Prologue
In this manual all design variants from the product familiy LZQJ are described.
Please note that the meters can be designed differently for configuration, inter-
faces, in-/outputs etc. It is therefore possible that meter features are described
which do not apply to the meter(s) used by you.
Safety tips
The meters are to be used exclusively for measuring electrical energy and must
only be operated within the specified technical data (see also name plate).
When installing or changing the meter, the conductor to which the meter is con-
nected must be de-energised. Contact of parts under voltage is extremely dan-
gerous. Therefore the relevant back-up fuse is to be removed and stored so that
other people cannot insert this unnoticed.
Before opening the meter the secondary circuit to the current transformer must
definitely be short circuited. The high voltage on the current transformer is ex-
tremely dangerous and destroys the current transformer.
S0 inputs lead to network potential. Caution: danger!
The local standards, guide lines, regulations and instructions are to be obeyed.
Only authorised personnel are permitted to install the electricity meters.
Mounting and installation
LZQJ meters are designed for wall mounting accord. to DIN 43 857-2.
When connecting the meter it is very important to take notice of the wiring dia-
gram, which you can find inside the terminal cover and also on the delivery docu-
ments. In chapter „6. Circuit diagrams (examples)” you can find examples of wir-
ing diagrams.
Meters for direct connection are to be fused against short circuits with a back-up
fuse of 63A or 100A and meters with a transformer connection in the voltage cir-
cuit with < 10A.

1. 4-Quadrant meter and Combi meter
The Combi meter and 4-Quadrant meter are identical in appearance and belong
to the same family of devices. The Combi meter is produced in large lots and has
become widely used. The Combi meter and 4-Quadrant meter are the top of the
line product and state of the art in hardware and software.
1.1. Combi meter
The Combi meter replaces measurement sets which consist of two Ferraris me-
ters, an active use meter (OBIS code 1.x.x) and a reactive use meter (OBIS code
3.x.x). In addition, the Combi meter can perform reactive use measurement
separately in quadrants 1 and 4 (OBIS code 5.x.x and 8.x.x) The Combi meter is
capable of depicting the measurements according to the OBIS code system (IEC
62 056-61) which is illustrated in Figure 1.
Assigning OBIS codes to the quadrants for the Combi meter:

1.2. 4-Quadrant meter
The 4-Quadrant meter replaces the classical constellation of 4 Ferraris meters

each comprising of an active consumption meter for imported and exported en-
ergy and also each comprising of an reactive consumption meter for imported
and exported energy. The 4-Quadrant meter is able to depict the codes in Figure
2 from the OBIS code system.

The display is laid out as follows:
Operating display Communication Display of Unit

(Quadrant information) display phases
T1 T2 T3 T4 M1 M2 M3 M4 RCR RL CLOCK SET
OBIS Code area Value area Cursor field
Figure 4: Display
The operating display represents the current energy import as it was measured
from the meter (inductive/capacitive reactive power). If consumption current is
flowing, then a status symbol alternatively shows which quadrant is being meas-
ured (quadrant information), e.g.:
Ï 1st quadrant +P/+Q
Î
Ï 2nd quadrant - P/+Q

Í
Í 3rd quadrant - P/- Q

Ð
Î 4th quadrant +P/- Q

Ð
The communication display appears when there is communication with the me-
ter via data interfaces (optical, electrical).
The display of the phases signalizes the connection of the individual phase volt-
ages. With an incorrect rotating field all of the three symbols flash.
In the code area the measuring values are shown on the basis of the OBIS code.
In the value area the measuring values are represented with the corresponding
units.
11
In the cursor field the operating conditions of the meters are represented.
The black arrows show which tariff and maximum demand is activated and via
which tariff control element (RTC or RCR) the meter is controlled.
T1-T4 Tariff information for energy. All activable tariff registers are declared
on the nameplate.
M1-M4 Tariff information for power. All actionable tariff registers are declared
on the nameplate.
RCR The cursor flashes when the internal RCR is activated and ready to re-
ceive. The relevant cursor is switched on continuously when the inter-
nal ripple clock is receiving a telegram.
RL The cursor flashes for the duration of the activation of a reset interlock.
Clock The cursor is continually switched on if the internal appliance clock

controls the tariff switching. The cursor flashes when the appliances
clock running reserve is exhausted and when the appliances clock can
not be set afterwards.
SET The relevant cursor is switched on when the meter is in the set mode.

