TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
CAUTION
This is a Class A product. In a residential environment this equipment may cause radio interference. In this case, the user may have to take adequate countermeasures
ROGOWSKI SENSOR
The Rogowski sensor is a ring-shaped device designed for measuring AC, impulsive or complex waveforms. For its correct use
- wrap the ring on the conductor so that the arrow symbol on the ring points in theme direction as the current in the conductor
- make sure the connections are made correctly
- for a more precise measurement, the conductor wire must be placed in a centrosition with respect to the ring
- for a correct measurement, calibrate the Rogowski sensor by writing the calibration coefficient in the corresponding
.Modbus register (see the user manual).
Example: if the sensor is supplied with a characteristic of 90 mV / 1000 A, on the calibration registresponding to the phase in which the Rogowski sensor is applied, the value to be set is: 1000/ (90 · 10) = 1.11
NOTE ON ACCURACY: The product has a nominal accuracy of 0.5%. The total accuracy is the sum between the accuracy of the device and the accuracy of the Rogowski sensor connected to it.

WARNING
The DIP-switch settings are read only at boot time. At each change, perform a restart. For use and settings via DIP-SWITCH, see the user manual available on the website on the web page dedicated to the product.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS | |
SUPPLY R203-2-H4041![]() |
The power supply is connected to terminals 40 and 41.The supply voltage must be:90 ÷ 264 Vac, 50 ÷ 60 HzIt is advisable to insert a 1 A slow-blow fuse |
SUPPLY R203-2- L+ 40– 41![]() |
The power supply is connected to terminals 40 and 41.The supply voltage must be: 10 ÷ 30Vdc.It is advisable to insert a 1 A slow-blow fuse |
RS485
|
There is no isolation between RS485 and analogue output |
ANALOGUE OUTPUT10![]() Voltage +plied Current+ Supply current external |
The device provides a voltage output (0 ÷ 10 Vdc) or programmable active or passive current (0 ÷ 20 mA). For the electrical connections, screened cables are recommended. There is no isolation between RS485 and retransmitted output. It is necessary to program the outputs to use them correctly. |
DIGITAL OUTPUT![]() |
The device has two digital outputs. Capacity: Imax = 50 mA Vmax = 28V. See the user manual for the functions.*: Reversible polarity. |
DIGITAL INPUTDI1![]() |
The device is equipped with two digital inputs that can be activated with voltage from 12 to 24 V. See the user manual for the functions.*: Reversible polarity. |
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
CAUTION
The installation of this appliance must only be carried out by qualified personnel
Check that the device plate data (measurement voltage, auxiliary power supply voltage, measurement current, frequency) match the actual data of the network to which the instrument is connected. In the wiring, strictly observe the insertion
diagram; inaccuracy in the connections inevitably causes false measurements or damage to the instrument.
Once the instrument is connected, complete the installation with the device configuration
The earth connection of the secondary of CTs with current, voltage or Rogowski output is possible on the negative terminal. In the case of Rogowski sensors, the screen must always be connected to the negative terminal.
Current measurement is only possible using current transformers
It is advisable to insert a slow-blow 1 A fuse as indicated in the diagrams below.

FACTORY IP ADDRESS (ONLY R203-2-H AND R203-2-L)
The default module IP address is static: 192. 168. 90. 101
WEB SERVER (ONLY R203-2-H AND R203-2-L)
To access the Web Server with the factory IP address above, use the following credentials: Username: admin; Password: admin
CAUTION
DO NOT USE DEVICES WITH THE SAME IP ADDRESS IN THE SAME ETHERNET NETWORK.
ETHERNET CONNECTION RULES
For the Ethernet cabling between the devices, the use of the shielded CAT5 or CAT5e cable is required.
DAISY-CHAIN ETHERNET CONNECTION
CAUTION
IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO CREATE LOOPS WITH ETHERNET CABLES
Using the daisy-chain connection it is not necessary to use switches to connect the devices. Hollowing examples show the correct connections
There must be no loops in the Ethernet cabling, otherwise the communication will not work. The modules and switches must be connected eliminating any loops. The following examples show the incorrect connections
The LAN fault-bypass function allows you to keep the connection between the two Ethernet ports of the device ON, in the event of a power failure. If a device turns off, the chain is not interrupted and the devices downstream of the switched-off one will still be accessible. This function has a limit duration: the connection remains active for a few days, typically 4. The fault-bypass function requires that the sum of the lengths of the two cables connected to the switched off module is less than 100m.
