71M6515H IC for 3-phase electronic power metering applications. It incorporates a 71M6515H integrated circuit, peripheral circuitry such an on-board power supply as well as a companion Debug Board that allows a connection to a PC running Windows® 2000/XP through a RS232 port. The demo board allows the evaluation of the 71M6515H power meter controller chip for measurement accuracy and overall system use.
Figure 1-1: TERIDIAN 71M6515H Demo and Debug Boards: Basic Connections The 71M6515H demo board system is shown in Figure 1-2. It consists of a stand-alone rectangular meter Demo Board and an optional Debug Board (most Debug Boards are partially assembled and have less components than shown in Figure 1-2).

Do not press the ALT key on the keyboard! USING THE DEMO BOARD The 71M6515H Demo Board is a ready-to-use meter with a preprogrammed scaling factor Kh of 3.2 Wh/pulse. In order to be used with a calibrated load or a meter calibration system, the board should be connected to the AC power source using the spade terminals on the bottom of the board.

Square This button enables temperature compensation by the host. If button the bit associated with DEFAULT PPM is 0, the 71M6515H internally controls the temperature compensation based on the stored VREF characterization values. When DEFAULT PPM is 0, the host may write values into the PPMC and PPMC2 fields to influence temperature compensation.

71M6515H Demo Board User’s Manual CALIBRATING THE DEMO METER The general calibration procedure is as follows: Obtain the deviation from ideal accuracy using a meter calibration system (see section 2.1). Calculate the calibration values using the error terms obtained in step 1 (see section 2.1).
It is also very important that the calibration system, just like the hookup of a real meter, applies voltage constantly while varying the current. For the calibration of the 71M6515H it is essential that voltage is applied at least a few seconds before the measurement is started, i.e. before current is applied. This is necessary because: •...

The oscillator of the 71M6515H drives a standard 32.768kHz watch crystal (see Figure 2-8). Crystals of this type are accurate and do not require a high current oscillator circuit. The oscillator in the 71M6515H has been designed specifically to handle watch crystals and is compatible with their high impedance and limited power handling capability.

TESTING THE DEMO BOARD USING THE GUI It is a good idea to get familiar with the features of the 71M6515H chip and the Demo Board using the GUI program. Some features can be explored by just feeding the +5VDC to the Demo Board without any high voltage involved.
Both numbers are given in percent. This means that for the measured Demo Board, the sum of all errors resulting from tolerances of PCB components, CTs, and 71M6515H tolerances was in the range of –0.025% to –0.459%, a range that can easily be compensated by calibration.
