IME CE4TBDTMID 3-Phase Energy Meter, MID Certified, CT Operated 5A, RS485 Output, 2 Tariffs, 4 Modules

The IME CE4TBDTMID is a high-precision 3-phase energy meter engineered for accurate monitoring of electrical consumption in industrial and commercial environments. This device is designed for CT-operated systems with a 5A secondary current, ensuring reliable data collection in high-load electrical infrastructures. With its MID certification, the meter meets strict European standards for billing accuracy, making it a dependable choice for sub-metering and energy management applications.

Advantages

This energy meter offers exceptional versatility through its integrated RS485 communication interface, which allows for seamless integration into building management systems and remote monitoring networks. The support for dual-tariff measurement enables users to track energy usage across different time periods, facilitating better cost management and energy efficiency analysis. Its compact 4-module width design ensures efficient use of space within standard electrical distribution boards, while the robust construction guarantees long-term operational stability in demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Industrial manufacturing facilities
• Commercial office buildings
• Data centers and server rooms
• Multi-tenant residential complexes
• Energy management and cost allocation systems

When it may not be suitable

This device is specifically designed for use with external current transformers and is not suitable for direct-connected electrical systems. It is intended for professional installation within controlled environments and may not be appropriate for residential applications where CT-operated metering is not required or supported by the existing electrical infrastructure.

Key specifications

• Measurement type: 3-phase active and reactive energy
• Current input: CT operated 5A
• Communication: RS485 interface
• Tariff support: 2 tariffs
• Mounting: 4-module DIN rail mount
• Certification: MID certified

How to use

The meter must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. It is mounted onto a standard DIN rail within a distribution panel. The 5A current transformers must be correctly wired to the meter inputs to ensure accurate measurement. Once installed, the RS485 interface can be connected to a data logger or building management system to begin remote monitoring and data collection. Configuration of the dual-tariff settings should be performed via the device interface or the connected software.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your electrical system requires CT-operated metering for 5A inputs.
• Ensure there is sufficient space on the DIN rail for a 4-module wide device.
• Confirm compatibility with your existing RS485 communication protocol and monitoring software.
• Check if the MID certification meets the specific legal requirements for your billing or sub-metering application.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and data accuracy, ensure that the current transformers are correctly sized and calibrated for the load being measured. Regularly check the communication connections to maintain consistent data flow to your monitoring system.
