Congratulations on installing your new Senva EM-RS485 energy meter! This
Modbus Protocol Guide
assumes
the first stage of installation is complete, with the meter and any CVTs connected and powered. A green
Device Status
indicates the meter is powered and ready. If not, refer to the separate
Installation Instructions
before continuing. Now, only the network configuration remains between you and the data.
Each meter ships with a default
Slave Address
. To identify this address, add “100” to the last two digits of the
unique serial number printed on the label. When installing a meter on a dedicated Modbus network with no
other slave devices, the global address 255 (0xFF) may also be used (see
).

WARNING:
Before connecting a meter to an existing network, ensure the default
Slave Address
will not
conflict! If necessary, select an alternate seed address with the
Setup Button
interface (see
Installation
Instructions
). Regardless of whether the default
Slave Address
, the global address, or an alternate seed
address is used, the meter may be programmed with any supported address after an initial connection is
established (see
).
Leave the meter in the default factory mode for automatic network configuration:
