Mounting The MTR-4 is designed for DIN rail mounting. It should be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail by means of three plastic fasteners. Before installation, fasteners should be in open position (pulled). When the device is in place, lock (push) the fasteners to closed position.
(Example of analogue output 1). Communication connection The MTR-4 is equipped with one standard serial (RS-485) communication port and one service communication port (USB). The USB communication port is NOT galvanically insulated and can be used ONLY UN-connected to auxiliary supply and power inputs! Connect the communication line by means of the corresponding terminals.

USB 2.0 compatible device. The USB connection is provided through a USB standard type mini B connector. When the MTR-4 is connected to a PC through USB communication for the first time, a user is prompted to install a driver. The driver is provided when downloading M-Set.
USB-mini B (type mini B plug) Connection of auxiliary power supply The MTR-4 multi transducer has universal (AC/DC) auxiliary power supply. Information on electric consumption is provided in the data sheet. Auxiliary supply is connected through a screw terminal connector.
MTR-4 Installation Instructions 5. Settings Introduction Instrument settings can be remotely modified with communication (RS-485 or USB) and M-Set software when connected to a PC. M-Set software M-Set is a software tool for complete monitoring of measuring instruments, connected to a PC via serial or USB communication.
MTR-4 Installation Instructions M-Set user interface You can download freeware M-Set from www.deif.com. Setting procedure In order to modify instrument settings with M-Set, current parameters must be loaded first. Instrument settings can be acquired via a communication link (serial or USB) or can be loaded off-line from a file on a local disk.

MTR-4 Installation Instructions Connection Settings of connections must reflect actual state; otherwise measurements are not valid. Connection When connection is selected, load connection and the supported measurements are defined (see chapter 6, “Measurements” regarding connection mode, on page 24). Setting of current and voltage ratios Before setting current and voltage ratios, it is necessary to be familiar with the conditions in which the device is to be used.

A number of pulses per energy unit, pulse length, and a tariff in which output is active are set. Pulse parameters are defined by SIST EN 62053−31 standard. In the section “Calculation of recommended pulse parameters”...
Alarms are used for alarming exceeded set values of the measured quantities. Alarm setting MTR-4 supports recording and storage of 16 alarms in two groups. For each group of alarms, a time constant of maximal values in thermal mode, a delay time and alarm deactivation hysteresis can be defined.
MTR-4 Installation Instructions 6. Measurements Introduction In the following chapters, the device operation is explained in more details. Supported measurements Selection of supported measurements is changed with the connection settings. All supported measurements can be read via communication (M-Set and Modbus).

MTR-4 Installation Instructions Explanation of basic concepts Sample factor − M A meter measures all primary quantities with sample frequency which cannot exceed a certain number of samples in a time period. Based on these limitations (65 Hz·128 samples), a sample factor is calculated.
MTR-4 Installation Instructions Present values All values are calculated as an average of number of periods set in general settings/average interval. Voltage The instrument measures true RMS values of all phase voltages (U1, U2, U3), connected to the transducer. Phase-to-phase voltages (U12, U23, U31), average phase voltage (Uf) and average phase-to-phase voltage (Ua) are calculated from measured phase voltages (U1, U2, U3).
Page 28
MTR-4 Installation Instructions Power factor and power angle Power factor is calculated as quotient of active and apparent power for each phase separately (cosϕ , cosϕ , cosϕ ) and total power angle (cosϕ ). For correct display of PF via analogue output and application of the alarm, ePF (extended Power Factor) is applied.
Modbus is enabled via RS-485 or USB. The response is the same type as the request. Two versions of Modbus register tables are available: • VERSION 1: MTR-4/MTR-3 Modbus registers • VERSION 2: Compatibility with previous version of the product, the MTR-2 Please note that VERSION 1 has both the IEEE 754 formatted float tags available and special formatted tags.
