INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Protocol Energy Meter
EM-RS485 and Current/Voltage Transducers
The EM-RS485 is a three channel meter, capable of monitoring
single-phase, two-phase and three-phase systems, as well
as 3 independent single-phase systems with one meter.
The EM-RS485 meter offers BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU
protocols and 2 pulse inputs to maintain flexibility during
installation and operation. The EM-RS485 is compatible with
all sizes of current/voltage transducers (CVTs). With the EM-
RS485 intelligent meter technology, the device self-configures
baud rate, serial format, protocol, and address (BACnet only) -
eliminating additional configuration steps.
Each CVT is independently calibrated to measure and digitally
communicate power values to the meter. The CVT's flexible
Rogowski coil makes installations less burdensome. The
voltage connections are made directly into each CVT - keeping
all high voltage away from the meter. Each CVT is rated from 90
to 600VAC.
