INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Protocol Energy Meter
EM-RS485 and Current/Voltage Transducers
The EM-RS485 is a three channel meter, capable of monitoring
single-phase, two-phase and three-phase systems, as well as
3 independent single-phase systems with one meter. The EM-
RS485 meter off ers BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU protocols
and 2 pulse inputs to maintain exibility during installation and
operation. The EM-RS485 is compatible with all sizes of current/
voltage transducers (CVTs). With the EM-RS485 intelligent meter
technology, the device self-con gures baud rate, serial format,
protocol, and address (BACnet only) - eliminating additional
con guration steps.
Each CVT is independently calibrated to measure and digitally
communicate power values to the meter. The CVT's exible
Rogowski coil makes installations less burdensome. The voltage
connections are made directly into each CVT - keeping all high
voltage away from the meter. Each CVT is rated from 90 to
600VAC.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Failure to follow these instrutions may cause serious injury or death
• Read, understand and follow the instructions before installing this
product.
• The high voltage CVTs of this product must be mounted inside a
suitable re and electrical enclosure. Follow safe electrical work
practices. See NFPA 70E in the USA, or applicable local codes.
•
This equipment must only be installed and serviced by quali ed
electrical personnel having the skills and knowledge related to
the construction and operation of this electrical equipment and
installation, and has received safety training to recognize and
avoid the hazards involved. NEC Article 100.
• Do not use this product for life or safety applications.
•
Do not install this product in hazardous or classi ed locations.
• Product may use multiple voltage/power sources. Disconnect ALL
sources before servicing.
•
Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to con rm that power
is off . DO NOT depend on this product for voltage indication.
• Replace all doors, covers and protective devices before powering
the equipment.
• The installer is responsible for conformance to all applicable codes.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause injury, death or
equipment damage.
• The EM-RS485 and CVT sensors are designed to be used as a
system. DO NOT connect anything other than a Senva CVT sensor
to the RJ-11 jacks on the meter base.
