Smappee MID 100A SERIES DIN Rail Smart Meters
User Manual v1.0
1 Introduction
This document provides operating, maintenance, and installation instructions for the Smappee MID 100A SERIES DIN rail smart meters. These units measure and display characteristics of single-phase two-wire (1p2w), three-phase three-wire (3p3w), and three-phase four-wire (3p4w) electrical networks. Key measured parameters include voltage (V), frequency (Hz), current (A), power (kW/kVa/kVar), and import, export, and total energy (kWh/kVarh). The meters can also measure maximum demand current and power over preset periods up to 60 minutes.
These units are rated for a maximum of 100A direct operation and do not require external current transformers (CTs). They feature built-in pulse, RS485 Modbus RTU, and Mbus outputs. Configuration is password protected.
1.1 Unit Characteristics
The Smappee MID 100A SERIES meters include models such as the i1-EN3-1, which measures kWh/kVarh, kW/kVar, kVA, Power (P), Frequency (F), Power Factor (PF), Demand (dmd), Voltage (V), Current (A), and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD%), with pulse/Modbus output and tariff capabilities.
1.2 RS485 Serial Modbus RTU
The RS485 serial port utilizes the Modbus RTU protocol, enabling remote monitoring and control of the unit. Setup screens are available for configuring the RS485 port parameters.
1.3 Mbus
The Mbus port uses the EN13757-3 protocol for remote monitoring and control, with dedicated setup screens for configuration.
1.4 Pulse Output
Two pulse outputs are provided to signal measured active and reactive energy. Pulse output 2 for active energy has a fixed constant of 400imp/kWh and a fixed pulse width of 100ms. Configurable pulse output 1 defaults to 400imp/kWh with a 100ms pulse width, and its settings can be adjusted via the setup menu.
2 Start-up Screens
Upon power-up, the meter displays all segments for a display check. This is followed by the software version information. The unit then performs a self-test, indicating the result. After a brief delay, the screen displays the active energy interface, showing the total active energy in kWh.
