7M User’s Manual 1. BASIC DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 1.1 Description of the device The single-phase energy meters 7M.24 are intended for energy measurements in single-phase electrical power networks and can be used in residential, industrial and utility applications. Meters measure energy directly in 2-wire networks according to the principle of fast sampling of voltage and current signals.
7M User’s Manual 1.2 Single-phase energy meters application 7M.24 is a single phase energy meter that can be equipped with optical (IR) communication port on the side as a standard depending on model. Meter can be equipped: • S0 output (pulse output) is intended for connection to the devices that are checking and monitoring consumed energy. •...
7M User’s Manual 1.4 Main features • Single-phase direct connected DIN-rail mounting meters • Active energy class B for MID approved types according to EN 62053-21 and class 1 for other types (non-MID version) according to EN 50470-3 • Reactive energy Class 2 according to EN 62053-23 •...
Connection shall therefore be performed ONLY by a qualified person using an appropriate equipment. Finder S.p.A. does not take any responsibility regarding the use and connection. If any doubt occurs regarding connection and use in the system which device is intended for, please contact a person who is responsible for such installations.

7M User’s Manual 3. FIRST STEPS Programming a single phase energy meter 7M.24 is very transparent and user friendly. Numerous settings are organized in groups according to their functionality. 3.1 Display Measured data is presented on LCD. Display scrolls automatically. Displayed quantities and scroll time can be set via communication via mobile app using NFC.
7M User’s Manual 3.2 LCD User Interface After the electrical connection, the display shows a segment check screen, software version screen and check sum screen in a period of five seconds. After that is visible the basic display that shows the E1 MID counter for active energy (is possible that the display will show small amount of energy measured and/or other parameters depending on the test done in the production line as per request by MID production procedure).

7M User’s Manual 3.2.1 Cap touch self calibration process In a reported fixed 64s interval the average, minimum and maximum value of the cap touch sensor is calculated. If the conditions are stable (without interruptions) then the average value of the cap touch sensor is used as a reference value. If the new reference value deviates sufficiently from the permanently stored value, it is permanently saved.
