USER’S MANUAL
1. General Description
EEDS238-2 ZN/S(D1204) type multi-function energy meter is designed to measure single
phase two wire AC active energy and variable parameter. All of its functions comply with the
relative technical requirement for class 1 single phase watt hour meter in IEC62053-21 and its
data communication rules obey the requirement of DL/T645 or MODBUS-RTU. It is a long life
meter with the advantage of high stability, high over load capability, low power loss and small
volume.
The meter should be installed in suitable environment with ambient temperature range between
-25℃ ～ +55℃ , the relative humidity less than 75% and temperature limits between-
40℃ ～+70 ℃.
The meter is manufactured complying with international standard IEC62052-11 on “Electricity
metering equipment (AC) General requirements tests and test conditions” and IEC62053-21 on
“Static meters for active energy (classes 1 and 2)”.

current circuit is cut, the meter shall not create more than one pulse in a stipulated time
2.2.5 Average-life
The meter can be used for at least 10 years in normal operation specified in this manual
2.2.6 LCD: 5+1 (99999.9 kWh)
3. Basic Features
3.1 Measuring positive & negative active energy with negative energy accumulated into positive
energy, LCD display with backlight.
3.2 The meter also display three phase real voltage, real current, real active power, real power
factor, real frequency.
3.3 Pulse LED indicates working of meter ， Pulse output with optical coupling isolation
18~27V 27mA .
3.4 RS485 communication port.
3.5 Measuring active energy without calibration under long term operation.
3.6 display step by step with button.
4. Working principles
Single phase voltage and current are sampled from respective sampling circuit and
transformed into suitable signal, which is carried into integrated circuit, then the meter output
pulse signal in positive appropriation to measured power to drive step-motor counter or LCD
counter to realize energy measurement. The meter has energy pulse output for testing with
pulse width of 80+20ms

5. Structure
The meter consists of meter base, meter cover, terminal base, terminal cover. there are lead
seal on meter cover and terminal cover. A special screw is used to fix the terminal cover on
which a lead seal can be installed.
6. Usage
6.1 Connection diagram
Note: If reverse wire connection as photo 2, the total energy still can measure.
6.2 Installation
The meter can be installed on a 35 mm DIN rail
6.2.1 The meter can not installed and used until it is checked goods and sealed before delivery
6.2.2 The meter should be install in the water proof box indoor or outdoor. the meter’s box
should be fixed on strong and flame-resistant wall with a recommended height of about 1.8 m,
where there is no corrosive gas around.
6.2.3 The meter should be install fully in accordance with connection diagram on the terminal
cover, it is better to use copper as the leading wire for connection. All screws should be
tightened.
6.2.4 Diagram for installation dimension
7. Transportation and Storage
7.1 Heavy impact should be burdened to the products while transportation and unpacking.
7.2 The products should be stored in the original package and kept in place with temperature
between -40℃ ～+70℃ the relative humidity less than 75% and no corrosive gas around.
7.3 In storehouse, the meter should be placed on the shelf when kept in stock, there should not
be more than 7 cartons piled up in vertical. Single-packed meters can not be piled up with more
than 5 meters in vertical.
8. Warranty period
Within 24 months from the day of selling and provided that users operate correctly
according to the requirement of the user’s manual, if the meter doesn’t reach its technical
specification. It can be repaired or replaced in free of charge by the manufacturer.
