4.1. Introducing the COUNTIS E17 / E18 The COUNTIS E17 and E18 are modular active and reactive electrical energy meters that display consumed energy. They are designed for single-phase networks and allow a direct connection of up to 80 A. They are equipped with an Ethernet communication bus.
• Avoid vibrations with accelerations greater than 1 g for frequencies lower than 60 Hz. 5.2. DIN rail mounted The COUNTIS E17/E18 can be mounted on a 35-mm DIN rail (EN 60715TM35). They must be used inside electrical cabinets. COUNTIS E17/E18 - 545873A - SOCOMEC...
0.47" / 12 mm 17.70 lb.in / 2 Nm max. 6.2. Connection to the electrical network and to the loads The COUNTIS E17/E18 are intended for single-phase networks with neutral. Ethernet Ethernet RJ45. The Ethernet cable must pass twice through the ferrite core, positioned at least 5 cm away from the device.
