3. Opsætning og installation

The EASTRON SDM630MCT V2 is designed for DIN rail mounting within an electrical enclosure. Proper installation requires knowledge of electrical systems and adherence to local electrical codes. It is strongly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified electrician.

3.1 Current Transformer (CT) Connection

This meter requires external Current Transformers (CTs) for operation. CTs are essential for measuring current in high-amperage circuits and provide isolation between the measurement device and the main power lines. The meter supports 1A or 5A CT inputs. Ensure the CTs are correctly sized for your application and connected according to the wiring diagram provided in the full product manual.

CT-powered meters are widely used to monitor power grid operation. Multiple CTs may be installed for different applications, such as protective devices and revenue measurement, to ensure proper isolation and allow for CTs with varying characteristics (accuracy, overload capacity).

3.2 Modbus RS485-forbindelse

The Modbus RS485 interface allows the meter to communicate with other devices, such as data loggers, PLCs, or building management systems. Connect the RS485 A and B terminals to your Modbus network. Ensure proper polarity and termination resistors are used as per Modbus standards. The meter's Modbus address can typically be configured via the device's menu.

3.3 Fysisk installation

1. Mount the meter securely on a standard 35mm DIN rail within an appropriate electrical enclosure.
2. Tilslut voltage inputs (L1, L2, L3, N) as per your single or three-phase system configuration.
3. Connect the secondary windings of the Current Transformers to the meter's CT input terminals. Ensure correct phase and direction.
4. Connect the Modbus RS485 communication lines (A and B) and any pulsed output lines if required.
5. After installation, the sealing hole can be used to apply a safety seal, preventing unauthorized tampering.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

The EASTRON SDM630MCT V2 features an intuitive interface for easy operation and data retrieval.

4.1 LCD-skærm og navigation

The backlit LCD display provides real-time readings of various electrical parameters. Navigation through the display screens and configuration menus is done using the front panel buttons (typically 'M' for Menu/Mode, 'Up' and 'Down' arrows for navigation, and 'Enter' for selection).

4.2 Viewing Measurements

Upon power-up, the meter typically displays the total energy (kWh). Use the navigation buttons to cycle through different measurement screens, which may include:

• Voltage (V) per phase and line-to-line
• Strøm (A) pr. fase
• Aktiv effekt (kW) pr. fase og i alt
• Reactive Power (kVAr) per phase and total
• Apparent Power (kVA) per phase and total
• Kraftfaktor (PF)
• Frekvens (Hz)
• Import/Export kWh and kVArh
• Maximum Demand (Max.DMD)

4.3 Configuration (Advanced Users)

The meter allows configuration of various settings, such as the CT ratio, Modbus address, baud rate, and pulse output parameters. Accessing and modifying these settings typically involves entering a password-protected menu. Refer to the detailed product manual for specific instructions on menu navigation and parameter configuration.

F.eksample, some users have reported that when connecting to specific inverters (e.g., Growatt), the Modbus address may need to be set to '2' for proper communication.

Note: Incorrect configuration can lead to inaccurate readings or communication issues. Only modify settings if you are familiar with the required parameters.

5. Vedligeholdelse

The EASTRON SDM630MCT V2 is designed for long-term, reliable operation with minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure optimal performance:

• Rensning: Hold målerens display og casing clean using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Forbindelser: Periodically inspect all wiring connections (voltage, CT, Modbus, pulse outputs) to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to inaccurate readings or intermittent operation.
• Miljø: Ensure the meter is operating within its specified environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) to prevent damage and ensure accuracy.
• Firmwareopdateringer: While not typically user-serviceable, check with EASTRON support for any available firmware updates that might improve performance or address known issues.

Advarsel: Always disconnect power to the meter and associated circuits before performing any inspection or maintenance to prevent electric shock.
