1.1 General View

Fig. 1.1 General view of meter (with GSM/GPRS Module)

1.2 Purpose of Use


The ZMF100 meters record active and reactive energy consumption in all
3-phase 4-wire networks. They are directly installed in the supply line by
the energy supply company and are read regularly for billing purposes.
The ZFF100 meters differ from ZMF meters in the type of measurement
(Aron circuit for three-phase three-wire networks). Therefore, they are only
equipped with 2 instead of 3 measuring elements.
The data is displayed on an LCD and is also available via optical interface
and with an AMR Module via CS, PLC modem, GSM/GPRS or Ethernet
modem, etc. When provided with transmission contacts, the meters can
also be used as transmission contact meters for telemetering. The rates
can be controlled internally or externally with control inputs (on the AMR
Module).
With an AMR module, the meters can also be used to record counting
pulses of other physical media (e. g. water or gas volumes) or to directly
transmit values recorded by other measuring devices.
Any other application of these meters is regarded as abuse.

1.3 Advice

 Inverted rectifiers used in larger photovoltaic installations may cause


disturbance currents at high frequencies and lead to additional errors.
Although the meters still comply with the specification we recommend not
to use SW-version M21, M22, M23 in these applications.

Description of Unit 7/51

1.4 Field of Application

Basic series The basic version provides energy registers for tariffication, red test diodes
for active and reactive energy, an optical interface for meter reading and an
interface for various communication forms. This interface is protected
against fraud and is independent of the module suppliers. The exchange-
able AMR Module is situated outside the calibration liability. The functional-
ity of this meter is suitable for smaller consumers, i.e. for households.
Disconnector The function of the disconnector is customer specific and is defined by the
(ZxF100xB only) communication module. Possible uses: anti-tampering (e.g. disconnection
in case of tampering with magnets), load limitation (fuse control), remote
disconnect (e.g. in case of change of tenant), prepayment. The status of
the disconnector is displayed on the meter, but the disconnector is control-
led by the communication module. If you need detailed information on the
functionality of your disconnector, please consult the user manual of the
communication module installed.
The disconnector is available for connection on 3x 230/400 V only.
Extensions The basic series can be extended with various AMR Modules for additional
functions and communications:
Multirate import/export with external rate control
S0 pulse output
Communication via PLC, GSM/GPRS, or other media.
The meter functions which can be used in the system are defined by the
module (e.g. a 2 rate module is not able to control 6 rates in the meter).
Therefore, meter and module together define the functionality range which
can be used.
As the meter has a wide range of configuration possibilities, a specific
behaviour can in some cases differ from the description below.
Parameterisation The meters can be parameterised, i.e. specific parameters can be set with
software, so that the meters can be supplied according to the specific
wishes of the relevant utility.

 Retroactive modification of the parameters is not possible.

The parameters stored in the meter are protected against unauthorised


overwriting.
Details about parameter settings can be found in the functional description.

1.5 Characteristics
The meters have the following characteristics:
Recording of active and reactive energy in all 4 quadrants (ZMF100Cx)
or recording of active energy imported and exported (ZxF100Ax) with
up to 6 rates
Rate control performed via AMR module
Data display on LCD
Measuring elements in DFS technology (Direct Field Sensor based on
Hall Effect) with excellent measuring characteristics, including flat load
curve, high stability and good protection against interference.

1.7 Measuring Principle


1.7.1 Overview

Inputs The main meter inputs are:

Phase connection (L1, L2, L3) and neutral for


- energy measurement
- three-phase power supply of the meter
- PLC communication with communication modules (all phases
prepared)
Display button
Disconnector button (only if meter equipped with disconnector)

Outputs The main meter outputs (partly also inputs) are:

LCD to display measured values and the corresponding OBIS code


Optical test outputs (red, one for active and one for reactive energy)
Optical interface for automatic data readout on site by means of a
suitable HHT (Hand Held Terminal) (also input)
Secured AMR Interface for automatic data readout through an AMR
module, e.g. E35C module, with a PLC, GSM/GPRS or other medium
(also input).

