You have purchased an advanced, versatile, multifunction power meter. This meter
can work as a remote terminal unit (RTU) that contributes to your system's stability
and reliability by providing real-time power quality monitoring and analysis.
When you open the package, you will find the following items
The Acuvim II series multifunction digital power meter is designed using modern
MCU and DSP technology. It integrates three-phase energy measuring and
displaying, energy accumulating, power quality analysis, malfunction alarming,
data logging and network communication. A vivid LCD display with large
characters and, time of use programmable backlight provides a clear realtime data
readout.
An Ideal for Electric Automation SCADA Systems
The Acuvim II series meter is the ideal choice for replacing traditional, analog
electric meters. In additon to providing clear real-time readings on the meter
front, it can also be used as a remote terminal unit (RTU) for monitoring and
controlling for a SCADA system. Users can access all measurement parameters via
the standard RS485 communication port (or the optional Ethernet port) with the
ModbusTM protocol.
Energy Management
The Acuvim II series meter is able to measure bidirectional, four quadrants kWh
and kvarh. It provides maximum/minimum records for power usage and power
demand parameters. All power and energy parameters can be viewed remotely
via software in order to easily monitor various parameters. In addition,
measurement tables can be viewed from the free Acuview software.
Remote Power Control
This meter is designed for measuring and monitoring power quality parameters.
Since different I/O modules can be added to the meter, this expands the
capabilities and provides a very flexible platform for using the meter as a
distributed RTU, for metering, monitoring and remote controlling, all in one unit.
Utilizing digital signal processing (DSP) technology, the Acuvim II series meter
provides high accuracy power quality analysis and supports remote monitoring via
the Ethernet module. The meter continuously updates metering results and allows
users to access the meter online to monitor parameters such as voltage and
current THD, harmonics, voltage crest factor, current K factor, and voltage and
current unbalance factor etc.
Data Logging
The Acuvim IIR/IIE/IIW meter contains 8 megabytes of onboard memory for data
logging and historical trending. Since the meter contains a real-time clock, all
events and logged data will be time stamped.
Time of use (TOU-Acuvim IIE)
User can assign up to 4 different tariffs (sharp, peak, valley and normal) to
different time period within a day according to the billing requirements. The meter
will calculate and accumulate energy to different tariffs according to the meter’s
internal clock timing and TOU settings.
Power Quality Event Logging
When a power quality event happens, such as voltage sag and swell, etc, Acuvim
IIW will record the timestamp and the triggering condition of the event. It can save
up to 50, 000 power quality events.
Waveform Capture
Acuvim IIW contains another 8 megabytes of on board memory for power quality
event logging and waveform capture. Acuvim IIW can record 100 groups of voltage
and current waveforms. It logs at 64 points per cycle. It provides the waveform
record of 10 cycles before and after the triggering point. It also supports a settable
triggering condition.
Acuvim II meters provide powerful data collecting and processing functions. In
addition to measuring various parameters, the meter is able to perform
demand metering, harmonic analysis, max/min statistic recording, over/under
limit alarming, energy accumulating and data logging.
High Accuracy
Accuracy of Voltage and Current is 0.2%, True-RMS. Accuracy of Power and
Energy is 0.2%, while monitoring all four quadrants.
Compact and Easy to Install
This meter can be installed into a standard ANSI C39.1 (4” Round) or an IEC
92mm DIN (Square) cut out. With the 51mm depth after mounting, the
Acuvim II series meter can be installed in a small cabinet. Mounting clips are
used for easy installation and removal.
Easy to Use
All metering data and setting parameters can be accessed by using the front
panel keys or via the communication port. Setting parameters are stored in
the EEPROM so that content will be preserved when the meter is powered
off.

including terminals, and any connected CTs (Current Transformers) and PTs (Potential
Transformers), all I/O (Inputs and Outputs) modules and their circuits. All primary and
secondary circuits can, at times, produce lethal voltages and currents. AVOID contact with
any current-carrying surfaces.
The meter and its I/O output channels are NOT designed as primary protection devices
and shall NOT be used as primary circuit protection or in an energy limiting capacity. The
meter and its I/O output channels can only be used as secondary protection. AVOID using
the meter under situations where failure of the meter may cause injury or death. AVOID
using the meter for any application where risk of fire may occur.
All meter terminals should be inaccessible after installation.
Do NOT perform Dielectric (HIPOT) test to any inputs, outputs or communication
terminals. High voltage testing may damage electronic components of the meter.
Applying more than the maximum voltage the meter and/or its modules can withstand will
permanently damage the meter and/or its modules. Please refer to the specifications for
all devices before applying voltages.
When removing meter for service, use shorting blocks and fuses for voltage leads and
power supply to prevent hazardous voltage conditions or damage to CTs. CT grounding is

1. Standard: 100~415Vac (50/60Hz) or 100-300Vdc
2. Low Voltage DC Option: 20-60Vdc
The 2 options must be chosen according to the
application. Please see the ordering information
appendix for further details.
The meter's typical power consumption is very low
and can be supplied by an independent source or
by the measured load line. A regulator or an
uninterrupted power supply (UPS) should be used
under high power fluctuation conditions. Terminals
for the control power supply are 11, 12 and 13 (L,
N, and Ground). A switch or circuit-breaker shall be
included in a building installation. It shall be in close
proximity to the equipment, within easy reach of
the operator, and shall be marked as the
disconnecting device for the equipment.
NOTE
Make sure the control
power terminal of the meter
ground is connected to the
safety Earth of switchgear.
NOTE
Make sure the voltage of
power supply is the same as
what the meter needed for
its control power.
A fuse (typical 1A/250Vac) should be used in the auxiliary power supply loop. No.13 terminal

filter should be used in the control power supply loop if there is a power quality problem in
the power supply.
Choice of wire of power supply is AWG22-16 or 0.6-1.5mm2.
Voltage Input
Maximum input voltage for the Acuvim II series meter shall not exceed 400LN/690LL VAC rms
for three phase or 400LN VAC rms for single phase. Potential Transformer (PT) must be used
for high voltage systems. Typical secondary output for PTs shall be 100V or 120V. Please make
sure to select an appropriate PT to maintain the measurement accuracy of the meter. When
connecting using the star configuration wiring method, the PT's primary side rated voltage
should be equal to or close to the phase voltage of the system to utilize the full range of the
PT. When connecting using the delta configuration wiring method, the PT's primary side rated
voltage should be equal to or close to the line voltage of the system. A fuse (typical
1A/250Vac) should be used in the voltage input loop. The wire for voltage input is AWG16-12
or 1.3-2.0mm2.
