Display Optical communication port The optical port communicates in accordance with IEC62056-21/IEC1107. Alarm LED The alarm LED flashes when an alarm state has occurred. For alarms, such as for high or low voltage, phase balance or similar external errors, the LED stops flashing when the alarm state has passed. If the meter has had an internal error, the alarm must be acknowledged and manually reset. Calibration LED for active energy The LED is the source of the energy signal for accuracy testing of active energy. The light pulses have a 50% pulse width and a frequency proportional to the measured active power. A constant that specifies the total number of pulses per kWh can be configured. The same constant applies to active and reactive energy. Auxiliary power LED When the CewePrometer is receiving auxiliary power, the green LED turns on to indicate that the meter's power supply is working. Sealing points for terminal cover The terminal cover can be sealed with lead seals (or comparable seals) and sealing wire through the sealing points. Terminal cover Sealing points for front panel window The front panel exterior window can be sealed with lead seals (or comparable seals) and sealing wire through the sealing points. The seal prevents access to the fourth button (sealed button) and the optional backup battery for the realtime clock. Meter cover Front panel window The front panel window has hooks for attaching the meter label. In addition, the window is provided with a pocket for inserting an extra label. The extra label can be used when transformer ratios are changed. Calibration LED for reactive energy The LED is the source of the energy signal for accuracy testing of reactive energy. The light pulses have a 50% pulse width and a frequency proportional to the measured reactive power. A constant that specifies the total number of pulses per kvarh can be configured. The same constant applies to active and reactive energy. Sealed button The button is hidden under the front panel window and provides access to a fifth configurable display sequence. Holding down the button for about two seconds opens a system menu.

Connector for CewePrometer-R
A standardised Entrelec Essailec plug-in connector is used, of the same type as for other meters according to standard DIN 43862. The cable connection is made in the subrack. The meter is connected via the contact pins after insertion. The connector has a short-circuit protection feature for electrical circuits, permitting the meter to be withdrawn and inserted into the subrack during operation.
Auxiliary power
The CewePrometer is supplied with separate auxiliary power. Auxiliary power can be supplied both with alternating current and polarity-independent direct current within a specified range. Auxiliary power can be self powered (internal), CewePrometer-R can also be configured with dual auxiliary.
Digital outputs
The CewePrometer's outputs are solid-state MOS-FET bipolar semiconductor relays, with normally open contact function. Internal current limit protects the relay from being damaged by excessively high current. 11
Product description
Digital inputs
The optically isolated digital inputs consist of opto couplers, where the LED is powered from an external voltage signal through series resistance to limit the current. This means that an external voltage must be connected between the passive pulse and level transmitter and the opto coupler's LED, or the transmitter must deliver an active voltage signal to send pulses that are detected by the optical input. The optically isolated inputs are unaffected by reverse polarity. Both DC and 50/60 Hz AC can be used.
Communication ports {Ethernet (IP), Serial (RS232, RS422,RS485)}
The CewePrometer is equipped with one optical port and up to two additional communication ports, Ethernet or serial (RS232 or RS422. RS422 can also be used as RS485) Communications through the infrared IEC62056-21/IEC1107 optical port are transferred via an optical read/write adapter, an optical head. The optical head is positioned and secured over the optical port by a magnet on the head and a steel plate around the opening of the optical port. The RS232 standard communication port is used to connect communication equipment (computers, modems) through a serial cable with a standard D-sub, 9-pin connector. The RS422 serial communication port is intended to be used to connect the CewePrometer to a network for multi-drop communications. The CewePrometer is connected to the communication equipment (RS422 converter) with two twisted-pair wires connected to a 5-pole connector. The RS422 port can also be used for single twisted-pair RS485 bus. The Ethernet communication port is used to connect to the meter over TCP/IP based network.
For information on pin configuration, see Appendix C Communication Ports (pg. 73).

Product description
Function modules
Modulisation
The CewePrometer is made up of function modules. Modulisation is primarily used to make it easy to produce different versions with the same basic design, and to enable development of new modules for the basic design to add or replace functions. Modulisation is not primarily intended for being able to switch plug-in modules in the field the meter must be opened and the seals broken to switch modules.
Modules
The CewePrometer consists of the following basic modules, which are necessary for a functioning meter in its simplest version: Measurement module Power module Display and register module Digital I/O module Communication module
Moreover, the meter is normally equipped with the following modules for additional functionality:
There is also space for additional function modules for expansion of function properties to meet future market needs. For more information, see Appendix D - Module block diagram (pg. 78).

Product description
Measuring principles
The measuring circuit in CewePrometer consists of current and voltage transformers that provide signals to six parallel AD converters (analogue to digital converters) that are synchronised by a common clock signal. The digital signals are thereafter processed by a DSP. Using voltage transformers makes the electronics in the meter galvanically isolated from the measurement voltage, which provides good personal safety and protection for connected equipment, such as modems.
Calculation flow
All values are calculated in the CewePrometer based on calibrated current and voltage values. Current and voltage amplitudes and phase angles are fully compensated in regards to accuracy, harmonics, frequency and temperature. Adjustments for accuracy are made throughout the dynamic range for both voltage and current. Based on these individually compensated current and voltage signals, power, energy, power factor and all other quantities that the CewePrometer can present, are subsequently calculated. This means that accuracy for instant values is good and that active and reactive power are correctly calculated, including harmonic power. For more information on calculation principles and the formulas used, see Appendix F Calculation Principles (pg. 81).
3-element meter
On the 3-element CewePrometer, phase voltages and neutral wires are connected to the meter. The voltages measured are phase voltages. Power and energy are calculated from three phase voltages and three currents. Harmonic measurement, alarm monitoring and transformer corrections are made on phase voltages. The phase to phase voltage is calculated from the phase voltages.
2-element meter
On the 2-element CewePrometer, the neutral conductor is not connected to the meter and the three voltages are internally D-connected. The voltages measured are subsequently phase to phase voltages. Power and energy are calculated based on two phase to phase voltages (U12 and U23) and two currents (I1 and I3) according to the 2-watt meter method. The 2-element meter is primarily used for D-connected systems (3-wire). Harmonic measurement, alarm monitoring and transformer corrections are made on phase to phase voltages.

