Supplemental information

• This document is intended to be used in conjunction with the installation sheet that ships in the box with the meter.
• See the meter’s installation sheet for information related to installation.
• See the product’s catalog pages at www.se.com for information about your meter and its options.
• You can download updated documentation from www.se.com or contact your local Schneider Electric representative for the latest information about your product.

Meter wiring

NOTE : If the RS-485 communication converter does not have a G port, no need to connect. For Neutral wire, you can connect one N port.

Meter display

Display parameters

Two modes for data display:

• Auto scroll mode: Every 5 seconds the meter displays the next data page.
• Button mode: External button to check the data parameters.

Communication

Communication through protocol

The meter supports RS-485 Schneider Electric protocol. There are different software systems and methods you can use to access or display the meter data. This can range from using a simple protocol register interface to read stored values in the meter registers, to viewing intelligent information from the meter through an energy management system. The cable should be connected to terminals 23, 24 and 25. The default communication address of the meter is
Default protocol settings are as follows:

• Meter ID: 1
• Baud rate: 9600 bps
• Data bit: 8
• Parity: Even
• Stop bit: 1

The baud rate values can be changed to 4800, 2400 or 1200. The parity can be set to none or odd. Data bit and stop bit cannot be changed.
