Overview

1. Function Description
2. Important Technical Specifications
3. Usage Features
4. Maintenance Features

The Rayleigh Instruments RI-F300 is a three-phase energy meter designed for monitoring electrical parameters in various environments. It features a liquid crystal display with a backlight, showing 4 lines of 4 digits for electrical parameters and a 5th line of 8 digits for energy, accompanied by a bar graph for current indication as a percentage of the CT rating. The device is housed in a 96mm x 96mm enclosure and is suitable for panel mounting.

Function Description

The RI-F300 measures and displays a wide range of electrical parameters, including line-to-neutral and line-to-line voltages, phase currents, neutral current, power factor, active power, reactive power, apparent power, frequency, and harmonics. It also tracks energy consumption (import and export active, reactive, and apparent energy) and run hours. The meter supports demand interval measurements for active, reactive, and apparent power, with configurable demand interval methods (sliding or fixed) and durations.

The device offers extensive programming capabilities through a dedicated menu, allowing users to configure network selection (3P4W, 1P2W-P1), CT and PT ratios, slave ID for communication, baud rate, parity, stop bits, backlight duration, page sequences for display, pulse resolution and duration, and to perform factory defaults or reset energy and maximum demand parameters.

Usage Features

The RI-F300 offers a user-friendly interface with 6 dedicated keys for navigation and parameter viewing. The display can be set to automatic or manual scrolling for different pages of parameters. The meter provides detailed online pages for viewing various measurements, including voltage, current, power factor, and energy readings for each phase and total. It also displays maximum and minimum demand values for power.

For MID approval, specific installation steps must be followed: the CT ratio must be set before service, and the RJ45 connection between the meter and the current transformer must be sealed. A configuration lock feature restricts parameter adjustments after 15 minutes in programming mode, preventing unauthorized changes.

The device supports Modbus RTU communication over RS485, allowing integration into larger monitoring systems. It can be daisy-chained with up to 31 additional meters for voltage output.

Maintenance Features

The manual emphasizes safety precautions, stating that only competent personnel should install the device. Users are advised to isolate the power supply before any work, confirm absence of supply, and ensure correct wiring. The equipment should not be used if mechanically damaged or supplied with incorrect voltage. Repairs, maintenance, or adjustments by the user are not permitted.

The device is designed for installation in Mechanical Environment 'M1' (low shock and vibration) and Electromagnetic Environment 'E2'. Wiring guidelines specify cable cross-sections (0.5mm² to 2.5mm²), copper cable usage, and adherence to local standards.

The meter includes a feature to reset maximum demand and energy parameters, protected by a password. It also allows for resetting the run hour. The device identification, including CRC, hardware/software version, and serial number, can be accessed through a specific key sequence for diagnostic purposes.
