1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing the CewePrometer.
The CewePrometer is a multi-functional, electronic, electricity energy meter. It provides very high accuracy in
measuring electrical energy and also in measuring instantaneous quantities such as current, voltage, power,
frequency etc. CewePrometers extensive configurable functional features together with the high accuracy
enable application areas more numerous than for traditional electric meters. Besides having well-designed
traditional features such as meter registers, data logging and tariff capability, there are also extensive functions
for monitoring alarm conditions, harmonics, measuring sags and swells and other power quality quantities.
1.1
About this user manual
This user manual describes the CewePrometers functions and provides the information needed to configure
and use the meter. The manual covers all versions of the CewePrometer-R (rack-mounted) and CewePrometerW (wall-mounted). Some of the described functional properties can be missing in certain meter versions. The
CewePrometer is complemented with CeweConfig, a PC program for configuring, manual reading and
maintenance.

Display
Optical communication port

The optical port communicates in accordance with IEC62056-21/IEC1107.
Alarm LED
The alarm LED flashes when an alarm state has occurred. For alarms, such as for high
or low voltage, phase balance or similar external errors, the LED stops flashing when
the alarm state has passed. If the meter has had an internal error, the alarm must be
acknowledged and manually reset.
Calibration LED for active energy

The LED is the source of the energy signal for accuracy testing of active energy. The
light pulses have a 50% pulse width and a frequency proportional to the measured
active power. A constant that specifies the total number of pulses per kWh can be
configured. The same constant applies to active and reactive energy.
Auxiliary power LED

When the CewePrometer is receiving auxiliary power, the green LED turns on to
indicate that the meter's power supply is working.
Sealing points for terminal cover

The terminal cover can be sealed with lead seals (or comparable seals) and sealing
wire through the sealing points.
Terminal cover
Sealing points for front panel window

The front panel exterior window can be sealed with lead seals (or comparable seals)
and sealing wire through the sealing points. The seal prevents access to the fourth

Connector for CewePrometer-R
A standardised Entrelec Essailec plug-in connector is used, of the same type as for other meters according to
standard DIN 43862. The cable connection is made in the subrack. The meter is connected via the contact pins
after insertion. The connector has a short-circuit protection feature for electrical circuits, permitting the meter to
be withdrawn and inserted into the subrack during operation.
2.3.2
Auxiliary power
The CewePrometer is supplied with separate auxiliary power. Auxiliary power can be supplied both with
alternating current and polarity-independent direct current within a specified range. Auxiliary power can be self
powered (internal), CewePrometer-R can also be configured with dual auxiliary.
2.3.3
Digital outputs
The CewePrometer's outputs are solid-state MOS-FET bipolar semiconductor relays, with normally open
contact function. Internal current limit protects the relay from being damaged by excessively high current.
Page 10 of 80
Public
2.3.4
Digital inputs
The optically isolated digital inputs consist of opto couplers, where the LED is powered from an external voltage
signal through series resistance to limit the current. This means that an external voltage must be connected
between the passive pulse and level transmitter and the opto coupler's LED, or the transmitter must deliver an
active voltage signal to send pulses that are detected by the optical input. The optically isolated inputs are
unaffected by reverse polarity. Both DC and 50/60 Hz AC can be used.
2.3.5
Communication ports {Ethernet (IP), Serial (RS232, RS422, RS485)}
The CewePrometer is equipped with one optical port and up to two additional communication ports, Ethernet or
serial (RS232 or RS422. RS422 can also be used as RS485)
Communications through the infrared IEC62056-21/IEC1107 optical port are transferred via an optical
read/write adapter, an optical head. The optical head is positioned and secured over the optical port
by a magnet on the head and a steel plate around the opening of the optical port.
The RS232 standard communication port is used to connect communication equipment (computers,
modems) through a serial cable with a standard D-sub, 9-pin connector.
The RS422 serial communication port is intended to be used to connect the CewePrometer to a
network for multi-drop communications. The CewePrometer is connected to the communication
equipment (RS422 converter) with two twisted-pair wires connected to a 5-pole connector. The
RS422 port can also be used for single twisted-pair RS485 bus.
The Ethernet communication port is used to connect to the meter over TCP/IP based network.
For information on pin configuration, see Appendix C - Communication Ports (pg.61).

