6.1 Safety/Warning Precautions

Safety Precautions
Dangerous voltages capable of causing death are sometimes present in this instrument.
Before installation or beginning of any troubleshooting procedures the power to all
equipment must be switched off and isolated. Units suspected of being faulty must be
disconnected and removed first and brought to a properly equipped workshop for testing
and repair. Component replacement and interval adjustments must be made by a company
person only.
Warning Precautions
Read the instructions in this manual before performing installation and take note of the
following precautions:
 All wiring must confirm to appropriate standards of good practice and local codes and
regulations. Wiring must be suitable for voltage, current, and temperature rating of the
system.
 Ensure that all incoming AC power and other power sources are turned OFF before
performing any work on the instrument. Protect the measurement AC Inputs voltage (V1, V2,
V3) with 2A external over current protection device and the power supply source inputs with
5A external over current protection device, located close to the equipment.
 Before connecting the instrument to the power source, check the labels on the instrument to
ensure that your instrument is equipped with the appropriate power supply voltage, input
voltages and currents. Failure to do so may result in serious or even fatal injury and/or
equipment damage.
 Under no circumstances don’t connect instrument a power source if it is damaged.
 To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the instrument to rain or moisture.
 The secondary of an external current transformer must never be allowed to be open circuit
when the primary is energized. An open circuit can cause high voltages, possibly resulting in
equipment damage, fire and even serious or fatal injury. Ensure that the current transformer
wiring is secured using an external strain relief to reduce mechanical strain on the screw
terminals, if necessary.
 Only qualified personnel familiar with the instrument and its associated electrical equipment
must perform setup procedures.
 Beware not to over-tighten the terminal screws.
 Read this manual thoroughly before connecting the device to the current carrying circuits.
During operation of the device, hazardous voltages are present on input terminals. Failure to
observe precautions can result in serious or even fatal injury or damage to equipment.
 Upon receipt of the shipment remove the unit from the carton and inspect the unit for shipping
damage. If any damage due to transit, report and claim with the carrier. Write down the model

Model: PM-2160-A
Issue no. 02
number and serial number for future reference when corresponding with our Customer
Support Division.
 Do not use this instrument in areas such as excessive shock, vibration, dirt, moisture,
corrosive gases or rain. The ambient temperature of the areas should not exceed the
maximum rating specified.

Model: PM-2160-A
Issue no. 02
6.4 PTs and CTs

Large electrical installations have high voltages and currents, which may exceed the direct
connection rating of the meter. In this case, Potential Transformers (PTs) and Current Transformers
(CTs) are used to precisely “step down” or reduce the voltage and current level to suit the meter
rating. Potential Transformers usually have a full-scale output of 110V ac RMS line-line and Current
Transformers, a full-scale output of 5A or sometimes 1A.
The PTs (Potential Transformers) and CTs (Current Transformers) must be planned, installed
and tested by a qualified electrical contractor before wiring the meter. The accuracy of the
measurement also depends on the accuracy and phase – angle error of the PTs and CTs. Instrument
Class 0.5 or better PTs and CTs are recommended. Do not use protection class CTs to feed the
Multifunction meter 2160-A; as they have poor accuracy and phase characteristics.
Ensure that the CT primary rating has been selected so that your normal load variation lies
between 40% and 80% of its full scale. If your CT is over-rated, say if the load is always less than
10% of the CT primary rating, accuracy suffers.
6.4.1 PT, CT Wiring
The PTs and CTs must have adequate VA rating to support the burden (loading) on the
secondary. You may want to support the auxiliary supply burden from one of the PTs. CT wiring can
impose additional burden (loading) on the CT. For example, if the CT has a 5A secondary and the
wire resistance is 1.0 Ω, then the CT has to support an additional burden of 5VA. The wiring distance
from the CT secondary to meter should be such that, VA of wire path between meter and CT along
with VA of meter should not exceed the VA rating of CT, otherwise the CT could get over-burdened
and give large errors.
Multifunction meter PM-2160-A should be conveniently located for easy connections of

voltage (PT) and Current (CT) signals.
Note:- Common Modbus details are given in following chapter, all above mentioned features are
available as described based on model selection.

terminals. (Refer Wiring Details)
When controllers are setup to communicate on a Modbus network using RTU (Remote Terminal Unit)
mode, each 8–bit byte in a message contains two 4–bit Hexadecimal characters. The main advantage
of this mode is that, it‟s greater Character density allows better data throughput than ASCII for the
same baud rate.
Use only following function codes for data read/write purpose
CODE MEANING ACTION

03 Read holding registers Obtains current binary value in one
or more holding registers.
04 Read Input registers Obtains current binary value in one
or more Input registers.
06 Preset single register Place a specific binary value into a
holding register.

below. When a slave detects one of these errors, it sends a response to the master consisting of
slave address, function code, error code and error check field.
To indicate that the response is a notification of an error, the high order bit of the function code is set
to 1.
CODE NAME MEANING
01 Illegal Function The message function received is not an
allowable action for slave.
02 Illegal Data Address The address referenced in the data field is not
an allowable address for the addressed slave
location.
03 Illegal Data Value The value referenced in the data field is not
allowable in the addressed slave location.
06 Slave Device Busy The slave is engaged in processing a program
command. The master should retransmit the
message later when slave is free.

