1.   Safety Information 
Comply with ESD protection measures.  
Avoid short-circuits on the PCB. 
When connecting, turn off the mains supply. 
Route connecting cables only through the bush 
sleeves of the meter. 
Do not cut the bush sleeves shorter than necessary 
because this may lower the degree of protection.  
2.  Description of function 
WZU-485E-MOD is an add-on communication module for the 
following  types  of  meters:  T550  (UH50…)  (firmware  5.15  and 
higher) and T550 (UC50…).  
The module is intended and preconfigured for data transmis-
sion using the Modbus RTU protocol on RS485. 
 
 
Note: An external power pack must power the module 
(not included in the module’s scope of delivery).

Note:  WZU-485E-MOD  may  only  be  combined  with 
an M-Bus module in slot “module 2”. Only one of them 
may  be  operated  in  fast  read-out  mode  with an  up-
date interval shorter than 15 min. 
Installing the communication module 
The communication modules are connected via a 6-pole reac-
tion-free connector so that installation or replacement is possi-
ble at any time. 
To install a communication module proceed as follows: 
  Press the 4 side lugs of the housing cover inwards and 
remove the cover. 
  Put the communication module into the correct position. 
Note:  The  module  WZU-485E-MOD  may  only  be 
fitted at slot “module 1”. 
  Place the communication module carefully in both guide 
slots and push it in. 
  Wait for the module indication on the meter display (Loop 4: 
“Modul1 MI / G4”). 
  To connect the power supply and the communication cable 
of WZU-485E-MOD, open 2 sleeves matching the cross 
section of the respective cables. 
Note: Open the cable sleeves in such a way that they 
enclose the cable tightly. 
  Guide cables through the bush sleeves from the outside. 
  Connect the the power supply to terminals 24V and GND, 
and the communication cable to terminals A+ and B-. 
Note: For the connection to the screw terminal, a slot 
screwdriver with 2.5 mm tip is needed. 
Attention: Connecting the power supply to terminals 
A and B can cause permanent damage to the module.  
  Insert the screw connector into its counterpart on the com-
munication module. 
  Secure the cables with the metal strain relief. 
Note: The jumper bridge must not be inserted during 
operation.