2.4.1
Enclosure and protective earth
CewePrometer-W
The enclosure consists of a meter base, meter cover, terminal cover and a plastic exterior window. The meter is
not connected with protective earth. There is also an optional 19 inch rack/panel mounting kit available for to
CewPrometer-W to be mounted side by side.
CewePrometer-R
Enclosure fits for installation of two meters in a 19" subrack in compliance with DIN438862. The enclosure
consists of a box made of surface-finished steel sheet and a front with a plastic window. The meter is designed
for protective earthing through the 19" subrack.
2.4.2
Isolation and personal safety
The electronic circuits are isolated from all connections to the supply mains with transformers. Digital I/O
connections are isolated with opto couplers and solid state relays. The communication ports are also isolated
but for a lower voltage.

2.5.1
Function modules
Modulisation
The CewePrometer is made up of function modules. Modulisation is primarily used to make it easy to produce
different versions with the same basic design, and to enable development of new modules for the basic design
to add or replace functions. Modulisation is not primarily intended for being able to switch plug-in modules in the
field the meter must be opened and the seals broken to switch modules.
2.5.2
Modules
The CewePrometer consists of the following basic modules, which are necessary for a functioning meter in its
simplest version:
Measurement module
Power module
Display and register module
Moreover, the meter is normally equipped with the following modules for additional functionality:
Digital I/O module
Communication module
There is also space for additional function modules for expansion of function properties to meet future market
needs.
For more information, see Appendix D Module Block Diagram (pg.66).
2.6
Measuring principles
The measuring circuit in CewePrometer consists of current and voltage transformers that provide signals to six
parallel AD converters (analogue to digital converters) that are synchronised by a common clock signal. The
digital signals are thereafter processed by a DSP. Using voltage transformers makes the electronics in the
meter galvanically isolated from the measurement voltage, which provides good personal safety and protection
for connected equipment, such as modems.
2.6.1
Calculation flow
All values are calculated in the CewePrometer based on calibrated current and voltage values. Current and
voltage amplitudes and phase angles are fully compensated in regards to accuracy, harmonics, frequency and
temperature. Adjustments for accuracy are made throughout the dynamic range for both voltage and current.
Based on these individually compensated current and voltage signals, power, energy, power factor and all other
quantities that the CewePrometer can present, are subsequently calculated. This means that accuracy for
instant values is good and that active and reactive power are correctly calculated, including harmonic power.
For more information on calculation principles and the formulas used, see Appendix F Calculation Principles
(pg. 69).
2.6.2
3-element meter
On the 3-element CewePrometer, phase voltages and neutral wires are connected to the meter. The voltages
measured are phase voltages. Power and energy are calculated from three phase voltages and three currents.
Harmonic measurement, alarm monitoring and transformer corrections are made on phase voltages. The line to
line voltage is calculated from the phase voltages.
2.6.3
2-element meter
On the 2-element CewePrometer, the neutral conductor is not connected to the meter and the three voltages
are internally D-connected. The voltages measured are subsequently line to line voltages. Power and energy
are calculated based on two line to line voltages (U12 and U23) and two currents (I1 and I3) according to the 2watt meter method. The 2-element meter is primarily used for D-connected systems (3-wire). Harmonic
measurement, alarm monitoring and transformer corrections are made on line to line voltages.

Connecting to CewePrometer
To be able to configure or read values in the CewePrometer, CeweConfig must be connected and have
authorisation to access the meter. The meter has five different authorisation levels that can be configured with
passwords. See the section Communications and security (pg. 32). With the meter's usual factory settings, no
password is configured, and subsequently no password is necessary when you connect.
To communicate with a meter, the PC must be physically connected to the CewePrometer in one of the
following ways:
PC Optical head Meter
PC Crossed serial cable (null modem) Meter
PC Straight serial cable RS422 converter Daisy chained meters
PC straight serial cable RS485 converter Daisy chained Meters