Note: In no circumstance should the secondary of the PT be shorted. The secondary of the PT
should be grounded at one end. Please refer to the wiring diagram section for further details.
Current Input
Current Transformers (CTs) are required in most engineering applications. Typical current
rating for the secondary side of the CT shall be 5A (standard) or 1A (Optional), please refer to
the ordering information appendix for further details. CTs must be used if the system rated
current is over 5A. The accuracy of the CT should be better than 0.5% with rating over 3VA is
recommended in order to preserve the meter's accuracy. The wire between CTs and the
meter shall be as short as possible.
The length of the wire has an effect on the accuracy. The wire size of current input is AWG1510 or 1.5-2.5mm2.
Note: The secondary side of the CT should not be open circuit in any circumstance when the
power is on. There should not be any fuse or switch in the CT loop. One end of the CT loop
should be connected to the ground.
Vn Connection
Vn is the reference point of the Acuvim II series meter voltage input. Low wire resistance
helps improve the measurement accuracy. Different system wiring 20 modes require
different Vn connection methods. Please refer to the wiring diagram section for more details.
Three Phase Wiring Diagram
This meter can satisfy almost any kind of three phase wiring diagrams. Please read this section
carefully before choosing the suitable wiring method for your power system.
Voltage and current input wiring mode can be set separately in the meter parameter setting
process. The voltage wiring mode can be set as 3-phase 4-line Wye (3LN), 3-phase 3-line direct
connection(3LL), 3-phase 3-line open delta(2LL), single phase 2-line(1LN) and single phase 3line(1LL). The current input wiring mode can be set as 3CT, 2CT and 1CT. The voltage mode
can be grouped with the current mode as 3LN-3CT (3CT or 2CT, 3LL-3CT, 2LL-3CT, 2LL2CT,
1LL-2CT, 1LN-1CT).
2.3.3 Voltage Input Wiring
3-Phase 4-Line Wye Mode (3LN)
The 3-Phase 4-Line wye mode is commonly used in low voltage electric distribution power
systems. For voltage lower than 400LN/690LL Vac, power line can be connected directly
to the meter's voltage input terminal as shown in Fig 2-9a. For high voltage systems (over
400LN/690LL Vac), PTs are required as shown in Fig 2-9b. The meter should be set to 3LN
for both voltage levels.
In a 3-Phase 3-Line system, power line A, B and C are connected to V1, V2 and V3
directly. Vn is floated. The voltage input mode of the meter should be set to 3LL.
Open delta wiring mode is often used in high voltage systems. V2 and Vn are
connected together in this mode. The voltage input mode of the meter should be set
to 2LL for this voltage input wiring mode.
The 3CT current wiring configuration can be used when either 3CTs are connected (as
shown in Fig 2-12) or 2CTs are connected (as shown in Fig 2-13) 23 to the system. In
either case, there is current flowing through all three current terminals.
The difference between Fig 2-14 and Fig 2-15 is that no current flows through current
input terminal I21 and I22. The meter should be set to the I2 value which is calculated
from formula i1+i2+i3=0. The current input mode of the meter should be set to 2CT.
In this section, the most common voltage and current wiring combinations are shown in
different diagrams. In order to display measurement readings correctly, please select the
appropriate wiring diagram according your setup and application.
Acuvim II series meter uses RS485 serial communication and the ModbusRTU protocol.
The terminals of communication are A, B, and S (14, 15, 16). A is differential signal +, B is
differential signal - and S is connected to the shield of the twisted pair cables. Up to 32
devices can be connected on a RS485 bus. Use good quality shielded twisted pair cable,
AWG22 (0.5mm2) or higher. The overall length of the RS485 cable connecting all devices
should not exceed 1200m (4000ft). The Acuvim II series meter is used as a slave device of
masters such as a PC, PLC, Data Collector or RTU.
If the master does not have RS485 communication port, a converter (such as a
RS232/RS485 or a USB/RS485 converter) will be required. Typical RS485 network
topologies include line, circle and star (wye). The shield of each segment of the RS485 cable
must be connected to the ground at one end only.
Every A(+) should be connected to A(+), B(-) to B(-), or it will influence the network, or even
damage the communication interface.
The connection topology should avoid “T” type which means there is a new branch and it
does not begin from the beginning point.
Keep communication cables away from sources of electrical noise whenever possible.
When using a long communication cable to connect several devices, an anti-signal
reflecting resistor (typical value 120Ω-300Ω/0.25W) is normally added to the end of the
cable beside the last meter if the communication quality is distorted.
Use RS232/RS485 or USB/RS485 converter with optical isolated output and surge
protection.
Detailed human-machine interface of the meter will be described in this chapter. This
includes viewing real-time metering data and setting parameters using different key
combination.

Key functions for setting the I/O module parameter:
DI of AXM-IO-1 can be used as the pulse counter, each DI function
corresponds to one bit of a 6-bit register. The correspondence bit of
0 means that the DI works as the digital status input and the
correspondence bit of 1 means that the DI works as the pulse
counter. For example, if the setting value is 000001, it means that DI1
is set as the pulse counter and other Dis work as digital status inputs.
If the DI works as a pulse counter, when the number of pulses
counted by the DI equals to the pulse constant, the pulse counter will
increase by one. This means that the actual pulse number equals the
number pulses counted multiplied by the pulse constant.
Relays of AXM-IO1 can be used as alarm output or control output.
ALM:alarm output; control output.
When set as control output, relays have two control methods: latch
or pulse.

Note: The figure shows the rolling sequence for using key P. If using E key for rolling page,
the sequence will reverse. BACnet IP module rolling sequence:
Yes: Alarm enable; No: Alarm disable
It can be selected as cue signal for alarming. Yes: backlight
flashes upon alarm condition; No: no backlight flashing
There are 16 alarm channels available. Each channel is
controlled and enabled 1 bit each from a 16-bit register. Bit
value of 1 means that the corresponding alarm channel is
enabled whereas 0 means that the channel is disabled. The
meter will display the value of this 16-bit register in decimal
numbers (for different channel combination). For example,
00000 means that all channels are disabled; 00001 means only
the first channel is enabled; 65535 means that all channels are
enabled. Refer to section 4.4 on page 65 for more details.
