The meter has a number of different possible system wiring congurations (see
Wiring Diagrams). To congure the meter, set the System Type via the User
Interface or Modbus register 130. The System Type tells the meter which of
its current and voltage inputs are valid, which are to be ignored, and if neutral
is connected. Setting the correct System Type prevents unwanted energy
accumulation on unused inputs, selects the formula to calculate the Theoretical
Maximum System Power, and determines which phase loss algorithm is to be
used. The phase loss algorithm is congured as a percent of the Line-to-Line
System Voltage (except when in System Type 10) and also calculates the
expected Line to Neutral voltages for system types that have Neutral (12 & 40).
Values that are not valid in a particular System Type will display as “----” on the
User Interface or as QNAN in the Modbus registers.

Set Phase Loss:
VOLTS - Phase Loss Voltage: The fraction of the system
voltage below which Phase Loss Alarm is on. For system
types with neutral, the Line to Neutral voltage is also
calculated and tested. If the System Voltage is 600 and the
fraction is set to 0.10, then the Phase Loss threshold will be
60 volts.
IMBAL - Phase Loss Imbalance: The fractional difference
in Line to Line voltages above which Phase Loss Alarm is
on. For system types with neutral, the Line to Neutral
voltages are also tested. For system types 1+N (10) and 2
(11) , imbalance is not tested.
Set Pulse:
The System Type , CT size, PT Ratio, and System Voltage must
all be configured before setting the Pulse Energy. If any of these
parameters are changed, the meter will hunt for a new Pulse
Duration, but will not change the Pulse Energy. If it cannot find a
solution, the meter will display the wrench, show “ConF” in the
ALARM -> PULSE screen, and enable Energy pulse output
configuration error bit in the Modbus Diagnostic Alert Bitmap (if
1
equipped).

Wh/P - Set Pulse Energy: In Watt Hours (& VAR Hours, if
5
present) per Pulse. When moving down to a smaller energy, the
meter will not allow the selection if it cannot find a pulse duration
that will allow the pulse output to keep up with Theoretical
Maximum System Power (see S_PWR screen). When moving
up to a larger energy, the meter will jump to the first value where
it can find a valid solution.
mS/P – Minimum Pulse Duration Time: This read only value
is set by the meter to the slowest duration (in mS per closure)
that will keep up with the Theoretical Maximum System Power.
The open time is greater than or equal to the closure time. The
maximum Pulses Per Second (PPS) is shown in yellow.
Set Demand Interval:
INTRV - The number of Sub-Intervals (1 to 6) in a Demand Interval.
Default is 1 (block demand).
SEC - Sub-Interval length in seconds. Default is 900 (15 minutes).
Set to 0 for external sync-to-comms (Modbus units only).

• The terminal’s voltage and current ratings are compliant with the
requirements of the EIA RS-485 communications standard.
• The RS-485 transceivers are ¼ unit load or less.
• RS-485+ has a 47 kΩ pull up to +5V, and RS-485- has a 47 kΩ pull
down to Shield (RS-485 signal ground).
• Wire the RS-485 bus as a daisy chain from device to device, without
any stubs. Use 120 Ω termination resistors at each end of the bus (not
included).
• Shield is not internally connected to Earth Ground.
• Connect Shield to Earth Ground somewhere on the RS-485 bus.
• Use 14-24 gauge wire for all connections.
• When tightening terminals, ensure that the correct torque is applied:
The EM3555 includes a data logging feature that records 10 meter parameters,
each in its own buffer.
Use register 150 to set the data logging time subinterval. Writing to the storage
buffer is triggered by the subinterval timer. The default subinterval is 15 minutes
(at a 15 minute interval setting, the buffers hold 60 days of data). An external
timer can be used over Modbus by setting this register to 0.
Use register 159 to turn on data logging and select either Single Shot or
Continuous mode. The default settings are data logging on and set to
Continuous mode. In Single Shot mode, the meter records data until the buffer
is full. When the buffer is full, the meter stops recording new readings. Data
for this time period is kept, but newer energy information is lost. In Continuous
mode, the meter continues to record energy data as long as the meter is
operating. The buffer can only hold 5760 entries at one time, however, so when
the number of records exceeds 5760, the oldest entry is deleted to make room
for the newest.
Registers 169-178 contain the pointers to 10 data storage buffers. Each buffer
is user-congurable with the Modbus address of the 16-bit data output to be
stored. Measurement variables with 32-bit data, such as oating point data or
32-bit integer energy accumulators, require two buffers. However, the lower 16
bits of an integer energy accumulator can be stored in a single buffer (optional).
Reading Data
Read/Write Collision
When the EM3555 is rst installed, the buffers contain QNAN data, with a value
of 0x8000. This data is considered invalid. If the buffer is reset at any point, all
entries in the buffers are overwritten with this 0x8000 value, indicating that it is
invalid. All invalid data is overwritten as the meter lls the buffer with new data
entries.
Use register 158 to choose which buffer to read. When this register value is set
to 0, the meter is in data logging mode. Changing this value from 0 (to 1 through
10) switches the meter to reading mode and selects a buffer to read. Data from
the selected buffer appears in registers 8000 to 13760.
If the demand sub-interval timeout occurs while the user is reading a page
(register 158 ≠ 0), the log data will be held in RAM until the next demand
subinterval. At that time, both the saved data from the previous cycle and
the new data will be written to the log, whether the page register has been
set back to 0 or not. Error bits in the Log Status Register (160) track these
conditions. Subsequent log writes will proceed normally. Provided the log read
is concluded in less time than the demand sub-interval, this mechanism handles
the occasional collision and prevents the user from reading data as the buffer is
being updated.
The Log Status Register has additional error ag bits that indicate whether
logging has been reset or interrupted (power cycle, etc.) during the previous
demand sub-interval, and whether the Real Time Clock has been changed
(re-initialized to default date/time due to a power-cycle or modied via Modbus
The EM3555 Full Data Set (FDS) features data outputs such as demand
calculations, per phase signed watts VA and VAR, import/export Wh and VAh,
and VARh accumulators by quadrant. The Data Logging function adds log
conguration registers 155-178 and log buffer reading at registers 8000-13760.
The meter supports variable CTs and PTs, allowing a much wider range of
operation from 90V x 5A up to 32000V x 32000A. To promote this, the meter
permits variable scaling of the 16-bit integer registers via the scale registers.
The 32-bit oating point registers do not need to be scaled.
Integer registers begin at 001 (0x001). Floats at 257 (0x101). Conguration
registers at 129 (0x081). Values not supported in a particular System Type
conguration will report QNAN (0x8000 in Integer Registers, 0x7FC00000 in
Floating Point Registers). Register addresses are in PLC style base 1 notation.
Subtract 1 from all addresses for the base 0 value used on the Modbus RS-485
link.

