Details the IC 970 as the latest meter in the IC 900 series, emphasizing user-friendliness and advanced features for easy installation and programming.
Describes the two optically isolated volt-free relay outputs for kWh and kVah, highlighting programmability for pulse value and contact closure time.
Explains the optional communication module for enhanced information transfer to a BMS system and protocol set-up viewing on the IC 970 display.
Specifies the ideal environment for mounting IC 900 series meters, emphasizing dry, dirt-free conditions away from heat and high electric fields, with temperature limits.
Details the requirement for a competent electrician and panel mounting, including the necessary aperture size for fitting the IC 970 meter housing.
Outlines the standard 3-phase 4-wire power supply for IC 900 series meters, specifying 230 volts AC on terminals L3 and neutral.
Recommends 2.5mm flexible stranded cable for main connections and twisted shielded cable for low voltage communication, stressing phasing and polarity importance.
Provides a detailed wiring diagram for the IC 970, illustrating mains connections, communication socket, optional neutral current transformer, and binary switch positions.
Instructions on locating and setting the two red binary switches (switch 8 'on') to enter programming mode for CT and neutral current transformer ratios.
Step-by-step guide to reset the maximum demand feature using the function key, inputting code 12, and pressing enter to revert values to zero.
Procedure for entering the CT and NT primary values using the keypad, requiring switch 8 to be 'on' to access the ratio programming screen.
Instructions for changing the pulse output value for kWh, offering selectable options (0.1, 0.5, 1, 10) via keypad input with switch 8 'on'.
Guide to adjust the pulse closure time for relays, with options from 20ms to 300ms, using switch 8 'on' to access the pulse time programming.
Procedure to modify the display contrast using the 'Energy Imp' and 'Energy Exp' keys, accessed via switch 8 'on' for code 30.
Instructions for setting the backlight duration, allowing a maximum of 99 minutes, by accessing code 31 with switch 8 'on'.
Diagnostic function to verify electrical connections, displaying status for voltage and current inputs, and identifying potential errors like 'EXP' or 'LOW'.
Enables testing of relay functionality by activating pulse output every second, accessed via code 51 with switch 8 'on'.
Displays the current status ('on' or 'off') of individual binary switches (SW1, SW2) used for configuration, accessed via code 52.
Describes the meter's 4-line, 20-character display, membrane keypad with 15 sealed keys, and the function of the Information and Function keys.
Illustrates various screens showing Voltage, Frequency, Amps, Actual Demand, Power Factor, Maximum Demand, and instantaneous/min/max values.
Explains how to cycle through various information displays (1-10) using the 'INFORM' key, especially when a communication module is fitted.
Details the programming of communication protocols using binary switches marked 'ADDR' and 'FUNC' to set the meter's address and other parameters.
Defines how the 'FUNC' binary switches configure Modbus settings like Baud Rate, Wire Mode, Parity Type, Data Format, and Floating Point Format.
Provides guidelines for making RS 485 connections using screened twisted pair cable, including wiring diagrams and cautionary notes on shield earthing.
Offers guidance on selecting appropriate current transformers (CTs) based on power feed ratings, emphasizing accuracy and burden rating considerations.
Lists key technical specifications including meter standard, accuracy, voltage, current ratings, frequency, and power consumption details.
Details the meter's relay outputs (pulse duration, value) and default communication module settings (Modbus, Baud Rate, Wire Mode, Parity Type).
Defines Measurement Category CATIII and explains the Double Insulation Symbol, indicating basic and supplementary insulation for shock protection.
Lists standard functions available, including Min/Max value resets, CT/NT ratio setting, pulse value/duration, display contrast, and connection details.
Provides the physical dimensions of the meter unit (W96mm x H96mm x D89mm) and its weight, including the communication module.
Recommends fitting a shorting block for safe servicing and ensuring a suitable isolator is used for disconnecting supply to the meter.
Highlights the company's commitment to customer service, supported by trained staff, computerised systems, and efficient stock management for prompt despatch.
Describes the company's product range and confirms the IC 970 meets EMC requirements as per BS EN 61326 standards.