4.4. Modules
The meter consists of two essential elements:

• digital measuring mechanism
• tariff mechanism
The measuring mechanism is decisive for the accuracy of the meter. It determines
the basic measurements, transforms them into digital information and conveys
them to the tariff mechanism for calculation and processing.
The experience in meter testing technology has been used to obtain this high de-
gree of meter accuracy. Both modules, the measuring and tariff mechanisms, are
charged with a common power unit.
4.4.1. Power unit

This is a primary, switched-mode power unit (3x58/100V ... 3x240/415V) with a
high degree of effectiveness. 3-wire meters with 3x100V ... 3x415V are also sup-
ported. The power supply is earth-fault-proof and operation without neutral con-
ductor is guaranteed. In the event that a module defect occurs when operating
then it is secure against overload or short circuiting. Potential damage remains
limited and consequential damage is avoided.
For LZQJ meters with a single-phase connected meter, error-free operation until
Unom - 20% is guaranteed.
16
4.4.1.1. Auxiliary voltage supply
Only valid for LZQJ-P2 ... and LZQJ-P5 ... (Precision meters with an accuracy of
0,2S and 0,5S)!
The LZQJ as a precision meter has the possibility of external auxiliary voltage.
In general it is differentiated between two functionality’s (qualities):
a) Pure auxiliary voltage supply: The energy is only taken from the auxiliary
voltage circuit.
b) Combined supply: With certain occurring voltage conditions the energy for
the electronic measuring device is no longer taken from the auxiliary voltage
supply but from the measuring voltage(s). When the auxiliary voltage supply
completely fails then the energy for the electronic measuring device is taken
only from the measuring voltage (feature of the combined supply). In spite of
the auxiliary voltage failure the meter is completely capable of functioning (ad-
vantage when compared to pure auxiliary voltage supply).
The following design variants of the auxiliary voltage are possible:
Type 1
Design with pure auxiliary voltage supply and galvanic separation between the
auxiliary- and measuring circuit (2kV AC, 1min).
Type Z
Combined supply independent of the measuring voltage without galvanic sepa-
ration between the auxiliary- and measuring circuit. The auxiliary voltage supply is
only effective when the auxiliary voltage is larger than the measuring voltage. With
less auxiliary voltage or failure of the auxiliary voltage the functions of the device
are assured by the measuring voltage.
Type R
Combined supply independent of the measuring voltage without galvanic sepa-
ration between the auxiliary- and measuring circuit. With failure of the auxiliary
voltage the functions of the device are assured by the measuring voltage.
Type 2
Combined supply independent of the measuring voltage with galvanic separa-
tion (4kV AC, 1min) between the auxiliary- and measuring circuit accord. to class
protection 2. With failure of the auxiliary voltage the functions of the device are as-
sured by the measuring voltage.

4.4.2. Data protection
When operating, the current measurements are stored in the working memory
(RAM). Every 24 hours, this data is stored in a non-volatile memory. In the event of
power failure or drop below the minimum voltage, the electronics will continue to
function normally for the next 500ms. It is powered by the energy in the charger-
capacitor. If it is only a short power failure of less than 500 ms, then the meter will
continue to operate quasi-non-stop. Only in cases of longer interruptions will the
measuring period be interrupted and the device completely shut down so that a
new measuring period will be started when the meter is reactivated. Data remains
stored in the non-volatile memory for at least ten years. No buffer battery is
needed to preserve the data. The data received is retained alone through the
qualities of the storage medium (Flash).
4.4.3. Protective circuit

The protective circuit behind the voltage terminals consists of a combination of
surge-proof power resistors and varistors which dilute the surge energy in the
event of an over-voltage. This means: fast, energy-rich disturbance pulses which
might be caused by turning off reactive loads or the local transformer are effec-
tively prevented from reaching the microelectronics.
4.4.4. Modular construction

The entire measuring and tariff mechanism (including the options) are included on
a single circuit board:
• clock module
• tariff time switch
• ripple control receiver
• electrical interfaces
• control inputs
• control outputs
The modular structure of the entire meter means that the meter can be assembled
to perform functions in accordance with the customer’s desired meter properties.
The display is plugged onto the circuit board and can be easily exchanged.
19
4.5. Digital measuring mechanism
4.5.1. Measurement principle

