Preventive Measures :
Fuse: To avoid the possibility of short circuit, only use a fuse that has a
rating (current and type) that is specified. When replacing a fuse, turn
OFF the power and unplug the power cord. Never short the fuse holder.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere: Do not operate the
instrument in the presence of flammable liquids or vapors. Operation in
such environments pose a safety hazard.
Do Not Remove Covers: The cover should be removed by
ElMeasure's qualified personnel only. Opening the cover is dangerous,
because some areas inside the instrument have high voltages.
External Connection: Securely connect the protective grounding
before connecting to the product under measurement or to an external
control unit. If you come in contact with circuit, make sure to turn OFF
the circuit and check that no voltage is present.

Precautionary Measures to be taken while Wiring the Circuit:
Turn OFF the power to the circuit, when wiring the circuit. Connecting
or removing measurement cables while the power is turned ON is
dangerous.
Take special caution not to wire a current measurement circuit to the
voltage input terminal or vice-versa.
Strip the insulation cover of the measurement cable so that when it is
wired to the input terminal, the conductive parts (bare wires) do not
protrude from the terminal. It is recommended to use appropriate pre
lug after crimping the wire. Also, make sure to fasten the input
terminal screws securely so that the cable does not come loose.
Use cables with safety terminals that cover the conductive parts for
connecting to the voltage input terminals. Using a terminal with bare
conductive parts is dangerous if the terminal comes loose.
After connecting the measurement cable, attach the current input
protection cover for your safety. Make sure that the conductive parts
are not exposed from the protection cover.
Use the suitable star screw driver and apply optimum torque to
prevent damage to the meter terminals.

WARNING : When using a modem interface between the host computer and
any remote device(s), ensure that the host computer is not used to set the
BAUD RATE parameter of any selected device outside the working range of
the modem. Doing so will cause that meter to cease communicating. Re-
establishing communication with that meter is possible through performing
the following:
1. Reset the baud rate of the remote device from its front panel to a
value within the working range of the modem.
2. Set the computer to communicate at the baud rate at which the
remote device has been set to communicate.

8. CLEARING PARAMETERS:
To Clear parameters from the front panel, Press UP and DOWN
Keys together, and 'CLEAr' (Clear) is shown on the display. Enter
the Password (Default password is 1000. Set up and clear has the
same password) and it will display “CLr.Int”. Press UP / DOWN Key
for selecting CLr.Int (Clear Integrator)/CLr.Hi.L (Clear max. or
min value of the parameter)/CLr.Md (Clear max. demand). Once
the parameter to be cleared is selected it will prompt to 'y' (yes) or
'n' (no) confirm. Press UP and DOWN key for changing 'y' or 'n'
and Press the RIGHT key to do the operation. User can return to
display mode at any time by again pressing OPTIONS button.
Demand Controller
Demand controller is designed to control for loads to achieve the
desired savings. The instrument measure the demand based on
sliding or fixed (block) window. The demand calculations can be
chosen based on Watts, VA or Amps (Average) or VAr parameters
for the given time period (Demand Period).
Sliding Window:
This window slides every 1 seconds
(update time), so it automatically
synchronizes with EB meter. But it will not
return to zero at the end of the demand
period. For the fluctuating load this is the
better method of measurement. The Demand period
graphical representation of sliding
window is shown below.
25
Block Window:
This window slides every demand
period. It has to be synchronized to EB
meter manually. It will return to zero
at the end of demand period. This can
be used for the fairly stable load. The

grade wire. Relay rating No contact SPST. 250VAC / 30VDC @ 2 Amps resistive.
26
Forecast Demand Control:
Forecast demand control is more suitable for sliding window
technique. This control predicts the rising demand before the set
time (Forecast Interval) and gives the alarm/annunciation for pro
active action. The user can then shed some non-critical loads.
(Additional load information is available in Demand page).
4 relays are used to control the demand
1. Relay 2 will be activated if Forecast Demand > High Limit 1.
2. Relay 3 will be activated if Rising Demand > High Limit 2
3. Relay 4 will be activated if Rising Demand > High Limit 1 as a
final trip.
4. Relay 1 can reconnect, once the rising demand comes down to
the safe limit (Low Limit).
Demand Pattern:
C.D - Contract Demand
(sanctioned demand)
H.L1 - High Limit 1
H.L2 - High Limit 2
L.L - Low limit
27
Step demand control:
Step demand control is suitable for sliding and fixed window.
4 loads or 4 set of loads can be connected to the relays for tripping.
Each step tripping level can be programmed independently (5% to
100% of Full scale). In the step demand control the control is based on
the rising demand only.
1. Relay 1 will be activated if Rising demand > Step1 Level.
2. Relay 2 will be activated if Rising demand > Step2 Level.
3. Relay 3 will be activated if Rising demand > Step3 Level.
4. Relay 4 will be activated if Rising demand > Step4 Level.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Due to programming error, site conditions, some problems can cause the
Meter malfunction. The fault symptoms and their remedial action for
correction is given below.
1. If the display does not turn ON:
a) Check that there is at least 80 volts available to the power supply (L and N
connections) on the Aux supply terminals. If the above steps do not solve
the problem, Contact ElMeasure or your local ElMeasure representative
and report the problem and results of the test.
2. If the voltage or current readings are incorrect:
a) Check that the Connection mode (star/delta) is properly programmed.
b) Check that the voltage and current ratios are properly set.
c) Check the output of the CT's and PT's being used.
3. If the kW or Power Factor readings are incorrect but voltage and
current readings are correct:
a) Make sure that the phase relationship between voltage and current inputs
are correct by comparing the wiring with the appropriate wiring diagram.
b) CT reversal can be observed by either seeing the phase wise kW. Negative
kW is shown where the current polarity is reversed, need to be corrected.
Model where kW information is not available, you may check Amps Phase
angle.
4. If RS-485 communication does not work:
a) Check that the baud rate of the host computer/PLC is the same as Meter.
b) Check that the device ID of the meter are unique and should not replicate.
c) Check all communications wiring is complete.
d) Check that the number of data bits is set to 8, with one stop bit and even
parity.
If the symptom persists after performing the specified steps, or if the
symptom is not listed above, contact your local ElMeasure representative or
the technical support / customer support department.