CT Ratio – Secondary Interface (1 or 1/3 V, may not be user
congurable)
PT Ratio: The meter scales this value by 100 (i.e. entering 200 yields a potential transformer ratio of
2:1). The default is 100 (1.00:1), which is with no PT attached. Set this value before setting the system
voltage (below).
System Voltage: This voltage is line to line, unless in system type 10 (register 130), which is line to
neutral. The meter uses this value to calculate the full scale power for the pulse conguration (below),
and as full scale for phase loss (register 142). The meter will refuse voltages that are outside the range
of 82-660 volts when divided by the PT Ratio (above).
Theoretical Maximum System Power – This read only register is the theoretical maximum power the
meter expects to see on a service. It is calculated by the meter from the system type (register 130), CT
size (register 131), and system voltage (register 134) and is updated whenever the user changes any of
these parameters. It is used to determine the maximum power the pulse outputs can keep up with. This
integer register has the same scale as other integer power registers (see register 140 for power scaling).

system type (31 in register 130), only line-to-line
voltages are examined. In a single split-phase (2 + N)
system type (12 in register 130), just the line-to-neutral

Logging Read Page Register. Selects which of the register logs to read (see registers 169-178). 1-10
are valid entries that put the meter into log reading mode, temporarily pausing logging. When set to 0
(no variable selected for reading), normal logging resumes. The meter will buffer one set of log entries
while in reading mode if a sub-interval timeout occurs (read/write collision). Default is 0.
Note: this buffered data will be written to the log, and logging will resume on the following sub-interval
timeout whether the page register has been cleared or not, resulting in the appearance of data moving
in the buffer during reads. To avoid this, log buffer reads should be completed and this register set back
to 0 in less time than the demand sub-interval (preferred) or logging should be halted by setting Bit 1 in
register 158 (logs may be missed).
Logging Conguration Register (Bit Mapped):
Bit 0: Clear to 0 for circular log buffer mode. Set to 1 for single shot logging mode. Default is 0 (Circular).
Bit 1: Clear to 0 to enable Logging. Set to 1 to halt logging. Default is 0 (Log).
Logging Status Register (Bit Mapped):
Bit 0: Log buffer full – Set to 1 when one single shot mode has lled the log buffer. In this condition,
the Logged Entry Count will continue to increment. Cleared to 0 when logging is restarted (see reset
command register 129).
Bit 1: Log Buffer Read Collision 1 – Set to 1 if the meter tried to save log data while the user was
reading the log (Logging Page Register has been set to something other than 0). On the rst collision,
the meter holds the data until the next sub-interval and then writes the saved data to the log as well as
the data for that interval. This bit is cleared to 0 on the rst demand interval with Logging Page Register
= 0.
Bit 2: Log Buffer Read Collision 2 – Set to 1 on the 2nd attempt to save log data while the user is
reading the log (Logging Page Register is set to something other than 0). At this point the meter ignores
the read condition and does a double write, rst of the values saved from the previous cycle, and then
the present values. If the read condition is not removed the meter continues to write the log data as it
normally would. This bit is cleared to 0 on the rst demand interval with Logging Page Register = 0.
Bit 3: Logging Reset – The log has been reset during the previous demand sub-interval.
Bit 4: Logging Interrupted – logging has been interrupted (power cycled, log conguration change, etc.)
during the previous demand sub-interval.
Bit 5: RTC Changed – The real time clock had been changed during the previous demand sub-interval.
Bit 6: RTC Reset - The real time clock has been reset to the year 2000 and needs to be re-initialized.

Log Buffer Wrap / Missed Log Counter. In continuous mode, this counter increments each time the
internal circular log buffer wraps and overwrites old data. The total number of logged entries since the
last log reset is: (Register 161 x 5760) + Register 163. In single shot mode this counter is the number of
log entries lost due to the buffer being full. The counter is cleared on logging reset.
Max Number of Logging Days. Based on the Sub-Interval Length and the depth of the log buffer, this
register shows the maximum number of days that data will be logged following a reset until the Buffer is
full (Single Shot Mode) or overwrites old data (Continuous).
Number of Logged Entries since the log buffer wrapped or was reset. In single shot mode, this is the
total number of valid entries in the buffer. Any entries beyond this will read back as QNAN (0x8000).
