3.1 Mounting the Meter  
General  
This section describes different ways to mount the C13 meter. For some methods  
of mounting, additional accessories are needed. For further information about ac-  
cessories, refer to Main Catalog (2CMC481003C0201).  
DIN-rail mounted  
The C13 meters are intended to be mounted on a standard (DIN 50022) DIN-rail.  
If this method of mounting is used no extra accessories are needed and the meter  
is fastened on the rail by snapping the DIN-rail lock onto the rail.  
Wall mounted  
The recommended way to mount the meter on a wall is to mount a separate DIN-  
rail on the wall and then mount the meter on the rail.  
Standard DIN-rail  
The following picture shows a standard DIN-rail.

3.2 Environmental Considerations  
Ingress protection  
To comply with the protection requirements the product must be mounted in pro-  
tection class IP 51 enclosures, or better, according to IEC60259.  
Mechanical environment  
In accordance with the Measuring Directive (2014/32/EU), the product complies  
with M1, which means that it can be operated in “...locations with vibration and  
shocks of low significance, e.g. for instruments fastened to light suporting struc-  
tures subject to negligible vibrations and shocks transmitted from local blasting  
or pile-driving activities, slamming doors, etc.”  
Electromagnetic environment  
In accordance with the Measuring Directive (2014/32/EU), the product complies  
with E2, which means that it can be operated “...in locations with electro magnetic  
disturbances corresponding to those likely to be found in other industrial build-  
ings.”  
Climatic environment  
In order to work properly the product should not be operated outside the specified  
temperature range of -25°C – +70°C.  
In order to work properly the product should not exposed to humidity exceeding  
the specified 75% yearly average, 95% on 30 days/year.

3.3 Installing the Meter  
Warning – Electrical equipment should only be installed, accessed, serviced and  
maintained by qualified electrical personnel.  
E
E
E
Working with high voltage is potentially lethal. Persons subjected to high voltage may  
suffer cardiac arrest, burn injuries, or other severe injuries. To avoid such injuries,  
make sure to disconnect the power supply before you start the installation.  
Warning – For safety reasons it is recommended that the equipment is installed in a  
way that makes it impossible to reach or touch the terminal blocks by accident.  
The best way to make a safe installation is to install the unit in an enclosure. Further,  
access to the equipment should be limited through use of lock and key, controlled by  
qualified electrical personnel.  
Warning – The meters must always be protected by fuses on the incoming side.  
In order to allow for maintenance of transformer rated meters, it is recommended that  
there should be a short circuiting device installed near the meter.  
Installation  
To comply with the protection requirements the meter must be mounted in protec-  
tion class IP 51 enclosures, or better, according to IEC 60259.  
requirements  
Meters with wireless communication should not be installed closer than 20 cm  
from people.

Switch off the mains power.  
Place the meter on the DIN-rail and make sure it snaps onto it.  
Strip the cable insulation to the length that is indicated on the meter.  
Connect the cables according to the wiring diagram that is printed on the me-  
ter and tighten the screws (0.8 Nm).

Install the circuit protection (max 40 A).  
Connect the output to an external power supply (max 5–40 V). See the wiring  
diagram printed on the meter.

Turn on the mains power.  
Verify the  
The C13 meter has a red LED next to the push button on the front of the meter  
that flashes proportionally to the active energy. The LED has a fixed pulse fre-  
quency of 1000 imp/kWh and can be used to test and verify the installation. If the  
LED flashes when the mains power is turned on, the installation was successful.

to the max value allowed by the range.  
Example: Alarm current is set to 100.0 A by the user, but the max value is 40.0

Technical Description  
6.1 Energy Values  
General  
The energy values are stored in energy registers. The different energy registers  
can be divided into:  
• Registers containing active energy.  
The energy values can be read directly on the display by using the button on the  
meter.  
Presentation of  
register values  
In direct connected meters the energy is usually displayed with a fixed unit and  
number of decimals (normally kWh, with no decimals).  
In case the energy is displayed with fixed units and number of decimals the energy  
will “roll over” to zeros when the energy is increment ed if all nines are displayed.  
The meter can however contain more digits internally, which can be read out via  
communication if the meter is equipped with a communication interface.

6.3 Outputs  
About outputs  
The C13 meter has one output which can be used for three different purposes.  
When one of the three options has been choosen for the output, the remaining two  
options are automatically disabled.  
• Alarm monitoring  
The output is used for monitoring if an alarm has been triggered or not.  
• Static level  
The output is set as static, either as static on or static off.  
• Pulse output  
The output is set as a pulse output.  
On the pulse output the meter sends out a specified number of pulses (pulse fre-  
quency) per kilowatt hour (kilovar for reactive pulse outputs). The amount of  
pulses sent out are in proportion to the energy flowed through the meter.  
The meter has a pulse output frequency of 1000 imp/kWh and the pulse width is  
100 ms.

Technical Description  
6.4 Alarm  
General  
The purpose of the alarm function is to enable monitoring of quantities in the  
meter. Monitoring can be set to high or low level detection. High level detection  
gives an alarm when the level of a quantity goes above the set level. Low level  
detection gives an alarm when the value goes below the set level.  
Quantities  
Depending on the meter type all or a subset of the following quantities can be  
monitored:  
• Active power  
• Power factor  
• Current L  
Voltage L-N  
Functional  
description  
When the value of the monitored quantity passes the activation level, and remains  
there for a period of time equal or longer than the specified time delay, the alarm  
is activated. In the same way, the alarm is deactivated when the value passes the  
deactivation level and remains there for a time equal to or longer than the speci-  
fied time delay.  
If the activation level is higher than the deactivation level, the alarm is activated  
when the value of the monitored quantity is higher than the activation level.  
If the activation level is lower than the deactivation level, the alarm is activated  
when the vale of the monitored quantity is lower than the activation level.
