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

One or some CVM-144... can be connected to a P.C.. With this system we
can get all the parameters in one central point of reading. The CVM-144..., has a
serial RS-485 or RS-232 type output (according to the model). If we connect more
than one device to the same communication line (RS-485), we have to assign to
each of them a different code or direction (from 01 to 255), since the P.C. needs the
identification of every measuring point.
When the CVM-144 communicates with MODBUS protocol, it uses the RTU mode (Remote Terminal Unit ). Each 8-bits byte in a message contains two 4-bits
hexadecimal characters.
FUNCTION 3 or 4 Reading of n Words (16 bits-2 bytes). This function
permits to read all the electrical parameters of the
CVM-144. Each parameters is a 32-bits long, hence
two words are required to inquiry for a parameter.