Measurement is performed by taking voltage and current samples at very short
intervals. These samples are converted to digital values in an analogue to digital-
converter. The digitized current and voltage values are assigned to a microproc-
essor and then processed. This guarantees a very high accuracy and stability.
4.5.1.1. Voltage measurement

The terminal voltages generate network-proportional internal voltage levels. These
are fed into the input channels of the analogue-digital-converter (ADC).
4.5.1.2. Current measurement

Meters for direct connection:
The current paths contain gapped ferrite cores and in their air gap there are hall
sensors which generate current proportional voltages (Hall voltage). These are fed
into the input channels of the analogue digital converter (AD) via an instrument
amplifier.
Meters for transformer connection:
For measuring the current, compensated current transformers are used.
These are fed into the two ADC inputs via an instrumental amplifier.
4.5.1.3. Measurement values

The measurement values can be seen on the display and read out using the D0-
interface or electrical interface (RS232, RS485, CL0):
• instantaneous active-, reactive- and apparent power for each phase and the
combined value,
• individual line current and line voltages,
• number of active phases, line frequency and power factor as well as power
factor for individual phases.
4.5.1.4. Adjustment
EMH’s Combi meter and 4-Quadrant meter are fully static and digital meters. In
practice, that means there are no mechanical moving parts in the measuring de-
vice. That also means that the electronic components’ tolerances are matched to
each other in a way so that a partial adjustment between manufacturing steps is
unnecessary. Thus the devices can be produced rationally in identical series.
At the end of the production process, the meters are subjected to a final adjust-
ment. The meters are submitted to a precise normal load on the test stand. Each
meter measures this load and transmits its measurement to the test stand via an
optical interface. This compares the meter’s measurement with its own precise
measurement and sends measurement correction factors back in the meter in
form of measurement constants. These are then stored in the non-volatile memory
elements of the meter. The adjustment constants are protected against external
access.
20
4.6. Tariff mechanism
Using digitized measurement values, the tariff mechanism calculates electricity

consumed or supplied as well as electrical power. It then assigns it to the respec-
tive energy or power register according to the tariff control and meter configura-
tion provided.
4.6.1. OBIS (Object-Identification-System)

The Object-Identification-System OBIS is an identification system which was pri-
mary developed for electricity purposes and is described in IEC 62 056-61. It
serves to identify measured values and data which, through this system are clearly
identifiable independent of the device and producer. Due to the very general
structure OBIS is also suitable for the areas water, gas and heat.
In the field of measuring electrical energy and power, the identification code allo-
cation for the measured variable (1. value), measured type (2. value), tariff
(3. value) and historical value (4. value) is of importance.
In Table 4 codes are described which are often used with EMH electricity meters.

4.6.2. Energy and power tariffs
With the meters it is possible to configure up to 32 meter mechanisms for electri-
cal energy and power. Each meter mechanism has up to 15 historical values
which show the measurements and time stamps of the last 15 reset billing
periods. The assignment of the measurement variables are configured at EMH
according to customer requirements.
4.6.2.1. Maximum demand metering
The creation of a maximum is based on the measurement of average power over
a synchronized or sliding measuring period tm. The time integral of the accured
energy is divided by the measurement period. If the current power value exceeds
the highest power value since the beginning of the billing period, then this value is
taken as the new maximum in the affected register with the applicable measuring
period time stamp.
4.6.2.2. Measuring period tm

The measuring period duration tm is derived from the line frequency and defined
by a period generator in the meter. The length of the measurement period can be
configured as a 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minute raster according to customer
requirements.
Occasional maximum demand measurement
The beginning of a maximum demand measurement (and thereby of a measure-

ment period) is started by an
internal switch signal from the:
• tariff time switch
• ripple control receiver, or
externally via a switch signal from one of the supplementary terminals at the:
• control input S0
• a control input configured for this purpose (device voltage).
4.6.2.3. Decoupling time te

