7.1 Serial communication port (optional)

Serial port allows a PC connection. The communication port can be supplied
on request as RS232 or RS485.

7.1.1 RS 232
The RS232 interface allows a point to point connection: i.e.
instrument to PC or other device. The maximum recommended
length for this type of connection is about 5 m. For the connection
use a shielded cable with 3 conductors with a DB9 female connector
or DB25, according to the pictures below. The shield must be
connected to the frame of connector.

7.1.2 RS 485
The easiest and cheapest way to connect different measuring devices in a network is the RS485 serial line.
The RS485 standard interface allows a multi-point connection. Between PC and the network, it is required a
Serial RS232 to RS485 Converter. If more than 32 instruments are to be connected, insert a signal repeater.
Each repeater can manage up to 32 instruments. For the connection among the different modules, use a
cable with a twisted pair and a third wire.
The type of connection shown in the following picture uses the third conductor to ensure that all the devices
on the network have the same reference level and improve the reliability of communication.
When there are strong electromagnetic disturbances, which may affect communication, a shielded cable
should be used.
The Rt termination resistance must be installed on the PC and the last instrument connected along the line.
Thanks to these resistances, the reflected signal along the line is reduced.

For a typical telephone pair, Rt can have values from

120 to 150 Ohm.

NOTE. the value of each resistance must not

be lower than 120 Ohm in order to avoid an
overload of line drivers.

The max. recommended distance for a connection is

1200 m at 9600 Baud. For longer distances, lower baud
rates or low-attenuation cables or signal repeaters
are needed.

7.2 FTT-10 LONBUS COMMUNICATION PORT (optional)

The LONBUS interface allows a point to point connection: i.e. instrument to PC or other device. The maximum
recommended node-node length is about 400 m without repeaters. For the connection use a cable UL Level
4, 0.5 mm, 22 AWG twisted pair.

FTT10 LONBUS communication port; connect a single twisted

pair to communicate directly on LonWorksTM network.
Service Pin LONBUS communication switch; to enable the
LonWorksTM communication, press Service Pin with a
sharpened object (e.g. a pencil) paying attention not to
damage the overlay layer of the switch.
Comm. Diagnosis LED LED for diagnosis messages on the communication PIN
status;
LED OFF = communication OK LED
LED is flashing = no communication

6
7.3 RS485 PROFIBUS COMMUNICATION PORT (optional)
The PROFIBUS interface allows a point to point connection: i.e. instrument to PC or other device. For the
connection use a STD cable for PROFIBUS connection with a 9-pole male connector on the device side. If
the standard cable for PROFIBUS is not available, produce one according to the scheme in the picture. Pay
attention that the connectors at the two edges of the cable must comply to the scheme in the picture.

section 8.3.3

8.3.11 Digital outputs [do1/do2]

The digital outputs can be programmed as threshold mode on instantaneous values or for energy pulse emission
according to the consumption. The meter allows the proper setting (threshold or pulse) according to the selected
parameters (instantaneous values or energies) automatically. To set the values, see section 8.3.3

NOTE
For the meaning of the abbreviations on the display, refer to the list of parameters at page
17.

How to set the pulse emission mode

The pulse duration is 150 milliseconds fixed. The value may be expressed in Wh, varh,
Vah. The multiplying factor ([ ] none, [k] kilo, [M] mega, [G] giga) and the decimal point
depend on the selected CT value (see section 8.3.4).

Example
Programming: Variable = AcE (active energy); pulse = 1,00; LED = [k];
Digital output : 1kWh / pulse.

For more information, see section 8.3.12 “Considerations on the pulse value calculation”.

15
 How to set the threshold mode
In the first page of each output (identified in the first row, with the last digit=1), the
following values can be programmed in the listed order:
• Parameter assigned to the output
• Programmable threshold between 0% and 150% of the selected parameter
fullscale

Fullscale considerations: FSVLL=750V at Pt=0001; FSVLL=150V*Pt at Pt≠0001; FSA=1 or 5A at

Ct=0001; FSA=1 or 5A *Ct at Ct≠0001

Example 1
Parameter=A1; Ct=0001; FSA=1; selected threshold value= 60%
Absolute threshold value= FSA * Ct * 60% = 1 * 1 * 0.6 = 0.6 A
Example 2
Parameter=V1; Pt=0001; FSVLN=433V; selected threshold value=75%
Absolute threshold value= FSVLN * 75% = 433 * 0.75 = 324.75V
Example 3
Parameter=P; FSA=5A; FSVLL=150V*10; Ct=0100; Pt=0010; selected threshold value=45%
Absolute threshold value= (FSA * Ct * FSVLL * √3) * 45% = (5 * 100 * 150 * 10 * 1.73) * 0.45 =
583875 W = 583.8 kW

In the second page of each output (identified in the first row with the last digit=2) the
following values can be programmed in the listed order:
• Delay time: 0.00; 0.03; 0.30; 1.00; 3.00; 10.0; 30.0; 100 seconds
• Programmable hysteresis between 0% and 100%

8.3.12 Considerations on the pulse value calculation

The maximum pulse re-emission rate is 1 pulse/sec (3600 pulse/h).
The minimum value assignable to the pulse to prevent the overlapping is:
emin = Pmax / 3600

Pmax is the maximum power on the measuring point controlled by the meter. The pulse value (emin) is
expressed in Wh, varh or VAh depending on the selected variable (P, Q or S).

Example 1
Pmax = 5MW
emin = 5000000/3600 = 1389 Wh/pulse (1.389 kW/p)

Example 2
Pmax = 800kW
emin = 800000/3600 = 222 Wh/pulse (0.222 kWh/p)

The result can be rounded off to a higher value for an easier calculation or totalization of the energy
consumption.
For example no.1 it is possible to select 1.5, 2 or 10 kWh/p.
For example no.2 it is possible to select 0.5 or 1 kWh/p.
The pulse emission frequency will be proportionally lower.
Higher pulse weight = lower emission frequency.

16
9. CORRECT CONFIGURATION CHECK
If the meter configuration or wiring has not been configured properly, one of the following problems may
occur:

A. The three phases have a negative sign

1. Check the direction of current, indicated by the arrow on each measurement CT: turn the CT by 180°
or reverse the CT connection if necessary (this solution is also recommended for a single-phase
connection)
B. One or two phases have a negative sign
1. Make the checks as per point A.
2. For each phase, make sure that the connections respect the relation between the current phase and
voltage phase. If the voltage-current relation is changed, a fixed 120° (advance or delay) offset is
introduced in the measurement. In such a case the PF should be incorrect, too.
C. The phase or system PF value is incorrect
1. Make the checks as per point B.
D. Inconsistent power values
1. Make the checks as per point B.

10. MAINTENANCE
The instrument does not require maintenance.
Clean the display and keyboard regularly using a clean cloth and non-aggressive cleaning liquid.
Do not use solvents or detergents that might damage the plastic.