Power supply The supply voltage for the meter electronics is taken from the three-phase
system. A voltage monitor guarantees a safety data storage in the event of
a mains voltage failure and a correct start-up after the return of the voltage.
Memory A non-volatile memory (EEPROM) contains the parameter set of the meter
and secures the stored measurements against loss due to power failure.

1.7.2 Signal generation


The three measuring elements, DFS (Direct Field Sensor based on Hall
effect), register the phase currents with the magnetic field of the current
loops and the phase voltages over a resistor divider. The analog/digital
converters transform both signals into digital voltage and current data. This
data is then multiplied by a digital multiplier to produce an energy propor-
tional value. The resulting value is fed into the microprocessor, which adds
the value to the corresponding values of the other phases and the sum is
then transferred into the corresponding energy registers (rate-dependent).
The microprocessor generates pulses for the test diodes from the digital
sum to the meter constant R.

1.7.3 Signal processing


The meter records active and reactive energy and can distinguish between
energy import and export in up to 6 rates (depending on configuration).
Calibration Calibration data is stored during the final testing of the meter.

10/51 Description of Unit

Start detection The microprocessor compares the measured power with the minimum
starting power. The signals are only passed on for summation if the mini-
mum starting power is exceeded.
Measured quantities The following energy values can be measured and stored in the registers:

Active energy A
Reactive energy R
Apparent energy S
The signals +A and +R are formed by summation for imported measured
active and reactive energy. The signals –A and –R are formed by summa-
tion for exported measured active and reactive energy. The combined totals
are the sum of the absolute values of +A and –A or +R and –R.
Energy type: kWh, kvarh or kVAh
Direction: Import, export, ± reactive
Source: Individual phase, summed etc.
Instantaneous Values: Voltage, current, frequency, power factor

Measurement There are 6 independent measurement channels. One of the measured


channels quantities can be assigned to each of this register.
Energy registers Each measurement channel has 6 rate registers and 1 total register. 42
registers are therefore available in total.
All registers work internally with 9 digits. The internal magnitude is Wh
(Watt-Hours). They cannot be reset. At 999999999, a rollover to 0 takes
place. The display and readout formats vary from the internal format.
Rates The meter is designed for up to 6 rates. The assignment of the rate regis-
ters is done by means of parameterisation and is shown on the face plate.
Rate control is performed by the external module.
Rate control With up to 2 rates, the rate switching is operated by the AMR Module directly
or by control inputs. The rate switching for more than 2 rates can be oper-
ated only by the AMR module.

Summation methods
Summation can take place in different ways:

Summation by vectors "Ferraris mode":


+A/–A As in Ferraris meters the meter summates the values of the individual
phases taking account to the sign. With differing signs (energy directions)
the sum corresponds to the difference between the positive and negative
values as shown in the figure below.
If the vectorial sum of the three vectors AL1, AL2, AL3 is positive, then active
energy is imported (+A).
If the vectorial summation of all three vectors AL1, AL2, AL3 is negative, then
active energy is exported (–A). See following figure.
The same applies to reactive energy. A distinction of the different quadrants
is also possible.

Summation by Summation by quantity separates the positive from the negative values of
quantity (magnitude) the individual phases. Measured quantity +A therefore only includes the
Σ+A/Σ–A positive values (+A1 and +A3 in example 1), measured quantity –A only
the negative values (–A2 in example 1), provided any are present.
In case of a connection error the meter measures correctly the real energy
consumption. It also measures a real export in the correct way.
For active energy import (+A) only positive magnitudes of AL1, AL2, AL3 are
counted. Negative magnitudes of AL1, AL2, AL3 are discarded.
For active energy export (–A) only negative magnitudes of AL1, AL2, AL3 are
counted. Positive magnitudes of AL1, AL2, AL3 are discarded.

Summation by single This method summates the quantity of the individual phases independent
quantities of the energy direction. A connection error – however – has no effect on the
Σ |A Lx| result of measurement.
But if there is a real export in one phase, this method leads to incorrect
measurement results.

The absolute magnitude summation can be used as an anti-tampering
measure. Here negative magnitudes of AL1, AL2, AL3 are added to the positive

Subtraction With this method the meter subtracts an exported energy from the impor-
|+A| – |–A| ted. It cannot detect a connection error.