"AND" logic relationship can be set among channels. When an
"AND" logic is in place, both channels have to be triggered
before the meter sends out the alarm signal. The logic can be
set according to the predefined rule (refer to section 4.4 for
more details). User can setup up to 8 logic relationships for
alarming. Each logic relationship is controlled and enabled 1 bit
each from a 16-bit register (only the lower 8 bits are used). Bit
value of 1 means that the corresponding logic relationship is
enabled whereas 0 means that the relationship is disabled. The
meter will display this 8-bit value in decimal numbers (for
different relationship combination). For example, 000 means
that all relationships are disabled; 001 means only the first
relationship is enabled; 255 means that all relationships are
enabled.
When DO1 works in alarming mode, a 16-bit register is used to
control which channels are associated with this output. Similar
to the alarm channel selection, this 16-bit value is expressed in
decimal when reading on the meter front. For example, 00000
means that no alarm channels are associated to this output;
00001 means that alarm channel 1 is associated to DO1; 65535
means that all alarm channels are associated to DO1. Refer to
section 4.4 for more details.
If 2 AXM-IO2 modules are attached to the meter, DO1 and DO2
denote to the first and the second DO channel of AXM-IO21;
DO3 and DO4 denote to the first and the second DO channel of
AXMIO22 respectively. DO2, DO3 and DO4 use the same setup
method as DO1.
Note: The figure shows the rolling sequence for using key P. If using E for rolling page, the

3.8 Page Recovery Function
Acuvim II series meter has a page recovery function. This means that the meter stores
current display page in the non-volatile memory upon power loss and reloads the
page when power recovers. If power goes off when viewing under the parameter
setting mode, the meter will show voltage display when power recovers. If power goes
off when viewing under the expanded I/O module data mode, and if this expanded
I/O module is not connected when power recovers, the meter will show the voltage
display page instead.
The Acuvim II series meter contains advanced metering tools and is able to measure a
multitude of power, energy and power quality parameters. Some advanced functions may
not be accessible directly from the meter front; therefore, every meter comes with a powerful
software that helps access the information. This chapter introduces these functions and the
software.
4.1 Basic Analog Measurements
Acuvim II series meter can measure voltage, current, power, frequency, power factor,
demand, etc. With high accuracy, as shown via the software below:
This meter consists of several types of demand calculation: total active power demand, total
reactive power demand, total apparent power demand, phase A current demand, phase B
current demand, and phase C current demand. When demand is reset, demand memory
registers are set as 0.
Demand calculating mode can be set as sliding window and thermal according to user. The
Fig 4-7 shows how it works.
When using the sliding window interval method, user selects an interval from 1 to 30 minutes,
which is the period of the calculation. The demand updates every 1 minute as the window
slides once.
Thermal demand method calculates the demand based on a thermal response which mimics
a thermal demand meter. User selects the period for the calculation and the demand updates
at the end of each period.
Energy:
This meter measures and accumulates energy in different directions (import and export). For
real-time energy monitoring, it accumulates energy for kWh, kvarh and kVAh continuous
(since its last reset).
Calculating mode
1. User can select different energy calculating modes, fundamental based or full-wave based
either from the meter front or via communication. Fundamental based calculating is used to
accumulate energy without taking harmonics into consideration while full-wave based
calculating is used to accumulate energy including fundamental and harmonics.
Note: 1) When fundamental based calculating mode is selected, PF calculation will be
based on the fundamental wave.
2)When selecting 400Hz type, only support full-wave.
2. There are two ways to calculate reactive energy (power)
Mode 0: real reactive energy
Mode 1: general reactive energy
3. User can choose primary energy or secondary energy either by pressing keys from the
meter front or via communication as shown in Fig 4-7.
Note: Acuvim II is able to display either primary energy or secondary energy on the LCD
screen; however, it is only able to send out pulses according to secondary energy via the AXMIO module.
Under normal circumstances, current flows from input terminal 1 to terminal 2 (i.e. from I11
to I12 for phase A current); however, current may flow in the opposite direction due to
incorrect wiring setup. Instead of rewiring the system, the meter provides users an option to
reverse the polarity of the current. By default, current direction is set as "positive", to reverse
the current polarity by 180 degrees, user can set current direction as "negative". Refer to Fig
4-7 for more details.
Acuvim II series meter logs maximum and minimum value statistics for phase/ line
voltages, current, power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor, frequency,
demand, unbalance factor, THD as well as the time they occur. All data is stored in nonvolatile memory so that statistic information can be preserved even when meter is shut
off. All maximum and minimum data can be accessed via communication or from the
meter front but time stamps can only be accessed via communication. Statistics can be
cleared via communication or from the meter front.
4.3 Harmonics and Power Quality Analysis
1. Harmonics
Acuvim II series meter can measure and analyze THD, harmonics support 2nd to 63rd,
even HD, odd HD, crest factor, THFF, K factor etc. They are shown in Fig 4-2.
Note: When selecting 400Hz type, only support 2nd~15th harmonics;
2. Phase angle
Phase angle indicates the angle between phase A voltage and other voltage/ current
parameters. Angle ranges from 0 to 360 degrees. This function is to help users find out
the relationship between all input signals avoiding wrong wiring. When it is set to “2LL”
or “3LL”, it gives out the phase angles of u23, u31, i1, i2, i3 corresponding to u12. When
it is set to “3LN”, it gives out the phase angles of u2, u3, i1, i2 and i3 corresponding to u1.
When it is set to “1LL”, it gives out the phase angles of u2, i1, i2 corresponding to u1.
They are shown in Fig 4-4.
