To begin with The values of the partial energy meters. The instrument displays the energy values corresponding to the following tariffs: t1, t2, t3 and t4 when the digital input mod- ules are present and the instrument is set on “tot prd”. The tariffs are managed by set- ting the digital inputs as shown in the table on page 13.

To begin with When digital input modules are present and the instrument is set on “tot 2.Cn”, it displays the WATER meter m and the GAS m meter. These pages are common to all the settings of the instru- ment. It displays the W active power relating to phase 1.
Programming If the RS422/485 is present, then “r” means that the instrument is receiving data, while “t” means that the instrument is transmitting data; this confirms that the seri- al module is operating correctly and that the wiring is cor- rect.
Programming Change password This function allows you to choose the desired password value (from 0 to 1000). Choose the function “CnG PASS” by means of the keys; then press to modify PASS, enter the desired value by means of the keys and confirm the new value with the key.
Programming VT ratio This function allows you to select the VT ratio’s value. Example: if the connected VT primary (volt- age transformer) is 20kV and the secondary is 100V, the VT ratio corresponds to 200 (that is 1.2.. 20000/100). Choose the “Vt ..2.1 rAtio”...

Programming If, for example, you select the value 15 minutes, the instrument calculates the dmd value and updates it every 15 minutes. DMD VALUE CALCULATION Where: Pc is the contractual power, t1 is the selected period of demand/integration SYNCHRONISATION OF THE POWER DMD CALCULATION The calculation can be synchronized in two different ways: •...
Programming Access to the energy meters menu This function allows the user to choose the parameters for the management of the energy meters. Choose the function “COUntEr” by means of the keys: to confirm the value and enter the submenu press .

Programming The increase of the Water, Gas / night tariff gas counters or the change of tariff (t1, t2 t3, t4) is car- ried out thanks to the combination of the input puls- es to the AO2940 digital input module, according to the following table: RESULT INSTRUMENT...
Programming Digital Outputs Digital Output 1 This function enables to set the parameters of the open collector digital outputs. Choose “diGout” function by means of the keys, to enter the menu press . Then, you may set the following parameters. ACt EnE: enable the retransmis- sion of the active energy by means of pulses.
Programming Alarm Digital Output This function allows the user to set the parameters of the alarm digital output relating to the Wdmd variable (Power dmd). Choose the “diGout1- AL dmd” function by means of the 1.2.. keys: to enter the menu press ..2.1 Then, you may set the following parameters.
Programming Digital output 2 From Digital output 1, rEn, Pul, SEC page15 ACt EnE: enables the retransmis- sion of the active energy by means of pulses. Confirm with afterwards set the number of pulses (see table on page 19) by means of keys and confirm the value with rEA EnE: enables the retransmis-...

Useful information How to prevent the programming by key-pad It’s possible to prevent access to programming by modify- ing the dip-switch under slot B. Set dip-switch 1 in ON position to inhibit programming; set dip-switch 1 in OFF position to enable programming again. FREE Access DENIED Access Slot B...
Useful information the VT because the programming of VT depends on the CT value: if the CT is modified, then the VT value automatical- ly satisfies the expression: CT*VT≤5000. If the CT or VT values are modified, then the display resolution of the vari- ables and of the “pul”...
Useful information The “Err” message The instrument takes the measure only for quadrants 1 and 4 (consumed energy). The active energy is obtained by integrat- ing only the sum of the phase active powers on quadrants 1 and 4. Any active powers in quadrants 2 and 3 are forced to zero and the message “Err”...
Useful information Alarm digital output The activation of the alarm can be up-type or down-type depending on how the ON and OFF parameters have been set, according to the following table: ON-OFF VALUES COMPARAISON O ≥ O < Display of the programming menu It may be useful to underline that the programming menus displayed by the instrument depend on its configuration;...

Installation Removing the modules Slot for the screwdriver Connection label Identification label To remove the modules, use a screwdriver. Insert the screw- driver in the slot on the side of the removable modules, as indicated in the figure above. Use the screwdriver as a lever to take out the module.
Installation Access to programming: ALLOWED. See also “Useful information” on page 18. Slot B To configure the instrument correctly, it is impor- tant to verify that dip-switch 1 is in OFF position. See figure above. WARNING: DANGEROUS VOLTAGES. The con- nectors in the optional slots and the screws of the terminals are live if the instrument or the con- nected load are powered on.
Installation Open collector output connections The grounds of the open collector outputs are separate, so that it’s possible to carry out two different connections for the same module. The load resistance (Rc) must have a value the makes the short-circuit current lower than 100mA; the VDC voltage must be lower than or equal to 30V.
Installation Terminal connection Voltage connection RS422/ 485 serial port connections 2-wire connection 4-wire connection The termination of the serial port is carried out only on the last instrument of the network, by means of a jumper connection between (RX-) and (T). The 4- wire connection is recommended since the data, by means of serial port, are exchanged more quickly.