In order to control other devices (e.g. a maximum demand monitor), a decoupling
signal te can be generated at either an output (aux. terminal) or an optical fibre in-
terface. The regulation VDE 0418 Part 4 specifies that the decoupling time is not to
exceed either of the following values:
• 1% of the measuring period or
• 15 seconds
22
This decoupling period is a component of the measuring period and is generated
at the beginning. The decoupling time for the measuring periods most commonly
used in Europe, 15 minutes (= 900 s) therefore the decoupling time is 9 seconds.
Electronic maximum demand meters need nearly no reset time. The speed of the
software running time and rapid switching in the semiconductor element lie at a
maximum in the millisecond range. Although the decoupling signal is emitted ac-
cording to regulations, the electronic maximum demand meter continues to
measure during this period.
4.6.2.4. Output contacts

Altogether up to 7 output contacts are provided for transmissions to the customer.
These output contacts are optionally S0 outputs, relays (max 2) or MOSFET out-
puts. S0 and MOSFET outputs can be either make or break contacts. If the out-
put element is a relay the output can be a changeover contact. If the outputs listed
here are not insufficient or if a future-oriented conception is to be applied, then it is
recommended to use the option optical fibre interface for the separate connection
of an optical fibre isolating relay box. The advantages are explained in chapter
“Optical fibre interface LLS”.
4.6.2.5. Reset (cumulation)

The introduction of electronics into metering has meant that the scope of functions
which resetting can perform has been significantly expanded. The results are as
follows:
• interruption of current measuring period
• saving of current maximum demand in the appropriate historical value mem-
ory
• cumulation of current maximum demand in the cumulation register
• reset to zero of maximum demand mechanism
• reset to zero of current average power
• saving of occurred energy values at reset time
• activation of reset block
Resetting can be activated by one of the following reset types:
• optical reset sensor or mechanical reset button

• internal tariff time switch
• internal ripple control receiver
• external control input
• optical data interface D0
• electrical data interface, e.g. RS232, RS485 or CL0
After a reset, a temporal restricted inhibition is activated for a new resetting de-
pendent of the selected reset channels 1-5 (see Table 5). This inhibition lasts at
least one measuring period and 40 days at the most. With every resetting the in-
hibition time is newly activated. There are two different lengths of inhibition times,
0 and t1. 0 is a synonym that shows that no inhibition has been activated. In the
table it is shown which inhibition times are activated by a resetting through the re-
set channels 1-5.
23
Example: A resetting via the channel „button” blocks a new resetting via the same
channel (button) or via other channels (interfaces ... period counter) for different
time intervals.

4 ... Internal ripple control receiver (RCR) 0 0 t1 t1 t1
5 ... Internal Real Time Clock or internal period counter 0 0 t1 t1 t1
Table 5: Inhibition times for resettings
The reset barriers are cancelled by a 3 phase voltage failure. For every reset the
relevant time information is (timestamp) stored. The reset counter runs from 0-99
(rolling) and serves simultaneously as an index for the historical values.
4.6.2.6 Load profile

The integrated load profile in the meter has the following memory depths
(at tm = 15min, 2 header per day and the format x.xxx kW):
No of channels Days at tm = 15min

1 approx. 300
2 approx. 200
4 approx. 100
6 approx. 80
Table 6: Load profile depth per channel
The number of channels lies between 1 and 6 (optional up to 32). They are con-
figurable so that a measurement variable may be assigned to each channel. The
load profile always operates synchronized. A new measuring period (for tm = 15
minutes) commences at every full hour on the real time clock in the meter: that
means at hh:00, hh:15, hh:30 and hh:45. In the event of a voltage failure, the cur-
rent time is stored in the data memory.
After power restoration, two methods are differentiated between:

a) Power restoration within the current measuring period = no new measuring
period is created, the current measuring period continues.
Power restoration outside the current measuring period = a new measuring
period is formed.
b) With each power restoration a new measuring period is created.

