2 Tips on mounting and installation
2.1 General safety tips
The meters are to be used exclusively for measuring electrical energy and must only be
operated within the specified technical data (see nameplate).
When installing or changing the meter, the conductor for which the meter is connected
must be de-energised. For this purpose only the provided terminals must be used.
Contact to parts under voltage is extremely dangerous; therefore the relevant back-
up fuses are to be removed and stored so that other people cannot insert these
unnoticed.
Before opening the meter, the secondary circuit to the current transformer must definitely
be short circuited. The high voltage on the current transformer is extremely dangerous
and destroys the current transformer.
With an incorrect installation of the meter, the S0 inputs can lead to mains voltage.
Caution: danger!
The local standards, guidelines, regulations and instructions are to be obeyed. Only
authorised, trained personnel are permitted to install the electricity meters.
2.2 Maintenance- and guarantee tips

The meter is maintenance-free. With damages (e.g. caused by transportation or storage)
no repairs may be carried out.
Once the meter has been opened, all warranty claims cease. This also applies if a defect
can be traced back to external influences (e.g. lightning, fire, extreme temperature- and
weather conditions, incorrect or careless use or treatment).
12
2.3 Mounting
Meters from the series LZQJ-XC are suitable for wall mounting according to
DIN 43857-2.
Figure 1: Dimensions
13
2.4 Installation
When connecting the meter it is very important to take notice of the circuit diagram which
you can find on the inside of the terminal cover and also in the delivery documents. In
chapter 2.6 Circuit diagrams on page 16 you can find examples of these.
2.4.1 Transformer operated meter

Meters for transformer operation are to be protected with a back-up fuse of < 10 A in the
voltage path.

Figure 14: Display
1. The operation display shows the current direction of energy as measured by the
meter (export/import of active energy, export of inductive/capacitive reactive energy).
If current is flowing it is possible to see in which quadrant is being measured by
means of the energy direction arrow e.g.:
st
1 Quadrant +P/+Q
nd
2 Quadrant -P/+Q
rd
3 Quadrant -P/-Q
th
4 Quadrant +P/ -Q

2. The battery status display shows the charging status of the buffer battery of the
real time clock. The following displays are possible:
full voltage, real time clock is buffered when there is no voltage
discharged, no buffering of the real time clock is possible
3. The communication display is continually lit-up when there is communication with

the meter via data interfaces (optical or electrical) or the display flashes when the
parameterisation status is active.
4. The phase display signalises connection of the individual phase voltages. With an
incorrect rotating field all three symbols flash.
5. The unit is displayed corresponding to the measured energy type or the displayed
measured value.
6. In the additional cursor field, operation conditions of the meter are represented.
The black arrows show if a manipulation or an installation error has been registered
or if the performance threshold has been exceeded.
MAN The cursor is active if a manipulation has been registered on the terminal-
or meter cover or electromagnetic interference.
INST The cursor is active if an entry has been registered in the installation
check register.
PWR The cursor is active if a power threshold set in the meter is exceeded.
7. In the standard cursor field, operation conditions of the meter are represented. The
black arrows show which tariff and maximum demand is active and via which
hardware (clock or ripple control receiver) the meter should be controlled.
T1-T4 Tariff information for energy. All tariff registers which can be activated are
displayed on the nameplate.
M1-M4 Tariff information for maximum demand. All tariff registers which can be
activated are displayed on the nameplate.
RCR The cursor flashes when the internal RCR is activated and ready to
receive. The relevant cursor is continually active when the internal ripple
control receiver receives a telegram.
RL The cursor flashes for the duration of the activation of a reset inhibition.
CLOCK The cursor is active if the internal clock controls the tariff device.
SET The cursor is active when the meter is in the set mode.
8. In the value area the measured values are represented.
9. In the OBIS code area the measured values are defined by means of the OBIS
code. The display is capable of displaying the long OBIS code (see page 92).
32
3.3.2 Test - LEDs
The Test-LEDs are used for the output of energy proportional active- and reactive energy
impulses, for certification of the meter and for the display of start-up and no load
operation. The impulse constants depend on the meter type.
If the meter measures no current or current below the start-up threshold, the meter is in
the no-load operation mode. In this case, the LED is continually lit-up. With Combi-
meters the LED is continually lit-up if the energy flow direction is negative. If the meter
measures current above its start-up threshold, energy proportional impulses are
displayed.
3.3.3 Call-up and reset button

The call-up button serves to call up the display lists in the display. Via the reset button,
which is situated behind the sealable module cover, a manual reset can be carried out.
3.3.4 Optical call-up sensor

The optical call-up sensor serves to call up the display lists in the display. Operation of
the display takes place by means of a pocket lamp.
3.3.5 Parameterisation button

The parameterisation button is used to activate the parameterisation status in the meter.
The button is located under the meter cover. To operate this button the meter must be
opened which means the seals must be broken. Breaking the seals means that the
certification expires and therefore this may only be carried out by authorised personnel.
When the meter is in the parameterisation status the communication symbol flashes in
the display.
3.3.6 Optical data interface D0

Communication between the meter and PC takes place via the optical data interface. An
optical communication adapter OKK is required for this. In order to fix the OKK to the
meter there is a magnetic ring which is found on the meter cover. Further information on
the optical data interface can be found on page 41.
3.3. Meter cover