PC Modem Modem Meter

PC Ethernet (straight) Meter
How to connect to the meter

1. Connect to Meter
Choose Connect to Meter from the File menu or by clicking the toolbar button.
2. Communication channel
Click the Settings tab and choose either, Optical Port, Serial Port (RS232/RS422), Serial Port (RS485) or
Modem. If the serial port or a modem is used, the baud rate must be selected. For meters with factory settings,
the baud rate is 9600. When the optical port is used, CeweConfig adapts itself to the baud rate the meter is
configured for, making selection of the baud rate unnecessary.
Note: The selectable communication ports can be changed by changing the XML file Settings.xml that is in
CeweConfig's installation directory.
3. Serial Port (RS485)
If a connection over RS485 uses a RS485 converter relying on the RTS signal for switching between transmit
and receive, an RTS off delay may have to be defined. The time is given in milliseconds, and defines for how
long the converted data is kept in transmit mode after last character has been sent on the communication port.
Time may vary depending on PC performance and baud rate. Typical time is 20 ms for 9600 baud.
4. Modem
If a modem connection is used, a modem must be chosen. The modems available are those installed in
Windows. Click the Common tab and enter the telephone number to be called.
5. Password
Click the Common tab. A password is entered if one is configured in the meter. With the meter's factory
settings, no password is configured, and subsequently no password is necessary when you connect.
6. Serial number
Serial number is only required if a special meter is to be addressed when several meters are connected
together with RS422.
7. Trace to file
Public
Page 17 of 80
Under the Settings tab, a box can be checked to activate tracing to a file. A file named SerialTrace.log is then
created in CeweConfig's installation directory. All communications between CeweConfig and the meter are
presented in the file. The function can be used to analyse communication problems.
8.
Click the Connect button.
Note: For Ethernet communication, the Serial Port (RS232/RS422) option should be selected.
3.1.1
Problems with connecting
If the meter cannot be connected, an error message is displayed. Depending on the reason, the message can
suggest corrective actions, such as changing the port or port baud rate.
Tip: When communication problems occur, the trace feature on the meter's display can be used to see if that
which has been sent has been registered by the meter. See the section Using the display for communication
diagnostics (pg.49).
3.2
Basic configuration
Some basic settings may be required before the CewePrometer will be able to measure and operate correctly in
a system.
Note: Settings are only necessary if they have not been made at the factory prior to delivery.
Meters supplied without backup batteries retain the time setting for a maximum of three days. For timedependent functions such as logging and event logging to work, the clock may need to be adjusted.
To change the configuration for a meter, you must be connected to it. Click the Configuration folder in the
structure tree to the left in CeweConfig to display the various functions that can be configured. For more
information see the section Changing configuration (pg. 20).
Tip: You can save a configuration from a meter to a file. A summary of the configuration can also be printed out.
You can also create a configuration without being connected to a meter. For more information, see Working with
configurations (pg.21).
Meter clock: To configure the meter clock, choose the node Meter Configuration - Clock in the
structure tree. Find out how the meter clock works and how it can be configured in the section Meter
clock (pg. 25).

Public
Transformer ratios: For the meter to measure accurately, the ratios must be correct. To configure the
transformer ratio in CeweConfig, choose the node Meter Configuration Measuring in the structure
tree. Click the General tab in the window that opens. Fill in the primary and secondary values for
current and voltage.
Note 1: The values you choose as primary and secondary values will be considered as the nominal
values. These nominal values are used by several functions in the meter: alarms, voltage monitoring
and transformer compensation.
Any change to measuring configuration is logged in the configuration log (see section Configuration
log).
Presentation format for energy registers: To configure the presentation format for energy registers,
choose the node Meter Configuration Measuring in the structure tree. Choose the prefix and
number of decimals for energy registers. Based on the nominal values, a capacity is calculated for how
long the meter can measure without registers resetting. Read about energy registers in the section
Energy registers (pg. 26).
Pulse constants for pulse outputs (Digital I/O): To configure pulse constants for pulse outputs in
CeweConfig, choose the node Meter Configuration Digital I/O in the structure tree. Find out how
Digital I/O works and how it can be configured in the section Digital inputs and outputs (pg. 29).
Display sequences: To configure display sequences in CeweConfig, choose the node Meter
Configuration Display sequences in the structure tree. Find out how display sequences work and
how they can be configured in the section Display sequences (pg. 32).

configuration to a 3-element meter or vice versa. Transformer corrections or passwords are not saved in
configuration files. On the File menu, there is a command for creating a configuration summary. Below is a list
of how you can use CeweConfig's functions to work with configurations.
Creating a configuration file without being connected to a meter
Choose New configuration when CeweConfig is not connected to create a configuration file offline.
The configuration file can be either of the 2- or 3-element type. Make all settings that are to be included
in the configuration file and save the file. The file's configuration can later be transferred to a meter.
Saving a meter's configuration to a file
Choose Save configuration when CeweConfig is connected to a meter to save the meter's
configuration to a file. The configuration file can later be used as a backup or be transferred to another
meter.
Transferring a configuration file to a meter
Choose Open configuration when CeweConfig is connected to a meter to transfer a configuration file
to the meter. The changes in configuration cause a dialog to open. The dialog shows all parameters
that can be updated in the meter. You can select some parameters which will not be updated, e.g.
transformer ratio, that might be specific for each meter. If you want an exact copy, all parameters must
be selected

Printing out a summary of a meter's configuration

Choose View configuration Configuration summary when CeweConfig is connected to a meter to
create a summary of the meter's entire configuration. Now choose Print.
Printing out a summary of a configuration file
Open a configuration file and choose View Configuration summary to create a summary of the
configuration that is in the file. Now choose Print.
Note: Choosing New configuration or Open configuration when CeweConfig is connected to a meter opens a
warning dialog box with the message that the configuration in the meter will be written over if you continue.
3.6
Reading
If you are connected to a CewePrometer with an authorisation level between 1 and 5, several alternatives will
be available in the structure tree under the node Reading. For the alternatives Instant Values and Time,
displayed values are constantly updated. The others are only updated when the window is opened or when the
Update button is clicked. Read values can be printed out and often also saved to files, this can be done with the
help of Print and Save buttons.