3. Sequence component and unbalance analysis
Acuvim II series meter is able to perform sequential analysis for the input signal. It looks
at the positive sequence, negative sequence and zero sequence of 73 the fundamental
frequency and performs unbalance analysis for voltage and current. Sequence
components are shown in Fig 4-4, unbalance of voltage and current are shown in Fig 4-
Acuvim II series meter has over/under limit alarming capabilites. When the monitored
parameter goes over/under the preset limit and stays at the level over the preset amount
of time delay, the over/under limit alarm will be triggered. The over/under limit value and
its time stamp will be recorded in the 74-alarming log. The meter can record up to 16
alarming records. When extended I/O modules are attached, digital outputs (DO) and relay
outputs (RO) can be triggered upon alarm conditions and used to activate downstream
devices such as a beacon light or a buzzer.
Before using the alarming function, alarm conditions such as logic dependency, target
setpoint, time delay etc must be set correctly. Settings can be accessed and modified from
the software via communication connection as shown in Fig 4-5.
Parameter code: select target parameter for alarm monitoring for example: 0-frequency, 44AI4 sampling data.
Comparison mode: set alarming condition 1: greater than, 2: equal to, 3: smaller than. For
example: if you choose target parameter to be "frequency", condition to be "greater than"
and setpoint to be "50", alarm will be triggered when the frequency is greater than 50Hz.
Note: setpoint value is the same as the actual value of the selected parameter.
Delay time: If the alarms condition lasts for the preset time period, the alarm signal will be
triggered. The delay range is from 0 to 3000 (unit: 10ms). When it is set to 0, there is no delay,
alarm will be triggered when the alarm condition is met. If it is set to 20, there will be a 200ms
(20 x 10ms) delay. Output to relay: 0-alarming signal will not be sent to RO; if it is set as 1 and
AXMIO11 is connected, it will output to RO1 when alarm triggers. RO1 will be turned off when
all alarms output to RO1 are cleared. RO2~RO8 work in the same manner as RO1.
Note: 1) If RO is under alarming mode, it can only work in “latch” mode. 2) If the number is
51~79, there are special guide for contrast method and meaning of parameters, please refer
to Chapter 6. After setting up the alarming parameters, user must also setup the global
settings in order for the alarm to work properly.
2. Global settings
Register addresses for global alarm settings are from 1046H~104DH. Please refer to section
5.3, page 95 "Global alarming settings" for more details.
“Global alarming enable” determines whether the alarming function of the meter is activated
or not. The alarming function is enabled when it is set as "1".
When “Alarming flash enable“ is set as “1”, backlight will flash when alarm is triggered.
“Alarming channel enable setting” determines whether the corresponding alarm group is
enabled or not. There are 16 groups in all and each one is corresponding to one bit of a 16bit register. The corresponding bit must be set to "1" in order to activate the alarm channel.
Logic "AND" between alarm setting: The 16 alarming records in the meter are divided into 8
pairs. Each pair has two alarm groups. The two groups can be logically “AND” by controlling
the logic check box. When two groups are “AND”, alarming triggers only if both AND
conditions are met. If the "AND" logic box is unchecked, the two alarm channels will work
independently.
The 8 "AND" logic pairs are arranged as follows: 1st, 2nd channel form Pair 1; 3rd, 4th channel
form Pair 2; 5th, 6th channel form Pair 3; 7th, 8th channel form Pair 4; 9rd, 10th channel form
Pair 5; 11th, 12th channel form Pair 6; 13th, 14th channel form Pair 7; 15th, 16th channel form
Pair 8.
This function is controlled by the lower 8 bits of the 16-bit register and each bit is
corresponding to a pair. “1” means this function is enabled and “0” means disabled.
“Alarming output to DO1 setting”: When “Digital output mode” is set to “1”, DO1 can be used
as alarming output. A 16-bit register is used to perform this function, its bit0~bit15
correspond to the 1st ~16th group respectively. When the related I/O module is connected
and is under alarming mode, and if the corresponding bit is set to 1 and the alarming condition
is met, alarm signal will be sent to DO1. DO1 will be turned off when all alarms correspond to
DO1 are cleared. If related bit is set to 0, that alarm channel will not issue alarm signal to DO1.
DO2~DO4 work in the same manner DO1.
After completing the setup steps correctly, alarming function can be used.
3. Setting Example
Here is an example showing how to apply the logic "AND" function for a pair of alarm
channels.
The conditions are as follows: I1 greater than 180A, delay 5s for the 1st alarm channel; U1
less than 9980V, delay 10s for the 2nd alarm channel. No alarm signals will be sent to outputs.
The CT primary value of I1 is 200A, and CT2 is 5A. The PT ratio for U1 is 10000:100. The
following shows how all the related registers are to be set.
Settings of first group:
“Parameter code (104EH)” is set to 9, which stands for I1.
“Comparison mode (104FH)” is set to 1, which stands for "greater than".
“Setpoint value (1050H)” is set to 4500, according to the relationship between actual
value and communication value (I=Rx * (CT1/CT2) /1000). 78
“Delay time (1051H)” is set to 500, so the actual delay time is 500*10ms=5s.
“Output to relay (1052H)” is set to 0, because there is no output to RO.
Settings of second group:
“Parameter code (1053H)” is set to 1, which stands for U1.
“Comparison mode (1054H)” is set to 3, which stands for "smaller than".
“Setpoint value (1055H)” is set to 998, according to the relationship between actual
value and communication value (U=Rx X (PT1/PT2) /10).
“Delay time (1056H)” is set to 1000, so the actual delay time is 1000*10ms=10s.
“Output to relay (1057H)” is set to 0, because there is no output to RO.
Global settings:
“Alarming channel enable setting (1048H)” set to 0003H to enable the first and the
second channel.
“Logic "AND" between alarming setting (1049H)” set to 0001H to enable logic "AND"
in Pair 1.
“Alarming output to DO1 setting (104AH)” set to 0, since no output to DO1.
“Alarming output to DO2 setting (104BH)” set to 0.
“Alarming output to DO3 setting (104CH)” set to 0.
“Alarming output to DO4 setting (104DH)” set to 0.
“Alarming flash enable (1047H)” set to 0 to disable backlight flashing when alarming
occurs.
“Global alarming enable (1046H)” set to 1 to enable over/under limit alarming.
4. Records of Alarming Event
Acuvim II series meter has built in alarm logging capabilities. 16 entries can be recorded in
total. The record sequence of these entries do not depend on the sequence of the 16 alarm
channels. The meter begins logging alarm status starting from the 1st record location to the
last one. Alarm logs are being recorded in a "cycle" fashion which means the latest event will
overwrite the oldest record. When over/under limit parameters return to normal, its value
and time stamp will be recorded as well. Therefore, users can determine the over/ under limit
duration by checking the time difference.