 Use of vectorial and magnitude mode


ZFF meters must work in vectorial mode – we don‟t have energy values for
each phase (3 phases and only 2 measurement systems).

For ZMF most of the customers use vectorial mode too. Only some
customers use magnitude mode, mainly for tamper prevention.

The meter connections must not be under voltage during installation or
when opening. Contact with live parts is dangerous to life. The relevant
main fuses should therefore be removed and kept in a safe place until
the work is completed, so that other persons cannot replace them un-
noticed.
Local safety regulations must be observed.
The meters must be held securely during installation. They can cause
injuries if dropped.
Meters which have fallen, must not be installed, even if no damage is
apparent, but must be returned for testing to the service and repair de-
partment responsible (or the manufacturer). Internal damage can result
in functional disorders or short-circuits.
The meters must on no account be cleaned with running water or with
compressed air devices. Water penetrating can cause short-circuits.

2.4 Radio Interference

 Possible radio interference in residential environments


This meter is normally a class B product. In combination with some commu-
nication modules it can become a Class A product. In a domestic environ-
ment, this may then cause radio interference, in which case the user may
be required to take adequate measures.

4.1 Mounting the Meter
The meter should be mounted as follows on the meter board or similar de-
vice provided for this purpose (see also section 3.4 "Dimensions"):
1. Find the correct position for the meter. Ensure there are no wires
underneath the holes to be drilled.
2. Define the desired form of fixing (open or covered meter mounting).
3. Ensure with a phase tester or universal measuring instrument that the
connecting wires are not live.

Installation/De-installation 23/51

4.2 Connecting the Meter

Remove main fuses before connecting


The connecting wires at the place of installation must not be live when fit-
ting the meter. Touching live parts is dangerous to life. Remove the corres-
ponding main fuses and keep them in a safe place until work is completed,
so that they cannot be replaced by anyone unnoticed.

Provide overcurrent protection


For ZxF100xB meters: As the disconnector is not equipped with a thermal
and/or short circuit protection device, it needs to be protected with an exter-
nal fuse or overload switch.
For ZxF100xC meters: As the meter has no internal overcurrent protection
and no method of disconnection from the mains, this must be provided by
the end installation.

Connecting the phase connection lines


1. Shorten the phase connecting wires to the required length and then
strip them.
2. Insert the phase connecting wires into the corresponding terminals (the
terminals are numbered as shown in the connection diagram) and tighten
the terminal screws firmly (max. torque 3 Nm).
It is recommended to identify the beginning and end of the relevant conduc-
tors with a suitable test unit (e.g. buzzer) to ensure that the right consumer
is connected to the meter output.

L1 L2 L3 N

Phase connections
Fig. 4.3 Meter connections
With small conductor cross-sections (e.g. 4 mm2) the connecting line must
be placed in the indentation (stamping) of the current loops, so that it can-
not shift sideways when tightening the terminal screws. Ensure that the
connecting line remains in the indentation when tightening.

24/51 Installation/De-installation

 Insufficiently tightened screws


Insufficiently tightened screws of the connections can lead to increased
power losses at the terminals and therefore to undesirable heating. A
contact resistance of 1 m causes a power loss of 6.4 W at 80 A!

Insulate to correct length


Touching live parts is dangerous to life. Shorten the stripped part of the
connecting wire if bare wire is visible above the terminal edge.

Do not withdraw connecting wires with closed terminals


Never withdraw connecting wires with the terminal closed, since this could
damage the terminal.

4.3 Checking the Connections


Before putting the meter into operation check (and correct, if necessary) the
following points to ensure a correct connection:
1. Has the correct meter (identification number) been installed at the
measuring point of the relevant consumer?
2. Is the calibration connection closed (sealable sliding piece inserted
and sealed)?
3. Are all screws for the phase and neutral connections tightened well?
4. Are all inputs and outputs connected correctly? The house connection
or consumer fuse wires must be present at the input (terminals 1, 4, 7),
those of the meter to the consumer at the output (terminals 3, 6, 9).
5. Is the neutral conductor connected to terminals 10 and 12?
Interchanging of a phase with the neutral could destroy the meter.
Mount the terminal cover after a successful check of the connections,
tighten its screws and seal it.

