CUT-OFF DEVICE 

• The single-phase meter GLOBY-M integrates a cut-off device used to control the power supply. The cut-off device is implemented by a latching relay. The meter is designed in order to integrate latching relays provided by different vendors.
• The relay will be provided already assembled with input/output terminals, shunt and Current Transformer.

The re-connection of cut-off device, can be performed in two ways:

• Locally: pushing the meter’s front button;
• Remotely: via remote protocol command or automatically, after the circuit ZLOAD has checked the variation of impedance between phase- neutral or phase – phase conductors (It is considered as an option for the production of meters). It can be performed
• by the customer opening and closing the main breaker installed after the meter in the customer network.
• This device has no protection capabilities and it can be used to “open” or “close” the output terminals of the meter through appropriate software commands (e.g. expiration of the contract, tampering detection, bad payer, power consumption higher than a limit…)
• The customer has no way of opening the relay through any type of command, but it can only, by pressing the button, close it (if the closure is enabled by the software).
• The “open” circuit position is indicated in the meter display by activating a dedicated icon.
• When the relay is open, the icon shown in the side image is active on the display.
• In this case, the output terminals are not powered.

 TERMINALS 

GLOBY-M’s input and output terminals are located on the front side of the meter (protected through the terminal cover) and they are marked with simbols “1”, “3”, “4” e “6” to indicate:

• 1 -> Phase line input
• 3 -> Phase line output
• 4 -> Neutral input
• 6 -> Neutral output

For more details please refer to section 7.4.

PACKAGING 

METER INSTALLATION

• Only qualified persons (i.e. in possession of the requirements of the applicable technical standards and national legislation) may perform the installation procedures.
• Safe and reliable installation is the responsibility of the installer.
• Before to install the CE, the operator must review the safety instructions in the product documentation. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in personal injury or equipment damage.
• The meter must not be installed outdoor, but it has to be installed indoor, in a position such that the display, the push button and the input/output terminals are easily accessible.
• The safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

2. Active energy and Active power measurement, positive and negative
3. RMS current and RMS voltage measurement
4. Reactive energy and Reactive power measurement in all four quadrants
5. Load profile recording, for active and reactive energy in all four quadrants
6. Management of customer contracts for billing purposes
7. Management of weekly tariff profiles based on different types of tariffs and daily time intervals
8. Management of a seasonal tariff program
9. Management of programmable public holidays
10. Management of billing periods. For each billing period is stored, measurement data, power maximum demand and time stamp of the billing period closure.
11. Management of daily closure
12. Remote communication with DCU or central system (according to the communication module)
13. Customer available power threshold is remotely programmable
14. Display of consumption data and service communications (displayed data are those measured by the meter).
15. The meter allows two display modes: automatic and manual. The default mode is the automatic one which cyclically shows the basic information for customer without the need to interact with the meter. Through the manual mode it is possible to activate submenus (by pressing the push button) in which additional information is shown to support technical and qualified personnel (date, time, software version…).
16. Remote programming and initialization of tariff system and contractual parameters
17. Remote synchronisation of Clock/calendar. Synchronisation doesn’t affect historical data and it can be managed to prevent difference of more than a programmable threshold (e.g. 3 minutes) between the official time and the time of the meter.
18. Clock/calendar of the meter is configurable in a flexible way: it can be referred to local time (according to national standard for quality of service) without variation during of the year or implementing automatically the DST time activation. The time adjustments that can be necessary for other purposes are made by the respective systems of each Distribution Company, without affecting the time settings of the SMMC components.
19. Remote supply disconnection and enabling of manual/automatic connection by means of a cut-off device
20. Zload functionality;
21. Storage of configuration data and metrological information even without power supply for the entire lifetime of the meter (storage in non-volatile memory)
22. Self diagnostic of the main elements and functional blocks
23. Detection and recording of case openings and/or SW modifications
24. Detection strong external magnetic fields by magnetometer installed on PCB;
25. Optical pulse output device used for testing the meter (active or reactive energy)
26. Non-interfering harmonization with other communication systems on LV network
27. ZVEI optical port communications compatible with CEI EN 62056-21, required for local communications
28. Load modulation management (load shedding)
29. Management of firmware downloading procedure;
30. Management of traceability of Firmware Download;
31. Data and firmware integrity verification in compliance to Welmec guide 7.2 requirements;
32. RF spontaneous management
33. Event Log;
34. Monitoring of microcontroller functionality;
35. Voltage variation management: the meter is able to detect and store Low Voltage Variation respect to the nominal value.
36. Voltage Interruption management. If a voltage interruption occurs, the meter is able to save – before switching off – all legally relevant information and those relating to the state of the relay (if it is closed or open and if a power limitation is active). In this way, when the power supply is restored, the meter can resume the operation mode it had before the interruption (including communication).

