Meter wiring

For wiring instructions and safety precautions, see the meter installation sheet that was shipped with your meter, or download a copy at www.se.com.

Direct connect voltage limitsMeasuring voltage limit

You can connect the meter’s voltage inputs directly to the phase voltage lines of the power system if the power system’s line-to-line or line-to-neutral voltages do not exceed the meter’s direct connect maximum voltage limits.
The meter's voltage measurement inputs are rated by the manufacturer for up to 277 V L-N / 480 V L-L. However, the maximum voltage allowed for direct connection may be lower, depending on the local electrical codes and regulations. As per installation category III the maximum voltage on the meter voltage measurement inputs should not exceed 277 V L-N / 480 V L-L.
If your system voltage is greater than the specified direct connect maximum voltage, you must use VTs (voltage transformers) to step down the voltages.

Balanced system considerations

In situations where you are monitoring a balanced 3-phase load, you may choose to connect only one or two CTs on the phase(s) you want to measure, and then configure the meter so it calculates the current on the unconnected current input(s).
NOTE: For a balanced 4-wire Wye system, the meter’s calculations assume that there is no current flowing through the neutral conductor.
16 QGH1315603-03
Hardware reference EasyLogic™ DM6000H / DM6200H series
Balanced 3-phase Wye system with 2 CTs
The current for the unconnected current input is calculated so that the vector sum for all three phases equal zero.
Balanced 3-phase Wye or Delta system with 1CT
The currents for the unconnected current inputs are calculated so that their magnitude and phase angle are identical and equally distributed, and the vector sum for all three phase currents equal zero.
NOTE: You must always use 3 CTs for 3-phase 4-wire center-tapped Delta or center-tapped open Delta systems.

Serial communications

The meter supports serial communication through the RS-485 port.
In an RS-485 network, there is one master device, typically an Ethernet to RS-485 gateway. It provides the means for RS-485 communications with multiple slave devices (for example, meters). For applications that require only one dedicated computer to communicate with the slave devices, an RS-232 to RS-485 converter can be used as the master device. In master device, recommended response time-out setting should be minimum 1 second.

RS-485 configuration

Serial protocols

RS-485 wiring

Before connecting your device to the RS-485 bus, use the meter’s display, or ION Setup to configure your meter’s default RS-485 settings.
Your meter has one RS-485 connection.
Your meter must have a unique unit identifier (address) and have the following settings match the rest of the devices on the RS-485 bus:
Protocol
Baud rate
Parity
You can use a communications converter (USB to RS-485 or RS-232 to RS-485) to connect to your meter.
Your meter supports the serial communication protocol on its RS-485 port.
Modbus RTU
Connect the devices on the RS-485 bus in a point-to-point configuration, with the (+) and (-) terminals from one device connected to the corresponding (+) and (-) terminals on the next device.
RS-485 cable
Use a shielded 2 wire or 1 twisted pair RS-485 cable to wire the devices. Use either shielded 2 wire or 1 twisted pair to connect the (+) and (-) terminals.
The total distance for devices connected on an RS-485 bus should not exceed 900 m (2953 ft).
NOTE: You can connect a maximum of 32 devices to a single RS-485 bus.

Data minus. This transmits/receives the inverting data signals.
+
Data plus. This transmits/receives the non-inverting data signals.

RS-485 network configuration

After you have wired the RS-485 port and powered up the meter, you must configure the serial communications port in order to communicate with the meter.
Each device on the same RS-485 communications bus must have a unique address and all connected devices must be set to the same protocol, baud rate, and parity (data format).
NOTE: To communicate with the meter using ION Setup, you must set the serial site and all connected devices in the RS-485 network to the same parity setting.
For meters that do not have a display, you must first wire and configure each one separately before connecting these meters to the same RS-485 bus.

EasyLogic™ DM6000H / DM6200H series Verifying accuracy

Verifying accuracy

Overview of meter accuracy

All meters are tested and verified at the factory in accordance with International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards.
Your meter typically does not require re-calibration. However, in some installations a final accuracy verification of the meters is required.

Accuracy test requirements

The most common method for testing meter accuracy is to apply test voltages and currents from a stable power source and compare the meter’s readings with readings from a reference device.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Environment
Verify the device’s power source meets the specifications for your device’s power supply.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
The meter should be tested at the same temperature as the testing equipment. The ideal temperature is about 23 ºC (73 ºF). Make sure the meter is warmed up sufficiently before testing.
A warm-up time of 30 minutes is recommended before beginning accuracy verification testing. At the factory, the meters are warmed up to their typical operating temperature before calibration to help ensure that the meters will reach their optimal accuracy at operating temperature.
Most high precision electronic equipment requires a warm up time before it reaches its specified performance levels. Energy meter standards allow the manufacturers to specify meter accuracy derating due to ambient temperature changes and self-heating.
Your meter complies with and meets the requirements of these energy metering standards.
For a list of accuracy standards that your meter complies to, contact your local Schneider Electric representative or download the meter brochure from
www.se.com.
Reference device
To help ensure the accuracy of the test, it is recommended that you use a reference device with a specified accuracy that is 6 to 10 times more accurate than the meter under test. Before you start testing, the reference device should be warmed up as recommended by its manufacturer.
NOTE: Verify the accuracy and precision of all measurement equipment used in accuracy testing (for example, voltmeters, ammeters, power factor meters).