4.4 Commissioning and Functional Check

Do not touch live parts


The main fuses must be inserted to put the meter into operation and for the
functional check. Without terminal cover there is a danger of contact with
the terminals. Touching live parts is a danger to life.

The installed meter should be put into service and checked as follows:
1. Insert the corresponding main fuses. The meter is on.
2. Check whether the display appears correctly (no error message) and
with no load connected that the anti-creep indicators are constantly on.
3. Connect a load and check whether the anti-creep indicator for active
energy disappears.
4. Check whether the disconnector (if present) works according to the
functionality specified for your application.

Installation/De-installation 25/51

4.5 Disconnecting the Meter

Remove main fuses before disconnecting


The connecting wires at the place of installation must not be live when
removing the meter. Touching live parts is dangerous to life. The corres-
ponding main fuses should be removed and kept in a safe place until work
is completed, so that they cannot be replaced by anyone unnoticed.

For ZxF100xB: Do not use the disconnector as a main switch for


disconnecting purposes! The meter remains connected to the mains!

Remove the meter from the network as follows:


1. Switch off the voltage. The display goes off.
2. Remove the seal at the terminal cover.
3. Release and remove the terminal cover.
4. Ensure with a phase checker that the connecting wires have no
voltage. If there is voltage, remove the main fuses.
5. Remove the connecting wires of the AMR Module, if available.
6. Loosen the terminal screws of the phase and neutral connecting wires
with a suitable screwdriver and withdraw the wires from the terminals.
7. Fit a substitute meter as described in section 4.2 "Connecting the
Meter" and the following sections, if necessary.

5.2.5 Display Sequence


The previous section showed in detail the possible displays. The display
sequences shown on any specific customer‟s product are set through para-
meterisation at the factory.
There are two display sequences:
Normal display sequence (NDS)
Certification display sequence (CDS) for service purposes
The normal display sequence can include up to 31 displays, the certification
display sequence up to 63 displays (defined by parameterisation).
The parameters which have an influence on the display sequence must be
defined in the configuration process.
These items are:
Leading zeros can be enabled/disabled for registers
Energy register displays can be defined with an integer part of 6 digits
(in exceptional cases 5) and with 0, 1, 2 or 3 decimal places. Max 6
significant digits (left of the decimal point) are allowed. Max. 8 digits
including decimal places are available.
Only 6 integer digits are allowed for meters according MID.
Active rate indication can be enabled or disabled
Flashing decimal point to indicate that the meter is in the certification
display sequence

Power up During power up of the meter the type and software version of the meter is
displayed for 10 seconds.

D000027979 c – E350 series 2 (ZxF100Ax/Cx) – User Manual © Landis+Gyr AG


32/51 Operation

The display contains:


In the main field "100" and the characters to define whether it is an
active or a combi meter respectively a meter with or without discon-
nector, e.g. 100 AB, 100 AC, 100 BC, 100 BB.
In the index field the software version,
e.g. 21 for version M21 or with alternative format: 2300 for M23.0.0.
Then the certification display sequence appears and scrolls through the list
items (Autoscrolling only after power up). If start-up time for certification
mode display is zero, the display starts directly with the main display list.
Certification display The certification display sequence allows tests to be carried out by allowing
sequence (CDS) registers to be displayed at higher resolutions, and is accessed when the
meter is first powered up, or on a long press (more than 5 seconds) of the
display button.
The items in the certification display sequence (maximum 63) can be scrol-
led through with short presses (less than 5 seconds) of the push button.
When the end of the sequence is reached, auto-cycling of the normal dis-
play sequence will start. Auto-cycling of the normal display sequence will
also start if the button isn‟t pressed for a period, configurable at manufac-
turing, of between 0 and 30 minutes (default 30 min.), or on a long press
of the push button.
Normal display The number of displays (max. 31) and their sequence (auto scroll) can be
sequence (NDS) parameterised, also the display duration for the items (between 1 and 15
seconds). After the last display in the auto scroll sequence, status messages
(e.g. error, tamper, low voltage) are displayed, and then it starts again. The
normal display sequence can be split by parameterisation into a limited
auto scroll part (e.g. the 5 most important displays) and an only manually
accessible part (the remaining displays). If the number of displays in the
auto scroll part is set to 1, auto scroll is switched off and the first display of
the normal display sequence is displayed continuously.
Up to 12 displays, under the control of the AMR module, can be included in
the normal display sequence.
A short press moves the display to the next item in the sequence. Re-
peated short presses will scroll through to the end of the sequence, then
"End" is displayed after which auto-cycling is resumed. Auto-cycling will
also be resumed after a configurable number of seconds from when the
button was last pressed. This "auto-cycle timeout" value can be configured
at manufacturing to between 5 and 60 s (default 30 s).
A long press will access the certification display sequence.
Example The following table shows a simple meter normal display sequence con-
figuration. The value of the total active energy import register is assumed
to be 000123456 Wh and that of the total reactive energy import register
000009876 varh. The registers are set to show 6 digits with 1 decimal
place. The leading zeros are not suppressed.