Configuration, reading and maintenance

Connecting to CewePrometer
To be able to configure or read values in the CewePrometer, CeweConfig must be connected and have authorisation to access the meter. The meter has five different authorisation levels that can be configured with passwords. See the section Communications and security (pg. 40). With the meter's usual factory settings, no password is configured, and subsequently no password is necessary when you connect. To communicate with a meter, the PC must be physically connected to the CewePrometer in one of the following ways: PC Optical head Meter PC Crossed serial cable (null modem) Meter PC Straight serial cable RS422 converter Daisy chained meters PC straight serial cable RS485 converter Daisy chained Meters PC Modem Modem Meter PC Ethernet (straight) Meter
How to connect to the meter 1. Connect to Meter Choose Connect to Meter from the File menu or by clicking the toolbar button. 2. Communication channel Click the Settings tab and choose either, Optical Port, Serial Port (RS232/RS422), Serial Port (RS485) or Modem. If the serial port or a modem is used, the baud rate must be selected. For meters with factory settings, the baud rate is 9600. When the optical port is used, CeweConfig adapts itself to the baud rate the meter is configured for, making selection of the baud rate unnecessary. Note: The selectable communication ports can be changed by changing the XML file Settings.xml that is in CeweConfig's installation directory. 19

3. Serial Port (RS485) If a connection over RS485 uses a RS485 converter relying on the RTS signal for switching between transmit and receive, an RTS off delay may have to be defined. The time is given in milliseconds, and defines for how long the converted data is kept in transmit mode after last character has been sent on the communication port. Time may vary depending on PC performance and baud rate. Typical time is 20ms for 9600 baud. 4. Modem If a modem connection is used, a modem must be chosen. The modems available are those installed in Windows. Click the Common tab and enter the telephone number to be called. 5. Password Click the Common tab. A password is entered if one is configured in the meter. With the meter's factory settings, no password is configured, and subsequently no password is necessary when you connect. 6. Serial number Serial number is only required if a special meter is to be addressed when several meters are connected together with RS422. 7. Trace to file Under the Settings tab, a box can be checked to activate tracing to a file. A file named SerialTrace.log is then created in CeweConfig's installation directory. All communications between CeweConfig and the meter are presented in the file. The function can be used to analyse communication problems. 8. Click the Connect button. Note: For Ethernet communication, the Serial Port (RS232/RS422) option should be selected.
Problems with connecting
If the meter cannot be connected, an error message is displayed. Depending on the reason, the message can suggest corrective actions, such as changing the port or port baud rate. Tip: When communication problems occur, the trace feature on the meter's display can be used to see if that which has been sent has been registered by the meter. See the section Using the display for communication diagnostics (pg. 60).
Basic configuration
Some basic settings may be required before the CewePrometer will be able to measure and operate correctly in a system. Note: Settings are only necessary if they have not been made at the factory prior to delivery. Meters supplied without backup batteries retain the time setting for a maximum of three days. For time-dependent functions such as logging and event logging to work, the clock may need to be adjusted. 20

To change the configuration for a meter, you must be connected to it. Click the Configuration folder in the structure tree to the left in CeweConfig to display the various functions that can be configured. For more information see the section Changing configuration (pg. 25). Tip: You can save a configuration from a meter to a file. A summary of the configuration can also be printed out. You can also create a configuration without being connected to a meter. For more information, see Working with configurations (pg. 26).
Meter clock: To configure the meter clock, choose the node Meter Configuration Clock in the structure tree. Find out how the meter clock works and how it can be configured in the section Meter clock (pg. 30).
Transformer ratios: For the meter to measure accurately, the ratios must be correct. To configure the transformer ratio in CeweConfig, choose the node Meter Configuration Measuring in the structure tree. Click the General tab in the window that opens. Fill in the primary and secondary values for current and voltage. Note 1: The values you choose as primary and secondary values will be considered as the nominal values. These nominal values are used by several functions in the meter: alarms, voltage monitoring and transformer compensation. Any changes to measuring configuration is logged in the configuration log (see section Configuration log). Note 2: (1(2) and 5(10)A configurable meters). The measuring range of the meter is based on the nominal current and the max current. If the meter has a configurable nominal current, it is set by the CT secondary value. If it is configured as 1 A when connected to 5 A, the maximum of 2 A is violated with saturated current measurements as result. If it is configured as 5 A when connected to 1 A, the accuracy at low currents (<50 21

mA) will not be good enough. If configured and connected to anything else than 1 or 5 the accuracy is not guaranteed. Presentation format for energy registers: To configure the presentation format for energy registers, choose the node Meter Configuration Measuring in the structure tree. Choose the prefix and number of decimals for energy registers. Based on the nominal values, a capacity is calculated for how long the meter can measure without registers resetting. Read about energy registers in the section Energy registers (pg. 32). Pulse constants for pulse outputs (Digital I/O): To configure pulse constants for pulse outputs in CeweConfig, choose the node Meter Configuration Digital I/O in the structure tree. Find out how Digital I/O works and how it can be configured in the section Digital inputs and outputs (pg. 35). Display sequences: To configure display sequences in CeweConfig, choose the node Meter Configuration Display sequences in the structure tree. Find out how display sequences work and how they can be configured in the section Display sequences (pg. 38).

Warning dialog that sometimes is displayed when configurations are sent to the meter.
25

Working with configurations
In CeweConfig, you can work with configurations as a collection of CewePrometer's settings and save them in a file. On CeweConfig's File menu, are the commands Save configuration, Open configuration and New configuration. A configuration can either be for a 2- or 3-element meter. You cannot transfer a 2-element configuration to a 3-element meter or vice versa. Transformer corrections or passwords are not saved in configuration files. On the File menu, there is a command for creating a configuration summary. Below is a list of how you can use CeweConfig's functions to work with configurations. Creating a configuration file without being connected to a meter Choose New configuration when CeweConfig is not connected to create a configuration file offline. The configuration file can be either of the 2- or 3-element type. Make all settings that are to be included in the configuration file and save the file. The file's configuration can later be transferred to a meter. Saving a meter's configuration to a file Choose Save configuration when CeweConfig is connected to a meter to save the meter's configuration to a file. The configuration file can later be used as a backup or be transferred to another meter.
26

Transferring a configuration file to a meter Choose Open configuration when CeweConfig is connected to a meter to transfer a configuration file to the meter. The changes in configuration cause a dialog to open. The dialog shows all parameters that can be updated in the meter. You can select some parameters which will not be updated, e.g. transformer ratio, that might be specific for each meter. If you want an exact copy, all parameters must be selected.
Printing out a summary of a meter's configuration Choose View configuration Configuration summary when CeweConfig is connected to a meter to create a summary of the meter's entire configuration. Now choose Print. Printing out a summary of a configuration file Open a configuration file and choose View Configuration summary to create a summary of the configuration that is in the file. Now choose Print.
Note: Choosing New configuration or Open configuration when CeweConfig is connected to a meter opens a warning dialog box with the message that the configuration in the meter will be written over if you continue.
Reading
27

If you are connected to a CewePrometer with an authorisation level between 1 and 5, several alternatives will be available in the structure tree under the node Reading. For the alternatives Instant Values and Time, displayed values are constantly updated. The others are only updated when the window is opened or when the Update button is clicked. Read values can be printed out and often also saved to files, this can be done by with buttons Print and Save.
Information about the meter
Information about the connected meter can be obtained by choosing View Information about the meter. Some of the information displayed is the same as what appears on the meter plate. Additionally, there is information on when the meter was manufactured and when the most recent configuration change was made. Under the Modules heading, the firmware currently used in the meter is listed. See the section Updating firmware (pg. 29).
28

