Vector summation Individually import/export Total summation
Figure 3: The three different calculation methods.
When using vector summation, the positive contributions are added and the negative contributions are
substracted in the same way as by electromechanical meters. Contributions from e.g. solar energy installations
will be set off in the total energy calculation. This calculation method is sensitive to incorrect installation and
manipulation.
Individually import/export calculation method has one register for the positive contributions and one for the
negative contributions.
Kamstrups 162M and 382M supports the individually import/export calculation method.
Note!
Total summation adds all contributions to the positive register whether one or all are negative. Kamstrup
Generation M meters doesn’t support this calculation method for the main energy registration, but have a
additional register for this called “A1423”.
3.2.3 Verification registers
For test purposes, the 4 main energy registers (A+, A-, R+, R-) can be displayed with higher resolution in format 3.4
(000.0000).
For test purpose it is possible to activate test mode. Test mode change the display setup to allow selection of
energy registers A+, A-, R+ and R- depending on the meter by activating the left push button. In test mode, the LED
blinks proportionally to the chosen energy type.
The meter changes automatically from test mode to normal mode 16 hours after the latest activation of the push
button, or if the meter is reset. METERTOOL can also be used for changing back to normal mode.
Finally, 6 seconds activation of the left push button can provoke a change to normal mode.
3.2.4 Resettable counter registers
The consumer can use a specific register (resettable counter) for monitoring the consumption in a given period,
e.g. every day or weekly.
In addition, the consumer can use another register (resettable counter) for monitoring the electricity production
that the consumer has delivered to the electricity grid, e.g. from a solar cell installation.
The resettable counters count with the same resolution as the main energy registers of the meter, but can be reset
by activating the push button for 6 seconds at the same time as the resettable counter reading is displayed.
No register values in the meter will decrease due to inverse current
flow, no matter of meter configuration.
