• Displays Per-Phase Apparent Powers (S).
• Shows Cos (Power Factor) values for each phase.
• Indicates Voltage (V) and Current (I) values for each phase.
• Tracks Total Import and Export Active Energy (kWh) values.
• Records Total Inductive and Capacitive Reactive Energy (kVArh) values.
• Monitors Minimum and Maximum values for various parameters.
• Allows resetting of Energy values.
• Features a Password Protected Menu for security.

Display and Indicators Overview

The TPM-01E features a clear display with various indicators to provide comprehensive information:

1. Unit of Value: Indicates the measurement unit for the displayed value.
   • L-N: Phase-Neutral Voltage.
   • L-L: Phase-Phase Voltage.
   • A: Current.
   • Cos: Cosinus Fi and Power Factor.
   • W: Watt (Active Power). A "-" sign indicates Export Active Power.
   • Var: Reactive Power. A "-" sign indicates Capacitive Power.
   • VA: Apparent Power.
   • kWh: Active Energy.
   • kVArh: Reactive Energy. A "-" sign indicates Capacitive Energy.
   • Hz: Frequency.
2. Phase Indication: Shows which phase the value belongs to (L1, L2, L3).
3. Value Type: Specifies the type of value shown (Minimum, Maximum, Average).
   • Min.: Indicates minimum values (Period: 2 seconds).
   • Max.: Indicates maximum values (Period: 2 seconds).
   • Average: Indicates average values (Period: 5 minutes).
4. Current Magnitude Indicators: LEDs that light up based on the current drawn from the system.
   • L: Lights if current in any phase is 1A or less.
   • M: Lights if current in any phase is between 1A and 4A.
   • H: Lights if current in any phase is greater than 4A.

Setup and Installation

The TPM-01E Energy Analyzer is designed for straightforward installation. Please follow these general guidelines:

1. Mounting: Securely mount the analyzer in a suitable electrical panel or enclosure using its integrated mounting mechanism. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
2. Wiring - Voltage Inputs: Connect the 3-phase voltage inputs (L1, L2, L3) and neutral (N) to the corresponding terminals on the analyzer. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with the product for correct phase sequence.
3. Wiring - Current Inputs (CTs): Connect the current transformers (CTs) to the respective current input terminals (I1, I2, I3). Ensure the CTs are correctly oriented around the phase conductors as indicated by arrows on the CTs.
4. Power Supply: Connect the auxiliary power supply to the analyzer if required (usually derived from the measured voltage lines).
5. Initial Power-Up: Once all connections are verified, apply power to the system. The analyzer display should illuminate.
6. Configuration: Access the password-protected menu to configure initial settings such as system type (e.g., 3P4W), CT ratios, and any other necessary parameters.

Note: Always ensure power is disconnected before performing any wiring or installation procedures. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about any steps.

Operating Instructions

The TPM-01E features an intuitive menu system for easy operation and data viewing. Use the control buttons (ESC, SET, DOWN, RIGHT) to navigate and interact with the display.

Navigating the Menu:

• SET Button: Used to enter menu options or confirm selections.
• DOWN Button: Used to scroll down through menu options or decrease values.
• RIGHT Button: Used to scroll right or move to the next digit/parameter during setting.
• ESC Button: Used to exit a menu or cancel an operation.

Viewing Measurements:

The display cycles through various measurement parameters. You can use the navigation buttons to manually cycle or hold certain buttons to view specific data points:

• Observe the unit indicators (L-N, L-L, A, W, Var, VA, kWh, kVArh, Hz) to identify the displayed value.
• The phase indicators (L1, L2, L3) show which phase the measurement corresponds to.
• Look for "Min.", "Max.", or "Average" indicators to understand the type of value being shown.
• The L, M, H LEDs provide a quick visual indication of the current magnitude.

Resetting Energy Values:

The analyzer allows for resetting of accumulated energy values (kWh, kVArh). This function is typically password-protected to prevent accidental resets.

1. Navigate to the "Energy Reset" option within the menu.
2. Enter the password when prompted.
3. Confirm the reset operation.

Refer to the full product manual for detailed instructions on menu navigation and specific parameter configurations.

Maintenance

The TPM-01E Energy Analyzer is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Adhering to these simple guidelines will help ensure its longevity and accuracy:

• Cleaning: Keep the device clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning the display and casing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the analyzer operates within its specified environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) to prevent damage.
• Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to inaccurate readings or device malfunction.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website periodically for any available firmware updates. Follow the provided instructions carefully if an update is necessary.
• Calibration: For critical applications, periodic calibration by a certified laboratory may be required to maintain measurement accuracy. Consult the manufacturer for recommended calibration intervals.

Caution: Do not attempt to open the device or perform internal repairs. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
