1. APPLICATION The N100 meter is a programmable digital instrument designed for the measurement of 3-phase, 3 and 4-wire power network para- meters in balanced or unbalanced systems. The measured values are displayed on a two-color LED display. The meter enables control and optimization of the power electronic devices, systems and industrial installations.
2. METER SET Complete set of the meter includes: – N100 Meter 1 pc – user’s manual 1 pc – warranty card 1 pc – screw clamp to fix in the panel 4 pcs – RS485 interface connector 1 pc 3.
138 x 138 mm. There are screw terminal strips on the outer side of the meter which enable the connection of external wires of diameter up to 2.5 mm max 10 77,3 the hole in the mounting plate Fig 1. Overall dimensions and mounting +0,5 of the N100 meter...
5. METER DESCRIPTION 5.1 Current inputs All current inputs are galvanically isolated (internal current transformers). The meter is adapted to work with external measuring current transfor- mers / 1 A or 5 A /. Displayed current values and derivative values are automatically converted in relation to the introduced external current transformer ratio.

The N100 meter has 6 buttons, 4 4½-digit display sections, illuminated symbols and unit parameters. The values of the measured parame- ters are shown on the active pages selected by subsequent pressing the button (next page) or (previous page). The page consists any 4 values selected from the Table 1 and displayed simultaneously on the meter.
The assignment of individual buttons is as follows: The button allows to enter the procedure SEt (pressed for more than 3 seconds) when programming is used to accept the entered value. The buttons when programming are used to change the value of the digit in the decimal position. They enable to display the minimum and maximum values respectively in the measurement mode.
After switching the supply on, the meter performs a display test and displays the N100 meter name, version and current software version where: N100 – meter type, 230V 5A – version r1.00 – revision, version of the program 6.3 Operating modes...

6.4 MEASURING mode In the MEASURING mode the values are displayed according to the pages that are preset at the factory or configured by the user in Pages Programming PAG. Changing the page is done by pressing the button . The sequence of displayed pages is according to a table created in PAG mode.
6.4.1 Measurement of voltage and current harmonics The choice of harmonics is done by pressing the buttons for viewing the current harmonics or for voltage harmonics. Voltage harmonics U1, U2, U3 or current harmonics I1, I2, I3 are displayed simultaneously for 3-phases. The number of displayed harmonic circled in the figure, is signaled by blinking and it can be changed in the range 2..51 by pressing buttons.
