1. INTRODUCTION The Direct Connected Energy Meter is a DIN Rail mounted Digital Meter, primarily for bidirectional Active, Reactive and Apparent Energy measurement intended for use in industrial, commercial and residential electrical energy metering. It also accurately measures important electrical parameters like Voltage, Current, Frequency, Active, Reactive and Apparent Power, and Power Factor in Three Phase and Single Phase Networks.
2. LCD Display 2.1. Introduction The meter displays more than 100 measurement parameters including Total Energies, Tariff, Partial and Per Phase Energies and also other important electrical parameters like Max Demand, Voltage, Current, Frequency, Active Power, Reactive Power, Apparent Power and Power Factor on individual screens. The screens are mapped in such an intuitive way that the user can easily navigate through all parameters using front three keys.
2.2.2. SO Output Indication The meter has two opto-isolated pulse outputs that can be configured for any one of the Active (Total /Import /Export) or Reactive (Total/Import/Export) Energy parameter. The status of digital output is indicated on LCD as shown below: Pulse output at SO1.