3.7
Information about the meter
Information about the connected meter can be obtained by choosing View Information about the meter.
Some of the information displayed is the same as what appears on the meter plate. Additionally, there is
information on when the meter was manufactured and when the most recent configuration change was made.
Under the Modules heading, the firmware currently used in the meter is listed. See the section Updating
firmware (pg. 23).
3.8
Versions and version conflicts
The latest version of CeweConfig can be used with all firmware versions of CewePrometer-R/W. The version
number for CeweConfig is displayed on the application's title bar or under About on the Help menu. The
version number for the meter's firmware can be viewed under View information about the meter on the View
menu.
CewePrometer and CeweConfig have three-digit version numbers according to the format main version.subversion.build number. As long as the main version and sub-version are the same, CeweConfig and the meter
are compatible. If the meter is of a newer version than CeweConfig and the main version and/or sub-version are
different, CeweConfig will display a message that connection is not possible. CeweConfig must be updated.
3.9
Updating firmware
CewePrometer is designed with a number of modules that each have their own processors and their own
firmware. The module firmware is distributed in a package file (.pkg) which is transferred to the meter using
CeweConfig. Newly developed and improved functions can thus be added in a meter that lacked these functions
when delivered.
Note: Be sure to update CeweConfig to the latest version before updating the meter. There is otherwise the risk
that CeweConfig will no longer be version-compliant after firmware updating.
Public
Page 23 of 80
On the Tools menu, there is an Update firmware command when the meter is connected with authorisation
level 4 or higher. Begin by choosing the file that contains the update. The file name and version number will
then be displayed, and sometimes a message. Click the Advanced button to view CeweConfig's version
number by module for both the file and the meter. Additionally, you can force modules to be updated even if the
file has the same version number. Click Update to begin updating.
During the time the update is being installed, the meter stops measuring and registering energy. Depending on
the size of the file to be transferred and the baud rate, the time for updating can vary from a few minutes to a
half hour at the highest baud rate. If possible, connect at the highest baud rate (19200 bps) to speed updating.
After updating, the meter is restarted to complete installation of the meter's new firmware.
Updating can be performed via a modem but this should be avoided since reliability for this method of
communication is too low. An interrupted update can leave a meter with incomplete firmware that cannot
measure at all. If an update via a modem has failed, the next update must be made via RS232/422 or the optical
head.
3.9.1
Restrictions
Firmware updates can only be made to a firmware version with the same major version number as the firmware
present in the meter. Example: It is not possible to update from 2.1.0 to 3.0.0. It is possible to update from 2.0.1
to 2.1.0.
3.10 Language
CeweConfig can be set to different languages. The available languages can be seen under Language on the
View menu.
3.11 Resetting registers and logs

CewePrometer's various registers and log data can be reset with CeweConfig if a meter is connected and you
are connected with a sufficiently high authorisation level. You will find a number of choices under Reset on the
Tools menu. Some options may be marked in grey if your authorisation level is not high enough. To reset
energy registers, authorisation level 5 is required, and level 3 for other options. A warning dialog box opens
before resetting.