bit value in which each bit, if set, indicates a particular error condition. In
the following error display the error number "00002002" is composed of the
two errors "00000002" (Failed communication with the MMI device more
than 32 times) and "00002000" (Calibration value failed checksum).

The Import and the Export energy Meter values (St1 and St2) can be reset
by applying a long button press whilst the register value is being displayed
on the meter.
During power outage registers St1 and St2 are reset. These both registers
start after recover of power with the values of the energy registers of import
or export energy (St1: import, value register 1.8.0; St2: export, value
register 2.8.0)
Time during power outages is not included in the elapsed time
measurements of the registers “24 Hour Energy Consumption” and
“1 Week Energy Consumption”.
e.g. For the 24 h register assume registration for 5 hours followed by 1 hour
power outage. Then completion of the 24 h registration will complete 19
hours following the end of the outage (5 h + 19 h = 24 h)
After resumption of power following an outage, the registers “24 Hour
Energy Consumption” and “1 Week Energy Consumption” will display “0”
until the first refresh occurs (i.e. after 5min and 1 hour respectively).

5.3 Optical Test Outputs


The test diodes – one for active and one for reactive energy – are used for
meter testing. They transmit visible red pulses equivalent to the currently
measured value. The number of pulses per time unit depends on the meter
constant (as stated on the face plate). When registering energy the test
diodes will flash at a rate of 1 pulse per Wh or VArh of energy recorded.
The pulse width is 10 ms.

Fig. 5.4 Optical test outputs and optical interface

5.4 Optical Interface


All meters have an optical communications port (see Fig. 5.4). If the AMR
module supports this function, both meter and module can be accessed via
optical port. In this case, the AMR module has to be addressed.

© Landis+Gyr AG D000027979 c – E350 series 2 (ZxF100Ax/Cx) – User Manual


Operation 41/51

The optical interface allows reading the meter‟s registers and identity in the
field using a suitable device (Hand Held Terminal or PDA). The readout list is
in full accordance with the provisions of IEC62056-21. The optical port is
normally closed, a wake up string is sent to the meter, which activates the

readout list.

where xxxxxxxx is the meter number.
Opening 7214 7 bit, even parity, 1 stop bit, 4800 bps
This can be used to read out the module over the optical meter interface or
to set the TOU-table of the module.

5.5 Data Readout


The power supplier can read the meter data, particularly the energy con-
sumption, locally in two ways:
Reading the meter‟s LCD. Only the data shown in the display list can
be recorded.
Automatic data readout via the optical interface with the aid of an AMR
Module (e.g. hand held terminal T3000). Further data are then acces-
sible depending on the parameterisation (total registers etc.). Log cor-
responds to the provisions of IEC62056-21, a communication standard
for meters.

