Product Information

Full details

This Schneider Electric power meter (A9MEM2050) is designed for commercial and industrial applications requiring basic energy monitoring. Its key benefit is providing accurate measurements of active/reactive power, energy, voltage, and current via an easy-to-read LCD display and Modbus communication. A caveat to consider is its suitability for direct measurement up to 45A, necessitating external current transformers for higher loads.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum current the A9MEM2050 can measure directly?

The meter can measure up to 45A directly. For currents exceeding 45A, external current transformers (CTs) are required.

What communication protocol does this meter use?

It uses the Modbus RTU communication protocol via an RS485 interface.

Can this meter be used for multi-tariff billing?

Yes, it supports two-tariff systems when controlled externally.

What is the accuracy class for active energy measurement?

The meter has an accuracy class of 1 for active energy measurement, compliant with IEC 62053-21.

What is the operating temperature range for this meter?

The meter can operate in ambient air temperatures ranging from -25 to 70 °C.

How is the meter protected against environmental factors?

It has an IP51 degree of protection, indicating it is protected against dust ingress and vertically falling water drops.

What is the physical size and mounting method?

The meter is designed for DIN-rail mounting, with a width of 17.5 mm, a depth of 63 mm, and a height of 90 mm.

Troubleshooting

Display is blank or shows no readings.

Verify that the power supply (230VAC) is correctly connected to the voltage input terminals and that the circuit breaker is active. Check the operating voltage range (96-276VAC).

Inaccurate energy readings.

Ensure the meter is correctly wired for the current being measured. If measuring above 45A, confirm that external CTs are properly installed and compatible. Check if the meter is operating within its specified voltage and frequency range. Verify Class 1 accuracy compliance.

Modbus communication is not working.

Double-check the RS485 A and B wiring connections. Confirm the correct Modbus address and baud rate are configured on both the meter and the master device. Ensure the communication protocol settings match.

Meter not switching between tariffs.

Verify that the external control signal for tariff switching is correctly connected and functioning. Ensure the meter is configured to accept this external control for dual-tariff operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact and easy to mount on DIN-rail.
  • Provides essential electrical parameters on a clear LCD display.
  • Integrated Modbus RTU for system integration.
  • Accurate energy measurement compliant with IEC standards.
  • Supports external control for dual-tariff billing.

Cons

  • Direct current measurement limited to 45A; requires external transformers for higher loads.
  • Basic monitoring capabilities; not suitable for advanced power quality analysis.
  • Requires external control for dual-tariff functionality.
  • Modbus RTU requires specific configuration and compatible master device.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mount the meter securely on a standard DIN-rail (35mm).
  2. Connect the voltage supply (230VAC nominal, 96-276VAC range) to the appropriate terminals (L-N).
  3. Connect the current input according to the wiring diagram for direct measurement up to 45A. For higher currents, ensure proper installation of compatible external Current Transformers (CTs) and connection to the meter's current input terminals.
  4. For Modbus communication, connect the RS485 A and B terminals to your communication network.
  5. Configure Modbus address and baud rate if necessary using the LCD interface.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard 230VAC, 50/60Hz single-phase power networks.
  • Modbus RTU interface allows integration with most industrial automation systems, PLCs, and SCADA software that support this protocol.
  • Requires external control signal for two-tariff operation.

Care:

  • Keep the meter clean and free from dust and moisture. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid solvents.
  • Ensure proper ventilation around the meter to prevent overheating.
  • Periodically check connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