Versions and version conflicts
The latest version of CeweConfig can be used with all firmware versions of CewePrometer-R/W. The version number for CeweConfig is displayed on the application's title bar or under About on the Help menu. The version number for the meter's firmware can be viewed under View information about the meter on the View menu. CewePrometer and CeweConfig have three-digit version numbers according to the format main version.sub-version.build number. As long as the main version and sub-version are the same, CeweConfig and the meter are compatible. If the meter is of a newer version than CeweConfig and the main version and/or sub-version are different, CeweConfig will display a message that connection is not possible. CeweConfig must be updated.
Updating firmware
CewePrometer is designed with a number of modules that each have their own processors and their own firmware. The module firmware is distributed in a package file (.pkg) which is transferred to the meter using CeweConfig. Newly developed and improved functions can thus be added in a meter that lacked these functions when delivered. Note: Be sure to update CeweConfig to the latest version before updating the meter. There is otherwise the risk that CeweConfig will no longer be version-compliant after firmware updating.
On the Tools menu, there is an Update firmware command when the meter is connected with authorisation level 4 or higher. Begin by choosing the file that contains the update. The file name and version number will then be displayed, and sometimes a message. Click the Advanced button to view CeweConfig's version number by module for both the file and the meter. Additionally, you can force modules to be updated even if the file has the same version number. Click Update to begin updating.
29

During the time the update is being installed, the meter stops measuring and registering energy. Depending on the size of the file to be transferred and the baud rate, the time for updating can vary from a few minutes to a half hour at the highest baud rate. If possible, connect at the highest baud rate (19200 bps) to speed updating. After updating, the meter is restarted to complete installation of the meter's new firmware. Updating can be performed via a modem but this should be avoided since reliability for this method of communication is too low. An interrupted update can leave a meter with incomplete firmware that cannot measure at all. If an update via a modem has failed, the next update must be made via RS232/422 or the optical head.
Restrictions
Firmware updates can only be made to a firmware version with the same major version number as the firmware present in the meter. Example: It is not possible to update from 2.1.0 to 3.0.0. It is possible to update from 2.0.1 to 2.1.0.
Language
CeweConfig can be set to different languages. The available languages can be seen under Language on the View menu.

CewePrometer's various registers and log data can be reset with CeweConfig if a meter is connected and you are connected with a sufficiently high authorisation level. You will find a number of choices under Reset on the Tools menu. Some options may be marked in grey if your authorisation level is not high enough. To reset energy registers, authorisation level 5 is required, and level 3 for other options. A warning dialog box opens before resetting.
Functions
Meter clock
The CewePrometer has an integrated real-time clock for time-dependent functions. Information about time adjustment and daylight saving time status is recorded with tags on the logged values; see Loggers (pg.42). Time adjustments are also noted as an event in the event log; see Appendix B Events (pg. 70).
Instantaneous adjustment
The meters date and time can be set to an absolute point in time. Instantaneous adjustment of the meters time can influence logged values. To avoid this, the meter's log memory is reset when doing instantaneous adjustment. For this reason, instantaneous adjustment of the meter clock is primarily intended for use at initial configuration of the meter.
Sliding adjustment
The meters time can be adjusted successively. Instead of the meter adjusting the clock instantaneously, the total adjustment is spread out over a longer period. A speed of adjustment can 30
Using the display

be chosen in the 140% range. With 40%-adjustment, the clock is adjusted 24 seconds for each minute until the total adjustment has been made.
Daylight saving time
CewePrometer offers the alternative of letting the meter clock follow daylight savings time. At a specified date, the meter clock is adjusted forward, and at another, adjusted backward. CewePrometer can store ten (10) years of DST configuration. Example: On 28 March the clock is to be adjusted forward, from 02:00 to 03:00. The adjustment back to standard time is to occur on 31 October at 3:00 (daylight savings time) when the clock is to be set back to 02:00. The following is set in the meters: Begin March, 28, 02:00. End October, 31, 03:00 and the standard time is to be adjusted by 60 minutes.
External synchronisation
The meter time can be adjusted by a pulse on one of the meters digital inputs. When a pulse is registered, the clock is adjusted to the closest multiple of a specified synchronisation interval. If the synchronisation interval is, for example, one hour and the time is 13:29, a pulse will adjust the clock to 13:00. If the time had instead been 13:31, the clock would have been adjusted to 14:00. Available synchronisation intervals are: 10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes 1 hour Times 12:00 and 00:00 Time 00:00 Besides specifying that the meter clock will synchronise via external pulses, a digital input must also be configured for clock synchronisation; see the section Digital inputs and outputs (pg. 35). Battery monitoring The battery is used to backup the real time clock. The battery monitoring function estimates the time left of the battery. At installation of a battery the monitoring function must be restarted via CeweConfig.

Energy registers
Energy registers in the CewePrometer are electronic counters that accumulate energy. Prefixes and number of decimals are configured which apply to all energy registers. Energy registers have a width of nine digits, regardless of the total number of decimals and the prefix configured. When an energy register has reached its maximum figure (for example, 999999.999 kWh), it resets to zero. Fewer decimals and larger prefixes give the energy registers space for more energy without resetting. Read more about how energy is calculated and defined by quadrants in Appendix F Calculation Principles (pg. 81).
Overview
The table shows the energy registers available in the meter.

Storage in non-volatile memory
All registers are saved in non-volatile memory once per second. Loss of auxiliary voltage therefore results in no more than one second of lost historical energy measurement data. For optimal safekeeping, all registers are saved in three alternating memory areas.

Instant values
Besides energy, the CewePrometer can also measure instant values. Instant values are constantly changing values such as current, voltage, power and harmonics. The formulas and definitions used to calculate the values are presented in Appendix F Calculation Principles (pg. 81).
Overview
This table provides an overview of the instant values that can be read on the meter. Readings can be viewed with CeweConfig, on the display and with other software that has implemented CewePrometers communication protocol. Most instant values can be logged; for more information, see section Loggers (pg. 42).

Update frequency
The update frequency for instant values is proportional to the frequency of the measuring voltage. With a 50 Hz measuring voltage, updating occurs 12.5 times per second, and at 60 Hz, 15 times per second. Instant values can be read up to twice per second via the serial port when it is set to 19200 baud.
Calculated from the voltages fundamental vectors. The harmonics for voltage on the 2-element meter are to be seen from the standpoint of the voltages being Dconnected internally. 3 Current L2 is calculated internally in the 2-element meter for monitoring. 4 The value can be read in CeweConfig and via the communication protocol but cannot currently be presented on the display (meter firmware 1.2.0).

Prefix for units in the display
The presentation for units and the number of decimals depends on the magnitude of the value.
Harmonics measurement
Harmonics numbers 2 to 31 are measured for all currents and voltages. At a fundamental frequency of 50 Hz, the second harmonic is 100 Hz, the third harmonic is 150 Hz, etc. Both the harmonics amplitude and phase angle are measured and included in the calculation of power and energy, and can be read via the meters communication protocols. In CeweConfig, harmonic amplitudes are presented with a diagram.
THD
THD stands for Total Harmonics Distortion and is a measurement of the amount of harmonics present in a signal. Voltages and currents THD can be read via CeweConfig and on the display.
Harmonics on 2-element meter
The harmonics measurements of voltage on the 2-element meters should be seen from the standpoint of the voltages being D-connected internally in the meter. The harmonics measured are the vector sums of the phases harmonics.

