General
The
Interface Module XC
Modbus
is designed for use with the EMH LZQJ-XC and DMTZ-XC
meters.
The module is equipped with a RS485 (2 wires) interface. The module can be plugged
easily into the module compartment of the meter. It can be mounted or exchanged during
operation (without breaking approval seal). An integrated Modbus interface provides a simple
means of connecting multi-energy meters. This makes multi-energy applications an affordable
proposition for domestic use. Due to the communication, the modules are suitable for a lot of
control centres.

Safety Notes
The owner of the interface modules is responsible that all persons engaged on
work with the modules:
• Are competent and qualified in accordance with national regulations (see ISSA
"Guideline for Assessing the Competence of Electrically Skilled Persons").
• Have read and understood the relevant sections of the user manual.
• Strictly observe the safety regulations (according to the following section) and
the instructions in the individual chapters.
The owner of the modules is also responsible for:
• The protection of persons.
• The prevention of material damage.
• The training of personnel.
The following safety regulations must be observed at all times:
• Devices which have fallen down should not be installed, even if no damage is apparent, and should
be returned for testing to an authorised service centre (internal damage possible).
•
Modules must never be cleaned with running water or high pressure devices. Water can cause