Here is the 1st group of records. Other groups of records have the same format.
“Alarming status” indicates information of current alarm status. It is a 16-bit unsigned integer.
Parameter code is stored in the higher 8 bits. Bit1 indicates whether logic "AND" is enabled
or not, 1 means enabled and 0 means not. Bit0 indicates whether alarming has occured or
recovered, 1 means occurred and 0 means recovered. Undefined bits are 0.
“Parameter code” specifies the monitored parameter.
“Value” shows the recorded value of the selected parameter when an alarm is triggered and
when it recovers.
“Time” indicates the time stamp with the accuracy in milliseconds (ms).
Alarming event will set bit0 of “system status (102EH)” to be 1. When software sends clear
alarm command, Bit0 of “system status (102EH)” will be set to 0.
Alarming group number (1032H): the range is 0~16, 0 is no alarm record, and others stand
for which record is newest alarm. Alarming group number can be saved during meter power
off, and it is cycling recording.
The Acuvim IIR/IIE/IIW meter provides data logging that records the data at a set interval.
This meter has 8 MegaBytes of memory which gives it extensive datalogging capabilities.
It has a real-time clock that allows logs to be time-stamped when log events are created.
1. Data log settings
The Acuvim IIR/IIE/IIW meter has three sets of historical data logs. Each log can be
independently programmed with individual settings, meaning that each can be used to
monitor different parameters. You can program up to 117 parameters per log. You also
have the ability to allocate available system resources among the three logs, to increase
or decrease the size of the individual historical logs. The total size is no more than 100
sectors that has 64k bytes. The data log 1 setting is shown in Fig 4-8.
Having three sets of historical logs provides you with the option of programming each log
with unique parameters. For example, you can program Historical Log 1 to record measured
values parameters (for example, Frequency, Voltage, Current), Log 2 to record energy values
parameters, and Log 3 to record power quality parameters. Historical Log parameters can be
selected from the following thirteen groups:
• Real-Time Metering (Frequency; Instantaneous Voltage; Instantaneous Current; Total
and Per Phase Power and Power Factor; Neutral Current; unbalance V/I; load type;
Current demand; and Per Phase/ Total Power demand)
• THD IC (THD, average THD, 2nd-63rd Harmonic Magnitudes, ODD, EVEN, KF of IC)
• Sequence Component (positive, negative and zero sequence)
• Phase Angles (the angle between U1 and other voltage and current parameters.)
• DI Counter (the DI numbers of the IO modules)
• AO/AI Raw Value (the AO output register values and the AI sample register values)
• AO/AI Value (the AO output values and the AI sample values)
The following procedures show how to select and store parameters in historical log 1. The
Group field determines the items that are available for selection.
1) Select a Group. The possible selections are: Real-Time Metering, Energy, THD Volts
AN/AB, THD Volts BN/BC, THD Volts CN/CA, THD IA, THD IB, THD IC, Sequence Component,
Phase Angles, DI Counter, AO/AI Raw Value and AO/AI Value.
2) Select items for your log:
a. Highlight the parameter(s) you want to log into the meter's memory. b. Click Add to add
the parameter to the Selected Parameter Area. c. To remove parameter(s), highlight them
in the Selected Parameter Area and click Remove.
3) Set the logging interval (in minutes). Interval can be set from 0 - 1444 minutes according
to different application.
The logging interval determines when the meter takes a snapshot. When interval is set as
0, the set of historical data log is disabled.
4) There are 100 sectors in total for the 3 historical data logs. User can assign different
sector size to each log according to different applications (as long as the total sector sizes
of the 3 logs do not exceed 100).
5) Three Modes of historical log:
A. Mode1: if correctly set historical log, can record without setting date and time,
depending on first-in first-out recycling log.
B. Mode2: if correctly set historical log, as set date and time, can record within begin to
end time. Record will stop after buffer is full.
C. Mode3: if correctly set historical log, as set hour and minute, only can record while the
running time is equal to setting hour and minute, depending on firstin first-out recycling
log.
NOTES:
• If the memory of the historical data log is full, the meter will erase the first sector in
which the memory size is 65536 bytes (64kb). The following sector (the second sector)
will become the first sector and the data from the erased sector will not be recoverable.
Therefore, user should save the whole log before memory is full to maintain all the data.
• There are two display fields at the bottom of the data log setting screen. They show the
registers in the logs, the total bytes used and the bytes remaining for this historical log.
These fields are updated as you make selections on the screen. The total number of
bytes available per log record is approximately 234.
There are two ways of retrieving the logs: "read one window" and "read all". The
retrieval screen is shown in Fig 4-9.
Fig 4-9 Retrieval screen
The "read one window" method allows you to access and read a specific log location at an
offset from the first log. The "window record num" is the maximum number of record
entries the software can read at a time, it is calculated by 246 / Record Size. The larger this
number is, the faster data can be retrieved. Log type is the logs you want to retrieve, for
example, log type 0 is data logging 1, log type 1 is data logging 2 and log type 2 is data
logging 3. The "read all" method accesses and reads the historical data log automatically,
the offset increases automatically until all the logs are retrieved.
The data logs contents are shown at the bottom of the page.
User can assign up to 4 different tariffs (sharp, peak, valley and normal) to different time
period within a day according to the billing requirements. The meter will calculate and
accumulate energy to different tariffs according to the meter’s internal clock timing and
TOU settings.
TOU setting: User can set a maximum of 12 TOU seasons, each season can be assigned to
a TOU schedule (a maximum of 14 TOU schedules are available). Each schedule can be
divided up into 14 segments (in which each segment can have its own tariff). User can
customize the TOU calendar (including its tariffs, seasons, schedules and segments)
according to different applications. To make sure that the TOU calendar is setup correctly,
the meter will check the TOU settings according to the predefined rules (see below for
“TOU setting format requirement” for details). TOU function will be disabled if the TOU
calendar is set up incorrectly. If no errors are found in the calendar and the TOU function
is enabled, TOU energy accumulation will begin.
TOU setting format requirement:
1. Season setting parameter: The calendar year will be divided up into different seasons
depending on the season setting parameter. The parameter can be selected from any
integer between 1 to 12. User must enter the correct value for the season setting
parameter in accordance to the TOU season table. If the season setting parameter is set
as 2, the first 2 slots of the TOU season table must be set, otherwise it will be considered
as an invalid input (TOU function will be disabled).
2. TOU season format: Enter the start date into the TOU season table slot following this
format “MM-DD ID” - MM stands for the month, DD stands for the day and ID stands for
the TOU schedule ID (available from 01 to 14). The dates should be organized so that they
are in sequence according to the calendar 88 year (the earlier date comes first and the
later date comes last). For example, if 3 seasons are selected, the date parameters are
January 1, June 6 and September 7, and TOU schedule 02, 01, 03 will be used respectively,
the first TOU season table slot shall enter 01-01 02, the second slot shall enter 06-06 01,
and the third slot shall enter 09-07 03. Entering 01-01 02 for the first slot, 09-07 03 for the
second slot and 06-06 01 for the third slot is considered invalid.
3. Schedule setting parameter: The number of available TOU schedules depends on the
schedule setting parameter. The parameter can be selected from any integer between 1
to 14. This parameter determines the number of TOU schedules available for the TOU
calendar setting. A maximum of 14 TOU schedules (from TOU Schedule #1 to TOU Schedule
#14) can be used.
4. Segment setting parameter: Each TOU schedule consists of various timing segments.
The number of segments depends on the segment setting parameter setup. The
parameter can be selected from any integer between 1 to 14 (inclusively). User must enter
the correct value for the segment setting parameter in accordance to the TOU schedule
table. If the segment setting parameter is set as 3, the first 3 slots of the TOU schedule
table must be set, otherwise, it will be considered as an invalid input (TOU function will be
disabled).
5. TOU schedule format: Each TOU schedule represents a 24 hour cycle. Similar to TOU
season format, enter the start time into the TOU schedule table slot following this format
“HH:MM ID” - HH stands for hour (in 24 hr format), MM stands for minutes and ID stands
for tariffs (available from 00 to 03). The time should be organized according to the hour
sequence. For example, if 3 segments are selected, timing parameters are 01:00, 15:30,
22:45, the order of the 3 segments should be one of the following: 01:00, 15:30, 22:45 or
15:30, 22:45, 01:00 or 22:45, 01:00, 15:30 Entering time information in a wrong sequence
(for example, entering 15:30, 01:00, 22:45) is considered as an invalid 89 operation, TOU
function will be disabled.
6. Tariff setting parameter: This parameter corresponds to the number of tariffs available
for the TOU calendar and can be selected from any integer from 0 to 3. The four tariffs:
sharp, peak, valley and normal are represented by 4 integers: 0, 1, 2 and 3 respectively. If
the tariff setting parameter is set to 3, all of the 4 tariffs will be available for the TOU
calendar; if the parameter is set to 1, only the first 2 tariffs (sharp and peak) will be
available.
7. Holiday setting parameter: This parameter can be set from any integer between 1 and
30, meaning a maximum of 30 holidays can be programmed to the TOU calendar. If the
holiday setting parameter is set as 3, the first 3 slots of the holiday schedule must be set,
otherwise it will be considered as an invalid input (TOU function will be disabled).
Note: User can either customize the TOU calendar factory settings or use the default
factory settings. User can reset the TOU calendar to its default value either via
communication or from the meter front.
8. Holiday schedule: The holiday schedule uses the same format as the TOU seasons “MMDD ID”. User can select which TOU schedule to be used for the holiday. The dates of the
holiday schedule do not need to be organized in a sequential order (i.e. the first slot can
be January 1, the second slot can be December 26 and the third slot can be December 25).
9. Daylight saving time (DST): Daylight saving time can be enabled in one of two formats:
The fixed date option, or a fixed day of one of the weeks in the month (also named as the
non-fixed date option). if you choose a fixed date option, you set the format according to
a fixed date, for the daylight-saving time switch: the format month / day / hour / minute /
adjust time (in minutes). If you choose non-fixed date option, DST will be implemented by
which day of which week, whose setting format is month/which day (i. e. Tuesday)/which
week (i. e. 1st 90 week)/hour/minute/adjust time (in minutes).
By using the function, you can cause the instrument to automatically switch to and from
daylight saving time. When the clock starts to run to daylight saving time, the meter will
automatically adjust the clock to a time period in advance, while the clock is running to
the end of daylight-saving time, meter will automatically adjust the clock pushed back to
a time period, as shown in Fig 4-10
Fig 4-10 Daylight saving time setting interface
10. Ten-year Holiday setting
Users can preset holidays of the next decade via the meter software. The holiday format
is month/day/year; holiday code; holiday schedule. After the format setup, click on "Make
Holiday Settings (10 year)", then a holiday table for the next decade will be generated.
Holiday Auto Switch: When Ten-year Holiday is enabled, if the current year of the meter
falls into the Ten-year Holiday setting, it automatically loads the Tenyear Holiday settings
into the current TOU settings. If the current year of the meter does not fall into the Tenyear Holiday setting, it remains the current TOU settings.
11. Weekend Schedule: Weekend Setting (bit0: Sunday; bit1 ~ bit6: Monday to Saturday; bit
0 means not effective, bit 1 means effective). For example, when the Weekend Setting bit0 is
1, it means Sunday is effective. When the Weekend Setting bit1 is 1, it means Monday is
effective. For example, if a user wants to set Saturday and Sunday effective, he should put 65
(1000001) into the Weekend 92 Setting field. When the meter clock is within the preset
Weekend Schedule, the energy will accumulate under the tariff that corresponds to the
Schedule.
Note: Holiday schedule has the highest priority among all the schedules. Weekend schedule's
priority is followed by Holiday schedule. When Holiday schedule is not enabled, Weekend
schedule has the highest priority, overiding the normal (weekday) schedule.
Acuvim IIE can record maximum power and current demand under different tariffs, as well as
the time stamp of the maximum value. It can also clear the maximum demand under diferent
tarifs.
