Selecting the connection mode
To ensure correct current measurement, a connection mode must also be selected and entered in the
SYS
menu
when setting up the energy meter (see “Setting up the energy meter” on page 19).
The following connection modes are supported by METERS | METERL.

WARNING!
Support for non-compatible connection modes
The energy meter supplied with METERS | METERL supports other connection types in principle, although these
are not required in practical use as a load management system. Therefore, always make sure that the energy me-
ter is set to the appropriate connection option in the
SYS
menu.

Installation guidelines
Depending on the type of current measurement (total or section current) and the connection mode selected, the fol-
lowing guidelines should be observed when installing the current transformers and the energy meter:
Be sure to observe all local regulations for electrical installations, fire prevention and accident prevention.
All guidelines for the installation of low-voltage systems in accordance with IEC 60364-1 and IEC 60364-5-52
apply.
Depending on the type of current measurement, the cable type current transformers are attached to the individual
wires of the house supply line (total current measurement) or the sub-distribution unit for the building (section
current measurement).
The cables for connecting the current transformers determine the maximum distance to the energy meter and thus
the position in the distribution box.
Fused taps (F = 315 mA) must also be provided in the distribution box to supply power to the energy meter.