Using the display

Digital inputs and outputs
The CewePrometer has several inputs and outputs that can be configured to perform various tasks. Both inputs and outputs are protected against overvoltages by varistors. They also have an isolated interface between the electronics and the surroundings to ensure personal safety. For electrical data on the meters inputs and outputs, see Appendix H Connection & General (pg. 87).
Inputs
The inputs can be configured as follows: Not used The input is not used. Finish historical period An incoming pulse will result in the present period ending and registers being copied to historical registers. For a pulse to finish historical period, it is also necessary that the historical registers be configured to allow this. For more information, see the section Historical registers (pg. 50). Pulse input To register pulses from pulse-producing units, such as energy meters or water meters, pulse inputs are used. Incoming pulses are accumulated in registers called external registers. There is an external register connected to each input on the meter. For external registers, a factor is configured by which the number of incoming pulses is multiplied. Prefixes and the number of decimals can also be configured for the registers. Moreover, the registers can be configured with descriptive texts. Time synchronisation When incoming pulses are received, the meters clock is synchronised at a specific interval For available synchronisation intervals and more detailed information on time synchronisation, see the section Meter clock (pg. 30). Rate input Up to three digital inputs can be configured to control the active rate. Each input will correspond to a bit and the significance is also defined for the digital input. A high level on the input will signify that the bit is 1 while a low level will signify 0. How the digital input levels are mapped to rates is defined in the Time of use panel (pg. 51).
Registration of pulses The meter registers pulses on positive or negative flanks, depending on if the input is set to inverted or not. A pulse must be at least 16 ms long to be guaranteed of being detected by the meter. The maximum pulse width that the meter can handle is 60 s. By setting limits for maximum and minimum pulse lengths, the meter can be limited as to what it detects as a valid pulse. Pulses with lengths beyond the established limits are ignored. The occurrence of to long or to short pulses can also be configured to be recorded in the event log.

The figure shows pulse lengths when an input is inverted or non-inverted, respectively.
Outputs
The outputs can be configured as follows: Not used The output is not used. Pulse output The output is used to pulse an energy type that the meter is measuring. A pulse constant is specified for the output as pulses/unit, primary or secondary, and the pulse length is specified for all pulse outputs. The shortest possible pulse length is 40 ms. Pulses are not allowed not come too often, and because of this, there is a relationship between the pulse length and the specified pulse constant that maximises the pulse frequency to 1000/(pulse length(ms) * 2).
Pulse
Gap
Maximum pulse frequency at outputs limited so that the gap is at least as long as the pulse length. Remote control With this function, the output can be made active or inactive by sending commands to the meter via the IEC62056-21/IEC1107 protocol. This functions could be used control anything that can be controlled with a digital relay output. Alarm output When an output is set to functions as an alarm output, one or more of the user-defined alarms can be chosen to indicate at the output. When an alarm occurs, the output switches to active, and when the alarm state ceases, the output returns to inactive. In the section Alarms (pg. 45), user-defined alarms are described and how they can be configured. In contrast to the other selectable functions for outputs, alarm outputs can be inverted. Note that outputs are inverted via firmware. If the meter loses its auxiliary power, the relay will open, regardless of it is inverted or not.

Using the display

End of MD period (maximum demand period) At the end of a set MD period, the output will go active for one second before returning to the inactive state. See the section Maximum demand (pg. 48).
Output states An active output means a closed relay when the output is not inverted. When the output is inverted, the active relay is open. The output can only be inverted when used as an alarm or pulse output The CewePrometer outputs are of the solid-state type and when the meter is turned off, they are open.

Display sequences
The following is a description of the function properties of CewePrometers display sequences. The section Fel! Ogiltig sjlvreferens i bokmrke. (pg. 30) describes how to navigate in the display sequences via the meters buttons, and
Appendix A Display Layouts (pg. 62) lists all of the CewePrometers available display layouts.
Menu for choosing one of the four display sequences. The names of the sequences can be configured.
The CewePrometer is equipped with a graphic display that can show the information available in the meter. To organise the information, there can be up to five display sequences with a maximum of 40 selectable display layouts in each. Each display sequence can be given a name that will be presented on the display. Display sequence five is only accessible via the sealed button under the front panel window. The front panel window can be sealed to provide additional security. For this reason, it is appropriate that display layouts with sensitive information and sensitive functions be placed in display sequence five.
Automatic display cycling
Automatic display cycling means that the display layouts in one or more display sequences are automatically cycled by the meter. If, for example, display sequences 1 and 3 are configured for automatic display layout cycling, the meter will first cycle the display layouts in sequence 1 from the first to last layout, and then continue with sequence 3. After the last layout in sequence 3, cycling restarts with the first layout in sequence 1. The display layouts cycle with a configurable delay of 1 to 30 seconds. If a user manually navigates in the display sequences via the meter's buttons, cycling automatically stops and continues again after one minute.
Passwords and security
The display sequences can be configured to be password protected to limit access for various users. When a user chooses a password-protected display sequence via the meters buttons, a password entry field is displayed. Only a correctly entered password gives access to the display sequence and to the display layouts that are included in it. A password can be up to six characters long and include the characters A-Z, 0-9 and :;<>=?@. Passwords are not case-sensitive. Note: If a password-protected display sequence is configured for automatic display layout cycling, password protection is deactivated.
Automatic return to first display layout
One minute after a user has stopped navigating in the display sequences, the CewePrometer returns to the first display layout in display sequence 1 if automatic display layout cycling is not activated for any display sequence.
38
Functions
Locked (required) display sequence
The meter can be configured to not allow any changes of display sequence 4. This setting (Block configuration of display sequence 4) is available in the Communication and Security form. The setting can only be changed at access level 5. Since access level 5 typically requires the security hardware jumper, this feature can be used to enforce a display sequence that cannot be changed or deactivated using CeweConfig.
39
Functions
Communications and security