Except normal energy parameter readings, Acuvim IIE has 4 separate logs: Current
Accumulation Month TOU, Prior Accumulation Month TOU, Current Month TOU and Prior
Month TOU. When setup appropriately and when TOU is enabled, energy will be
accumulated in a month-to-month basis. The current energy usage will be stored under
Current Month TOU (or Current Accumulation Month TOU) and is divided up into different
tariffs. When next month (or counting period) starts, all Current Month TOU values will be
moved to Prior Month TOU (or Prior Accumulation Month TOU).
There are two ways of automatic resetting of current month TOU.
1. End of Month: This is the default method. All values from Current Accumulation Month
TOU will be copied over to Prior Accumulate Month TOU at the very beginning of each
month (the first day of each month at time 00:00:00). Current Accumulation Month TOU
will continue to accumulate. All values from Current Month TOU will be copied over to
Prior Month TOU at the very beginning of each month (the first day of each month at time
00:00:00) be cleared and reset to 0.
2. Assigned Clock: User can select when the values from Current Accumulation Month TOU
or Current Month TOU would be copied over to Prior Accumulation 93 Month TOU or Prior
Month TOU. User can set the time in the following format: DD HH:MM:SS"-DD stands for
day, HH stands for hour, MM stands for minute, SS stands for second. Similar to the
previous method, once Current Accumulation Month TOU is transferred to Prior
Accumulation Month TOU, Current Accumulation Month TOU will continue to accumulate.
once Current Month TOU is transferred to Prior Month TOU, Current Month TOU will be
cleared and reset to 0.
4.7 Power Quality Event Logging and Waveform Capture
Power Quality Event Logging
When a power quality event happens, such as voltage sag and swell, Acuvim IIW will record
the event timestamp and the triggering condition. It can save up to 50,000 events.
Bit1: 1 – u2 voltage sag, 0 – no u2 voltage sag;
Bit2: 1 – u3 voltage sag, 0 – no u3 voltage sag;
Bit3: 1 – u1 voltage swell, 0 –u1 no voltage swell;
Bit4: 1 – u2 voltage swell, 0 –u2 no voltage swell;
Bit5: 1 – u3 voltage swell, 0 –u3 no voltage swell;
Rated Value: W6—Voltage rated value;
Threshold: W7—Threshold for voltage sag and swell.
Half Cycle count: W8 (Voltage Swell: 0; Voltage Sag: 4~200)
2. Logging Events
The event logging feature can log 50000 events. If the 50000 events are full, no more
events will be logged even if the triggering condition happens. The user must clear the
event log, and then the logging will log the new event. When the log is cleared, the new
event will be logged from the first event happening. There will be no data loss after the
power is of
3. Event Logging Triggering Conditions
1) Voltage Sag
When any phase of the three-phase voltage is lower than the set value (voltage rated value
x threshold %), there will be a voltage sag event. When one phase voltage sag happens,
the other phase will not respond to voltage sag event logging. Only when all of the phases
voltage restore back to normal, a new voltage sag event will be responded.
2) Voltage Swell
When any phase of the three-phase voltage is higher than the set value (voltage rated
value x threshold %), there will be an Voltage Swell event. When one phase Voltage Swell
happens, the other phase will not respond to Voltage Swell event logging. Only when all
of the phases voltage restore back to normal, a new Voltage Swell event will be responded.
Note:
The following figure depicts how to set the parameters for Power Quality Event Logging
and Waveform Capture. In the parameter settings, Voltage Sag and Voltage Swell share
the same voltage rated value. The parameters for event logging include: voltage rated
value, voltage sag threshold, voltage sag half cycle count and voltage swell threshold.
Those parameters also fit voltage sag 95 waveform capture. The other triggering
conditions for Waveform Capture can be set when necessary. When the Waveform
Capture triggering by Voltage Sag and Voltage Swell is enabled, the corresponding event
log and waveform will be recorded when Voltage Sag or Voltage Swell happens.
Fig. 4-12
4. Event Log Retrieve
When a new event log commences, the newest event number address (0X8CFDH) contains
the newest event number. When the log is being retrieved, the starting event log number
(0X8CFEH) and the event quantity for 96 each retrieve (0X8CFF) must be set correctly. It must
be ensured that the starting number of event log should equal or smaller than the newest log
number. When setup is correct, reading registers 0X8D00H—0X8D4FH will acquire the event
log data. Each time a maximum of 10 logged events can be retrieved. The event log retrieve
page is in the figure below. The Modbus register address of the event log is in the table below
(see details in Chapter 6).
Range: 1-50000

Waveform Capture
Acuvim IIW can record 100 groups of voltage and current waveform data at a sampling rate
of 64 points per cycle. It provides the captured waveform of 10 cycles before and after the
triggering point (including U1, U2, U3, I1, I2, I3). The triggering condition is settable.
(Two bits meaning: 00: No DI Triggering; 01: DI Triggering from OFF to ON; 10: DI Triggering
From On to OFF)
W12— Voltage Sag Triggering (0: disabled; Bit0: 1 – u1 voltage sag waveform, 0 – no u1
waveform; Bit1: 1 – u2 voltage sag waveform, 0 – no u2 waveform; Bit2: 1 – u3 voltage sag
waveform, 0 – no u3 waveform)
W13— Voltage Swell Triggering (0: disabled; Bit0: 1 – u1 voltage swell waveform, 0 – no u1
waveform; Bit1: 1 – u2 voltage swell waveform, 0 – no u2 waveform; Bit2: 1 – u3 voltage swell
waveform, 0 – no u3 waveform;)
W14— Over-current Triggering (0: disabled; Bit0: 1 – I1 voltage over-current waveform, 0 –
no I1 waveform; Bit1: 1 – I2 voltage over-current waveform, 0 – no I2 waveform; Bit2: 1 – I3
voltage over-current waveform, 0 – no I3 waveform;)
W15, W16----0 (Reserved)
Waveform Order:
Before triggering point 10 U1 waveforms, 10 U2 waveforms, 10 U3 waveforms, 10 I1
waveforms, 10 I2 waveforms, 10 I3 waveforms.
After triggering point 10 U1 waveforms, 10 U2 waveforms, 10 U3 waveforms, 10 I1
waveforms, 10 I2 waveforms, 10 I3 waveforms.
Waveform Capture can log up to 100 groups of waveform data. When the 100-group data is
full, it does not respond to any waveform triggering condition. Only when all the waveform
data is reset / emptied, waveform capturing function will be normal. When the waveform
data is emptied, new waveform data starts from the 1st group. The waveform data will not
be lost when the power is off.
