ADL400 – User Manual
GENERAL
This CT operated DIN Rail meter is for use with three phase supplies and
measures electrical parameters including Current (I), Voltage (V), Power
(kW/KVA/KVAr), Power Factor (PF), Frequency (Hz), Imported, Exported and Total
Energy (kWh/kVArh).
It’s MID approved, allowing it to be used for billing applications and is
highly accurate, (Class C, ±0.5%). With both a Pulse Output and RS485 Modbus
RTU it can be integrated with BMS or remote monitoring systems.

SETUP
The following instruction directs how to set the CT ratio on this meter. This MUST be done before use to ensure accurate readings. All other settings can be adjusted using the same method.
- Press and hold the to enter the setup menu. Enter the password, (default is “0001”), using the button to move the cursor and the button to change the value, then press .
- Use the or buttons to scroll through the values until it says “Ct” on the top line. Press and the last value will start to flash.
- Using the button to move the cursor and the button to change the value, set this to the CT rate required, (e.g. if using a 200/5 CT, this value would be set at 40, i.e. 200 ÷ 5), then press and the values will stop flashing.
- Once complete, press and hold the button and select Yes to save or No to exit without saving changes.