The meter cover is made of crystal clear polycarbonate. The housing cover is mounted
at the bottom in the baseplate and screwed at the top with both of the sealing screws.
With the relevant configuration, when removing the housing cover, a manipulation is
registered. More detailed information can be found on this in chapter 6.1 Manipulation
on page 77.
33
3.3.8 Sealable terminal cover
The terminal cover is made of grey polycarbonate and is fixed to the terminal block with
sealing screws. The circuit diagram is fixed on to the inside of the terminal cover.
With the relevant configuration, when removing the terminal cover, a manipulation is
registered. More detailed information on this can be found in chapter 6.1 Manipulation
on page 77.
3.3.9 Battery compartment

The battery compartment is found under the sealable module cover. A lithium battery
(CR-P2, 6 V) can be assembled here which, if necessary, can be exchanged. The
battery is used for reading out the meter via the optical interface and for reading the
display during power failure. It also buffers the real time clock. In the delivery status the
battery function is not active. To activate it, open the hinged cover and pull out the
readout battery. Then remove it from the holder and flip it over so that the battery
contacts to the compartment. Afterwards push the battery incl. folder in the battery
compartment with the contacts of the compartment facing left. Finally close the hinged
cover.
3.3.10 Communication module compartment

The communication module compartment is found under the sealable module cover.
Here a modem- or interface module can be inserted. Mounting and removal can take
place when the meter is under voltage. Further information on the modules can be found
on page 17 and also in the LZQJ accessories catalogue.
3.3.11 Nameplate
The nameplate contains data for identification of the meter, the approval mark, technical
specifications and explanations.
The cursor lettering below the display and the description of the OBIS code on the
nameplate are standard and not adapted to the meter version.
The nameplate can contain more information than is configured on the existing version.
The parameterised functions are to be taken from the list of desied features.
3.3.12 Transformer nameplate

Transformer operated meters (in general secondary meters) are equipped with a
transformer nameplate which is found under the sealable module cover. On the
transformer nameplate the following information is displayed:
Figure 15: Transformer nameplate

3.4 Modules
Fundamentally the meter consists of:
Switched-mode power supply
Measuring device
Tariff device
Interfaces
In- and outputs
In the following the most important modules are described.
3.4.1 Voltage supply

3.4.1.1 Direct supply
The LZQJ-XC is supplied via a primary switched, long-range power supply (3x58/100 V
... 3x240/415 V) with a high degree of efficiency. The power supply is earth-fault proof
and guarantees operation without the neutral conductor (N). In case a component fails
during operation the power supply is overload- and short-circuit-proof.
With single-phase connected meters from the LZQJ series a faultless operation up to
Unom + 15% / - 20% is guaranteed.
Permitted voltage versions:
Measuring voltage Application

3 x 58/100 V 4-wire
3 x 63/110 V 4- wire
3 x 66,4/115 V 4- wire
3 x 115/200 V 4- wire
3 x 127/220 V 4- wire
3 x 220/380 V 4- wire
3 x 230/400 V 4- wire
3 x 240/415 V 4-wire
3 x 58/100 V 240/415 V 4- wire
3.4.1.2 Auxiliary voltage
Only valid for LZQJ-XC-P2 ... and LZQJ-P5 ... (precision meters with accuracy class
0.2 and 0.5)!
The LZQJ-XC as a precision meter has the possibility of external auxiliary voltage
supply. In general there are two types of supply which are differentiated between:
a) Auxiliary supply
The energy for the electronic measuring device is only taken from the auxiliary
supply. The auxiliary supply and measuring circuit voltage are galvanically separated.
b) Combined supply
With certain voltage conditions the power for the electronic device is no longer taken
from the auxiliary supply, instead, it is taken from the measuring circuit voltage. If the
auxiliary supply completely fails, the power for the electronic measuring device is
taken exclusively from the measuring circuit voltage (feature of the combined supply).
This means, the meter is completely capable of functioning even if the auxiliary
supply fails (advantage when compared to option a)).
The presence of auxiliary voltage supply relieves the load in the voltage paths in the
measuring system, resulting in a substantial decrease in apparent power
consumption (see Table 11).

3.4.2 Measuring device

3.4.2.1 Measuring principle
The electrical energy is measured by processing the sampling values which the Analog
Digital Transformers (ADC) send to the processor. By means of this, all of the measured
values can be measured or calculated in all quadrants. The calculation ensures that the
values are stable and resistant to ageing.
Figure 16: Definition of quadrants
3.4.2.1.1 Voltage measurement
The terminal voltages create network proportional internal voltage levels at internal
voltage dividers. These are fed into the 3 input channels of the ADC.
3.4.2.1.2 Current measurement
For measuring current, error compensated current transformers are used. The output
variables of the respective amplifier are fed into the 3 input channels of the ADC.
36
3.4.2.1.3 Data protection
During operation the current measurements are stored in the working memory (RAM).
Every 24 hours this data is transferred to a non-volatile memory. It is only in cases of
longer interruptions that the measuring period is interrupted and the device completely
shuts down. Data remains stored in the non-volatile memory for at least ten years. No
buffer battery is needed to preserve the data. The data retention is assured exclusively
by the qualities of the storage medium (Flash).
3.4.3 Tariff switching clock

