Introduction
The unit measures and displays the characteristics of single phase two wires (1p2w), three phase
three wires (3p3w,) and three phase four wires (3p4w) supplies, including voltage, frequency,
current, power ,active and reactive energy, imported or exported. Energy is measured in terms
of kWh, kvarh. Maximum demand current can be measured over preset periods of up to 60min-
utes. In order to measure energy, the unit requires voltage and current inputs in addition to the
supply required to power the product. The requisite current input(s) are obtained via current
transformers (CT). This meter can be configured to work with a wide range of CTs, giving the unit
a wide range of applications. Built-in interfaces provides pulse and RS485 Modbus RTU outputs.
Configuration is password protected. This unit can be powered from a separate auxiliary (AC or
DC) supply. Alternatively it can be powered from the monitored supply, where appropriate.

What is the total amount of amps allowed for the voltage measuring side. is it a 2.5mm cable terminated into ports 1 to 4?

The voltage measuring side of the MerCs Strider M4 V2 Series uses terminals 1 to 4, and it allows a 2.5mm² stranded wire. However, the context does not specify the total amount of amps allowed for the voltage measuring side.

  • Page 2: Pulse Output

    Current Transformer Primary Current Strider M4 V2 Series is CT operated. you will need to set the correct ratio. As an example: If using 100/5A CT, you will need to insure CT2 (Secondary) is set to 5 and CT rate is 0020. You divide the primary by the secondary to get the CT rate to be entered (100/5=20).