5.5.1 IEC 62056-21 Mode C


The meter supports IEC 62056-21 mode C-a. This enables the reading of
data from the meter in the data readout mode. After an initial sign-on se-
quence, the meter transmits its data to the HHT. This consists of a number
of items which are set in the configuration. Each item is sent in ASCII with
OBIS (IEC 62056-61) identifiers. Each identifier is on a separate line (sepa-
rated by carriage return and line feed characters CRLF) and follows the for-
mat Identifier (value*units).
The maximum transmission rate is 9600 bps. The response message iden-
tifies the software version and the IEC 62056-21 baud rate mode used.
The meter provides also a manufacturer specific mode C-C, which delivers
only a part of the read out list (start and end item are configurable during
production). This can be used for fast read out for frequently required
values.

5.5.2 Readout Configuration


The readout items, their order in the list, along with the number of decimal
places for the registers, are specified in the configuration. The register
sizes are fixed at 6 integer digits and have up to 3 decimal places. This is
independent on the display configuration.
The readout list (similar to the display list) consists of a number of specified
items. The customer specifies the readout sequence. This sequence is set
at the factory. All items are identified with OBIS codes when read out.

showed on display also a status register which shows the current status of
the device. The readout status register C.5.0 consists of 16 bits (2 bytes)
and describes the following:

Operation 43/51

The status register is available to be read via communication (public or


optical) or displayed on LCD in hexadecimal form.
Some meter configuration contains also a special code which is 4 bytes
long.
This code is described in the Functional description.
All reserved or not used bits are set to 0 by default.

5.5.4 Data Readout Procedure via Optical Interface or AMR Module


1. Start the AMR Module (according to the associated user manuals).
2. Connect the cable of the reader head to the Hand Held Terminal.
3. Place the reader head in the marked position on the face plate of the
meter. The reader head is held magnetically.
4. Start the data readout with the Hand Held Terminal.
5. Remove the reader head from the meter again after readout.

5.5.5 Addressability of meter


The meter monitors every communication request received over the optical
port or the AMR-interface. The AMR-interface can be controlled by various
inputs from the module (e.g. cs-interface-input).
With SW-versions M23 or higher the meter will react to the communication
request only under either of the following conditions:
- If the request contains no address,
- If the address matches with the address of the meter.
The address of the meter is preset to the serial number of the meter.
For SW-versions prior to M23 the meters reacts only if the request contains
no address.

Service 45/51

6 Service
6.1 Operating Faults
If the LCD is not readable or the data readout does not work, the following
points should be checked first:
1. Is the mains voltage present (main fuses intact)?
2. Is the maximum permissible ambient temperature not exceeded?
3. Is the optical interface and/or the liquid crystal display clean (not
scratched, painted over, misted over or soiled in any way)?
If none of the points listed is the cause of the fault, the meter should be
disconnected, removed and sent to the responsible Landis+Gyr service
centre (according to section 6.3 "Repairing Meters").

6.2 Error Codes


For a complete list of error messages see section 5.2.12 "Error descriptions
E350 Series 1 and Series 2" on page 37.
Non-persistent error messages are reset at the next readout. Persistent
error messages cannot be reset in the field. A meter showing a persistent
error message must be considered unsafe for further use and the next
steps have to be discussed with a Landis+Gyr Service Centre (see section
6.3).

6.3 Repairing Meters


The following procedure should be adopted if a meter repair is necessary:
1. If installed, remove the meter (see section 4.5) and fit a substitute meter.
2. Describe the error found as exactly as possible and state the name
and telephone number of the person responsible in case of inquiries.
Please also state serial no. and complete type designation no.
3. Pack the meter to ensure it is not damaged during transport. Use the
original packing, if available. Do not enclose any loose components.
4. Send the meter to an authorised service centre.

46/51 Maintenance

7 Maintenance
The meter is maintenance-free. The following points should be regularly
checked:
Is the meter dry and clean (particularly display and optical interface)?
Is the meter in operation and serviceable (displayed data reasonable)?
Are all seals undamaged?
Is there an error recorded based on periodical internal self tests since
the previous check (check on the display or readout list)?
Have the values of the energy registers changed within reasonable
limits since the last data readout (no unauthorised manipulations)?
Continue with section 6.3 "Repairing Meters" in case of irregularities.

