Messages of Abnormal Operations
Under abnormal communications, the power meter can send out messages via Modbus (codes shown
below), informing the reason why the main station experienced abnormal situation.
Abnormal Message Code

Based on start/stop status for the 29 types of alarm settings (register location 0x3E~0xFF) under
abnormal situations, the power meter records the type and time of the alarm occurred in the register
location 0x0A01~0x0ACF. The types of alarms and their descriptions are as follows:
Alarm

1
Over-current
Average current is higher than alert value
2
Low current
Average current is lower than alert value
3
Over natural current
Natural current is higher than alert value
4
Over line voltage
Average line voltage is higher than alert value
5
Low line voltage
Average line voltage is lower than alert value
6
Over phase voltage
Average phase voltage is higher than alert value
7
Low phase voltage
Average phase voltage is lower than alert value
8
Over-voltage imbalance
Rate of voltage imbalance is higher than alert value
9
Over-current imbalance
Rate of current imbalance is lower than alert value
10
Over active power
Total active power is higher than alert value
11
Over reactive power
Total reactive power is higher than alert value
12
Over apparent power
Total apparent power is higher than alert value
13
Active power factor (leading)
Power factor under leading load is lower than alert value
14
Active power factor (lagging)
Power factor under lagging load is lower than alert value
15
