1. Installation Guide
2. Preparazione pre-installazione

Essential Tools

Insulated tools (voltage tester, insulated gloves)

Screwdrivers (flathead/crosshead), torque wrench (2-4N·m)

Wire stripper (stripping length 8-10mm)

Cables (circuito principale: ≥4mm² copper core wire; control circuit: ≥1.5mm²)

35mm DIN rail (length ≥15cm)

Cable terminals, cable ties, phase sequence labels

Precauzioni di sicurezza

Power must be disconnected and no voltage confirmed before installation

Installation shall only be performed by certified electricians in compliance with electrical safety regulations

Inspect all wiring before restoring power after installation

2. Passaggi di installazione

Fare un passo 1: Meter Fixing

Select a dry, well-ventilated, and vibration-free location

Align the rail clips on the back of the meter with the 35mm DIN rail

Press down firmly until a “clic” sound is heard to ensure secure installation (see Figure 1)

Fare un passo 2: Cablaggio del circuito principale (Three-phase Four-wire)

Operation Key Points

Strip wire insulation to a length of 8-10mm to ensure no exposed copper strands

Use matching terminals and crimp securely for good contact

Tighten screws to the specified torque (2-4N·m) to prevent loosening

Fare un passo 3: Control Circuit and Communication Connection

RS485 communication: Connect A to A, B to B, and ground the shielding layer

4G antenna: Screw the antenna onto the antenna interface of the meter case to ensure good signal reception

3. Post-installation Inspection

Wiring Inspection

Confirm all connections are tight without loosening or short circuits

Check that the phase sequence is correct (L1→L2→L3)

Verify that the PE wire is properly grounded

Function Test

Turn on the power and check if the LCD display works normally

Inspect the status of indicator lights (power, communication, alarm, ecc.)

Test remote connection via APP or management platform

Verify that functions such as prepayment and alarm work properly

1. Operation and Maintenance
2. Basic Operation

LCD Display

The main interface displays total electricity consumption (kWh)

Press the “▲” E “▼” keys to switch and display phase-by-phase parameters, power, tariffs, ecc.

Press the “OK” key to enter the menu and view detailed information

Remote Access

Download the matching APP (per esempio., Schneider EcoStruxure)

Bind the meter by scanning the QR code on the meter or entering the device ID

Real-time monitoring, parameter setting, and recharge via the APP

2. Raccomandazioni per la manutenzione

Ispezione regolare (Monthly)

Check if terminals are loose (especially in vibrating environments)

Observe if the LCD display works normally without missing segments

Inspect communication indicator lights for normal operation (4G signal strength ≥ 2 bars)

Record meter readings and compare with electricity consumption data

Long-term Maintenance (Quarterly)

Clean the meter case with a dry cloth (solvents are prohibited)

Check if the installation is secure without displacement

Verify that the 4G antenna connection is intact
