Field of application / Function range
multicount 3D6-0-LCD-EP-.../3D6-1-LCD-ES-... is a compact, easy-to-use energy meter counting active as
well as reactive energy (for consumption and recovery).
This energy meter was designed in accordance with the standards DIN EN 61036 (IEC 1036),
DIN EN 61268 (IEC 1268) and the requirement specification 2.0 revision 12/97 by the German Electricity
Association (VDEW)
Dual-tariff meter function (HT/LT) (multicount 3D6-1-LCD-ES-... only)
Consumption during high tariff and low tariff times is saved separately. Switching from high to low tariff times
and vice versa is either carried out by means of a digital signal to be applied externally, e.g. from the energy
supplier, or via an internal clock. A display flashing on the front of the device indicates which tariff is active at
the moment. When operated with the KBR Energy Bus, switching over can also be carried out centrally via the
Multimaster or PC.
Convenient operation and display
The LCD serves to either display the measured values directly or enter the respective parameters and confi-
guration data. In addition, six LEDs serve to show the status and monitor the functions. Four buttons facilitate
clearly structured navigation through the menus.
For 100 to 500 V networks
The multicount 3D6-0-LCD-EP-.../3D6-1-LCD-ES-... can be applied in three-wire as well as four-wire
networks. The unit can be implemented in 100 V as well as in 500 V networks for direct measurement. Using
a transducer adaptor, up to 700 V can be connected to the meter. Higher voltages can only be connected via
external voltage transformers; primary and secondary voltage can be freely programmed. The measuring
voltage inputs of the device measure directly, i.e. they are not metallically separated by a voltage transformer!
For energy supply networks with outer conductor connected to the earth potential, suitable suitable control gear
with electrical isolation (e.g. voltage transformer) must be used.
x/5A or x/1A freely programmable
The measuring inputs for current must always be fed via current transformers, while the transformer ratio is
programmable. The primary current value as well as the secondary current value can be selected.
Programmable pulse output
Active energy or reactive energy proportional pulses can be output via a programmable output laid out as S
0
interface. The pulse output type (in proportion to active or reactive energy for consumption or recovery) as well
as the pulse values (number of pulses per kWh or per kVArh) and the pulse length can be configured. These
pulses can be processed fo example by a master system for data acquisition or optimization, a maximum-
demand monitor or a central process control.
Each pulse is visualized by a flashing LED.
Serial port for connection to the KBR Energy Bus (multicount 3D6-1-LCD-ES-... only)
The multicount 3D6-0-LCD-EP-....has a serial port (RS485) is designed for conveniently configuring the
instrument via computer and optional software.
The interface offers the possibility to equip the multicount 3D6-0-LCD-EP-... with the funtionality of the
multicount 3D6-1-LCD-ES-... with an optionally available upgrade.
The multicount 3D6-1-LCD-ES-... has a serial port (RS485) for operation with the KBR Energy Bus.
A large amount of information that cannot be shown on the display can be read from the device via the Energy
Bus.
This allows both the online measured values for phase voltages, phase currents, individual power factors and
individual performance, as well as an entire series of data to be read out from the long-term memory.