7.1 Meter Testing


The meters are calibrated during manufacturing. A later recalibration is not
possible. Meter tests should be performed at periodic intervals according to
the valid national regulations (either on all meters or on specific random
samples). For this purpose, the meters must be removed as described in
section 4.5 "Disconnecting the Meter" and replaced by a substitute meter
for the duration of the test.

7.1.1 Higher Register Resolution


The meter features a certification display sequence which allows registers
to be displayed with 3 decimal places. See 5.2.5 "Display Sequence".
This sequence is entered by pressing the display button for more than 5 s.
It is left again if the display button is not pressed for a time between 0 and
60 minutes (default 30 minutes) determined by parameterisation.

This mode is used for accelerated product certification which can now be
done with 0.5 kW in about 2 minutes. It is indicated by a flashing decimal
point.

7.1.2 Measuring Times


For technical reasons higher measuring deviations can occur during short-
term measurements. It is therefore recommended to use sufficiently long
measuring times in order to achieve the required accuracy.

7.1.3 Optical Test Outputs


The red test diodes are positioned on the face plate.
LED for active energy: It supplies pulses with a value of 1 Wh of the import
or export energy measured. This corresponds to a meter constant of 1‟000
imp/kWh. For meter testing purposes, only the rising edge is decisive.
LED for reactive energy: The LED for reactive energy works similar, but
with values of 1 varh and a meter constant of 1‟000 imp/kWh.

7.1.4 Connection to a Meter Testing Device


To test the meter, connect it to a dedicated testing device.
The meter uses a voltage jumper whereby a spring contact connects the
voltage circuit of the meter to the phase terminal. By inserting a contact pin
of 2.5 mm diameter, the voltage and current circuits of the meter are sepa-
rated and the test voltage is connected via the contact pin. See Fig. 7.1.

D000027979 c – E350 series 2 (ZxF100Ax/Cx) – User Manual © Landis+Gyr AG


48/51 Maintenance

Fig. 7.1 Voltage jumper with test voltage connection


Procedure:
1. Connect the meter to the terminals of the testing device as shown in
the meter connection diagram and according to the usual testing
methods. Remove the access lock sliding piece, if present.
2. To connect the test voltage, use a connecting cable with a contact pin of
2.5 mm diameter and 40 mm length (± 1 mm). Insert this pin in the
opening provided on the front of the terminal block, right above the
measuring terminals.

Keep voltage cables free from voltage when inserting


Touching live contact pins can be fatal.

3. After testing, remove the cable (voltage-free!) from the terminal cover.
The spring closes the contact and the voltage is connected again.
Insert the access lock sliding piece again, if necessary, and seal it.

7.1.5 Creep Test


A test voltage Up of 1.15 Un is used for the creep test (no-load test)
according to IEC 62053-21 (e.g. Up = 265 V with Un = 230 V).
Procedure:
1. Disconnect the meter from the mains for at least 10 seconds.
2. Switch on the test voltage Up and wait approx. 10 seconds. Both the
active (circle) and the reactive (diamond) anti-creep indication must
now be permanently on. The energy direction indicators are off.

L1 L2 L3 k h

7.1.6 Starting Test


Procedure:
1. Apply a load current of 0.1% of the base current Ib or, for MID-meters,
of the reference current Iref, e.g. 10 mA with Ib=Iref=10 A, and the volt-
age Un (three-phase in each case). The meter must remain in creep.

50/51 Decommissioning, Disposal

8 Decommissioning, Disposal
This section explains the disconnection of the meter from the system and
its correct disposal.

8.1 Decommissioning
The procedure for disconnecting and removing the meter from the mains is
described in section 4.5.

8.2 Disposal
Based on the data specified in environmental certificate ISO 14001, the
components used in meters are largely separable and can therefore be
taken to the relevant disposal or recycling point.

 Disposal and environmental protection regulations


For the disposal of meters observe the local disposal and environmental
protection regulations in effect without fail.

Components Disposal
Printed circuit boards Electronic waste: disposal according to local regulations.
Metal parts Sorted and taken to collective materials disposal point.
Plastic components Sorted and taken to recycling (regranulation) plant or if
no other possibility to refuse incineration.
