The variables measured by the instrument are
correct if the polarities of the inputs have
been observed (as shown in the figure be-
low); if not, measuring and retransmission
errors may occur due to the wrong direction
of the current flowing in the primary / second-
ary of the connected current transformer.

■ Setting Examples
Example 1 “Analogue output”: take the measure of a power
consumed up to 100kW, and retransmit it with a signal from 4
to 20 mA; the module to be used is AO2920 (from 0 to 20mA),
the instrument must be set as follows:
• VAr: (variable), WΣ (system active power)
• LoE: (minimum electrical scale) 0.0 K; the K and M multiples
are automatically selected by the instrument according to
the selected VT and CT values;
• HiE: (maximum electrical scale) 100.0 K; the K and M
multiples are automatically selected by the instrument ac-
cording to the selected VT and CT values;
• LoA: (minimum electrical scale of the analogue output)
20.0% for 4mA, the calculation to be carried out is: (mini-
mum output value/ full scale output value)*100 = (4mA/
20mA)*100 = 20%
• HiA: (maximum electrical scale of the analogue output)
100.0% for 20mA, the calculation to be carried out is:
(maximum output value / full scale output value)*100 =
(20mA/20mA)*100 =100%

 20 Useful information
Example 2 “Use of digital filter”: it’s necessary to stabilize
the displayed value of the VL1-N variable that varies between
222V and 228V. The parameters of the digital filter are to be set
as follows:
• rnG: the variable varies within the average value, the ampli-
tude of which is equal to ±1.3% of the variable’s rated value,
calculated as follows:
(228-222)/2=±3V, then ±3*100/231V=±1.3% where 231V is
the phase-neutral rated value of a 400V input range). The
“range” parameter, that corresponds to the action range of
the digital filter, is set at a value which is slightly higher than
the percentage amplitude of the fluctuation: e.g. 2%.
• CoE: if the new value acquired by the instrument is within the
filter’s action range, then the new displayed value is calcu-
lated by summing algebraically to the previous value the
variation divided by the filtering coefficient. As a conse-
quence, a value which is higher than this coefficient implies
a longer settling time and therefore improves the stability.
The latter can also be improved by increasing the filtering
coefficient: the admitted values are within 1 and 16. Enter the
value in consecutive attempts until you reach the desired
stability.
■ CT and VT programming; Open collector Pulse
Digital Output Table
The CT is programmable from 1 to 5000, the VT is program-
mable from 1.0 to 199.9 and from 200 to 1999 (CT*VT ratio
limited to 5000). The CT must be programmed before the VT
because the programming of VT depends on the CT value: if
the CT is modified, then the VT value can automatically satisfy
the expression: CT*VT≤5000. If the CT or VT values are
modified, then the display resolution of the variables and of the
“pul” (pulses) parameter changes automatically according to
the table on the following page.
When the CT or VT value is modified, then the energy meters

are reset (after an alert message for confirmation). The reso-
lution of the energy meters is 0.1k (Wh/varh) with maximum
indication 19999999k (display from 0.0k to 1999999.9k and
from 2000000k to 19999999k). Once the limit of 19999999k is
reached, the meters are automatically reset.

■ The “Err” message in the currents page

The instrument takes the measure only for quadrants 1 and 4
(consumed energy). The active energy is obtained by integrat-
ing only the sum of the phase active powers on quadrants 1
and 4. Any active powers in quadrants 2 and 3 are forced to
zero and the message “Err” is displayed on the current page
to indicate a wrong connection. For the phases with active
power in quadrants 2 and 3 also the reactive and the apparent
powers are forced to zero. The single phase “var” indication is

always without sign. The “L” or “C” type are displayed with the
PF phase variables. The total system “var’s” are obtained by
summing algebraically the single phase “var’s” (“L” type “var’s”
are considered positive, “C” type “var’s” are considered nega-
tive). The system’s PF shows the “L” or “C” sign depending on
the result of the algebraic sum of the single phase “var’s”.
■ What is ASY
The ASY variable allows the user to control the symmetry of
the delta voltages (for systems without neutral) and star
voltages (for systems with neutral). The variable is calculated
according to the following formula:
Vmax - Vmin
ASY = * 100
Vavg

Where: Vmax is the max. value among VL1-N, VL2-N, VL3-N

Vmin is the min. value among VL1-N, VL2-N, VL3-N
Vavg is the average: (VL1-N, VL2-N, VL3-N)/3

The variable is not displayed by the instrument, but

can be retransmitted by the analogue or RS422 /
485 output and can be controlled by means of the
alarm.

■ Alarm digital output

The activation of the alarm can be high or low depending on how the
ON and OFF parameters have been set, as per the following table:

It may be useful to know that the menus displayed by

the instrument depend on its configuration; e.g.: the
instrument will not display the menu relevant to the
digital outputs if the optional module is not mounted.

IT IS IMPORTANT that the instrument is switched

off when you plug-in or disconnect the modules.

For SAFETY reasons, in the 20 (90)A version,

the tightening torque value of the current terminals must
be within 2Nm and 6Nm.

■ Open collector output connections

The grounds of the outputs are separate, so that it’s possible

to carry out two different connections for the same module.
The load resistance (Rc) must have a value that makes the
short-circuit current lower than 100mA, the VDC voltage must
be lower than or equal to 30V.

In the DUAL PHASE SYSTEMS both the voltage
inputs and the current inputs of phase 1 and 2 must
be connected and the system parameter must be
programmed like “3P.n”. Phase 3 must not be con-
nected.
The parameters of phase 3 are displayed at 0, the
system voltage variable and the asymmetry con-
trol are not correct.