The tariff switching clock is integrated into the meter. It is based on a quartz-controlled,
battery or capacitor-buffered real time clock (RTC) which provides time information (date,
day of week, time) in second intervals.
Switching times can be configured exclusively for the customer by means of:
16 season tables,
16 day types or
384 holiday definitions for any weekdays
These switching times are compared continually with the real time clock. If they coincide
with the configured switching times or switching periods, the switching function is
activated. Switching functions are the activation of the maximum demand registers and
energy registers. As a result of this, 32 energy registers and maximum demand registers
each with a maximum of 8 tariffs can be configured via the tariff switching clock. At the
beginning of the summer period an hour is added on to the time of the tariff switching
clock (CET). The beginning and end of the summer period is determined with the help of
a summer time register. This register is settable in order to be able to react to possible
changes of the current valid summer time regulations. The accuracy of the real time
clock is within 5ppm. The buffering of the real time clock (RTC) can take place by a
SuperCap-capacitor with a running reserve of approx. 6 days (150 hours). With a
completely discharged SuperCap the charging time is approx. 18 min after applying the
voltage phases (90% voltage). Instead of a SuperCap-capacitor, the buffering can take
place by using a battery (dry Li-battery) with a running reserve of > 20 years. The latter is
recommended for meters with load profile memories so that the load profile is correctly
dealt with chronologically when there are longer power interruptions or if the meter has
been turned off for longer periods. As a rule, the real time clock is quartz controlled
however, can also be synchronised via the following variations:
Synchronisation of the real time clock via the line frequency
The clock is synchronised cyclically by a mains frequency controlled timer
Synchronisation of the real time clock via an impulse at the input contact
Synchronisation takes place at
o the next full 1 minute or
o next measuring period limit or
o a fixed time of the day
Synchronisation of the real time clock via a DCF77-receiver connected to the
S0-input
DCF77 is a time signal which is emitted via longwave. The circulation is carried out
by the PTB and serves as the legal time. In the DCF77 signal, time information of
the next complete minute is coded to which the meter then synchronizes itself.

3.4.4 Ripple control receiver (RCR)
The integrated rippple control receiver of the LZQJ-XC is based on a highly selective
recursive filter which directly processes the16 bit sampling values of the AD-transformer.
Due to the sampling rate of 3200 Hz, ripple control frequencies in the range of 110 to
1600 Hz are supported.
The following telegrams can be configured.

The telegrams differ by their command evaluation procedure and by their digital structure
of the pulse sequence. The ripple control receiver can switch 6 ripple control relays
which are available for control functions of the meter. Also tariff- and maximum demand
controls, resets and caution signals can be passed on directly via terminals or optical
fibre interfaces.
Reading out and setting of the RCR position of the ripple control receiver
Open Direct > RCR position...
After activation of the menu option, the relay position of the ripple control receiver is
read out first of all. Next a window opens in which the relevant relay position is
marked with an X. The relay position can be changed by means of a double click on
the appropriate field. To send the changed settings to the meter click on Write.

3.4.5 Data interfaces
Data exchange between meters and readout devices (eg. PC, modem, PDA, etc.) takes
place via the optical interface (D0) or, at auxiliary terminals, via the electrical interface
(RS232, RS485, CL0). Communication is in accordance with DIN EN 62056-21 or
DLMS.
3.4.5.1 Optical data interface D0
Communication between the meter and the PC takes place via the optical data interface.
For this an optical communication adapter (OKK) is necessary which can be obtained
from EMH. The OKK is available for connection to a readout device with a RS232-, USB-
or Bluetooth interface. It has a magnet to fix it to the iron ring situated on the front of the
housing cover.
Transmission rates from 300 to 9600 Baud, fixed or mode C/E can be set.

RS485
RS232
Simultaneous operation of the first electrical interface and optical interface is not
possible.
In addition to the above listed interfaces a modem- or interface module can be mounted
in the communication module compartment. By means of this it is possible to grant third
parties restricted access to the meter data. The first interface can be used in parallel by
the utility company for meter communication with access to all data. By means of a multi-
level password concept, the access rights can be easily assigned.

3.4.5.2.3 Electrical interface CL0 (CS)
The galvanic de-coupled CL0 interface is designed according to DIN 66348, part 1. It is a
passive two-wire interface which means that it does not have its own power source. The
data is transmitted by electric current / no electric current (Mark/Space) at a nominal
current of 20 mA which is the reason why the CL0 interface is also referred to as the
20 mA current interface.
The CL0 can be found at the auxiliary terminals 23 (+) and 24 (-) in accordance with the
VDEW-Specifications 2.1.
Figure 23: Connection diagram - CL0
The voltage drop in the meter of the series-connected transmitter is approx. 2 V and of
the receiver is approx. 3 V so that a maximum of 4 meter outputs (dependent on the
meter modem) can be connected in series and operated by a modem.

