4. Installation and Setup
The DTSD1352 meter is designed for DIN rail mounting. Ensure the mounting location is free from excessive vibration, moisture, and direct sunlight. Maintain adequate clearance around the meter for ventilation and wiring access.
4.1 Mounting
- Securely attach a standard 35mm DIN rail in the desired location.
- Clip the DTSD1352 meter onto the DIN rail, ensuring it is firmly seated.
4.2 Wiring
Correct wiring is critical for accurate measurement and safe operation. Refer to the wiring diagrams below for guidance. The DTSD1352-C 80A RS485 model supports both direct connection and connection via Current Transformers (CTs) for higher current applications, though this specific model is rated for direct connection up to 80A.

Figure 4.1: Wiring diagrams for the DTSD1352 energy meter. The top diagram illustrates a 3-phase 4-wire direct connection (Down in & Down out). The bottom diagram shows connection via Current Transformers (CTs) for higher current applications, including a fuse for protection.
4.2.1 Direct Connection (3P4W)
For direct connection, connect the three phase lines (A, B, C) and the neutral line (N) to the corresponding input terminals. Connect the load to the output terminals. Ensure correct phase sequence and secure connections.
- Ua, Ub, Uc: Phase voltage inputs.
- N: Neutral input.
- Ia, Ib, Ic: Phase current inputs (for direct connection, these are integrated).
- RS485: Connect A and B terminals for RS485 communication.
4.2.2 Connection via Current Transformers (CTs)
While the DTSD1352-C 80A model is primarily for direct connection, other variants may use CTs. If using CTs, ensure the CTs are correctly oriented (P1 to source, P2 to load) and their secondary windings are connected to the meter's current input terminals (Ia*, Ib*, Ic*). A fuse should be installed for protection as shown in the diagram.
4.3 Initial Power-Up
After wiring, apply power to the meter. The LCD display should illuminate and show initial readings. Verify that the voltage and current readings are plausible for your system.
5. Operating Instructions
The DTSD1352 meter features an LCD display and four control buttons for navigation and parameter viewing.
5.1 Display Overview
The LCD display shows various electrical parameters. The default screen typically displays active power (kW) and phase voltage (Ua).
5.2 Button Functions
- SET Button: Used to enter parameter setting mode or confirm selections.
- Arrow Buttons (Left, Right, Up, Down): Used to navigate through different display screens, view various parameters (voltage, current, frequency, power factor, active energy, reactive energy, etc.), and adjust values in setting mode.
5.3 Viewing Parameters
Press the arrow buttons to cycle through the available measurement parameters on the LCD display. Common parameters include:
- Voltage (Ua, Ub, Uc, Uab, Ubc, Uca)
- Current (Ia, Ib, Ic)
- Active Power (P)
- Reactive Power (Q)
- Apparent Power (S)
- Power Factor (PF)
- Frequency (Hz)
- Total Active Energy (kWh)

5.4 RS485 Communication
The meter supports RS485 communication using the MODBUS-RTU protocol. Refer to the detailed communication protocol document (not included in this manual) for information on addressing, baud rates, and register maps for remote data acquisition.
6. Maintenance
The DTSD1352 energy meter is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, periodic checks are recommended.
- Cleaning: Clean the meter's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Connection Check: Periodically inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Environmental Check: Ensure the operating environment remains within specified temperature and humidity ranges.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display/No power | No power supply; Loose wiring; Internal fault. | Check power supply to the meter. Verify all wiring connections are secure. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Incorrect readings | Incorrect wiring; Incorrect CT ratio setting (if applicable); Faulty meter. | Review wiring diagrams and ensure correct connections. Verify CT ratio settings. If readings are still incorrect, contact support. |
| RS485 communication failure | Incorrect wiring (A/B reversed); Incorrect communication parameters (baud rate, address); Software issue. | Check RS485 wiring (A to A, B to B). Verify communication parameters in the host system. Consult the communication protocol document. |
| Meter not accumulating energy | Incorrect current input; Reverse current flow (for unidirectional meters); Internal fault. | Verify current input connections and direction. Ensure the meter is suitable for bidirectional measurement if required. |