The load profiles are shown on the display. The optical call-up sensor/button (de-
pending on the model) allows the values to be examined. The load profile depth
for the output via data interfaces is configurable. It can be coupled with up to four
readout lists so that the scope of data selected can fit various requirements. Be-
yond that there is the possibility to choose particular periods in the load profile
to be read out. This is done using formatted commands.
24
4.7. Tariff time switch
The tariff time switch is integrated into the meter. It is based on a quartz-
controlled, battery or capacitor-buffered real time clock which provides time in-
formation (date, day of week, time) in second intervals.
Switching times can be configured for the customer using:
• 16 season tables,
• 16 day types or
• 384 holiday definitions for any weekdays
These are compared continuously with the real time clock. When they coincide
with the switching times configured or switching periods, then the switching func-
tion commences. Switching functions are the activation of the power and energy
register. As a result of this 30 energy registers and 30 power registers with a
maximum of 4 tariffs are configurable via the tariff switching clock. At the begin-
ning of the summer period an hour can be added on to the tariff switching clock
(MEZ). The beginning and end of the summer period is determined with the help
of a summer time register. The summer time register is settable in order to be able
to react to possible changes of the current valid summer time regulation.
The accuracy of the real time clock amounts to 5ppm. The buffering of the Real
Time Clock (RTC) is done by a SuperCap-capacitor with a running reserve of
> 10d. With a completely discharged SuperCap the charge time is approx. 18min
after connection of the meter to the voltage lines (90% voltage). Instead of a Su-
perCap- capacitor a battery (dry Li-battery) with a running reserve of > 20 years
can be ordered. The latter is recommended for meters with load profile memories
so that they are correctly treated when there are longer power interruptions or the
meter has been turned off for longer periods. The real time clock can be operated
synchronized with the network. That means it is cyclically synchronized using a
time counter in the meter which derives its time from the line frequency. It can
however also be synchronized via the following variations.
• Crystal lead internal clock
• Synchronisation of the internal clock through an impulse at the input contact.
Synchronisation takes place at the next measuring period ending.
Synchronisation takes place at a fixed time of the day. This point of time is set
through the parameter HHMMSS.
Synchronisation takes place at the next full 1 minute.
• Synchronisation of the appliances clock through a DCF-77 receiver connected

at the impulse.
25
4.8. Ripple control receiver (RCR)
The ripple control receiver supports the following protocols/telegrams, which can
be configured via the data interfaces (D0, RS232, RS485, CL0):
ABB Ricontic b

An advantage of the system is that it is possible to configure the RCR by modem

and to call up status information such as relay status and the last telegram re-
ceived. The RCR has 6 outputs which are available for the control function of the
meter. In addition, the tariff and maximum demand control, early warnings and re-
settings can be transmitted directly from the terminals over the optical fibre inter-
face.
4.9. Data interfaces
The data exchange between meters and read out devices is performed either by
an optical interface (D0) or through auxiliary terminals by means of the electrical
interface (RS232, RS485 or CL0). The transmission rate is fixed between 300 and
9600 baud or can be set in mode C.

tional terminals (A and B) under the sealable terminal cover.
This is a symmetrical two-wire-interface and is designed in accord. with TIA/EIA-

4.9.4. Electrical interface CL0 (CS)

The electrical interface CL0 (galvanically de-coupled) is found at the additional
terminal under the sealable terminal cover.
The CL0-interface conforms with DIN 66 348, Part 1. It is a passive two-wire inter-
face, i.e. possesses no own power source. Data is transmitted as mark/space at a
nominal current of 20mA. For that reason, it is also called a 20mA current inter-
face. The voltage drop of the series-switched transmitters and receivers in the
meter is about 4V. Thus a maximum of four meter outputs can be switched in se-
ries and operated by one modem. The meters can be addressed and can there-
fore be called up specifically. The CL0 interface can be used for data transmission
up to one kilometre.