All CewePrometers are equipped with an optical port for communication. The meter can be optionally equipped with one or two (three on the rack meter) additional communication ports with RS232, RS422 (RS485) or Ethernet interfaces. CewePrometer supports the IEC62056-21 (formerly IEC 1107) and on the additional ports also the DLMS/COSEM protocol. For more information on protocol support, see the document CewePrometer meter reading.
Communication speed
The meters optical port always starts with a baud rate of 300 bps, regardless of what is configured, before shifting over to the specified communication speed. This means that software (for example, CeweConfig) that communicates with the meter via the optical port does not need to know the speed that the meters optical port is set to. The optional ports designated as communication ports #1 and #2 differ in this respect. They start at the specified baud rate from the beginning, which means that connected software must be aware of the speed to be able to communicate. Communication port #1 can be set at a speed of between 300 bps and 19200 bps, and communication port #2 can be set at a speed of between 1200 and 19200 bps. The optical port can be set at a speed of between 300 and 9600 bps.
Modem initiation
If a modem is connected to one of the optional ports, a modem initiation string can be configured that the meter sends via the serial port. The initiation string can be used to set the correct communication settings for the modem and can consist of AT-Commands. The meter sends the initiation string when the meter is turned on and thereafter every tenth minute. During ongoing communications, the meter waits to send the initiation string until communications has stopped.
Bus address
A bus address can be defined for any serial communication port in the meter and shall have a value of 16 or higher. This setting is only used for the DLSM/COSEM protocol. See the document CewePrometer meter reading for more details.
Security
The meter has five authorisation levels that can limit access to the meter during communication via any of the meters communication ports. Authorisation levels 1 and 2 are password-protected. Authorisation levels 3 to 5 may be protected by passwords or by a circuit board jumper. Authorisation levels 1 Provides access to reading. 2 Provides access to everything in level 1 plus access to set the clock and finish historical periods (also resets maximum demand values). 3 Provides access to everything in level 2 plus access to configure the meter. 4 Provides access to everything in level 3 plus access to transfer new firmware to the meter. 5 Provides access to everything in level 4 plus access to calibrate the 40
Functions
meter, reset registers and change certain security setting. Limitation of total access attempts The meter limits the total number of access attempts to six when incorrect passwords are entered. At the seventh attempt, the meter blocks access whether the password is correct or not. The block is in effect until the next hour shift. After that, new password attempts may be made. Passwords A password consists of up to 12 case insensitive alpha-numerical characters. The authorisation check may be deactivated for a level by deleting the password. When connecting to the meter, access is granted to the highest level that is lacking password regardless of the password given by the user. If the setting Require COP password compliance (min length 6) is activated, a new password is required to be at least 6 characters. The setting can only be changed at access level 5. Security settings The following security settings modify what can be configured at what access level. The settings are of the type active/not active, and can only be changed at access level 5. Permit measuring configuration only at level 5 If this setting is active, settings in the measurement form can only be changed at access level 5. Block configuration of transformer compensation If this setting is active, transformer compensation cannot be changed at all. Block configuration of display sequence 4 If this setting is active, it is not possible to change the content of display sequence 4, or change its name or activation.
Access restriction via circuit board jumper Inside the CewePrometer, there is space for a circuit board jumper that provides access to authorisation level 5 when fitted. If the meter is connected with authorisation at level 5, the function of the jumper can be modified. Security can be heightened by requiring the jumper even for lower authorisation levels down to level 3. Security can also be relaxed by making authorisation level 5 accessible via a password. Cewe Instrument can provide a technical fact sheet, tfcr0004, that describes the procedure for opening the meter and fitting the jumper. Access restriction for measurement configuration Generally the meter allows to be reconfigured at access level 3. This function requires level 5 for measuring configuration.

Functions
Loggers
The CewePrometer has two identical, parallel and individually configurable loggers. That which is described in this section applies both to logger 1 and logger 2.
Overview
A logger in a CewePrometer can log values for instant quantities, energy registers and external registers. Some quantities can be logged both by phase and as total values for all three phases, others only as total values. The table provides an overview of quantities that can be logged. Certain instant values in the table are not available in 2-element meters and thus cannot be logged; see the section Instant values (pg. 33).

Energy is logged as register values, i.e. at each logging occasion the current registers values is logged. Based on these register values, the reading software can present the energy as register values, periodic energy or as average power. CeweConfig provides all three alternatives. Instant values can be logged as average, maximum or minimum value during the logging interval or as the instantaneous value at the end of the logging interval. Maximums and minimums are detected based on 1 sec. interval snapshots, and average is calculated based on 1 sec. interval snapshots.
Logging interval and total channels
A logger can store data in 1 to 10 channels. Common for all channels in a logger is that that the logging interval that can be configured from one minute up to one hour. A loggers capacity is dependent on number of channels and logging interval. When the logger is full, the oldest values will be written over. The table shows the capacity in number of days before the oldest value is written over. 42

Storage of logged values
Logged values are saved with time stamps, tariff information and flags that indicate events that have occurred during the logging interval. The time stamp indicates the end-time. If the logging interval is configured to one hour, a value with the time stamp 15:00 refers to the period 14:00 to 15:00. Tariff information indicates active rates for energy and power during the past interval. To indicate events or states during an interval, a logged value can be stored with one or more flags.
Name of flag T D Explanation During the past interval, the meter clock has been adjusted either instantaneous or a sliding adjustment is in progress. The past interval is incomplete. For example, an interval shortened by the meter being without auxiliary power or if the logging memory has been reset. The first value after the logging memory having been configured will thus always be indicated with "Faulty value (the logging memory is reset in conjunction with reconfiguration). In conjunction with user-defined alarms being configured, it may be specified that an alarm will also be indicated with logged values. When a user-defined alarm has triggered during the past interval, this is indicated with the flag Alarm. The CewePrometers configuration, calibration or initiation has changed. Which of these three the flag refers to can be seen in the event log. The CewePrometer can be configured for a normal energy direction, import or export. If the meters energy direction deviates from this, this is indicated with the flag Incorrect energy direction. Daylight saving time has been in effect during the past interval. During the past interval all measuring voltages have been lost or missing. To be able to guarantee that a logged value is correct, it is logged with a control sum. If the check sum is incorrect when the value is read, this is indicated with Invalid value. This is a rare event, but could occur if the meter is subjected to powerful, external electromagnetic interference. Estimated battery lifetime is up. During the past interval have the meter been without auxiliary power.

For several of the flags, additional information can be viewed in the event log. A more exact time for events is specified in the log. Note: When power is calculated from logged energy values, the resulting values will be somewhat more precise than when power is logged directly. This is because power is logged as an average value of instant values. The instant values are read twice per second, while energy is accumulated continuously. 43
Functions
Behaviour after power loss
When the meter starts again after loss of auxiliary power, any energy accumulated up to the power loss will be stored with a time stamp immediately following the power loss. The incomplete log record before the power loss will have the following limitations: If any instant values were configured to be logged, they will be recorded as 0. The only notification flags that are handled are D, S and O. If tariff is controlled using rate input, tariff will be recorded as 1.
44
Functions
Alarms
The CewePrometer is equipped with alarms to be able to indicate when measured quantities are over or under a configurable limit value. The meter enters the alarm state when the limit value is reached. An alarm is generated only after the alarm state has continued for a configurable time (delay). Alarms are configurable by the user and are therefore called user-defined alarms. For the CewePrometer 1.2.0 or earlier, the maximum delay is 64 seconds. Note: There are alarms and events that cannot be configured, but instead, are always active. Examples of such alarms are indication that the clock has been changed or that an auxiliary power loss has occurred. For more information, see the section Event log (pg. 47).
Overview
For most user-defined alarms, the limit value is specified as a percentage of the nominal value, which is the configured, nominal primary value (current, voltage or power). For 3-element meters, the limit value corresponds to phase voltage, and for 2-element meters, phase to phase voltage. The following table provides an overview of available alarms.
Alarm Low voltage High voltage Low power factor Voltage unbalance Alarm state applies when The average value of the voltages is beneath the nominal voltage limit value. The average value of the voltages is above the nominal voltage limit value. The power factor for the 3-phase system is beneath the limit value. A voltage deviates percentage-wise from the average value of all voltages more than the limit value. A current deviates percentage-wise from the average value of all currents more than the limit value. The 3-phase systems total power is beneath the nominal power limit value. The 3-phase systems total power is above the nominal power limit value. The average value of THD for all voltage phases exceeds the limit value. The average value of THD for all current phases exceeds the limit value. An overtone (2nd to 31st) relative to the basic tone on same voltage phase exceeds the limit value. An overtone (2nd to 31st) relative to the basic tone on same current phase exceeds the limit value. The phase angle for a phase deviates by more than 90 degrees from another phase. Comments