4 Functions
4.1
Meter clock
The CewePrometer has an integrated real-time clock for time-dependent functions. Information about time
adjustment and daylight saving time status is recorded with tags on the logged values; see Loggers (pg.34).
Time adjustments are also noted as an event in the event log; see Appendix B - Events and Configuration Log
(pg.58).
4.1.1
Instantaneous adjustment
The meters date and time can be set to an absolute point in time. Instantaneous adjustment of the meters time
can influence logged values. To avoid this, the meter's log memory is reset when doing instantaneous
adjustment. For this reason, instantaneous adjustment of the meter clock is primarily intended for use at initial
configuration of the meter.
4.1.2
Sliding adjustment
The meters time can be adjusted successively. Instead of the meter adjusting the clock instantaneously, the
total adjustment is spread out over a longer period. A speed of adjustment can be chosen in the 140% range.
With 40%-adjustment, the clock is adjusted 24 seconds for each minute until the total adjustment has been
made.
4.1.3
Daylight saving time
CewePrometer offers the alternative of letting the meter clock follow daylight savings time. At a specified date,
the meter clock is adjusted forward, and at another, adjusted backward. CewePrometer can store ten (10) years
of DST configuration.
Example: On 28 March the clock is to be adjusted forward, from 02:00 to 03:00. The adjustment back to
standard time is to occur on 31 October at 3:00 (daylight savings time) when the clock is to be set back to
02:00. The following is set in the meters: Begin March, 28, 02:00. End October, 31, 03:00 and the standard time
is to be adjusted by 60 minutes.
4.1.4
External synchronisation
The meter time can be adjusted by a pulse on one of the meters digital inputs. When a pulse is registered, the
clock is adjusted to the closest multiple of a specified synchronisation interval. If the synchronisation interval is,
for example, one hour and the time is 13:29, a pulse will adjust the clock to 13:00. If the time had instead been
13:31, the clock would have been adjusted to 14:00. Synchronisation is made by sliding the time 30% (18s per
minute).
Available synchronisation intervals are:
10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes
1 hour
Times 12:00 and 00:00
Time 00:00
Besides specifying that the meter clock will synchronise via external pulses, a digital input must also be
configured for clock synchronisation; see the section Digital inputs and outputs (pg. 29).
4.1.4.1
Battery monitoring
The battery is used to backup the real time clock. The battery monitoring function estimates the time left of the
battery. At installation of a battery the monitoring function must be restarted via CeweConfig.
Public
Page 25 of 80
4.2
Energy registers
Energy registers in the CewePrometer are electronic counters that accumulate energy. Prefixes and number of
decimals are configured which apply to all energy registers. Energy registers have a width of nine digits,
regardless of the total number of decimals and the prefix configured. When an energy register has reached its
maximum figure (for example, 999999.999 kWh), it resets to zero. Fewer decimals and larger prefixes give the
energy registers space for more energy without resetting. Read more about how energy is calculated and
defined by quadrants in Appendix F Calculation Principles (pg.69).

Storage in non-volatile memory
All registers are saved in non-volatile memory once per second. Loss of auxiliary voltage therefore results in no
more than one second of lost historical energy measurement data. For optimal safekeeping, all registers are
saved in three alternating memory areas.

4.2.3
Delta values on meter Display
Delta values can be seen under logger channels display, only when selected in any of logger channel.
4.2.4
Integration period (IP) of Delta values
Integration period of delta values can be set by the time period of logger 2 using CeweConfig tool.
As per above picture, time interval of logger can be set to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 or 60 minutes. Default time
period of logger is 1 minute which is also the default IP of all delta energy values.
Logger 2 time interval will only affect the IP of delta energy values; it will not log them unless the values are
selected as logger channel in any of the logger.
4.3
Instant values
Besides energy, the CewePrometer can also measure instant values. Instant values are constantly changing
values such as current, voltage, power and harmonics. The formulas and definitions used to calculate the
values are presented in Appendix F Calculation Principles (pg.69).
4.3.1
Overview
This table provides an overview of the instant values that can be read on the meter. Readings can be viewed
with CeweConfig, on the display and with other software that has implemented CewePrometers communication
protocol. Most instant values can be logged; for more information, see section Loggers (pg. 34).

Update frequency
The update frequency for instant values is proportional to the frequency of the measuring voltage. With a 50 Hz
measuring voltage, updating occurs 12.5 times per second, and at 60 Hz, 15 times per second. Instant values
can be read up to twice per second via the serial port when it is set to 19200 baud.

4.3.4
Prefix for units in the display
The presentation for units and the number of decimals depends on the magnitude of the value.
4.3.5
Harmonics measurement
Harmonics numbers 2 to 31 are measured for all currents and voltages. At a fundamental frequency of 50 Hz,
the second harmonic is 100 Hz, the third harmonic is 150 Hz, etc. Both the harmonics amplitude and phase
angle are measured and included in the calculation of power and energy, and can be read via the meters
communication protocols. In CeweConfig, harmonic amplitudes are presented with a diagram.
4.3.6
THD
THD stands for Total Harmonics Distortion and is a measurement of the amount of harmonics present in a
signal. Voltages and currents THD can be read via CeweConfig and on the display.
4.3.7
Harmonics on 2-element meter
The harmonics measurements of voltage on the 2-element meters should be seen from the standpoint of the
voltages being D-connected internally in the meter. The harmonics measured are the vector sums of the
phases harmonics.
4.4
Digital inputs and outputs
The CewePrometer has several inputs and outputs that can be configured to perform various tasks. Both inputs
and outputs are protected against over voltages by varistors. They also have an isolated interface between the
electronics and the surroundings to ensure personal safety. For electrical data on the meters inputs and
outputs, see Appendix H Connection and General Details (pg.75).
4.4.1
Inputs
The inputs can be configured as follows:

Not used
The input is not used.
Finish historical period
An incoming pulse will result in the present period ending and registers being copied to historical
registers. For a pulse to finish historical period, it is also necessary that the historical registers be
configured to allow this. For more information, see the section Historical registers (pg. 40).
Pulse input
To register pulses from pulse-producing units, such as energy meters or water meters, pulse inputs are
used. Incoming pulses are accumulated in registers called external registers. There is an external
register connected to each input on the meter. For external registers, a factor is configured by which the
number of incoming pulses is multiplied. Prefixes and the number of decimals can also be configured for
the registers. Moreover, the registers can be configured with descriptive texts.
Time synchronisation
When incoming pulses are received, the meters clock is synchronised at a specific interval For
available synchronisation intervals and more detailed information on time synchronisation, see the
section Meter clock (pg. 25).
Rate input
Up to three digital inputs can be configured to control the active rate. Each input will correspond to a bit
and the significance is also defined for the digital input. A high level on the input will signify that the bit is
1 while a low level will signify 0. How the digital input levels are mapped to rates is defined in the
Time of use panel (pg. 41).
4.4.1.1
Registration of pulses
The meter registers pulses on positive or negative flanks, depending on if the input is set to inverted or not. A
pulse must be at least 16 ms long to be guaranteed of being detected by the meter. The maximum pulse width
that the meter can handle is 60 s. By setting limits for maximum and minimum pulse lengths, the meter can be
Public
Page 29 of 80
limited as to what it detects as a valid pulse. Pulses with lengths beyond the established limits are ignored. The
occurrence of too long or too short pulses can also be configured to be recorded in the event log.

The figure shows pulse lengths when an input is inverted or non-inverted, respectively.
4.4.2
Outputs
The outputs can be configured as follows:

Not used
The output is not used.
Pulse output
The output is used to pulse an energy type that the meter is measuring. A pulse constant is specified for
the output as pulses/unit, primary or secondary, and the pulse length is specified for all pulse outputs.
The shortest possible pulse length is 40ms. Pulses are not allowed not come too often, and because of
this, there is a relationship between the pulse length and the specified pulse constant that maximises
the pulse frequency to 1000/(pulse length(ms) * 2).
Pulse
Gap
Maximum pulse frequency at outputs limited so that the gap is at least as long as the pulse length.
Remote control
With this function, the output can be made active or inactive by sending commands to the meter via the
IEC62056-21/IEC1107 protocol. This functions could be used control anything that can be controlled
with a digital relay output.
Alarm output
When an output is set to functions as an alarm output, one or more of the user-defined alarms can be
chosen to indicate at the output. When an alarm occurs, the output switches to active, and when the
alarm state ceases, the output returns to inactive. In the section Alarms (pg. 36), user-defined alarms
are described and how they can be configured.
In contrast to the other selectable functions for outputs, alarm outputs can be inverted. Note that outputs
are inverted via firmware. If the meter loses its auxiliary power, the relay will open, regardless of it is
inverted or not.
End of MD period (maximum demand period)
At the end of a set MD period, the output will go active for one second before returning to the inactive
state. See the section Maximum demand (pg. 38).
Page 30 of 80
Public
4.4.2.1
Output states
An active output means a closed relay when the output is not inverted. When the output is inverted, the active
relay is open. The output can only be inverted when used as an alarm or pulse output The CewePrometer
outputs are of the solid-state type and when the meter is turned off, they are open.

