4. Setup and Installation
The ADL400 is designed for DIN rail mounting. Ensure all power is disconnected before proceeding with installation.
Image 4.1: ADL400 Dimensions. This image provides the physical dimensions of the ADL400 energy meter, showing a width of 72mm and a height of 90mm for the main body, with a depth of 65mm. These dimensions are crucial for proper DIN rail mounting and panel integration.
4.1 Mounting
- Mount the ADL400 onto a standard 35mm DIN rail in an electrical cabinet or distribution box.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the meter to prevent overheating.
4.2 Wiring (80A Directly Connect)
Refer to the wiring diagram (Image 3.1) for terminal connections. Use appropriate wire gauges for the expected current load.
- Voltage Inputs (UA, UB, UC, UN): Connect the three-phase voltage lines (L1, L2, L3) and the neutral line (N) to the corresponding terminals (UA, UB, UC, UN) at the top of the meter.
- Current Inputs (IA, IB, IC): For direct connect models, connect the load current lines directly through the meter's current terminals (IA, IB, IC) at the bottom. Ensure correct polarity.
- RS485 Communication (21, 22, 17, 18): Connect the RS485 A and B lines to terminals 21 and 22 respectively. Terminals 17 and 18 are typically for auxiliary power or other communication lines if applicable.
- Pulse Output: If using the pulse output, connect it to the desired monitoring system.
Warning: Incorrect wiring can cause damage to the meter and connected equipment, and poses a risk of electric shock. Always consult a qualified electrician for installation.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and powered, the ADL400 will automatically begin measuring energy. The LCD display shows various parameters, which can be navigated using the front panel buttons.
Image 5.1: ADL400 Display. This image shows the ADL400 energy meter's LCD display, indicating 'EP' (Energy Positive) and a reading of '184 kWh' for total active energy. Below that, '30.00' is displayed, which could represent instantaneous power or another parameter. The display also shows '400 imp/kWh', '3x220/380V 50Hz', and '3x10(80)A', indicating the meter's pulse constant, voltage rating, frequency, and current rating.

- Connection Check: Periodically inspect wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Ensure power is off before checking connections.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the operating environment remains within specified temperature and humidity ranges.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ADL400 meter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- No Display:
- Check if the power supply is connected correctly and is within the specified voltage range.
- Verify that the circuit breaker or fuse supplying power to the meter is not tripped or blown.
- Incorrect Readings:
- Ensure all wiring, especially current and voltage connections, are correct and secure. Incorrect polarity can lead to inaccurate readings.
- Verify the meter's configuration settings match the system parameters (e.g., voltage ratio).
- RS485 Communication Failure:
- Check RS485 wiring (A and B lines) for correct polarity and secure connections.
- Verify the meter's RS485 address and baud rate settings match the communication master.
- Ensure termination resistors are correctly applied if necessary in the RS485 network.
- Pulse Output Not Functioning:
- Confirm that the meter is measuring active energy.
- Check the connection to the pulse receiving device.
If problems persist, contact JUGJCKJL customer support or a qualified technician.
