XPERT-PRO – Operational Manual Dual color LED. Communication LED Data Receive – Green LED. Data Transmit – Red LED. Relay LED 2 Red Color for Relay ON Indication. Installation and Commissioning The unit supports three types of electrical installation such as 3P4W/3P3W/1P2W.
XPERT-PRO – Operational Manual 6. The unit should be programmed for all the required parameters which are field programmable and therefore, for selecting the various options supported, refer Operational Details in next section. 7. Now, the unit is ready for operation.
XPERT-PRO – Operational Manual 1P2W Mode Installation For Installation and Commissioning, proceed the following instructions. 1. Push the unit into the panel and mount using the clamps provided. Connect the auxiliary supply (80 VAC to 270 VAC) to the terminal marked P and N.
Connection Scheme Operational Details The electrical power meter, Xpert-Pro is a versatile meter with all the features needed to implement for a robust electrical power system. It can be configured to suit various electrical controls. This is achieved by making as many parameters field programmable, as possible.
XPERT-PRO – Operational Manual Programming Mode The unit is easy user interface for all the field programmable parameters by pressing keys provided. In order to program for all the parameters, the user should precede upto 18 parameters with the following displays.

XPERT-PRO – Operational Manual should be selected from any one of the following: Demand, Avg. Volt, Avg. Amps, KVA, KW, KVAR, and PF. b. The Alarm Values (K1 Value) which are programmable from 5 to 5000 should be selected for which the alarm parameter has to be generated. In case of PF, the Alarm value can be set from 60 to 100.
XPERT-PRO – Operational Manual K1 ON 2. Press key again. Immediately ‘P’ starts blinking which shows that the parameter can now be selected. Select the K1 ON by pressing keys according to your desired parameter and then press key to save the parameter.

XPERT-PRO – Operational Manual 1. In Run Mode, press key for about five seconds and then the unit displays the first programmable parameter, DEMAND ON. Press key several times to retrieve the programmable parameter, RESET ENERGY such as shown below.
XPERT-PRO – Operational Manual Run Mode In the run mode, the various parameters calculated by the meter display on different pages with 128X64 LCD backlit and are also true rms measurement. However, all the Power values displayed will auto scale to Mega from Kilo when the KVA value crosses 10,000.

XPERT-PRO – Operational Manual The seventeenth page shows total Odd Harmonics Distortions for both voltage and current in R-Y-B phases with percentage form. The eighteenth page shows Odd Harmonics Histogram for voltage in R-phase with percentage form. Likewise, Odd Harmonics Histogram for voltages in both Y-phase and B-phase will also be shown on 20th and 22nd pages respectively.
XPERT-PRO – Operational Manual The twenty fifth page shows the Waveform for current in R-phase. Here user can see if harmonic distortion is occurring in the wave form due to non-linear loads like rectifier and UPS etc. Likewise, the wave form for current in both Y-phase and B- phase will also be shown on 27th and 29th pages.
• DO NOT switch small loads like electronic Hooters, small relays with 230V AC coils etc., directly from the relay contact of XPERT-PRO. If done so, the small leakage current from the snubbers will not allow these loads to be switched off fully.
RS485 CONNECTION The industrial standard RS-485 communication port option is also available in XPERT-PRO. This option makes it possible for a user to select XPERT-PRO to provide power and energy information into a variety of existing or new control systems and communication networks such as EMS/PLC/SCADA.
In order to download live data for the various system parameters, user can use RS485 connecting to SCADA or EMS software. XPERT-PRO supports an RS485 port with MODBUS-RTU protocol. The station ID for every meter is site selectable, and so is the baud rate.

XPERT-PRO – Operational Manual • If an attempt is made to read some address other than the valid addresses, the exception response is sent. EXPEPTION CODE In the event that the query from the HOST has no communication error, but there is some error in specifying the address of registers to be read, the meter returns an exception message.