4.10.3. Optical fibre interface LLS

An especially innovative option to the classical outputs is EMH’s transmission
protocol for an optical fibre interface. EMH has put this concept into an optical fi-
bre isolating relay box (see Figure 7).
On one of the meter terminals is a coupling point where an optical fibre contact
can be established by simply plugging in and screwing down. An optical fibre
isolating relay with up to six outputs is plugged onto the other end of the optical
fibre cable. The relay box is in EN 50 022 DIN-rail housing. It has its own optical fi-
bre output so that altogether four relay boxes can be cascaded. Thus a total of
24 control outputs can be created.
The data from the meter to the optical fibre isolating relay is transmitted at 4800
baud. Each optical fibre isolating relay output can be designed with a relay (with
optional suppresser circuit) or Opto-MOSFET technology as a make or break
contact. A wide-area power unit from 100V to 230V serves as the power supply
for the optical fibre isolating relay. A complex input suppresser circuit protects the
device from destruction due to impure power supply. Optimal isolation is obtained
by means of the galvanic separation of the optical fibre from the meter and relay
boxes described here. Since contact and relocation of the optical fibre cable is not
complicated, this variant offers substantial savings in installation costs. The optical
fibre cable makes it possible to link the meter and the relay box over a distance of
20 metres and with a cascading relay of up to 50 metres.
29
Figure 7: Optical fibre isolation relay box
4.11. Instrument software
Diverse configurable variables have been programmed which define the meter’s
functions. These include
• settable variables
• parameterable variables
The parameterable variables include those which define the meter’s attributes.
Settable variables can be changed by combination of optical call-up sensor/reset
sensor or call-up button/reset button (depending on the model) via the D0, RS232,
RS485, CL0 in accordance with IEC 62 056-21. Parameterable variables can only
be changed via the optical interface D0- or electrical interface (RS232, RS485,
CL0). To do this the meter must be in the parametering status (by using the pa-
rameter key). This is located on the printed circuit board inside the meter. The
meter cover must be removed in order to press this key. The signalizing of
parametering status is indicated by blinking of the communication symbol on the
display. The parametering status is ended either by
• 24 hour uninterrupted meter operation
• the command „switch off parameterization status“.

5. Meter operation
5.1. Operating and display
For the operation of the devices a menu is used for the information which is to be
displayed. For the operation of this, the basics are as follows:
Call-up sensor/button*:
• „short” operation (toperation< 2 s) switches over to the next value in the list or
menu option
• „long” operation (2 s ≤ toperation < 5 s) activates either the menu option which
was just represented or causes the pre-values to be skipped over
• „longest” operation (toperation ≥ 5 s) takes you back from each operation condi-
tion back to the operation mode (scrolling display)
Reset sensor/button*:
A „short” pressing in the set mode initiates the activation of the first digit of the
selected value and switches through the lists.
A „long” pressing always initiates a resetting, apart from in the set mode and in
the display test.
* Depending on the model also designed as an optical sensor or mechanical push button.

5.1.2. Display and control
For the display of the data/values there are the following different operation
modes:
• Operation display mode
• Display test
• Call-up mode „menu call-up button“
• Call-up mode standard („Std-dAtA“ display of all the register contents in the
list)
• Call-up mode load profile („P.01“ display of load profile values)
• Call-up mode calibration relevant logbook („P.99” Display of the changes of
the output impulse constants and the LED-impulse constants)
• Call-up mode „Menu reset button“
• Set mode („SEt“ editing of settable variables)
• Call-up mode info („InFO-dAtA” shortened display of the billing data)
• High resolution mode for testing purposes („tESt“ test mode).
Furthermore the following principles apply:

The control of the display and the editing of settable values takes place by means
of „one-handed operation“, that means several operating elements do not have to
be operated simultaneously. The initial state of the display is the operation dis-
play. A change-over from the operation display to the „menu [A]- button” (that
means call-up mode standard or call-up mode load profile) or to the „menu option
[R]- button” (that means set mode or test mode) is only possible via the „display-
test”. The return from call-up-, load-, set-, info- or test mode into the operation
display occurs automatically when no operating element was activated or when
the call-up sensor/button has been activated for longer than 5s within the fixed
time of 2 measuring period lengths (in general 30 minutes, apart from in the test
mode where this takes place first after 24 hours). The end of a list is marked in the
display with „End” in the value area.
For the call-up sensor/button the following applies:

In the call-up mode „Menu“:
• Switch over to the next value in the list (operation < 2 s)
• Selection of the value in the list (operation ≥ 2 s)
In the call-up mode „Standard“/„Info“:

• Switch over to the next value/pre-value (operation < 2 s)
• Skipping of the displayed pre-values (operation ≥ 2s).
In the call up mode „Load profile”:

• Switch over to the next day block (operation < 2s)
• Selection of the displayed day block (operation ≥ 2s)
and in the day block:
• Switch over to the next available registering period (operation < 2s)
• Return to the previous selected day block (operation ≥ 2s).
In the call up mode „Calibration relevant logbook”:

• Switch over to the next entry/value (operation < 2s)
41
In the „Set mode":
the displayed conduct as with the Figure 14 applies.
In the „Test mode“:

• Switch over to the next test value (operation < 2 s)
• Skipping of the displayed pre-values (operation ≥ 2s).
Since values can also be edited in the set mode via the data interfaces, the inter-
face(s) and operational element are mutually interlocked (logically).
The sequence of the represented values (operation display and call-up mode)
takes place following the allocation of the OBIS code. As a criteria for the order,
the OBIS code is read from left to right starting from the left with the variable „Er-
ror“ (OBIS code „F.F“), to which the other measuring variables are linked, sorted
according to their OBIS codes in an increasing sequence.
Deviating from this, the display of pre-values always occurs in the sequence from
the newest to the oldest value.
5.1.2.1. Operation display

The operation display is the standard display. Here the data is displayed at inter-
vals of 10 seconds one after the other (scrolling).
Operation display: List (Example)
OBIS Description
x.4.x Current time in the MP / current average value of the power
x.6.x Maximum of the power
x.8.x Energy
Table 10: Operation display (Example)
5.1.2.2. Display test

Through operating the call-up sensor/button (Operation < 5 s ) the operation dis-
play is switched over to the display test (see Figure 8) and all activated seg-
ments/sections of the display are shown.
After this you can switch:
• through operating the call-up sensor/button in the call-up mode „Menu A-
button“
or
• through operating the reset sensor/button in the call up mode „Menu R-button”
42
5.1.2.3. Call-up mode Menu A-button
The first displayed option in the menu list is the menu option single call-up „Std-
dAtA“ (see Figure 9). Every further short operation of the call-up sensor/button
leads to the display of further possible existing menu options, e.g. the load „P.01“.
For the purpose of the selection of the menu options the call-up sensor/button is
pressed at least two times. The last display in the call-up list is the list end-
marking „End” shown in the value area of the display. If the time limit of two
measuring periods (or rather 2 RP-lengths, in case no MP is present; in general 30
min) is reached after the last pressing of the button or if the call-up sensor/button
is activated for at least 5 sec’s then it is automatically switched back to the opera-
tion display.
5.1.2.4. Call-up mode standard (Menu option „Std-dAtA”)

The first displayed option of the menu option „Std-dAtA” is the code and the con-
tent of the error code. Every further operation of the call-up sensor/button leads to
the display of further data. For the purpose of a faster data call-up the pre-values
can be skipped and the pre-value of the following value displayed. This is
achieved by operating the call-up sensor/button „long” (Figure 10). If the time limit
of 2 measuring period lengths (or rather 2 RP-Lengths in case no MP exists, in
general 30 min) is reached after the last press of the button or if the call-up sen-
sor/button is activated for at least 5 seconds then the operation display is auto-
matically switched back. With this it is guaranteed that the course of a complete
measuring period of the meter can be observed without any interruptions. The last
display in the call-up list is the list end-marking, „End” shown in the value area of
the display.
5.1.2.5. Call-up mode load profile (Menu option „P.01”)

Date selection of the day block
The first displayed value of the menu option „P.01” is the date of the newest avail-
able day block in the load profile. Every further short operating of the call-up sen-
sor/button leads to the chronological display of the load profiles from the previ-
ously available day (see Figure 11). If the call-up sensor/button is activated „long”
then for the exact selection of the day block which is to be selected the registering
period is shown in an increasing order. If the time limit of 2 registration periods is
reached after the last press of the button or if the call-up sensor/button is acti-
vated for at least 5 seconds then the operation display is automatically switched
back into the operation display. The last display in the call-up list is the list end-
marking „End” shown in the value area of the display and appears in the display
after the oldest available date of a day block.
43
Load profile values of the selected day
The display of the selected day block begins with the representation of oldest load
profile value saved on this day (the values saved at 0.00 o’clock are assigned to
the previous day) beginning with the lowest read OBIS code from left to right.
Every further short operation of the call-up sensor/button displays the next avail-
able measured value from the same recording period. When all the available
measured values of the period have been displayed the data from the following
available registration period follows (see Figure 11). The last option in the call-up
list is the list end-marking, („End”) showed in the value area of the display and
which appears after the last profile value from the selected day. If the call-up sen-
sor/button is activated for at least 2 seconds then it is switched back to the date
list from the previously selected day block.
If the time limit of 2 registration periods is reached after the last press of the button
or if the call up sensor/button is activated for at least 5 sec’s then it is automati-
cally switched over to the operation display.
5.1.2.6. Call-up mode, certification relevant logbook (Menu option „P.99“)