Functions
Event log
The CewePrometer has a number of defined events and alarms that are stored in the meters event log when they occur. The event log can contain a maximum of 100 events. Thereafter, the oldest will be removed to make room for the new. The meter has a counter for the total number of events that have occurred since the latest reset. An event is represented by a time stamp and a code that indicates what has occurred. See Appendix B Events (pg. 70) for a complete list of all events. For certain events, data is also stored for the events, for example, which phase the event concerns. Events are divided into three categories: User-defined alarms The meter has a number of alarms that when they occur, generate an event in the event log. The alarms each have an individual configuration that determines the conditions for when an alarm is to be activated. See the section Alarms (pg. 45). Meter events The meter is also equipped with a number of alarms that are not configurable by the user, so-called meter events. These have set conditions and are stored only in the event log. Examples of meter events are auxiliary power loss and clock resetting. A complete list of meter events is in Appendix B Events (pg. 70). Internal errors The contents of the internal data structures, such as configuration and energy registers, are checked by the meter. If an error is detected in one of the data structures, it is designated as an internal error. If an internal error is indicated, the event log should be checked for related information, and suitable actions should be taken. Internal errors are listed in Appendix B Events (pg. 70).
Display of events
The event log can be viewed on the meters display if the display layout Events is configured to be included in one of the meters display sequences. Only the time stamp and event code are shown on the display. A more detailed description of the meter's events can be viewed in CeweConfig, which converts the code into plain text and displays any related data. Via CeweConfig, the event log can also be printed out or saved to a file.
Configuration log
Any changes to measurement configuration are logged in the meters configuration log. The configuration log can contain a maximum of 100 changes. Any further changes will be denied, until the configuration log is cleared. Clearing of the configuration log can be done with the command Tool/Reset/Event log(configuration), and requires access level 5. The configuration log can be viewed in CeweConfig. Each entry describes which setting was changed, and lists the old value (hexadecimally encoded). The configuration log can also be included in a display sequence on the meter.
47
Functions
Maximum demand
Maximum demand is the highest average value of, for example, active power during a historical period. The average value is calculated for an interval and compared with a previously stored value. If the new average value exceeds the previously stored value, it becomes the new value for maximum demand. When a historical period ends, the current maximum demand values are copied to historical registers and then reset. The CewePrometer always stores the three highest average values from three different days.
Overview
Up to eight quantities can be saved in the maximum demand registers, which makes a total of 24 values with time stamps for when they occurred. The table shows the types of energy that can produce maximum demand values.
Active energy import Active energy export Reactive energy import Reactive energy export Reactive energy inductive Reactive energy capacitive Reactive energy QI Reactive energy QII Reactive energy QIII Reactive energy QIV Apparent energy import Apparent energy export
The calculation interval for average values determines the period during which average values are calculated. At the end of the interval, the new average value is compared with the previous and possibly stored as a new maximum demand value. The calculation interval can be chosen between 1 and 60 minutes in the following predefined steps: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 minutes. Example: A historical period has just been finished and all maximum demand values have been reset. The meter is configured with a calculation interval of 30 minutes and active power as the quantity for which to calculate the average value. The table is read from top to bottom and illustrates what will be stored in the maximum demand registers at the various times.

Note: There is never more than one maximum demand value for one day. Cumulative Maximum Demand For each MD value there is an associated accumulating register. When a historical period is finished, the MD values are accumulated to these registers. Rising Demand CewePrometer has a function to show the Rising Demand in the display. The value is presented as a continuously increasing demand until the end of the MD period. During the demand period the display also shows the elapsed time of the period. When the MD period ends this counter is set to zero.

Functions
Historical registers
Historical registers are used by the CewePrometer to store current register values at defined points so as to be able to read them later. Stored in historical registers are all maximum demand values, external registers, TOU registers and energy registers, with the exception of energy registers by phase. The historical registers are time stamped to indicate when storage occurred. The CewePrometer can store up to 15 historical registers.
Date and time Energy registers Maximum demand values External registers
Time of use registers
Historical register includes a number of stored registers, and dates/times when they were stored. Finish historical period By finishing a historical period, the current registers values are stored in historical registers and the maximum demand values are reset. When a period is finished, an event is stored in the meters event log. Periods can be finished in various ways: Via meter button The period is finished when the meters Menu/Apply button is held down for more than two seconds when the display layout Finish period is active. This requires both that the historical registers are configured to permit finish via the meter button and that a display layout for this is entered in a display sequence. Via CeweConfig At the end of the month Via digital input. The period is finished when a command is given from CeweConfig or third-party software. The period is finished when the meter clock reaches the end of the month. The period ends when a pulse is received at a digital input on the meter. This requires both that the historical registers are configured to permit ending via a digital input and that an input is configured for this purpose. Note: The display layout Finish period will only work if the meter is configured to permit ending a period via a button. Lock out time for finish historical period The Lock out time prevents the user to create a new historical period within a configurated time.

Functions
Time of use
Time of use is a function that enables energy to be divided up into various registers depending on the rate that applied when the energy was measured. In the CewePrometer, tariff structures can be stored that switch rates at predetermined times according to a configurable pattern. A tariff structure consists of seasons, day types and special days or rate input. The maximum number of rates is eight. Day types specify how rates change during a 24-hour day. Seasons specify the day types that apply during the days of the week, Monday to Sunday. Special days specify the day type that applies on a certain date. Rate input can be used to control active rate depending on the state of digital input signals.
Tariff structures
In the CewePrometer, there are two separate tariff structures. Both tariff structures have a set of day types, seasons and special days. By setting a starting date for a tariff structure, it can be configured before it goes into force.
Day type
In the CewePrometer, there are 16 day types (AP). A day type specifies witch rate, from a maximum of eight, should apply when during the day. 16 changing points per day may be specified. A day type can be connected to a day of the week in a season or to a special day.
Season
A season refers to a period. During this period, the season defines the day types that will apply during the days of the week. In the CewePrometer, there are 16 seasons per tariff structure. The seasons are arranged in a sequence where one season replaces the previous at a predetermined date.
Special days
Days that change rates according to a pattern that is not covered by linking day types to seasons (such as holidays) are called special days. A special day specifies the day type that applies on a certain date. Special days can be configured to apply every year on the same date or for a single year. In the CewePrometer, up to 30 special days per tariff structure can be configured.
Rate input
Rate input structures are the only option in Time of use except TOU registers if Rate input are chosen in digital input. It is not possible to combine Rate input with other types of rates. Two to eight different rates can be configured for the energy registers and maximum demand. The rates for the energy register and maximum demand can be configured independently of each other.
TOU registers
An energy register or external register that is chosen to be divided into the rates is a TOU register. There are eight TOU registers and each TOU register has separate registers for eight rates.
51
Functions
Maximum demand values and tariffs
Maximum demand values are stored together with information on which rate applied when registered. For one and the same day, there can be separate day types for energy and maximum demand values. Example: The conditions are Monday to Saturday, rate 2 applies from 7:00 in the morning until 17:00 in the afternoon. For the rest of the day, rate 1 applies. On Sundays, rate 1 applies around the clock. During the summer months, 1June to 31 August, rate 1 applies around the clock. On Christmas Eve, 24 December, rate 1 applies around the clock. For maximum demand values, rate 3 always applies. It is active energy import that is divided in to different rates. Day types Three day types must be configured. Day type A to apply to energy during the autumn, winter and spring. Day type B to apply during the summer months, and day type C for maximum demand values throughout the year.
Day type A 00:00 Rate 1 07:00 Rate 2 17:00 Rate 1 Day type B 00:00 Rate 1 Day type C 00:00 Rate 3
Seasons Two seasons must be configured. The first season will apply during the summer period and the second the rest of the year. The season that applies from 1 September will also apply from 1 January to 31 May.