The use of “GLOBY-M” is aimed at measurement of active and reactive energy (a.c. current). It is possible:

• to have information about the contractual/billing data (please refer the following section) using the push button and display;
• power on the output terminals using the push button (only if the closure of the relay is enabled).

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified in this document, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. When the CE detects active energy consumption/export, the pulse emitter will start to blink: one blink every 0.25 Wh measured. The pulse emitter is normally linked to the measurement of active energy, however, for service reasons, it is possible to configure the meter to monitor the reactive one. In this way, when the meter detects consumption / production of reactive energy, the pulse emitter will begin to flash: it will flash every 0.25 varh measured. Once installed, the meter can be removed from the place of use only by qualified persons after indication of the LV network distributor, otherwise it must remain stationary and it cannot be moved from the point of installation for any reason.

DISPLAY

The CE is equipped with a display through which the messages that are configured by the DSO are shown. The display of these messages can be “automatic” (the information will scroll on the display without any interaction) or “manually” (through the use of the button on the front of the meter). The “manual” display allows the management of a “tree” menu, which can be navigated through short and long presses of the button (the short press goes to the next message, while the long one activates another submenu). The “manual” mode can be integrated with the “automatic” one: in this way a certain number of messages scroll continuously on the display automatically, but by pressing the button another menu will be activated.
For example, the following information may be displayed:

• Time and date;
• Energy Consumption (active and reactive);
• Active Tariff;
• Power Consumption;
• Instantaneous Voltage and Current
• Etc…

The DSO has the faculty to program in different way the information shown on the display in this menu according to its needs and national rules, however, at least the following messages will be always shown:

• Date and time;
• Positive active energy totalizer
• Software version and checksum

There are also a series of icons on the display that are activated when certain conditions occur. Below are more details:

The lack of messages on the display after pressing the button can be caused or by the incorrect feeding of the CE (not properly fixing on the input terminals, lack of voltage from the low voltage network) or by a malfunction of the display or of the meter. If a status that prevents the correct visualization of the messages on the display (malfunction or incorrect installation) is detected, the distributor must be contacted to replace the meter.

CUT-OFF DEVICE

Through the relay located inside the meter it is possible to power on or power off the output circuit of the meter. Other details on the Cut-off device are available on section 5.2 The meter implements a software functionality that can manage the disconnection of the customer in the following cases:

• Instantaneous absorbed power is higher than a programmable limit (chosen in conformity to the Imax of the meter);
• Current absorbed is higher than the available based on the contractual power;
• The customer is a bad payer;
• The customer is out of contract;
• The meter detects a tampering action.

In the two three cases e in the case of magnetic tampering detection, it is possible to power on again the meter without the need to contact the supplier. In the other cases, the output terminals cannot be power on again without the intervent of the DSO of the meter.

COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS WITH INTERFACES, SUB-UNITS OR MEASURING INSTRUMENTS 

GLOBY-M is equipped with: 

• ZVEI optical interface compliant with IEC / CEI EN 62056-21 for local
• The pulse emitters, one for active energy and one for reactive energy

Communication module:

• GNG3 – HYBRID RF + PLC MODULE:
• This module implements a hybrid 915MHz RF module, FCC and CENELEC-A band PLC module that can be used to allow hybrid communication between the meter and the low voltage concentrator. The hybrid module is on a specific board with its own μC,
• RF transceiver and RF power amplifier; this board is connected to the meter μC by UART port. Hybrid module μC embeds a BE controller for Bluetooth communication only for operation.

This device is installed, already assembled in the meter, during the manufacturing process and are certified according to the applicable regulations for radio modules (RED/FCC).

MAINTENANCE AND ASSISTANCE