Note: since the amount of each waveform group data is large, it takes more time to write into
the flash memory. Therefore, Waveform Capture only responds to one triggering condition
at one time. During the process of writing data into the flash memory, it does not respond to
new triggering condition. After 99 the process of memory writing, it will respond to new
waveform triggering condition.
3. Waveform Capture Triggering Condition
1) Manual Triggering
Manually trigger one group waveform capture.
2) DI Triggering
DI Triggering must fulfill the following two conditions at the same time.
IO modules with the logical address of 1 (AXM-IO11, AXM-IO21, AXM-IO31).
DI channel type is set as “State”.
The Modbus address assigns two bits for the DI channel. When they are set as “00”, it means
DI Triggering Disabled; “01” means DI Triggering will be implemented when DI state changes
from OFF to ON; “10” means DI Triggering will be implemented when DI state changes from
ON to OFF; “11 “means DI Triggering will be implemented when DI state has any change.
3) Voltage Sag Triggering
As mentioned in Voltage Sag event logging, when Voltage Sag Triggering Waveform is
enabled, both event logging and waveform capture will be implemented at the same time
once a voltage sag happens.
As mentioned in Voltage Swell event logging, when Voltage Swell Triggering Waveform is
enabled, both event logging and waveform capture will be implemented at the same time
once a voltage swell happens.
5) Over-current Triggering
When Over-current Triggering is enabled, if any phase of the three-phase current is higher
than the set value (rated value x threshold %), the waveform 100 capture will be
implemented. If one phase is over-current, any other phase overcurrent cannot implement
the waveform capture. Only when all of the phase current restores back to normal, waveform
capture will be responding.
4. Waveform Capture Retrieve
Because of large quantity of saved waveform, waveform retrieving window use 64 addresses
to make retrieving data easier, which keeps consistent with recording points of one period.
There are two retrieving methods, one retrieve waveform record reasons, another retrieve
all data of one group waveform. Two methods are shown below.
First retrieving method is only retrieving waveform record reasons.
When 0x8E01H (Waveform Group Number) is set to 0, waveform record reason can be
retrieved from data retrieving window, by changing Waveform Group Number for Retrieving
(8E00H). Waveform record reason is 16 bytes and data window are 64 bytes, so that is the
reason why each retrieving access include 4 group records.
For example, if the total number of Waveform Group Number for Retrieving is 19, the by this
method, only through 5 times retrieving, all 20 groups waveform can be retrieved. Before
retrieving, user should write 0 to 8E01H, and 1 to 8E00H, while at first time retrieving
addresses from 8E00 to 8E43, these window data are the reasons of waveform group 1, 2, 3,
4. After retrieving, Waveform Group Number for Retrieving (8E00H) will automatically update
to 5. While at second time retrieving addresses from 8E00 to 8E43, these window data are
the reasons of waveform group 5, 6, 7, 8. Waveform Group Number for Retrieving (8E00H)
will stop increasing after the value reaches 17.
Note: Unless user retrieves all data from 8E00H to 8E43H in one time, Waveform Group
Number for Retrieving (8E00H) will automatically add 4, otherwise Waveform Group Number
for Retrieving (8E00H) will keep present value if only 101 retrieving partial data. Waveform
Group Number for Retrieving (8E00H) will stop increasing while value reaches Newest
Waveform Group Number. If the value added 4, the value will be larger than Newest
Waveform Group Number.
Second retrieving method is retrieving all waveforms data. When 0x8E01H (Waveform Group
Number) is set to 1~121, each time only one group data of each number will be retrieved,
then Waveform Group Number for Retrieving (8E01H) will automatically add 1 after
retrieving. At next time, new Waveform Group Number will be retrieved. Waveform Group
Number will stop increasing after value reach 121.
Note: The range of 0x8E01H is 0~121, within setting range, windows (8E04H~8E43H) are
corresponding to waveform data.
0: Only retrieving waveform record reasons
1: Time and reasons of waveforms
2~11: Each waveform number of ten waveforms before U1 waveform is triggered
12~21: Each waveform number of ten waveforms before U2 waveform is triggered
22~31: Each waveform number of ten waveforms before U3 waveform is triggered
32~41: Each waveform number of ten waveforms before I1 waveform is triggered
42~51: Each waveform number of ten waveforms before I2 waveform is triggered
52~61: Each waveform number of ten waveforms before I3 waveform is triggered
62~71: Each waveform number of ten waveforms after U1 waveform is triggered
72~81: Each waveform number of ten waveforms after U2 waveform is triggered
82~91: Each waveform number of ten waveforms after U3 waveform is triggered
92~101: Each waveform number of ten waveforms after I1 waveform is triggered
102~111: Each waveform number of ten waveforms after I2 waveform is triggered
112~121: Each waveform number of ten waveforms after I3 waveform is triggered
Note: Unless user retrieves all data from 8E00H to 8E43H in one time, Waveform Group
Number for Retrieving (8E01H) will automatically add 1, or Waveform Group Number for
Retrieving (8E01H) will keep present value if only retrieving partial data.

5. Relationship between voltage or current waveform value and real value
The relationship between voltage waveform value and real value:
Real Value (Unit: V) = Waveform Value / 37.59105
The relationship between current waveform value and real value:

4.8 Seal Function
The panel with seal, which has sealed key control, is different with one without seal. When
the seal is in opened status, functions are same like normal meters. But when the seal is
in sealed status, some functions of meters, which include parameters blocked by seal and
optional parameters, will be blocked. These parameters can still be accessible by keys and
communication way if they can be accessed before, but in sealed status, these parameters
cannot be modified by keys or communication way anymore.
Addresses about seal function are 101EH and 101FH.
Address 101EH is about parameters blocked by seal, which can be configured by users.
These setting will be valid only when seal is in sealed status. Address 101FH is about if seal
function is valid. When the panel is normal one, or the seal panel is in invalid sealed status,
this address will show seal is open. When the seal is valid, this address will show sealed
status and corresponding parameters will be blocked.
Parameters blocked by seal.
As long as seal is in sealed status, parameters below must be blocked, no matter what
value of address 101EH.
