The four front control buttons are used for scrolling up or down through the parameters being measured and displayed. These buttons also allow programming of different current and voltage transformer ratios, demand times, baud rates, etc. The M850-LTHN MultiPower is housed in a 96 mm x 96 mm DIN style case. The case is constructed of black polycarbonate and is compliant with UL 94VO.
But if the ratio change was 800/1A, the M850-LTHN would have to be returned to the factory to have the internal circuits changed to 1 Amp at a cost or purchase a new unit. Warning: The secondary of a current transformer must never be allowed to be in an open circuit condition when the primary is energized.

Terminal Block Notes: Terminal screws are tightened using a flat-head screwdriver. It is recommended that the terminal screws be tightened by hand initially. When re-tightening with pneumatic screwdrivers, use a maximum torque of 0.5-1.0 Newton meters (Nm) or 1.1 in.-lbs. Force greater than the recommended tightening torque will damage the terminal block and connection.
Chapter 3: Electrical Installation Considerations When Installing Meters It is recommended that wherever possible any/all equipment be installed, serviced, repaired or replaced in de-energized conditions. If this is not possible, then installation of the M850-LTHN must be performed by qualified personnel who follow all required safety precautions and procedures.

Network Description In this section, we use the following words to describe: NODE: a network device, typically a PLC, PC, instrument or transducer. MASTER: a NODE which controls the protocol of a MASTER-SLAVE network. SLAVE: a node which responds to specific requests from a MASTER node. ADDRESS: a node's unique network identifier in the range of 1-247.

See Appendix A for the MODBUS Registers. These list the parameters with the MODBUS equivalent address and its address within the M850-LTHN-RS-PO. Any data requested that isn't applicable to the Type & System column, will return the value -ve infinity (FFFFFFFFh). The order can be altered using the MultiView Program supplied or by a suitable SCADA program.
((MODBUS implied 3x start address - 30001)*2) for the register start address. (Number of measurements required x 2) for registers required. Packet Structure A packet of data transmitted by a MASTER node will look something like the following example: [Address (1 byte)][Function Code (1 byte)][Register Start Address (2 bytes)][Number of Registers Required (2 bytes)][CRC error check (2 bytes)] Request the measured voltages of a meter (MODBUS addresses 30004 to 30006) from SLAVE 2.