Functions
Transformer compensation
Transformer compensation is a function for compensating for measurement errors in instrument transformers and for losses in power transformers. The function enables the CewePrometer to present measurement values for which errors and losses have been compensated. The formulas used in the meter are presented in Appendix F Calculation Principles (pg. 81). Changing the transformer compensation can be blocked by the security setting Block configuration of transformer compensation. This setting can only be changed at access level 5.
Overview
The tables present an overview of the transformer compensations in CewePrometer.

Instrument transformer compensations Name Value to entered Voltage error L1, L2, L3 Amplitude error as percent Phase angle in minutes Current error L1, L2, L3 Amplitude error as percent Phase angle in minutes Power transformer compensations Name Copper losses, Total values Iron losses, Total values
Value to entered Active loss as percent of nominal power Reactive loss as percent of nominal power Active loss as percent of nominal power Reactive loss as percent of nominal power
Instrument transformer compensations
To compensate for errors in instrument transformers, their amplitude error in percent and phase angle error in minutes are configured in the meter. One minute is equal to the angle 1/60. The errors can be specified separately for all voltages and currents. When instrument transformer compensations are used, current and voltage are affected, as well as all quantities that arise from these: power, energy, etc.
2-element meter
When voltage errors are compensated on a 2-element meter, this is done on phase to phase voltages L12, L23 and L31 instead of on phase voltages. Only L12 and L23 are included in the calculation of power and energy. Compensation of L31 has no significance in this respect. In compensation of current errors for 2-element meters, only L1 and L3 can be compensated for because they are the only currents measured.
Power transformer losses
Power transformer losses consist of copper and iron losses. They are expressed as percentages of nominal power. One value is specified for active loss and one for reactive. When compensation of losses is configured, power, energy, power factor, etc. are affected but not current and voltage.
53
Functions
Calculating loss values Based on the nominal total power and the measured loss value in watts, a loss value can be calculated as a percentage of nominal power. It is the loss value that is configured in the meter. Nominal power is calculated with configured nominal current and voltage. Nominal power: Powernom = Current nom Line voltagenom 3 Loss value: Loss value = Loss / Powernom 100
54
Functions
Power quality
Power quality encompasses voltage monitoring and harmonics measurement. Harmonics measurement is described in the section Instant values (pg. 33).
Voltage monitoring
Voltage monitoring monitors three states: swells (overvoltage), sags (undervoltage) and interrupts. Monitoring is activated by configuring the limit values for sags and swells, and is deactivated by setting the limits to zero. The limits are expressed as percentages of configured nominal voltage. Example: For an upper limit of 110% and a lower limit of 90%, and the configured nominal primary voltage of 10 kV, the limits attained are 9 kV and 11 kV primary. For 3-element meters, the average value for phase voltage is monitored, and for 2-element meters, the average value for phase to phase voltage is monitored. Sags and swells Sags and swells shorter than one second are registered by accumulating registers. If the state lasts longer than one second, it is instead registered in the event log with a time stamp and duration. The accumulating counters and the event log can be read in CeweConfig. Interrupts When the average value for voltage falls to under 10% of the configured nominal voltage, this is registered as an interrupt in the event log with a time stamp and duration. Duration for an interrupt of less than three seconds, and down to 160 ms, is presented as "< 3 s".

Applies to basic frequency 50 Hz. Corresponding time at 60 Hz is 130 ms.
55
Functions
Hysteresis
Hysteresis means that the limit for a state and the limit for when it is restored are different. This to avoid several states being registered when the voltage level varies around a limit. The hysteresis limit is always midway between the low or high limit and nominal voltage.

Hardware Communication protocol Data format Baud rate Ethernet RJ-45 IEC62056-21/IEC1107 Mode C, programming mode or DLMS/COSEM IEC62056-21/IEC1107: 1 start bit, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, even parity DLMS: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity Port #1 30019200 bps, Port #2 120019200 bps
Configure the Ethernet adapter
Search the www.lantronix.com for the latest version of the Device installer. Download it and install the program on your computer. Start the program Device Installer on your menu. The device need to get the correct IP on your network. This procedure is fully described in the Lantronix pdfs DeviceInstaller User Guide and XPort User Guide but also in short here. Click on the Assign IP button and choose Assign a specific IP address. Set the new IP address to the device and also subnet mask. Follow the instructions in the program.
74
When Device Installer has found the device on your LAN, highlight it and click on Web configuration.
Click external browser to open a www-window. The device does not have any password. Just click OK when the question about password is given. Configure the Serial Settings screen as below.
75
The baudrate in the CewePrometer is default set at 9600 baud. If you choose to set it to another you also need to change it for the appropriate port via CeweConfig software. Click OK on the bottom of the page. Observe: IEC62056-21(IEC 1107) Data bits =7, Parity=Even and Stop Bits =1 DLMS/COSEM Data bits=8, Parity=No and Stop Bits=1 Change to screen Connection. Check that its as on the picture below.
To save the new configuration, click the Apply Settings tag on the left menu. 76

Install a virtual comport
The CeweConfig software needs a comport to be assigned to the CewePrometer. To be able to communicate over the LAN you need to install the Lantronix Redirector software. Download the Redirector file from ftp://ftp.lantronix.com/pub/old_rel/redirector/3.1.0.1/ There are newer versions of this software but this is needed to work with the functions within CeweConfig. Start the program Configuration on your menu. The device needs to get the correct IP on your network. The following steps are also described in details in the included Help section of the program. Select an appropriate COM port from the drop-down list. Click Add IP and type in the IP for the XPort. Also type in 10001 for the TCPPort. Click Port Settings and set the boxes Timeout reconnect, Server Reconnect and Raw Mode. Also check that reconnect limit is set to 0. Click Save and close. Launch CeweConfig and connect to the meter on the appropriate Com port.

