SDM54 series
Smart Three Phase Energy Meter
User Manual
2022 V1.0
Introduction
The SDM54 measures and displays the characteristics of single phase two wires (1p2w) and three phases four wires(3p4w) supplies, including voltage, frequency, current, power, power factor, active and reactive energy, imported or exported.
Energy is measured in terms of kWh and kVArh. Maximum demand on power and current can be measured over preset periods of up to 60 minutes. SDM54 supports max. 100A direct loads per phase, with dual tariff management availability. The meter is designed for DIN-rail mounting, with IP51 front protection. The meter is optionally equipped with pulse outputs, RS485 Modbus port or M-bus port. Configuration can also be done via keypad, which is password protected.
1.1 Unit Characteristics
The SDM54 Series are smart three-phase energy meters, covering 3 models with the following features and differences:
| Model | Measurements | Outputs | Tariff Control |
| SDM54–2T | kWh, kVarh, W, Var, VA, PF, Hz, V, | 2x Pulse outputs; RS485 Modbus | Double tariffs |
| SDM54-M | A Max.dmd. Etc. | 2x Pulse outputs; RS485 Modbus | Single tariff |
| SDM54-DI | kWh, kart, W, Var, VA, PF, Hz, V, | 2x Digital inputs; RS485 Modbus | Single tariff |
| SDM54-MB-2T | A Max.dmd. Etc. | 2x Pulse outputs; M-Bus | Double tariffs |
| SDM54-MB | kWh, kart, W, Var, VA, PF, Hz, V, | 2x Pulse outputs; M-Bus | Single tariff |
| SDM54-P | A Max.dmd. Etc. | 2x Pulse outputs | Single tariff |
1.2 RS485 Serial–Modbus RTU
The RS485 serial port with Modbus RTU protocol provides a means of remotely monitoring and controlling the unit. Set-up screens are provided for setting up the RS485 port. D/LT645 protocol is optionally available on request.
1.3 M-Bus
The M-Bus port complying with EN13757-3 protocol provides a means of remotely monitoring and controlling the meter. Set-up screens are provided for setting up the M-Bus port.
1.4 Pulse outputs
Two pulse outputs that clock up the measured active and reactive energy. The constant of pulse output 2 for active energy is 400imp/kWh (unconfigurable), its width is fixed at 100ms. The default constant of configurable pulse output 1 is 400imp/kWh, the default pulse width is 100ms. The configurable pulse output 1 can be set from the set-up menu.
1.5 Double Tariffs
The meter has double tariffs function for cost allocation management. There are two terminals to monitor voltage input from external devices. Once there are voltage detected within 230V (80~120%), the energy will be counted in another register.