3.4.5.3 Optical fibre interface LLS
At the meter terminal L there is a coupling point to which an optical fibre can be
connected by simply plugging- and screwing in. The other end of the optical fibre is
plugged into the optical fibre separation box. The optical fibre interface can be found at
the auxiliary termnal L.
Figure 24: Connection diagram - LLS
The optical fibre separation box is in DIN-Rail housing according to EN 50 022 and it has
its own optical fibre output so that a total of four relay boxes can be cascaded.
Figure 25: Connection plan - LLS
For each relay box up to 6 control outputs can be realised, altogether a total of 24 control
outputs. Each output of the optical fibre separation box can be designed as a relay-
(optional with suppressor circuit) or Opto-MOSFET output or as a make- or break
contact.
The optical fibre separation box is supplied by a long range network power supply from
100V to 230V. A complex input suppressor circuit protects the meter from destruction as
a result of bad power supply.
With the described arrangement, an optimal isolation is obtained by means of galvanic
separation of the optical fibre between the meter and relay boxes.
Features
Number of connected boxes up to 4

Length of the optical fibre: Meter-Box up to 20 m
Length of the optical fibre: Box-Box up to 50 m

4 Firmware
Diverse configurable variables have been programmed in the meter which define the
meters functions. These include:
settable variables
parameterable variables
Settable variables can be changed by operation buttons or one of the interfaces.
Parameterable variables include variables which define the properties of the counter.
Parameterable variables can be changed via the optical interface D0 or one of the
electrical interface. To do this, the meter must be in the parameterisation status (by
pressing the parameterisation button). To operate the parameterisation button, the meter
cover must be opened which means that the seals must be broken. Breaking the seals
means that the certification is no longer valid and may therefore only be carried out by
authorised personnel.
When the meter is in the parameterisation status only the communication symbol
flashes.
The parameterisation status is ended by means of the following:

4.1 Tariff device
The tariff device calculates the consumed or supplied electrical power or energy on the
basis of the digitalised measured values and allocates it to the power and energy
registers.
4.1.1 Energy- and maximum demand tariffs

With the LZQJ meter, a maximum of 32 registers each can be configured for electrical
energy and maximum demand. Each register has a memory with up to 15 pre-values
which represent the measured values and the time stamp of the last 15 reset periods.
The assignment of the measured variables is configured at EMH according to the
customers requirements.
4.1.1.1 Maximum demand metering

4.1.1.1.1 Block measuring period
One possibility of forming the maximum is based on the measurement of the average
power during a block measuring period tm. The time integral of the accrued energy is
divided by the measuring period. If the current maximum demand value exceeds the
highest measured maximum demand value since the beginning of the billing period, this
value is saved as the new maximum demand in the relevant register with the appropriate
time stamp.
The duration of the measuring period tm is derived from the real time clock (RTC). The
duration of the measuring period can be configured to 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes.
The beginning of a measuring period is activated by an:
Internal switching signal:
Tariff switching clock
Ripple control receiver, or
External switching signal at one of the auxiliary terminals:

At the control input S0
At a control input (system voltage) configured for this purpose
Figure 32: Formation of the maximum demand with a block measuring period
57
4.1.1.1.2 Sliding measuring period
An additional possibility of forming the maximum is measuring the average

power over a sliding measuring period. The measuring period can be divided into several
partial measuring periods depending on the measuring period length. By means of this, a
sliding average value is created which is updated at the end of each partial measuring
period.
This average value is saved in a circular memory at the end of every partial measuring
period and the sliding maximum is calculated on the basis of the entries saved in this
circular memory.
Formation of the sliding maximum begins with the first partial measuring period after a
reset. As can be seen from the following example, a complete measuring period (in the
example with 3 partial measuring periods) is required before the first valid value (1.85
kW) is available. A new, valid sliding measuring period is available at the end of each
next partial measuring period.
If the current power value exceeds the highest power value which has occurred since the
beginning of the sliding measuring period, it is saved as the new, valid maximum in the
appropriate register with a measuring period time stamp.
The measuring period duration can be configured to 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes.

With a measuring period of 30 min, the duration of the partial measuring period is 1
min. With a measuring period of 30 to 60 min, the duration of the partial measuring
periods is 5 min.
The beginning of a measuring period is activated by an:

Internal switching signal:
Tariff switching clock
Ripple control receiver, or
External switching signal at one of the auxiliary terminals:

At the control input S0
At a control input (system voltage) configured for this purpose
The following example shows the calculating of sliding measuring periods by means of 3
partial measuring periods.
58
Figure 33: Formation of the maximum demand with a sliding measuring period
The values from the sliding measuring period result from the sum of the last 3
entries from the circular memory.
Measuring period 1: (0+0+0) = 0 kW
Measuring period 2: (0.57+0+0) = 0.57 kW
Measuring period 3: (0.72+0.57+0) = 1.29 kW
Measuring period 4: (0.56+0.72+0.57) = 1.85 kW (1. valid value)
59
4.1.1.2 De-coupling time te
In order to control other devices (e.g. a maximum demand monitor), a so-called de-
coupling signal te can be generated at an output (aux. terminal) or the optical fibre
interface. Part 4 of VDE 0418 regulation stipulates that the de-coupling time may not
exceed the higher of the following: 1% of the measuring period or 15 seconds.
This de-coupling time is part of the measuring period and is generated at the beginning.
In Europe, the measuring period most commonly used is 15 minutes (= 900 s), therefore
the de-coupling time is 9 seconds. Electronic maximum demand meters need practically
no de-coupling time. The de-coupling time te is distinguished by the speed of the
software running time and rapid switching in the semiconductor elements which lies at a
maximum in the millisecond range. Although the de-coupling signal is output externally
with 1% of the measuring period, with electronic maximum demand meters there is a
continual measuring process during this period.
4.1.1.3 Reset (cumulation)
A reset has the following effect:

Termination of the running measuring period
Saving of the current maximum demand in the corresponding pre-value memory
Cumulation of the current maximum demand in the cumulation register
Reset of the maximum demand register to zero
Reset of the current average power value to zero
Saving of the energy values accrued until the time of the reset in the relevant pre-
value memory
Activation of a reset inhibition
Incrementing of the reset register 0.1.0
Registration of the reset time in the appropriate pre-value memory
A reset can be activated by one of the following:

- Reset button
- The internal tariff switching clock
- The internal ripple control receiver
- An external control input
- By a command via the optical data interface D0
- By a command via the electrical data interface
After a reset, depending on the selected reset channel, a temporal lock is activated.
During this lock-out time no further resets can be carried out. The lock-out time is at least
the duration of a measuring period and at the most 40 days. With each reset the block
time is activated once again. Three block times with different durations can be set.

4.1.1.4 Load profile

Fundamentally two independent load profiles can be created from the LZQJ-XC.
P.01 Standard load profile

P.02 User load profile

Recording of the measured values for the network analysis according to EN 50160
standards
4.1.1.4.2 Standard load profile P.01
a. Measuring types
There are principally three ways of measuring the individual load profile channels.
Average value, OBIS value group D = 5
The calculation of the average value takes place analog to the maximum
formation (see 4.1.1.1 Maximum) which means that the average value of every
registration period arises from the time integral during the run period divided by
the registration period duration.
Energy, OBIS value group D = 8
At the end of each registration period the current values from the energy
registers are saved.
Energy feed, OBIS value groups D = 29
At the end of each registration period the differences between the current
values from the energy registers and from the starting point of the registration
period are saved..

The load profile consists of header lines [P.01()] and value lines. The headers
consist of a time stamp, status information and channel information on the readout
values. The time stamp relates to the value lines and each marks the end of this
period. The output format corresponds to the definition in the VDEW-Specifications
2.1.
c. Memory depths
Assuming there are 2 headers per day, tm = 15 min, the format is x.xxx kW and
there is an exclusive configuration of the standard load profile, the following
maximum memory depths would be the result. With simultaneous configuration of
the user load profile P.02 the memory depths decrease.
Number of channels Days with tm = 15 min

Table 19: Memory depths

The number of channels can be configured between 1 and 6 (as an option up to 32)
and a measured variable can be freely assigned to each channel. The load profile
always runs clock synchronised. The restart of a registration period (with t m =
15 min) takes place every h (time from the meters real time clock), which means
at hh:00, hh:15, hh:30 and hh:45 oclock. In the event of a voltage failure the
current time is saved in the data protection memory.
After power return, two methods are differentiated between:

a) Power return within the current registration period:
No new registration period is formed, the current registration period continues.
Power return outside the current registration period:
A new registration period is formed.
b) With each power return a new registration period is formed
The load profile can be represented in the display. The load profile can be certified and
used for billing purposes. The load profile depth for output via data interfaces can be
configured and integrated in up to four readout tables so that the volume of data can be
selected to fit various requirements. Furthermore there is the possibility to read out
targeted periods of the load profile.

6 Special features
6.1 Manipulation recognition
For registering manipulation attempts, the LZQJ-XC can be equipped with a
manipulation recognition system which registers manipulation when the housing cover
and terminal cover are removed or when there is magnetic interference.
6.1.1 Principle functions

On the main board there are 2 micro buttons. The meter cover and terminal cover both
have a pin on the inner side. Each time the meter cover or the terminal cover is removed,
a manipulation attempt is registered by the respective micro button. By equipping the
LZQJ-XC with a buffer battery the removal of the housing cover or terminal cover is also
registered when the meter is switched off.
6.1.2 Output possibilities

There are 4 possibilities to show a manipulation attempt.
1) Cursor in the display
2) Registration entry
3) Activation of an alarm contact
4) Log book entry
Figure 36: Output of manipulations
6.1.2.1 Cursor in the display
When a manipulation attempt is registered a cursor appears at the top right in the display
next to MAN.
How to reset a manipulation can be freely configured.
77
6.1.2.2 Register entry
Manipulation attempts are shown by the first digit of the installation check register C.86.
The digit 1 indicates manipulation of the meter cover:
The digit 2 indicates a manipulation of the terminal cover:
The digit 4 indicates manipulation from magnetic fields:
There are many different possibilities for resetting the registration entry.
6.1.2.3 Activation of an alarm contact
A manipulation message can be sent to the control centre via an alarm contact and a
meter modem. A manipulation message can also be sent as an Short Message (SMS).
6.1.2.4 Log book entry

