Acrel AMC16-DE6 6 channels DC power meter Din Rail DC energy meter

AMC16-DE6 Is an economical and practical multi-channel DC current measuring device. Which collect, monitoring and control the DC current.

Electrical parameter measuring

6 channels voltage, current, active power, active energy.

Switch State

6 channels DI, 1 channel DO

parameter checking

Press“←” to inquire as per group

the group is distinguished as per the items

V-voltage, A-current, Kw-active power, Kwh-active energy, switch-“-”open,“r”close

Press“→” to inquire as per phase

L1,L2,L3,L4,L5,L6 represents channel 1-6;

Current, power shows the primary value, energy shows the primary value, and shows the high and low level. When A, Kw, Kwh indicators are all on, means energy is in high level. V, A, Kwh represents energy low level.

i.e. inquires 1 channel energy H1234kWh,L 56.78kWh,this value means 123456.78kWh;

When the energy is larger than 999999.99kwh, it reserve one decimal.

parameter setting

press“PROG”->pass->press“Enter”->insert pass word->IE(primary current/1 channel->6 channel)->addr(address setting)->baud(baud setting)->codE(password setting)->clr.E(Power reset)->zEro(zero calibration)->“PROG”withdraw ->savE(press“Enter”save the setting/press“PROG”cancel the setting)

 Press “←/→” to modify the value,“→”to change the menu.

 In zEro item, press”←”and Enter can process the zero calibration,select yEs or no.

installation

notice

The device should be installed in a dry, clean place away from heat source and strong electromagnetic field

When the hall sensor goes through the heart, pay attention to the current direction, otherwise the measurement will be inaccurate

The current input must use hall sensor, and the current value of each circuit can be set separately

If it is not necessary to detect the switching state, only 1-channel voltage signal can be connected to terminal 10 and 11, that is, the 1-channel voltage

Communication cables shall be shielded twisted pair

Note whether the hall sensor is matched with the required input signal of the device (the hall sensor output is required to be 0-5v).

If the device is used to power multiple hall sensors, the phenomenon of on-load and on-off may occur. At this time, an external power supply should be used to power the hall sensor, and GND terminal on the device should be connected to the external power supply

Analysis of common faults and causes

The measurement of the device is not accurate

Check whether the positive and negative terminals of the voltage are correct

Is the current passing through the hall sensor in the right direction

Check whether the IE setting of the device is consistent with the hall sensor used

Whether the output signal of hall sensor matches the required input signal of the device;

Check whether the output negative pole of the voltage output hall sensor is connected to the device GND 

Abnormal communication

Check whether the communication cable is connected normally

Check whether the A and B terminals of communication are staggered

Check whether the device address is set correctly and the communication baud rate is set correctly

Multi - device communication is not normal, first try the single communication, to see if it is normal.

The device does not display properly

Check whether it is caused by the insufficient carrying capacity of the built-in power supply to the hall sensor. Replace the external switching power supply to power hall