number of pulses. Allow 10 seconds of dwell time between test points.
EasyLogic™ DM6000H / DM6200H series Verifying accuracy

Percentage error calculation for accuracy verification testing

Accuracy verification testing requires you to calculate the percentage error between the meter being tested and the reference/standard.
Calculate the percentage error for every test point using the following formula:
Percentage error = (MUT - RSS) / RSS x 100
Where:
MUT= parameter measured by the meter under test
RSS = Reference Sub Standard (Reference device)
NOTE: If accuracy verification reveals inaccuracies in your meter, they may be caused by typical sources of test errors. If there are no sources of test errors present, please contact your local Schneider Electric representative.

Typical sources of test errors

If you see excessive errors during accuracy testing, examine your test setup and test procedures to eliminate typical sources of measurement errors.
Typical sources of accuracy verification testing errors include:
Loose connections of voltage or current circuits, often caused by worn-out contacts or terminals. Inspect terminals of test equipment, cables, test harness and the meter under test.
Meter ambient temperature is significantly different than 23 °C (73 °F).
Floating (ungrounded) neutral voltage terminal in any configuration with unbalanced phase voltages.
Inadequate meter control power, resulting in the meter resetting during the test procedure.
Ambient light interference or sensitivity issues with the optical sensor.
Incorrect test setup: not all phases connected to the reference device or the energy standard. All phases connected to the meter under test should also be connected to the reference meter/standard.
Moisture (condensing humidity), debris or pollution present in the meter under test.

Power factor

The sampled measurements taken at the meter’s voltage and current inputs provide data for calculating power factor.
In a balanced 3-phase alternating current (AC) power system source, the AC voltage waveforms on the current-carrying conductors are equal but offset by one­third of a period (a phase angle shift of 120 degrees between the three voltage waveforms).

Current phase shift from voltage

Electrical current can lag, lead, or be in phase with the AC voltage waveform, and is typically associated with the type of load — inductive, capacitive or resistive.
For purely resistive loads, the current waveform is in phase with the voltage waveform. For capacitive loads, current leads voltage. For inductive loads, current lags voltage.
The following diagrams show how voltage and current waveforms shift based on load type under ideal (laboratory) conditions.
Current and voltage in phase (resistive) Current leads voltage (capacitive) Current lags voltage (inductive)

Power factor (PF)

Power factor (PF) is the ratio of real power (P) to apparent power (S).
Power factor is provided as a number between -1 and 1 or as a percentage from
-100% to 100%, where the sign is determined by the convention.
An ideal, purely resistive load has no reactive components, so its power factor is one (PF = 1, or unity power factor). Inductive or capacitive loads introduce a reactive power (Q) component to the circuit which causes the PF to become closer to zero.
True PF
The meter supports true power factor values:
True power factor includes harmonic content.

Power factor sign convention

Power factor sign (PF sign) can be positive or negative, and is defined by the conventions used by IEC standards.
PF sign convention: IEC
PF sign correlates with the direction of real power (kW) flow.
Quadrant 1 and 4: Positive real power (+kW), the PF sign is positive (+).
Quadrant 2 and 3: Negative real power (-kW), the PF sign is negative (-).

Power factor register format

The meter performs a simple algorithm to the PF value then stores it in the PF register.
Each power factor value (PF value) occupies one floating point register for power factor (PF register). The meter and software interpret the PF register for all reporting or data entry fields according to the following diagram:

E: The Result register indicates if the command was successful, and if not, what is the error that occurred.
F: The Data register displays the executed parameters of a successful command and the invalid parameters based on data type of an unsuccessful command.
There are two command interfaces, protected and unprotected, described in the following sections.
Unprotected command interface

Using protected command interface

To issue a meter command using the protected command interface, you must have a command semaphore.
To get a semaphore, read the semaphore Modbus register. The power meter will return a zero or a nonzero number.
If the meter shows zero, someone else owns the semaphore. You must wait for the semaphore to be available before sending a command.
44 QGH1315603-03
Command interface EasyLogic™ DM6000H / DM6200H series
If the meter shows a nonzero number, you own the semaphore. Semaphore is provided once until it is released or has been inactive for approximately 4 minutes. Once you have the semaphore, subsequent reads of the semaphore register will return zero until you release the semaphore or it times out.
To send a meter command using the protected command interface:
1. Read the semaphore register and record the meter response. This is your semaphore.
2. Build the packet to be written to the command block.
3. Write the packet as a Modbus block write (enter the command number, semaphore, and parameters at the same time).