6.1.2.4.1 User log book P.200
Every manipulation attempt is registered in the user defined log book P.200. This data
can also be read out via the service table TS. The beginning and end of the last
manipulation is registered and saved with information on the time and date and also the
number of manipulation attempts (provided meter is in the operation condition).
Examples:
P.200(0060120085945)(00002000)()(0) Status: Log book deleted
P.200(0060120114119)(00000008)()(0) Status: Manipulation Terminal cover
P.200(0060120114136)(00000108)()(0) Status: Unauthorised read access, manipulation of the
terminal cover
P.200(0060120114527)(00000108)()(0) Status: Unauthorised read access, manipulation of the
terminal cover
78
6.1.2.4.2 Event log book P.210
In the event log book P.210 every manipulation attempt is saved with a time stamp (start
and end). Every manipiulation is marked accordingly with an event code.
Examples:
P.210(0061124075651)(2000)()(0)
P.210(0061124075938)(3307)()(0) Event 3307: PAR-status deactivated
P.210(0061124080040)(339A)()(0) Event 339A: Housing cover has been closed
P.210(0061124080047)(339B)()(0) Event 339B: Terminal cover has been closed
Furhter events are for example:

23AC Start manipulation terminal cover
33AC End manipulation terminal cover
239B Terminal cover contact has been opened
339B Terminal cover contact has been closed
23AD Start manipulation housing cover

33AD End manipulation housing cover
239A Housing cover contact has been opened
339A Housing cover contact has been closed
23A8 Start manipulation magnetic field

33A8 End manipulation magnetic field
239C Magnetic field sensor is activated
339C Magnetic field sensor in neutral position again
2307 PAR-status activated

3307 PAR-status activated
79
6.2 Overload monitoring
The LZQJ-XC can be equipped with an overload monitoring feature which detects when
the configured overload threshold is exceeded during a measuring period.
Values from 0 to 99.999.999 kW are permitted.
Setting the overload threshold

Open Direct > LZQJ-settings (VDEW2.1)... > Overload threshold
First of all read out the overload threshold set in the meter. Afterwards you can
change the values and write them back into the meter.
The sum of all overranges are saved in the register 1.36.0.01.
The maximum demand register M0 for current consumption P+ 1.4.0 or the register 1.25
for the momentary value for P+ is used as a basis for recognising overconsumption.
When the overconsumption threshold is exceeded a cursor (PWR) is shown in the
display. An alarm contact can also be switched. Information on the overconsumption
threshold can be found in the call-up list and in
table 1.
Figure 37: Diagram - Overconsumption
80
6.3 Installation check register C.86.0
In the installation check register C.86.0 installation errors are saved. The monitored
measured variables result from the instantaneous values. The installation check register
is usually shown in the scrolling list or can be called up via the call-up list. The
installation check register has 32 error flags which are represented by an 8 digit
hexidecimal number. With a correct installation of the meter, the register contains the
value 00000000.

6.4 Network analysis
6.4.1 User load profile P.02
The user load profile P.02 registers and saves measured variables from the network
quality following the EN 50160 standards. With regards to the measured variables and
registration period duration (normally 10 min) the user load profile is completely
independent of the standard load profile P.01.
a. Measuring variables
The following measuring variables are recorded:
Average system voltage Uaverage (L1, L2, L3)
Minimum system voltage Umin (L1, L2, L3)
Maximum system voltage Umax (L1, L2, L3)
Average phase currents Iaverage (L1, L2, L3)
Maximum phase currents Imax (L1, L2, L3)

Optionally in the user load profile other measured variables can also be recorded.
Figure 38: Diagram of additional load profile
b. Memory depths
With the previous example and an exclusive configuration of the user load profile,
the profile P.02 has the following maximum memory depth. With a simultaneous
configuration of the standard load profile P.01 the memory depth decreases.

6.4.2 Voltage quality register C.86.1
In the voltage quality register C.86.1 the over- and underranges of the voltage
parameters are saved. The register can also be used as a status channel in the user
load profile P.02. The limiting values are defined in DIN EN 50160, they can also be
configured to suit customer requirements. From the monitored values the average values
are formed via the registration period of the user load profile P.02. At the end of a
registration period the values are compared with the guidelines and if necessary saved in
the appropriate registers. The voltage quality register has 32 error flags which are
represented by means of an 8 digit hexadecimal number. The sum of all over- and
underranges are saved in the registers C.88.00...31.

It is possible to customise the configuration of the P.211 log book. Up to 32 different

events can be defined and up to 6 registers can be added to each event entry.
Depending on the number of registers, a maximum of 282 entries can be saved.
6.7 Load switching

As an option, the LZQJ-XC can be executed with a switching off relay for switching the
load/power. By means of this, the power supply can be switched on or off at the final
user. There are different cases of application which are described in the following.
6.7.1 Example cases

6.7.1.1 Example case 1
The customer (eg. holiday home owner) swiches the power supply off at the meter on
site using the call-up button. Switching back on also takes place via the call-up button.
In spite of many warnings the customer has not paid their electricity bill. The energy
supplier switches off the power supply to the customer via remote control. After payment
of the bill the power supply is switched back on. The power supplier also reactivates the
meter via remote control. Subsequently the customer can activate the power supply by
operating the call up button.
The customer has agreed a limited power supply with the energy supplier (e.g. P max =
10 kW). If this power threshold is continually exceeded, the meter switches off the load.
Depending on the configuration there are different possibilities to switch it back on:
via a direct command from the energy supplier
via a release command from the energy supplier for the customer to switch it on
manually
via the call-up button by the customer
The customer has agreed a limited power supply with the energy supplier (e.g. P max =
10 kW). If this power threshold is continually exceeded, the meter switches off the load.
The customer has no access to the meter which means that he cannot switch it on again
directly. In this case the meter swiches on the load again automatically after the
disconnection time has lapsed.

