4. Package Contents
The package typically includes:
- 1 x SDM120-Modbus Energy Meter
- 1 x User Manual (this document)
5. Setup and Installation
The SDM120-Modbus is designed for easy installation on a standard DIN rail.
5.1 Mounting
- Ensure the power supply to the installation area is completely off.
- Attach the energy meter to a standard 35mm DIN rail by pressing it down until it clicks into place.
5.2 Wiring
Refer to the wiring diagram below for correct electrical connections. The meter is designed for a 1-phase, 2-wire system.
Figure 5.1: Wiring Diagram and Dimensions. The wiring diagram illustrates connections for Live (L), Neutral (N), and RS485 (A+, B-, G) terminals. Dimensions are provided in millimeters.
- Connect the incoming Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires to the designated input terminals.
- Connect the outgoing Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires to the load terminals.
- For Modbus communication, connect the RS485 A+ and B- terminals to your Modbus network. Ensure proper polarity.
- Double-check all connections for tightness and correctness before restoring power.
6. Operating Instructions
Once properly installed and powered, the SDM120-Modbus will begin measuring energy consumption.
6.1 Display Readings
The digital display shows the accumulated energy (kWh). A circular button on the front panel allows cycling through different display parameters, if available, such as instantaneous voltage, current, power, frequency, and power factor. Refer to the device's specific firmware for the exact sequence of parameters.
6.2 Modbus Communication
The RS485 interface allows the meter to communicate with a Modbus master device. This enables remote reading of energy data and other parameters. Consult the Modbus protocol documentation for the SDM120-Modbus for details on register addresses and communication settings (e.g., baud rate, parity).
