This manual is issued to help all the CVM-144 (Version 6.11 and higher) users
to install and use it in order get the best from it. After receiving the unit, please check
the following points:
(a) Does this device correspond to your order specifications?
(b) Check if any damage was done during the shipment process.
(c) Verify that it includes the correct instruction manual.
The manual you hold in your hands contains information and warnings
about the CVM-144 that the user should respect in order to guarantee
a proper operation of all the instrument functions and keep its safety
conditions.
Before powering the instrument for the first time, verify following points:
(a)
Power supply: see rear part of your CVM-144
Standard: 230 V a.c. Single-phase, Frequency: 50 ... 60 Hz
SDC Model : 24 .... 120 V c.c.
Other supply voltages, on request.
(b) Maximum measuring voltage:
Standard: 300 V a.c. phase-neutral / 520 V a.c. between phases
Other models: on request
CVM144 - measuring 110V: 110 V a.c. phase-to-neutral /190 V a.c. phase-to-phase
CVM144 - measuring 500V: 500 V a.c. phase-to-neutral /866 V a.c. phase-to-phase
(c) Maximum measurable current: Current transformer of In / 5 A a.c.
The CVM-144 power meter is a programmable measuring instrument, offering
several operation possibilities selectable in its SET-UP option. Before power
supplying the instrument, read the CONNECTIONS and SET-UP sections and
choose the most suitable operation mode for getting your desired data.

The CVM-144 is an instrument which measures, calculates and displays all
the main electrical parameters at any electrical network (balanced or not). The
measuring is true RMS value, through three a.c. voltage inputs and three a.c. current
inputs (from Current Transformers .../ 5A).
By means of an internal microprocessor it simultaneously measures:

The CVM-144 delivers the visualization of above listed parameters by means
of three 4-digit, led type, displays. Up to 3 parameters can be simultaneously read in
the screen.
The manual you hold in your hands contains information and warnings
that the user should respect in order to guarantee a proper operation
of all the instrument functions and keep its safety conditions. The
instrument must not be powered and used until its definitive assembly
on the cabinet’s door.
If the instrument is not used as manufacturer’s specifications, the
protection of the instrument can be damaged.
When any protection failure is suspected to exist (for example, it presents
external visible damages), the instrument must be immediately powered off. In this
case contact a qualified service representative.
4.1.- Installation.
Before powering the instrument for the first time, verify following points:
c.- Maximum allowable current : Current Transformer of In / 5 A a.c.
d.- Operation conditions :
- Operation temperature range : -10 to +50 ºC
- Humidity : 5 to 95 % R.H. non-condensing
- Altitude : below 2000 m
e.- Safety :
- Designed to meet protection class III- 300 V a.c. as (EN 61010).
- Protection against electric shock by class II double-isolation
Mounting:
+1
Instrument is to be mounted on panel (cut-out 138
x 138+1 mm, as per DIN
43 700). All connections keep inside the cabinet.
Note that with the instrument powered on, the terminals could be dangerous to
touching and cover opening actions or elements removal may allow accessing
dangerous parts. Therefore, the instrument must not be used until this is completely
installed.
The instrument must be connected to a power supply circuit protected with gl
type (IEC 269 ) or M type fuses rated between 0.5 and 2 A. This circuit should be
provided with a circuit breaker or any equivalent element to connect (ON) or
disconnect (OFF) the instrument from the power supply network. The supply and
measuring voltage circuits will be both connected through a wire with a minimum
cross-section of 1 mm2.
The line of the current transformer secondary will have a minimum crosssection of 2,5 mm2.
• For the measurement of the residual current (earth leakage current), the use of
transformers of the WG xx series is required. These transformers can be connected
to the 3 A or 30 A rated input, depending on the needed measuring range.
• For the measurement of the neutral current, the use of .../5A current transformers is
• Connection diagram of the WG transformer (for residual current purposes)
One single WG series transformer
can be use for the measurement of
residual currents within the range to
3 A or to 30 A, jut depending on the
arranged connection diagram.
The current input used for the
