The MID certification ensures that the device meets strict European standards for accuracy and legal metrology. Its compact design facilitates easy installation in crowded electrical panels, while the M-Bus interface simplifies connectivity with building management systems. The dual-tariff capability allows users to monitor energy consumption across different time periods, supporting more effective cost management and energy optimization strategies.

Suitable for

• Industrial energy monitoring and management
• Commercial building energy auditing
• Sub-metering in multi-tenant facilities
• Cost allocation and billing applications
• Integration into smart building automation systems

When it may not be suitable

This device is designed specifically for use with external current transformers and is not suitable for direct-connected electrical circuits. It may not be the optimal choice for residential applications where simple, non-communicating meters are sufficient or where M-Bus infrastructure is not available.

Key specifications

• Measurement type: 3-phase with current transformers (CT)
• Communication: Integrated M-Bus interface
• Tariff management: Dual-tariff functionality
• Mounting: 4-module DIN-rail
• Certification: MID certified

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The meter must be mounted on a standard DIN rail within a protected enclosure. Current transformers must be correctly sized and installed on the primary conductors, with secondary leads connected to the meter inputs according to the wiring diagram. Once installed, the M-Bus interface can be configured to communicate with your data acquisition system to begin remote monitoring and data logging.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your current transformers are compatible with the meter's input requirements.
• Ensure your existing infrastructure supports M-Bus communication protocols.
• Check the available space in your distribution board to accommodate the 4-module width.
• Confirm if MID certification is required for your specific billing or regulatory needs.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and data accuracy, ensure that all connections are tightened to the specified torque and that the current transformers are correctly oriented. Regularly verify the communication link with your M-Bus master device to ensure continuous data availability.
