Settings Mode
Meter Settings
Press V/A and H together to enter the mode selection screen. Press P or E to
move the cursor left or right respectively to "Setting" tab then press V/A. Before
accessing the parameter setting mode, a four digit password is required every
time. The default password is 0000.
4 options are available in the parameter selection
page. "SYS" for system parameter, "I/O" for I/O module
parameter, "NET" for Ethernet module parameter, "ALM" for
alarm parameter. Press P or E to move the cursor down or
up respectively. Press V/A to enter the selected parameter
settings page.

Wiring Diagram, PT and CT Settings

Enter SYS page, press P or E to scroll through setting pages, press V/A to change
a parameter. Scroll to page S04 for voltage wiring, S05 for current wiring, S06
for primary side PT ratio, S07 for secondary side PT ratio, S08 for primary side CT
ratio, S09 for secondary side CT ratio. For PT and CT ratio settings, press P or E to
increase or decrease digit by 1 respectively, press H to move cursor to next digit,
press V/A to accept change.

Communication
The meter has a standard RS485 communication port and optional Ethernet or
Profibus communication modules. The meter supports dual communication
which means the RS485 serial communication can be used together with either
Ethernet or Profibus connection.

Serial Communication Settings

Serial communication terminals are A, B, S (14, 15, 16). A is differential signal +,

7
B is differential signal and S is shield. Up to 32 devices can be connected on a
RS485 bus. The overall length of the bus cannot exceed 1200m (4000ft). When
multiple meters are connected serially on the same RS485 bus, each meter shall
have a different device address. Enter SYS page and scroll to page S01 to set the
device address. This address can be any integer between 1 and 247.
Baud rate can be selected from one of the six values: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200 and 38400 bps. Acuvim IIR/IIE needs to set S31 Parity to one of the
followings: Odd, Even, None1 (stop bit 1), None2 (stop bit 2). By default it is set as
None1.

Ethernet Communication Settings (if equipped)

Enter NET page, press P or E to scroll through setting pages, press V/A to change
a parameter. Scroll to page N02 for IP address, N03 for subnet, N04 for gateway,
N07 for Modbus port, N08 for HTTP port. To set a value, press P or E to increase or
decrease digit by 1 respectively, press H to move cursor to next digit, press V/A to
accept change.

I/O Options (if equipped)

Three types of IO modules with different IO combinations are available:

Note: Maximum 3 modules for 1 meter, only 1 communication module for 1 meter
and maximum of 2 same type IO module for 1 meter.
IO parameters can be set or viewed either from the meter front or through
communication using utility software. Please refer to IO modules user's manual
chapter 3 for operation details.

I/O Module Appearance and Dimension Unit: mm (inches)

90.00 (3.543)

55.60 (2.189) 19.50 (0.768)

Digital Input (DI)

External power supply (20~160 Vac/dc) is required for the digital inputs. DI can be
used as pulse counter, to monitor switch status or to monitor sequence of events.

Digital Output (DO)

Two modes available: alarm output, energy pulse output. One module only
supports one mode at a time. In alarming mode, conditions can be set using the
utility software. In energy pulse mode, output parameters can be set from the
meter front or from the utility software.

Relay Output (RO)

Two modes available: control (latch or pulse) and alarm output (latch only).
One module only supports one mode at a time. In control mode, relays can be
switched on and off from the utility software. In alarming mode, conditions can
be set using the utility software.
9
Analog Output (AI)
Each module only supports one type of input (either current option or voltage
option). Tracking object and upper/lower limit can be set from the front panel
control keys or from the utility software.

Analog Output (AO)

Each module only supports one type of output (either current option or voltage
option). Tracking object and upper/lower limit can be set from the front panel
control keys or from the utility software.

Alarming
16 alarming channels can be selected from 48 available parameters. Alarming
channels and conditions can be set from the utility software. Please refer to
Acuvim II users manual section 4.4 for details.

Data Logging (Acuvim IIR/IIE only)

Acuvim IIR/IIE has a total of 4MB of on board memory for data logging purposes,
which can be allocated among 3 different logs. A maximum of 117 parameters
can be assigned to each log. Logging interval can be selected from 1 min to
1440 mins (1 day). Data logging settings can be set and viewed using the utility
software. Please refer to Acuvim II users manual section 4.5 and 6.3 for details.

DIN Rail Installation

Except the LCD display and the front panel control keys, the meter with DIN rail
mount option includes the same functions as the panel mount version. The
default device address and the default baud rate of the DIN rail meter are 1 and
9600 respectively. Those two default values will always be used for the first
minute after the meter is powered on. The device address and the baud rate of
the meter will change to the user defined values after the first minute.