Display sequences
The following is a description of the function properties of CewePrometers display sequences. The section
Display sequences (pg.32) describes how to navigate in the display sequences via the meters buttons, and
Appendix A - Display Layouts (pg.50) lists all of the CewePrometers available display layouts.
Menu for choosing one of the four display sequences. The names of the sequences can be configured.
The CewePrometer is equipped with a graphic display that can show the information available in the meter. To
organise the information, there can be up to five display sequences with a maximum of 40 selectable display
layouts in each. Each display sequence can be given a name that will be presented on the display.
Display sequence five is only accessible via the sealed button under the front panel window. The front panel
window can be sealed to provide additional security. For this reason, it is appropriate that display layouts with
sensitive information and sensitive functions be placed in display sequence five.
4.5.1
Automatic display cycling
Automatic display cycling means that the display layouts in one or more display sequences are automatically
cycled by the meter. If, for example, display sequences 1 and 3 are configured for automatic display layout
cycling, the meter will first cycle the display layouts in sequence 1 from the first to last layout, and then continue
with sequence 3. After the last layout in sequence 3, cycling restarts with the first layout in sequence 1. The
display layouts cycle with a configurable delay of 1 to 30 seconds. If a user manually navigates in the display
sequences via the meter's buttons, cycling automatically stops and continues again after one minute.
4.5.2
Passwords and security
The display sequences can be configured to be password protected to limit access for various users. When a
user chooses a password-protected display sequence via the meters buttons, a password entry field is
displayed. Only a correctly entered password gives access to the display sequence and to the display layouts
that are included in it. A password can be up to six characters long and include the characters A-Z, 0-9 and
:;<>=?@. Passwords are not case-sensitive.
Note1: Password cannot be used on the first active display sequence.
Note2: If a password-protected display sequence is configured for automatic display layout cycling, password
protection is deactivated.
4.5.3
Automatic return to first display layout
One minute after a user has stopped navigating in the display sequences, the CewePrometer returns to the first
display layout in display sequence 1 if automatic display layout cycling is not activated for any display sequence.
4.5.4
Locked (required) display sequence
The meter can be configured to not allow any changes of display sequence 4. This setting (Block configuration
of display sequence 4) is available in the Communication and Security form. The setting can only be changed at
access level 5.
Since access level 5 typically requires the security hardware jumper, this feature can be used to enforce a
display sequence that cannot be changed or deactivated using CeweConfig.
4.6
Communications and security
All CewePrometers are equipped with an optical port for communication. The meter can be optionally equipped
with one or two (three on the rack meter) additional communication ports with RS232, RS422 (RS485) or
Ethernet interfaces. CewePrometer supports the IEC62056-21 (formerly IEC 1107) and on the additional ports
Page 32 of 80
Public
also the DLMS/COSEM protocol. For more information on protocol support, see the document CewePrometer
meter reading.
4.6.1
Communication speed
The meters optical port always starts with a baud rate of 300 bps, regardless of what is configured, before
shifting over to the specified communication speed. This means that software (for example, CeweConfig) that
communicates with the meter via the optical port does not need to know the speed that the meters optical port
is set to. The optional ports designated as communication ports #1 and #2 differ in this respect. They start at the
specified baud rate from the beginning, which means that connected software must be aware of the speed to be
able to communicate. Communication port #1 can be set at a speed of between 300 bps and 19200 bps, and
communication port #2 can be set at a speed of between 1200 and 19200 bps. The optical port can be set at a
speed of between 300 and 9600 bps.
4.6.2
Modem initiation
If a modem is connected to one of the optional ports, a modem initiation string can be configured that the meter
sends via the serial port. The initiation string can be used to set the correct communication settings for the
modem and can consist of AT-Commands. The meter sends the initiation string when the meter is turned on
and thereafter every tenth minute. During ongoing communications, the meter waits to send the initiation string
until communications has stopped.
4.6.3
Bus address
A bus address can be defined for any serial communication port in the meter and shall have a value of 16 or
higher. This setting is only used for the DLSM/COSEM protocol. See the document CewePrometer meter
reading for more details.
4.6.4
Security
The meter has five authorisation levels that can limit access to the meter during communication via any of the
meters communication ports. Authorisation levels 1 and 2 are password-protected. Authorisation levels 3 to 5
may be protected by passwords or by a circuit board jumper.
Authorisation levels
1
Provides access to reading.
Provides access to everything in level 1 plus access to set the clock and
finish historical periods (also resets maximum demand values).
Provides access to everything in level 2 plus access to configure the

meter.
Provides access to everything in level 3 plus access to transfer new

firmware to the meter.
Provides access to everything in level 4 plus access to calibrate the

meter, reset registers and change certain security setting.
4.6.4.1
Limitation of total access attempts
The meter limits the total number of access attempts to six when incorrect passwords are entered. At the
seventh attempt, the meter blocks access whether the password is correct or not. The block is in effect until the
next hour shift. After that, new password attempts may be made.
4.6.4.2
Passwords
A password consists of up to 12 case insensitive alpha-numerical characters. The authorisation check may be
deactivated for a level by deleting the password. When connecting to the meter, access is granted to the highest
level that is lacking password regardless of the password given by the user.
If the setting Require COP password compliance (min length 6) is activated, a new password is required to be
at least 6 characters. The setting can only be changed at access level 5.
Public
Page 33 of 80
4.6.4.3
Security settings
The following security settings modify what can be configured at what access level. The settings are of the type
active/not active, and can only be changed at access level 5.
Permit measuring configuration only at level 5
Block configuration of transformer compensation
Block configuration of display sequence 4
4.6.4.4
If this setting is active, settings in the