Appendix D Module block diagram Appendix D - Module block diagram
Communications between modules
The intelligent function modules that make up the CewePrometer are autonomous units with their own micro-controllers and own firmware. These are connected in an internal network through an internal bus. For internal communications, information transfer is via a CAN bus. This bus is designed for reliable operation in harsh electrical environments, primarily in motor vehicles, and has high transfer reliability and error detection.

Appendix E Frequently Asked Questions Appendix E Frequently Asked Questions

Display sequences
Which information is not available via the CewePrometer's display? Graphs for discrete harmonics, vector graphs on 2-element meters, logged values and counters for short sags and swells. This information cannot presently (meter version 1.2.0) be read via the meter's display. The information is accessible via CeweConfig and via the communication protocol.
Meter clock
What happens if a new successive adjustment is made when one is already underway? The current adjustment will be stopped and the new begun. What happens if the meter time is set within an hour before the change from daylight savings time to standard time? If the meter time is set to daylight savings time before the change, it will be set back to standard time automatically at the approaching time change. If the meter time is set to standard time before the change, it will not be affected at the approaching time change. If you set the meter to use DST during the summer period, will the meter clock then change time to DST? No, the meter will always have the same time regardless when you set DST. When summer time starts, the clock jumps one hour. What happens if the user sets the meter to a time within that hour? The mter will ignore the new time because that hour does not exist. When the DST ends the clock will move backwards one hour. What happens if one set the time in the meter to that hour? Will there be four or two occasions of that hour? The meter assumes that the time is in DST if it is during that period and assumes it is in normal time when it is in that period. The meter will not shift twice. What happens if more than one input is used for clock synchronisation? Several inputs can be used simultaneously to receive synchronising pulses even if this is unlikely. How are logged values affected by the daylight savings time change? According to the example: Change from standard to daylight savings time 2005-03-28 01:30 3467.4 kWh 2005-03-28 03:00 3523.2 kWh 2005-03-28 03:30 3602.5 kWh Change from daylight savings to standard time 2005-10-31 02:30 3345.4 kWh 2005-10-31 02:00 3756.7 kWh 2005-10-31 02:30 4132.8 kWh 2005-10-31 03:00 4583.1 kWh Logged values during daylight savings time are labelled with the flag S. S means that the timestamp is in DST. What are the possible consequences of adjusting the meter clock immediately? 79
Appendix E Frequently Asked Questions

Because CeweConfig does not permit the clock to be adjusted immediately without simultaneously resetting the logging memory, this is purely hypothetical. If it were to be allowed, then if the clock is adjusted forward over one or more interval limits, there will be empty spaces in the logging memory and values will be lacking for one or more intervals. It the clock is adjusted backward over one or more interval limits, one or more values will exist with the same time stamps. In the worst event, this can result in data read from the meter not matching the expected period.

Current and voltage
RMS values for current and voltage are calculated as the root of the sum of squares for the harmonic components up to the 31th harmonic.
I1 I2
The currents first harmonic component (fundamental) specified as peak value. The currents second harmonic component specified as peak value, has doubled frequency compared to the first harmonic.

Harmonic component power
The calculations below are for active power, the calculations for reactive are identical except for that cos-functions are replaced with sin-functions. P1n Pn Active power in L1 is calculated for harmonic component n. Total active power is calculated for harmonic component n. Phase angle between harmonic component U 1n and I1n

Appendix F Calculation Principles

Pn = U 12 n I1n cos(1n ) + U 32 n I 3n cos( 2 n )
Active and reactive power
Active and reactive power is calculated as the sum of harmonic component power up to 31st harmonic. The calculation is made with plus and minus signs, where negative power represents export direction and positive represents import direction.
P P1 Q Q1
Total active power Active power in L1 Total reactive power Reactive power in L1
P = P1 + P 2 + P3 Q = Q1 + Q 2 + Q3 For 2-element meters, two elements are added instead of three.

Apparent power
S S1
Total apparent power Apparent power in L1
S = P2 + Q2 S1 = P12 + Q12
Energy
Energy is calculated by integrating power (P, Q and S) over time.

Definition of quadrants The term phase angle is described under its own heading below.
Quadrant I: phase angle 190 Quadrant II: phase angle 90180 Quadrant III: phase angle -180(-90) Quadrant IV: phase angle (-90)0
Active energy
Active energy is calculated for import and export. The direction is controlled by the sign for active power (+ import, export). Active energy import: quadrant I and IV Active energy export: quadrant II and III
82

Reactive energy
Reactive energy is calculated for four quadrants. The quadrant is controlled by the sign for active and reactive power (e.g., active power >= 0 and reactive power >= 0 corresponding to quadrant I). Reactive energy import: quadrant I and II Active energy export: quadrant III and IV Reactive energy inductive: quadrant I and III Reactive energy capacitive: quadrant II and IV
Apparent energy
Apparent energy is calculated for import and export. The direction is controlled by the sign for active power; apparent energy is registered for the direction that the active energy has during the same period. Apparent energy import: quadrant I and IV Apparent energy export: quadrant II and III
Power factor
pf ( L1) = P1 / S1 pf (Tot ) = P / S
The power factor is calculated without signs and is thus always positive.
Phase angle
( L1) = U 1 p I1 p
(Tot ) = arctan(P1 fund / Q1 fund )
Phase angle for an element is calculated from the fundamental phase angles.
Total phase angle is calculated from fundamental power. Phase angle values specified between 180 and 180.

Where I 1 I n are the currents harmonic components. The calculation is made in the same ways for current and voltage.
Transformer compensations
Instrument transformer compensations
Instrument transformer compensations are specified as error in percent for amplitude, and as error in minutes (one-sixtieth of a degree) for phase angle. These errors can be specified separately for all voltages and currents. AmpErr Amplitude error as percent
83

PhaseErr u meas u
Phase angle error in minutes Measured voltage Compensated voltage
Amplitude compensation
u = u meas /(1 + AmpErr )

Phase angle compensation
up = up meas PhaseErr In 3-element meters, phase voltages are compensated and in 2-element meters, phase to phase voltages. The same calculation is used for all currents and voltages.
Power transformer losses
Power transformer losses consist of copper and iron losses. They are expressed as percentages of nominal power. One value is specified for active loss and one for reactive.
Iron loss
FeLoss P1meas P1 Nom
Active iron loss as percent of nominal power. Measured power. Compensated power. Nominal power per phase
P1 = P1meas + FeLoss Nom

Copper loss
CuLoss i inom
Active copper loss as percent of nominal power. Phase current. Nominal current.
P1 = P1meas + (i / inom ) 2 CuLoss Nom Corresponding calculations made for active and reactive power.

Definition of phase order
Correct phase order (123) corresponds to phase position:
U1 p
Phase position for U1
U 1 p = 0 U 2 p = 120 U 3 p = 120 The same system is represented graphically below. The vectors rotate in an anti-clockwise direction.
