SDM230-Modbus
Single-phase Meter User Manual
Overview
The energy-meters “with a blue back-lighted LCD screen for prefect reading” are used to measure single-phase like residential, Utility and Industrial application. The unit measures and displays various important electrical parameters, and provide a communication port for remote reading and monitoring. Bi-directional energy measurement makes the unit a good choice for solar PV energy metering.

Installation
Wire diagram:
The Ingress Protection rate is IP51 and the pollution degree is PD2, So meter must be install in door. The whole installation chart shows as below:
before screw the cable. Please open the cover of meter:
The standard communication cable between meter and inverter is 5m, if it is
not enough, Customers can be extended through the network cable.
Note: be careful the wire of input and output of L/N, if lines are wrong,
it may destroy the meter.

When it is powered on, the meter will initialize and do selfchecking.
Full screen→ software version → Modbus ID → Baud rate → total kWh
Scroll display by Button
After initialization and self-checking program, the meter display the measured
values. The default page is total kWh. If the user wants to check other
information, he needs to press the scroll button on the front panel.
The display order by scroll button
Total kwh → import kwh → export kwh → resettable kwh → total kVarh → import kVarh export kVarh → resettable kVarh → Max. power demand → voltage → current → W → Var VA→ power factor → frequency pulse constant Modbus ID→ baud Fate → continuous running time.
