Introduction

This document provides operating, maintenance and installation 
instructions. This unit measures and displays the characteristics 
of Single Phase Two Wire (1P2W), Three Phase Three Wire (3P3W) 
and Three Phase Four Wire (3P4W) networks. The measuring 
parameters include Voltage (V), Current (A), Frequency (Hz), Power 
(kW/KVA/KVAr), Power Factor (PF), Imported, Exported and Total 
Energy (kWh/kVArh). The unit also measures Maximum Demand 
Current and Power, this is measured over preset periods of up to 
60 minutes. 

This particular model accommodates 1A or 5A Current 
Transformers and can be configured to work with a wide range of 
CTs. It also comes with a complete comms capability with built in 
Pulse and RS485 Modbus RTU outputs, configuration is password 
protected.

This unit can be powered from a separate auxiliary supply (AC or 
DC). Alternatively, it can be powered from the monitored supply by 
linking the voltage reference and neutral reference in to terminals 5 
& 6 (Please refer to wiring diagram).

 Current Transformer Primary Current

This unit requires configuring to operate with the appropriate 
curren transformer(s), the optional secondary currents are 1A or 5A. 
It is programmed by inputting the ratio (CT Primary divided by the 
CT Secondary). It can be used on primary currents up to 6000A. 

On the MID Version, you can only program the 
CT Rate ONCE.

 RS485 Serial – Modbus RTU

This unit is compatible with remote monitoring through RS485 
Modbus RTU. Set-up screens are provided for configuring the 
RS485 port. Refers to section 4.8.

1.4

 Pulsed Outputs

The SMARTRAIL X835 has Two Pulsed Outputs that can be set for 
active (kWh) or reactive (kVArh) energy. Terminals 9 & 10 (Pulse 1) 
are configurable within the setup menu.
Terminals 11 & 10 (Pulse 2) have a fixed output of 3200imp/kWh.

button for 3 seconds to exit the set up menu.

4.5

 CT Configuration

The CT options set the Secondary Current (CT2 5A or 1A) of the 
Current Transformer (CT) that are used with the meter.

Use the 

 and 

 

buttons to select the menu 

option. The screen will 

show the current setting.

Secondary CT Setting:

Hold the 

 button to 

set the CT secondary 

option: 5A (default) or 1A.

Set the CT Ratio Value: 

Hold the 

 button to 

enter the CT Ratio setting 

screen. The range is from 

0001 to 9999.

 
The CT Rate is the CT Primary divided by the CT Secondary. For 
Example: 200/5A Current Transformers - 200÷5=40, so the CT Rate 
would be 0040 and the CT2 would be 5. 

On the MID Version, you can only program the 
CT Rate ONCE.

4.5.1

 CT Reversal

If the CT connections are incorrectly wired, they can be reversed 
through the “Set System Continued” menu:

Use the 

 and 

 

buttons to select the 

menu option. Hold the 

 button to view the 

sub-menu.

This screen will display, 

you can change “Forward” 

to “Reverse” on each 

individual CT connection.

Hold the 

 button to 

confirm your adjustment. 

You can then move on to 

IB or IC using the 

 and 

 buttons.

 
Hold the 

 button for 3 seconds to exit the set up menu.

4.6 

PT

The PT option sets the Secondary Voltage (PT2 100-500V) of the 
Voltage Transformer (PT) that may be connected to the meter. 

Use the 

 and 

 

buttons to select the menu 

option. The screen will 

show the current setting.

The default value is 400V.

Secondary PT Setting:

Hold the 

 button to 

set the PT secondary 

option: 100-500V.

Set the PT Ratio Value: 

Hold the 

 button to 

enter the PT Ratio setting 

screen. The range is from 

0001 to 9999.

 
The PT Rate is the PT Primary divided by the PT Secondary. For 
Example: Voltage Transformer - 11000÷110=100, so the PT Rate 
would be 0100 and the PT2 would be 110.

4.7

 Pulsed Output
