- Connect Line A (Input/Output) to the designated terminals.
- Connect Line B (Input/Output) to the designated terminals.
- Connect Line C (Input/Output) to the designated terminals.
- Connect the Neutral Line (Input/Output) to the designated terminals.
- For pulse output functionality, connect the pulse output wires to terminals 15 and 16 as indicated in Figure 5.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent loose contacts and potential hazards.
6. Operation
Once properly installed and powered on, the meter's LCD display will illuminate. The meter automatically begins measuring energy consumption.

6.1 Display Navigation
The red button on the front panel is used to cycle through various display parameters. Press the button briefly to switch between:
- Total Energy KWh
- Positive KWh
- Negative KWh
- Total Reactive Energy KWh
- Voltage (per phase)
- Current (per phase)
- Active Power (total and per phase)
- Reactive Power (total and per phase)
- Power Factor (total and per phase)
- Frequency
The display also shows an 'Active' indicator (red LED) which flashes at a rate of 400 imp/KWh, indicating active energy consumption.
7. Maintenance
The DTS6619-041 energy meter is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, periodic checks can help ensure optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the meter's exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the wiring connections to ensure they remain tight and free from corrosion.
- Environment: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity limits to prevent damage.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your energy meter, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Meter display is blank | No power supply; incorrect wiring; internal fault. | Check power connections and ensure voltage is present. Verify wiring according to the diagram. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Inaccurate readings | Incorrect wiring; meter not calibrated; external interference. | Double-check all wiring connections. Ensure the meter is installed correctly. If readings are consistently off, contact support. |
| Button unresponsive | Temporary software glitch; physical damage. | Try briefly disconnecting and reconnecting power (if safe to do so). If the button remains unresponsive, contact support. |
