.
- Electrical specification: voltage VCC ≤ 48V, Iz ≤ 50mA.
- Pulse: example in 5000 imp / kWh, pulse upto 80ms.
This means: When the meter detect 1 kWh, the meter output 5000 pulse
Note: 1 kWh energy is for secondary side energy data, if there have PT and CT accessed; primary side energy data is “1 kWh ×PT ratio× CT ratio”.
For example : In measure time “T”, the received total pulse is “N”, Primary side input of voltage is 10Kv Primary side input of current is 400A. Secondary side measurement range is 100V and 5A.
In the time “T”, energy accumulated is : N/5000 × 100 × 80
COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
Connection for the RS485 BUS
The composition of the RS-485 cabling must be carried out with a meshed screen cable (minimum 3 wire), diameter of not less than 0.5mm2 , with a maximum distance of 1,200 m between the BJ194… and the master unit. This Bus may connect a maximum of 32 BJ194
Note
- For communication with the master unit, customers can choose the RS-232 to RS-485 converter to use
- Full range of BJ-194… meter RS485 PIN number is 58,59,60
- Due to product modifications or custom requirements, the interface pin place may be changed. For details, please refer to product label on the rear board
