1. APPLICATION AND METER DESIGN
The N30H meter is a programmable digital panel meter destined for
the measurement of d.c. voltage or d.c. current. Additionally, the meter
enables the indication of the current time. The readout field is a LED
display, which allows the exposition of results in colours: red, green
and orange. The measured input signal can be arbitrary converted by
means of a 21-point individual characteristic.
Features of the N30H meter:
l display colour individually programmed in three intervals,
l programmable thresholds of displayed overflows,
l 2 NOC relay alarms operating in 6 modes,
l 2 switched relay alarms with a switching contact operating
in 6 modes (option),
l signaling of the measuring range overflow,
l automatic setting of the decimal point,
l programming of alarm and analog outputs with the reaction
on the chosen input quantity (main or auxiliary input),
l real-time clock with the function of the clock supply support
in case of the meter supply decay,
l programmed averaging time – function of walking window with the
averaging time up to 1 hour,
l monitoring of set parameter values,
l interlocking of introduced parameters by means of a password,
l recount of the measured quantity on the base of a 21-point
individual characteristic,
l service of the interface with MODBUS protocol in the
RTU mode (option),
l conversion of the measured value into a standard – programmable
current or voltage signal (option),
l highlight of any measuring unit acc. to the order.

3. BASIC REQUIREMENTS, OPERATIONAL
SAFETY
In the safety service scope, the N30H meter meets the requirements of
the EN 61010-1 standard.
Observations concerning the operational safety
l All operations concerning transport, installation, and commissioning
as well as maintenance, must be carried out by qualified, skilled personnel, and national regulations for the prevention of accidents must
be observed.
l The programming of N30H meter parameters must be carried out
after disconnecting measuring circuits
l Before switching the meter on, one must check the correctness of
connections.
l Do not connect the meter to the network through an autotransformer.
l Before removing the meter housing, one must switch the supply off
and disconnect measuring circuits.
l The meter is designed to be installed and exploited in electromag-
netic industrial environment conditions.
l Non-authorized removal of the housing, inappropriate use, incorrect
installation or operation, creates the risk of injury to personnel or meter
damage.
For more detailed information, please study the User’s Manual.
l When connecting the supply, one must remember that a switch or
a circuit-breaker should be installed in the building. This switch should
be located near the device, easy accessible by the operator, and
suitably marked as an element switching the meter off.

4. INSTALLATION
The meter has separable strips with screw terminals, which enable the
connection of external wires of 2.5 mm2 cross-section. Strips of input
signals are protected against any accidental disconnection by means
of a screw joint.
One must prepare a hole of 92
+0,6
´ 45
+0,6
mm in the panel, which the
thickness should not exceed 6 mm.
The meter is adapted to be mounted in a panel. The meter must be
introduced from the panel front with disconnected supply voltage. Before the insertion into the panel, one must check the correct placement
of the seal. After the insertion into the hole, fix the meter by means of
clamps (fig.2).

4.1. Signals Leads
Signals led out on the meter connectors are presented on the fig. 4.
All input signals are separated between them from remaining circuits.
Analog outputs are not separated between them. One don’t have to
take simultaneously advantage of voltage and current measurements, since measuring circuits of voltage and current are not galva-
nically isolated.
Fig. 4. Description of signals on connection strips
· 1 A, 5 A – terminals for the current measurement on the 1 A
or 5 A range.
· 100 V, 500 V – terminals for the voltage measurement on the 100 V
or 500 V range.
· OC –output of open collector type with an npn output transistor.
The output is turned on in case of a measuring range overflow.

5.2. Messages after Switching the Supply on
After switching the supply on, the meter displays the meter name
N30H, and next the program version in the form „r x.xx” – where
x.xx is the number of the current program version or the number of a
custom-made execution. Next, the meter carries out measurements
and displays the value of the input signal. The meter sets automatically the decimal point position, when displaying the value. The
format (number of places after the decimal point) can be limited by
the user.

5.4. Programming
The pressure of the push-button and holding it down through
ca 3 seconds causes the entry to the programming matrix. If the entry is
protected by a password, then the safety code symbol SEC is displayed alternately with the set value 0. The write of the correct code causes
the entry to the matrix, the write of an incorrect code causes the display
of the ErCod inscription. The matrix of transitions to the programming
mode is presented on the fig. 9. The choice of the level is made by
means of the
push-button, however the entry and moving
through the parameters of the chosen level is carried out by means of
the
and push-buttons. Parameter symbols are displayed alternately with their current values. In order to change the value
of the chosen parameter, one must use the
