U389A Active Energy Meter with Direct Connection

U389B Active Energy Meter with Transformer Connection

• Acquisition of active energy

• 4-Wire 3-Phase current system, any load
• Remote pulse transmission
for energy import (S0 compatible)
• For use in household, industrial and light industrial applications
• Class 1
• Direct connection or via transducer, uncalibrated
• Import energy display with 7 place drum type
counter mechanism with reverse direction inhibitor
• LED display for energy import
• LED display for incorrect current direction

Applications Description
The electronic electric meter registers energy consumption in Active power is continuously ascertained based on input voltages
three-phase current systems. Its compact, rugged design allows and input currents.
for universal implementation in industrial systems, at construction The power-proportional pulse sequence is then fed to the counter
sites, in the office, at leisure facilities and in the household. The mechanism, as well as to the import LED and the pulse output
meter can be mounted in any position on a top-hat rail per optocoupler.
EN 50022, or fastened to the wall with screws. The optocoupler output signal is potential-free and is in compli-
Installation of the energy meter at incoming power supply lines, ance with the S0 standard per EN 62053-31.
distribution centers or directly at power consumers allows for the
individual acquisition of energy data, and consequently targeted
billing of energy costs. The potential-free pulse output for energy
import allows for remote transmission of meter readings as well as
for use in automatic billing systems, or for peak load optimization. Symbols and their Meanings