6.7.2.2 Load switching via commands
Switching on and off the load using a command takes place via the meters interfaces
(D0, CL0, RS232, RS485, radio).
6.7.2.3 Manual load switching
Release for the manual switching on of the load takes place via the meters interfaces
(D0, CL0, RS232, RS485, radio).
Release can be identified via the display PrESS:On .
The meter can no longer be operated in this condition. By operating the call-up button >
5 s the load is switched back on again. Afterwards the meter can be operated again as
normal.
6.7.2.4 Load switching by means of excess load

6.7.2.4.1 Switching off by means of excess load
When a fixed power threshold is exceeded the load us switched off. This threshold can
be set and saved in the register 1.35.0.01(). In the regiser 1.35.0.02() a forewarning
threshold can be saved. When one of the thresholds is reached, this is signalised in the
display by the sideward cursor PWR. If no thresholds are configured, no power
monitoring takes place.
Threshold monitoring takes place by means of the power instantaneous value 1.25.
Switching off takes place after a fixed lag time as long as the power is exceeded for the
whole of the lag time. If the switching off is successful, OFF appears in the display. The
meter can still be operated.
The power thresholds and the lag time can be set via the meters interfaces (D0, CL0,
RS232, RS485, radio).
6.7.2.4.2 Automatic switching on
If the load is switched off due to power monitoring, this is switched back on again after a
fixed diconnection time. If no disconnection time is configured, the load is not switched
back on automatically.
The disconection time can be set via the meters interfaces (D0, CL0, RS232, RS485,
radio).
6.7.3 Monitoring the switch off condition

If the load is switched off, the meter checks its idle condition. If this is not given after the
switching off, the meter repeats its power down process cyclically. When the idle
condition is fulfilled, OFF appears in the display. If the switching off fails, LOAd Error
appears in the display. Additionally an entry appears in the status register for load
switching C.86.8(). At the same time, a time meter is activated which records the hours
in which the load was connected.
The time meter can only be reset by deleting the measured data. Even if the switching
off fails, the meter can still be operated and commands can be received.
Note: A continuous base load above the meters response threshold is a requirement for
the monitoring function.
88
6.8 Recording external measuring variables
The LZQJ-XC is capable of registering other impulses from reference-, thermal-, water-
or gas meters via 4 impulse inputs. From these inputs, energy values, maximum demand
and load profiles can be formed. These measuring variables can then be read out via the
LZQJ-XC meter.
Figure 40: Application plan - recording load profiles form other media
Figure 41: Diagram - Recording of load profiles from several meters
Pulse counting
In order to avoid incorrect registration of pulses, the minimum pulse length and no-pulse
period can be set in 5ms steps. Furthermore the activating edge (rising or falling) can be
selected. A registered pulse is evaluated by means of a settable pulse constant and a
unit.The quantums which are formed in this way can either be summed among
eachother or added to or subtracted from the measuring variables formed internally in
the meter. When an input pulse constant is changed, an entry is made in the certification
relevant log book P.99 (see 5.2.7 Certification relevant log book (menu option P.99)).
All measuring variables resulting from this are available as an input channel for the
energy- and maximum demand registers and for the load profile formation.
89
Example:
Via the pulse input with the channel number 2, active power proportional pulses are
counted. These are then added to the variables formed in the meter and registered in
separate meter registers with the channel number 13 (see also 8.1 OBIS (Object-
Identification-System)).

7 Certification relevant tests
The PTB Regulations, volume 6 for electricity meters and additional equipment apply.
7.1 Certification- and test mode

Switching of the LED to the energy type which is to be measured takes place:
1) Directly at the meter
Entry into the test mode tESt
Readout of the table with a higher resolution
2) Via optical interface

Call-up the certification- and test mode takes place with the program EMH-
COMBI-MASTER 2000
Readout of the table with a higher resolution
In the meter a register of the energy type to be tested can be called up on the display,
e.g.:
Active import 1.8.1
Active export 2.8.1
Reactive import 3.8.1
Reactive export 4.8.1
Shortened no-load test

LED is continuously lit-up no load, energy direction arrows are not displayed
Shortened start-up test

The LED starts to flash. The energy direction arrows display the measured energy
direction.
7.2 Test load

Test loads for testing meters which have several nominal voltages (long-range) or
1
a nominal voltage range
This test is to be carried out at the upper and lower voltage rate which is specified on the
nameplate, provided no other conditions are specified in the approval.
1
Test loads for testing meters which have two nominal currents
With the test of meters with two nominal currents (e.g. 5||1 A) the lowest test point (5% or
10%) is measured with the smaller nominal current. All other test points are measured
using the higher nominal current.
1
Testing of meters with two energy directions
As long as no other regulations are specified in the approval documents meters which
measure energy in both directions are measured in a way as if two separate meters for
import and export are being dealt with.

