CT Installation

• The arrow label on the CT must always point toward the load, as shown in the diagram below.
• Make sure to correctly associate CTs with voltage inputs.
• To avoid unwanted energy accumulation, short unused CT inputs or, on communicating models, configure the correct system type to disable unused inputs.
• Insert the optional strain relief tool into the two-hole opening above the RS-485 connector. Both CT and communications wires may be zip-tied to the tool for additional wire strain relief.

The following symbols are used in the diagram on the next page.

System Types

Install fuses, disconnect devices, and power connections as shown in the diagram. Select the section applicable to your meter from the column at left.

Notes:
Neutral (N) may be clipped and capped if not needed. Meter control power is derived from voltage between phases L1 and L2. The meter will not operate using phases L1 and N only. Fuse kits: EMFP1, EMFP2, EMFP3 (ANSI applications only).

I/Os

RS-485

Protocols| Baud rates| Parity|
---|---|---|---
Modbus RTU BACnet MS| 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 78600, 115200| None, Odd, Even|

The meter listens on the RS-485 bus to determine the baud rate, parity, and protocol and then configures itself to match (auto-baud and auto-protocol). This typically takes a dozen packet receptions. When the meter is listening to determine the baud rate and protocol, the Rx LED will flash yellow. If the meter is power-cycled when the meter has been communicating in Modbus RTU mode, it will remember the baud rate, parity, and Modbus protocol when power is restored. If the meter is power-cycled when communicating in BACnet MS/TP mode, it will come up in listen mode. If the meter sees numerous CRC or framing errors, it will return to the listening mode (Rx LED flashing yellow).

User Interface

Initial Setup

1. Use the CT Amperage rotary switch to select the rating (in amps) of the ⅓-volt CTs or the CTR Rogowski rope-style CTs to be attached to the meter. If the correct size is not on the list, use the next higher value, or a precise value may be configured over the communications port (if equipped).
2. Use the Address rotary switches to configure the meter to an address in the range of 1 to 99 for Modbus or 0 to 99 for BACnet (MAC) that is unique on the bus. The left rotary is the most significant digit, and the right is the least significant.
3. Insert the long end of the strain relief tool into the rotary pots and turn to the desired setting.

 The number of blinks between pauses indicates the Power Factor in tenths. A blink count of 7 would be a Power Factor of approximately 0.70 (in the range of 0.65 and 0.75).|  |
One or more of the user interface controls (rotary dials) on the meter has been overridden though Communications. Rotary dials on the front of the meter are no longer accurate.  Uno o más de los controles de la interfaz del usuario (mandos giratorios) en el medidor han sido anulados a través de Comunicaciones. Los mandos giratorios del frente del medidor ya no son precisos.

Phase Blink Length1, 2

Phase Blink Length1, 2

Blink ¾ second| Power is being imported (i.e., taken from the grid).
Blink ¼ second| Power is being exported (i.e., sent to the grid).

1. Bi-directional applications only.
2. The length of a blink can also indicate that a CT has been installed incorrectly. If two phases have a long blink and one phase has a short blink and power is being pulled from the grid, this indicates that a CT on the phase with the short blink is likely installed backward.

Troubleshooting

meter has the required voltage between phase A and B voltage inputs.

Verify the Status LED is blinking green. Check the fusing.

Data returned from the meter is inaccurate.| Incorrect setup values.| Verify that the CT size entered on the CT Amps rotary control is correct.

On communicating meters, check the power meter setup parameters (CT and PT ratings, system type, etc.). See the Configuration Tool, Modbus Point Map or BACnet Objects List.

Incorrect voltage inputs| Check power meter voltage input terminals to verify adequate voltage and correct phase connections.
Power meter is wired improperly.| Check all CTs and PTs to verify correct connection to the same service, PT polarity, and adequate

powering.

Check that the CT and voltage inputs are properly associated (Phase A voltage is connected to the Phase A CT, etc.).

See the Wiring section for more information.

Cannot communicate with power meter from a remote computer.| Power meter address is incorrect.| Verify that the meter is correctly addressed on the address rotary controls (see the Wiring section for more information).
Baud rate is not supported.| Verify that the baud rate used on the bus is supported by the meter (see “RS-485” on page 7). If the meter cannot determine which baud rate is being used, it will stay in auto-baud mode, blinking amber on the Rx LED.
Protocol is not supported.| Verify that the protocol used on the bus is supported by the meter (see “User Interface” on page 8).

The meter supports Modbus and BACnet MS/TP protocol.

Communications lines are improperly connected.| Verify the power meter communications connections (see “RS-485” on page 7).

Verify the terminating resistors are properly installed on both ends of a chain of units. Units in the middle of a chain should not have a terminator.

Verify biasing resistors are installed on a single place on the bus. Verify the shield ground is connected between all units.

Verify the shield ground is connected to earth at a single point on the bus.

Incorrect CT polarity (bi-directional applications only)| CT orientation is not correctly installed toward the load.| The user sets bits to invert the polarity of individual CT inputs (see Modbus register 4174). Inverting the CT polarity changes the sign (direction of energy flow) of real (active) power (in watts) reported for that phase in the bi-directional data set. It will also change the lead or lag indication reported by the sign of reactive power (VAR) in the bi-directional data set.
Incorrect voltage to

CT orientation

| The phase CT is not on the same wire that is connected to the voltage input for that phase. The reported real (active) power will be inaccurately low and the reactive

power high, resulting in a low Power Factor warning or alarm (see LED section and Error Bitmap Modbus register 4196).

| The CT inputs may be re-assigned to different phases (see Modbus registers 4175 to 4177).

Both the power and energy calculations in the uni- and bi-directional data sets will be rendered inaccurate by incorrect voltage-to-CT association. Note that the order of the phases does not affect the total energy calculated for the circuit, so it is not necessary to fix phase order, just voltage-to-CT association to obtain a correct power and energy calculation.
