Introduction
There are two meters in the MD-xxHD Series: the MD-12HD and the MD-48HD. These meters monitor
the voltage, current, power, energy, and many other electrical parameters on single and three-phase
electrical systems. A MD-xxHD meter uses direct connections to each phase of the voltage and current
transformers to monitor each phase of the current. Information on energy use, demand, power factor, line
frequency, and more are derived from these voltage and current inputs.
The MD-xxHD meter is not meant to be a standalone energy recorder; rather it is connected as a slave
device to a data logger, Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), or Building Management host network. The
MD-xxHD meter communication interfaces include Ethernet (LAN) or RS-485 serial. BACnet MS/TP and
Modbus RTU are the two communication protocols that operate over an RS-485 serial network and
BACnet IP and Modbus TCP are supported over Ethernet. A USB port is also provided as the preferred
connection for on-site configuration and can be run concurrently with an RTU.
Unpacking the Unit
The MD-xxHD can be ordered with optional product features which are identifiable on the part number
