meter can be found in:

MT860, Technical Description,

MeterView 4: Users manual.

WARNING!
The meter installation must be performed by
authorized persons, who are familiar with security
against electric current stroke. Feed-through
terminals and auxiliary terminals are under
voltage that can be lethal!

1.3. Module terminals 1.5. Display

In addition to the meter terminal block also each
module has its own terminals.
Connection diagram for modules is stuck on the
module itself and inside the terminal block cover.
The liquid crystal matrix-dot display with 4x20
characters enables complex and clear display of
different data, messages and events. Depending to
meter mode different information is shown. Displayed
data is identified with OBIS IEC 62056-61.

Meters have back-light illumination for easy data

reading at metering place with bad light condition.
The LCD is illuminated when any pushbutton is
pressed. The illumination is switched-off after 3
minutes if no pushbutton was pressed at that time.

1.4. Power supply Standard meter status indicators are:

In operation, meter is supplied from:
L123 Phase voltage detection, blinking
multi-range internal power supply from mains, incorrect phase sequence.
external power supply (50-230 V AC/DC) or A+, A- Active energy direction
both. R+, R- Reactive energy direction
Tx Valid tariff for energy
With a internal supply at least one phase must be IM Blinking, un-recognized module

2. Installation 2.1. Wiring

To install meter follow next steps:
1 - Adjust hook height to fit installation position of the
meter. Sliding hanger enables installation for all fixing
dimensions, from 165 to 230 mm.
The meters can be wired via CT or CT/VT in three-
phase 3 or 4-wire networks. Connection diagram for
meter and modules is stuck inside the terminal block
cover.

Fig. 9: Adjustable hook at meter back

2 - Fasten the meter to the measuring spot by three

screws.

Fig. 10: Screw positions

3 - Connect measuring, input and output circuits and

communication cables in conformity with the
connection diagram stuck inside the terminal block
cover on the meter and modules.

4- Install the terminal block cover and fasten it by two

screws. Seal the terminal block cover screws by wire
and seal.
Fig. 11: 3 wire and 4 wire meter connection
5- If you wish to have the reset key locked, hang up
the overhang and lock it up. The overhang hole
diameter is 5 mm.

6 - Power-up the meter. By connecting to the voltage,

the light emitting diodes illuminate and measuring
data from the AUTO data sequence are cyclically
shown on the display.

3. Checking the meter 3.5. Display

3.1. Voltages
If all three symbols (L123) are displayed, it means
that all three phase voltages are present.
Any not displayed symbol (L1, 2 or 3) shows this
phase voltage failure.
LCD test mode is used to check if all LCD dots are
displayed.
When scroll button is depressed in auto mode,
display is illuminated and all segments (dots) of the
LCD blink.

If symbols L123 pulse, it means a wrong phase

sequence. In this case it is required to change the
cables phase sequence, otherwise the reactive
energy is registered in the wrong quadrant. The
phase sequence does not impact on measurement Fig. 13: LCD test, all dots are displayed
and registration of the active energy.

3.2. Statuses 4. Handling

Display is menu driven and is handling by pressing
Meter has many different statuses to indicate errors.
one pushbutton at time (one-hand handling).
Check for:
Employed menu is controlled by two pushbuttons on
the meter front side:
IM Blinking, un-recognized module
CM Blinking, un-recognized module
scroll (black),
F Fatal error
reset (red, sealed).
In a case of fatal error check the value of F.F.
register. Binary or hexadecimal value of F.F. register
describes the cause of the error.

3.3. Resetting cover status

If the meter or terminal cover is removed while meter
is running status M or T will be displayed on LCD. Fig. 14: Meter buttons
Event will be written in logbook.
Each button has three activation times:
Statuses M and T will be displayed on LCD for 10
min. or until reset button is pressed and held for time short, up to 1 second,
longer than 2 s. long, 1-3 seconds,
extended, more than 3 seconds.
3.4. Load
If no load or lower than the meter sensitivity Principles of the meter handling and data displaying
threshold, the light emitting diodes illuminate without described in this chapter are shown in Fig. 16:
interruption, and the power flow direction symbols or
quadrant respectively pulse.

If the load is higher than the meter sensitivity

threshold, the light emitting diodes pulse with a
frequency proportional to the load and the power flow
direction symbols and quadrant are shown on the
display.