8.4 Software
8.4.1 EMH-COM
EMH-COM is a modular developed software which enables communication between a
readout device (e.g. PC or laptop) and EMH meters. The software is designed especially
for starting up the meter, reading out data from the meter and also for changing the basic
settings.
Due to the modular set-up, the software can be tailored directly to the customers
requests.
The most important functions of the programs are:

Reading out of meter data
Graphical load profile display
Setting the clock
Modem function (optional)
Tariff settings for different meter (optional)
Send write command (optional)
8.4.2 EMH-COMBI-MASTER 2000

The EMH-COMBI-MASTER 2000 contains all functions of theEMH-COM program and
allows in addition the configuration of meters from the series LZQJ-XC.
The most important functions of the programs are:

All functions contained in the EMH-COM software
Configuration of meters
Setting of transformer ratios and digitness with transformer meters
Further optional functions such as readout of the network quality and harmonics
98
8.4.3 EMH-Mobile
EMH-Mobile is a mobile and manageable tool for starting up and reading out electricity
meters on location.
EMH-Mobile consists of a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) and an optical
communication adapter (Bluetooth-OKK). With both devices, a wireless communication
is possible via a Bluetooth-interface
Figure 42: EMH-Mobile
The software EMH-Mobile is installed on the PDA for communication with meters.
Special features of the software include Installation check (possible with all EMH
meters with a service table) and also the readout of electronic household meters eHZ.
Via the Installation check the meter connection can be easily checked. Connection
errors can therefore be detected on location.

The optical communication adapter OKK enables communication between a readout

device (e.g. PC or laptop) and EMH meters. On the meter the connection is to the optical
data interface D0 and on the PC, depending on the version, the connection is to a COM-
port or to a USB interface.
Connection of the OKK:

Connect the optical communication adapter OKK to a free COM-Port or a free USB
interface on your PC. If you have an OKK with USB connection then a special USB
driver must be installed. The driver can be found on the CD-ROM which is included in
the delivery with the OKK. Tips for the installation of the driver can also be found on the
CD-ROM.
Note: Before communication can take place with the meter the interface must be
configured under Setting > Program settings... >. (see 8.5.3.1 General settings).
8.5.2.2 Communication via electrical interface
Communication with the meter via the connection PC-modem-meter modem (remote
meter read out) requires the definition of some parameters (see 8.5.3.2 Modem).
101
8.5.3 Basic settings before communication
8.5.3.1 General settings
Once the optical communication adapter or modem line has been set up correctly you
still need to set the correct settings in EMH-COMBI-MASTER 2000:
COM-Port, to which to an OKK is connected
Baud rate
Login-password
W5-password
Meter address
Click Setting > Program settings... > General
Port Setting the COM-Port when using an optical communication adapter OKK.
Note: In order to determine the COM-Port when using an OKK with USB connection take
a look at Start > Settings > System control > System-[Hardware]-Device manager.
Further information on this can be found on the CD-ROM which is included in the
delivery of the optical communication adapter.
Baud rate Setting the interface speed

Note: When using an OKK you should always use Mode C.
Bluetooth OKK Activate this checkbox when using a Bluetooth-OKK.
Login-password Input of the login-password

With activation a password is sent to the meter when logging in. The password is saved
encoded together with the program settings.
W5-password Input of the W5-password

Certain set commands (e.g. setting the clock, writing identity numbers) are only sent to
the meter together with the W5 password. The pre-setting 00000000 only has to be
changed if a different password was agreed on.
102
Meter-address Input of the meter-address
This information is only necessary if the meter has a meter-address. The meter-address
only applies to the meters electrical interface and therefore is only used with a remote
readout or a special solution. The meter-address can by found by reading out the service
table. The OBIS code for the meter-address is 0.0.0.
8.5.3.2 Modem settings
To be able to communicate with the meter via a modem line the following settings must
be made:
Entry of the name and telephone number
Definition of the PC-modem
Definition of the meter modem (if necessary with password)
Click Setting > Program settings... > Modem
Field Phone number Entry of the telephone number of the meter modem which is to be called.
Note: If a number for an outside line is necessary (often with telephone sets), this must
be at the front of the telephone number. Then enter a w. The w causes a short dialing
break after reaching the network before dealing further. If w does not operate properly
then please contact the telephone administrator and ask for the interval signal.
To insert a new row click on New.

In order to delete a row click on the row and then on Delete.
Local modem Selection of the PC modem

The modems which are most frequently used are included in the list. If your modem is
not listed then select the setting allg. Hayes-Modem;AT&FE0X3. This setting functions
with most types of modems.
103
Field meter modem selection Selection of the meter modem
EMH-COMBI-MASTER 2000 supports meter modems from the manufacturer Dr.

Neuhaus (ZDUE), Grlitz (ENC 280), Elster (DM 100) and EMH (Sparkline II,
VARIOMOD) and others.
As a rule, for simple, transparent modems it is sufficient to activate Auto-Transparent
modem.
In the field Modem-Timeout 90 s are entered as a standard. This information causes the
program to automatically interrupt the connection if it is faulty. It is not recommended to
select a smaller value. For meter modems with a password protection, the password can
be entered in the field Modem password. If there is no password activated in the meter
modem, the field stays empty.
8.5.3.3 Setting date and time