ADDR CODE START START OF REG OF REG CHECK CHECK
ADDR ADDR FIELD FIELD
0x0A 0x01 0x00 0x24 0x00 0x02 0xFC 0xBB
The query requests the status of input 0036 in slave no. 10. Since the function is an invalid function
for 2160-A, so the following error response will be generated.
Response Message
SLAVE FUNCTION EXCEPTION ERROR ERROR
ADDR CODE CODE CHECK CHECK
0x0A 0x81 0x01 0xF0 0x52
The function field is the original function code with the high order bit set and exception code 01
indicates an illegal function field.
When slave device that is Multifunction meter is in the PROGRAM mode, a busy state is
transmitted indicating that slave device is busy and the master should retransmit the message
later when the slave is free. So here exception code 0x06 is transmitted. Response message is
shown below.

7.4.1 Read Holding Register (Function Code 03)
To get value of configuration parameters (CT Ratio, PT Ratio, Pls/KWh, Baud, Slave address etc.),
you have to use function code 03. Here the addressing allows up to Maximum 24 registers (Words) to
be obtained at each request.
7.4.2 Preset Single Register (Function Code 06)
Function (06) will overwrite controller memory.
Function (06) allows the user to modify the contents of a holding register for configuration parameter.
The values are provided in binary, up to the maximum capacity of the controller and unused higher
bits must be set to zero.
Example
This example will set the CT Ratio value in slave number 17. Here CT Ratio and PT ratio requires 2
integer register for each. So you should write higher integer and lower integer value to get whole
Ratio value. Suppose you want to write CT RATIO = 5,then you have to take 5000 to write because in
unit side this 5000 will be divided by 1000 i.e. you will get 5.Now Hex value of 5000 is 0x1388,so you
will take 0x00 for higher integer register and 0x1388 for lower integer register. The address of CT
Higher integer is 0x6D and value to be programmed is 0x0000.
Similarly you can do for lower integer and also for PT RATIO. The normal response to a preset single
register request is to transmit the query message after the register has been altered,
If the value is an illegal value then the response message will be an exception response (Error
Message). For the details of maximum and minimum values of any parameter refer to manual.

8. IMPORTANT NOTES
Before starting Installed Meter, Go through these notes:

General Setting & Condition for CT, PT ratio
 Confirm the connection configuration
 Confirm that all energy parameters, Hour parameters, MD parameters & Power
Interruption counter are going to start from zero, if not, make them zero by All Regs Rst.
 Vrated and Irated should be set equal to PT secondary P-N Voltage and CT secondary
Current Respectively.
 Apply proper CT – PT Ratio as per requirement, which must pass the below mathematical
conditions for 3P3W and 3P4W.
For 3P4W
3x1.2xVratedx1.2xIratedx CT Ratio x PT Ratio < 2,000,000,000
For 3P3W
2x1.2x√3xVratedx1.2xIratedx CT Ratio x PT Ratio < 2,000,000,000
 Select Energy type for LED Blinking as per your requirement.
 Confirm that Meter is calibrated.
 For Serial communication, MODBUS-RTU, RS485, you will get real/long data from
measurement.
 Factory set Password to access the Program mode is 0001.
 Some parameters in configuration are only for factory purposes so please don‟t disturb
these parameters like V rated, I rated & System.
 For 3p3w system, Display Menu will be changed and for modbus communication, follow
the address map for 3p3w.Program mode will be same.
ON Hour, LOAD Hour, IDLE Hour& Power Interruption Count

 ON Hour: The period for which the meter (supply) is ON
 LOAD Hour: Indicates the period the Load is ON and has run. This counter accumulates
as long as the load is greater than the starting current (0.1% of the Irate) set.
 IDLE Hour: Indicates the period of difference between ON Hour and LOAD Hour.
(ON, LOAD, IDLE Display two quantity Hours and Minute.
 Power Interruption Count: Number of Supply Outages, means the number of Auxiliary
Supply interruptions. If the meter Auxiliary Supply is from a UPS then the INTR (number
of interruptions) will be zero (as long as the UPS stays ON), even if the Voltage Signals
did die out from time to time.
It shows last Power OFF & Power ON time. [Available with RTC option only]
Energy Pulse O/P Constant Setting