In the certification relevant logbook 46 entries can be saved. When 46 entries have
been reached then the oldest entry is then overwritten. The first displayed value of
the certification relevant logbook is the date of the entry. Every further operation of
the call-up sensor/button leads to the display of further data (see Figure 14 in the
following sequence: time, status entry, OBIS-code, (0.3.0 for changing the LED-
constants, 0.3.3 for changing the output impulse constants for active power and
0.3.4 for changing the output impulse constants for reactive power). After, the old
value of the changed constant appears and then the new value. If in the certifica-
tion relevant logbook further entries exist then, with a further pressing of the call-
up sensor/button the next log book entry is shown.
Status entry when deleting all entries: 2000
If the time limit of 2 measuring period lengths is reached after the last press of the
button (e.g. 2 RP-Lengths, in case there is no MP; in general 30 min) or if the call
up button is pressed for at least 5 s then the operational display is automatically
switched back. This way it is guaranteed that on the device at least one uninter-
rupted run of a complete measuring period can be observed. The last value in the
certification relevant logbook is the list end code which is marked as „End” in the
display.
44
5.1.2.7. Call-up mode menu R-button
For operating the R-button the seal of the button, or rather the slide must be bro-
ken. This may only be carried out by authorized personnal.
The first displayed value of the menu list is the menu option set mode with the
name „SEt“ (see Figure 13). Every further operation of the call-up sensor/button
leads to the display of further existing menu options, e.g. the high resolution mode
for testing purposes with the name „tESt“. For the purpose of the selection of the
menu option the call-up sensor/button is activated for at least 2 sec’s. The last
display in the call-up list is the list end-marking, „End” shown in the value area of
the display. If the time limit of 2 registration periods is reached after the last press
of the button or if the call-up sensor/button is activated for at least 5 sec’s then it
is automatically switched back to the operation display.
5.1.2.8. Set mode (menu option „SEt“)

In the set mode, settable values are entered or changed via one of the reset sen-
sor/button and/or call-up sensor/button as well as via one of the data interfaces.
There is a mutual interlocking of the different set possibilities. To set the values via
one of the data interfaces, formatted commands in accordance with IEC 62056-
21 are used. Values with several digits which can be edited via the sensors/ but-
tons are edited with the sensors/buttons starting from the left (first) digit.
Important information for setting the date and clock:

When setting the clock you must first set the date and then the time. Otherwise it
can be the case, that with the transition from summer to winter time (and the re-
verse) the clock time will be shifted by ± 1 hour.
5.1.2.9. Call-up mode info (Menu option „InFO-dAtA”)
The info list is a shortened display of the billing data for the manual data read-out.
Every further operation of the call-up sensor/button leads to the display of further
data. For the purpose of a faster data call-up the pre-values can be skipped and
the pre-value of the following value displayed. This is achieved by operating the
call-up sensor/button „long” (siehe Figure 15). If the time limit of 2 measuring pe-
riod lengths (or rather 2 RP-Lengths in case no MP exists, in general 30 min) is
reached after the last press of the button or if the call-up sensor/button is acti-
vated for at least 5 seconds then the operation display is automatically switched
back. With this it is guaranteed that the course of a complete measuring period of
the meter can be observed without any interruptions. The last display in the call-up
list is the list end-marking, „End” shown in the value area of the display.
45
5.1.2.10. Test mode (Menu option „tESt”)
In the high resolution mode „tESt“ for test purposes the same data appears in the
display as in the operation display however this does not scroll and also with the
difference that the energy register(s) is displayed in high resolution. Every opera-
tion of the call-up sensor/button leads to the display of further data (see Figure
16). If the call-up sensor/button is activated for at least 5 seconds then it auto-
matically switches over into the operation display. The test mode can also be acti-
vated and deactivated via the data interfaces. The test mode is deactivated pro-
vided that the initialisation telegram (see for this ZVEI-Empfehlung „Prüfung elek-
tronischer Zähler über die Datenschnittstelle = ZVEI-recommendation „testing of
electronic meters via the data interface“) is sent with the measuring period default
via the data interfaces or when a time period of 24 hours elapses since the activa-
tion of the mode.
5.1.2.11. Parameter mode

The meter can only be altered in the calibration mode (certification seal broken)
via the data interfaces. If the meter is in the parameter mode, then this state is
specially marked on the display.
