E50C1A Installation Guide

The meter has a number of different possible system wiring configurations (see Wiring Diagrams, page 5). To configure the meter, 
set the System Type via the User Interface or Modbus register 130  (if so equipped). The System Type tells the meter which of its 
current and voltage inputs are valid, which are to be ignored, and if neutral is connected. Setting the correct System Type prevents 
unwanted energy accumulation on unused inputs, selects the formula to calculate the Theoretical Maximum System Power, 
and determines which phase loss algorithm is to be used. The phase loss algorithm is configured as a percent of the Line-to-Line 
System Voltage (except when in System Type 10) and also calculates the expected Line to Neutral voltages for system types that  
have Neutral (12 & 40).

Values that are not valid in a particular System Type will display as “----” on the User Interface or as QNAN in the Modbus registers.