 For Front Blinking LED, select energy type (i.e.-import/KWh-export/KVARh-
Import/KVARh-Export/KVAh/MWh-Import/MWh-Export/MVARh-Import/MVARh -
Export/MVAh) as per your requirement using Program mode, from OUTPUT and set the
value of constant. But here you can get maximum output pulse frequency (& LED Blinking
rate) up to 50 msec. so whenever you are using this feature; you should set value of
Meter-Constant such a way so it will not cross the limit of 50 ms pulse frequency.
 As pulse frequency is 50 msec, i.e. in one second maximum 20 pulses can be obtained,
hence in one hour maximum 72000 pulses can be obtained.
Total no of impulses/second can be calculated as below
(Vrate * Irate * CTR * PTR * Pulse Constant in Wh)/3600 <= 20.
 Example: Meter specification
 V rated = 240V, I rated = 5A, CT ratio = 40 and PT ratio = 100,
 Above meter can consume maximum of 4.8MWatt.
I.e. For 3600 pulses/KWh [3.6 pulses/Wh], it will generate 4800 pulses/sec as per above
equation, [240*5*40*100*3.6/3600 = 4800] so it will not work for the meter as it is more
than 20 pulses/sec
I.e. For 2000 pulses/MWh [0.002 pulses/Wh], it will generate 2.666 pulses/sec as per
above equation, [240*5*40*100*0.002/3600 = 2.66] so it will work for the meter as it is
less than 20 pulses/sec
This is for single phase only, in case of three phases, energy will be multiplied by three in
3p4w and hence pulses should be calculated for three phase energy.

Energy Calculation
Below formula used for finding the Total Active Energy Import.
Total Active Energy = [Running Active Energy (Import) + (WH-I Ov.count * 400G)]
(Import)
 Example:
Let‟s WH-I Ov.count = 5, Active[Im] = 20.3268 GWh then
Actually measured Total Active Energy (Import) = [20.3268 G + (5 * 400G)]

= 2020.3268 GWh
Above calculation is same for other energy (Active Export, Reactive Import, Reactive
Export, and Apparent Energy) can be find out using respective Ov.count and running
energy.
Energy Overflow Time Calculation

 When data type selected for modbus is FLOAT, Total apparent Energy will overflow from
400GVAhr then auto reset Apparent Energy, but when the ov.count of this energy (VA
Ov.count > 99) then meter will auto reset all energy parameter. This includes Active
import and export energy, Reactive Import and Export energy and apparent energy. Such
condition of overflow occurrence is depending on CT ratio and PT ratio.
Example:
For 110V V rated, and 1 A I rated multifunction meter is set for 100A and 66KV line with
CT Ratio of 100 and PT Ratio of 600.
 PT Primary = 66KV, PT Secondary = 110V Therefore select Vrated = 110V.
PTR = 66KV/110V=600 select.
CT Primary=100A, CT Secondary=1A Therefore select Irated = 1A.
CTR = 100A/1A=100 select in meter.
 Energy consumed per hour will be 66kV X 100Amps = 6600KVAHr.
 Time to overflow in Hr. = 400GVAhr / 6600KvaHr = 60606 Hr
 Days = 60606 /24 = 2525 Days
 Years = 2525 / 365 = 6.91 Years / Total of Three Phase.
 But our Apparent Energy Overflow Count Range are 1 to 99, therefore
Total Time to overflow in Years = 6.91*99 = 684.09 Years / Total of Three Phase.
 User has to manually reset All Regs Rst, when installing the meter first time.
 As above for 100A and 66KV line, PT Primary = 66KV, PT Secondary = 110V Therefore
Vrated = 110V select. PTR = 66KV/110V=600 select.
 CT Primary=100A, CT Secondary=1A Therefore Irated = 1A select. CTR = 100A/1A=100
select in meter.
Energy Resolution on Modbus

 Resolution of the energy parameter on the Modbus when data is transmitted in LONG
format is 100VAhr/Whr/VARhr rather than 1VAhr/Whr/VARhr, which is possible when
FLOAT data type is used. Because of the limitation of the Long Data type and to avoid
frequent reset, Data is transmitted in with above-mentioned resolution.
 Due to this resolution on display of the Meter will not be same as ON ModBus data, when
data is transmitted in LONG format. Multiplication factor given on master side is 0.0001.
Example:
Lets say on modbus data transmitted is 20098798 then on the master side it will be
20098798 * 0.0001 = 2009.8798 MWhr/MVAhr/MVARhr.
Which gives the resolution of the 0.1KWhr/KVAhr/KVARhr as described
above.