measurement form can only be changed at
access level 5.
If this setting is active, transformer compensation
cannot be changed at all.
If this setting is active, it is not possible to change
the content of display sequence 4, or change its
name or activation.
Access restriction via circuit board jumper
Inside the CewePrometer, there is space for a circuit board jumper that provides access to authorisation level 5
when fitted. If the meter is connected with authorisation at level 5, the function of the jumper can be modified.
Security can be heightened by requiring the jumper even for lower authorisation levels down to level 3. Security
can also be relaxed by making authorisation level 5 accessible via a password. Cewe Instrument can provide a
technical fact sheet, tfcr0004, that describes the procedure for opening the meter and fitting the jumper.
4.6.4.5
Access restriction for measurement configuration
Generally the meter allows to be reconfigured at access level 3. This function requires level 5 for measuring
configuration.
4.7
Loggers
The CewePrometer has two identical, parallel and individually configurable loggers. That which is described in
this section applies both to logger 1 and logger 2.
4.7.1
Overview
A logger in a CewePrometer can log values for instant quantities, energy registers and external registers. Some
quantities can be logged both by phase and as total values for all three phases, others only as total values. The
table provides an overview of quantities that can be logged. Certain instant values in the table are not available
in 2-element meters and thus cannot be logged; see the section Instant values (pg. 27).

Energy is logged as register values, i.e. at each logging occasion the current registers values is logged. Based
on these register values, the reading software can present the energy as register values, periodic energy or as
average power. CeweConfig provides all three alternatives.
Instant values can be logged as average, maximum or minimum value during the logging interval or as the
instantaneous value at the end of the logging interval. Maximums and minimums are detected based on 1 sec.
interval snapshots, and average is calculated based on 1 sec. interval snapshots.
4.7.2
Logging interval and total channels
A logger can store data in 1 to 50 channels. Common for all channels in a logger is that the logging interval that
can be configured from one minute up to one hour. A loggers capacity is dependent on number of channels and
logging interval. When the logger is full, the oldest values will be written over. The table shows the capacity in
number of days before the oldest value is written over.

Storage of logged values
Logged values are saved with time stamps, tariff information and flags that indicate events that have occurred
during the logging interval.
Public
Page 35 of 80
The time stamp indicates the end-time. If the logging interval is configured to one hour, a value with the
time stamp 15:00 refers to the period 14:00 to 15:00.
Tariff information indicates active rates for energy and power during the past interval.
To indicate events or states during an interval, a logged value can be stored with one or more flags.

Name of flag Explanation

T
During the past interval, the meter clock has been adjusted either instantaneous
or a sliding adjustment is in progress.
D
The past interval is incomplete. For example, an interval shortened by the meter
being without auxiliary power or if the logging memory has been reset. The first
value after the logging memory having been configured will thus always be
indicated with "Faulty value (the logging me mory is reset in conjunction with
reconfiguration).
A
In conjunction with user-defined alarms being configured, it may be specified that
an alarm will also be indicated with logged values. When a user-defined alarm has
triggered during the past interval, this is indicated with the flag Alarm.
P
The CewePrometers configuration, calibration or initiation has changed. Which of
these three the flag refers to can be seen in the event log.
R
The CewePrometer can be configured for a normal energy direction, import or
export. If the meters energy direction deviates from this, this is indicated with the
flag Incorrect energy direction.
S
Daylight saving time has been in effect during the past interval.
V
During the past interval all measuring voltages have been lost or missing.
To be able to guarantee that a logged value is correct, it is logged with a control

sum. If the check sum is incorrect when the value is read, this is indicated with
Invalid value. This is a rare event, but could occur if the meter is subjected to
powerful, external electromagnetic interference.
Estimated battery lifetime is up.
During the past interval have the meter been without auxiliary power.
B
O
For several of the flags, additional information can be viewed in the event log. A more exact time for events
is specified in the log.
Note: When power is calculated from logged energy values, the resulting values will be somewhat more precise
than when power is logged directly. This is because power is logged as an average value of instant values. The
instant values are read twice per second, while energy is accumulated continuously.
4.7.4
Behaviour after power loss
When the meter starts again after loss of auxiliary power, any energy accumulated up to the power loss will be
stored with a time stamp immediately following the power loss.
The incomplete log record before the power loss will have the following limitations:
If any instant values were configured to be logged, they will be recorded as 0.
The only notification flags that are handled are D, S and O.
If tariff is controlled using rate input, tariff will be recorded as 1.
4.8
Alarms
The CewePrometer is equipped with alarms to be able to indicate when measured quantities are over or under
a configurable limit value. The meter enters the alarm state when the limit value is reached. An alarm is
generated only after the alarm state has continued for a configurable time (delay). Alarms are configurable by
the user and are therefore called user-defined alarms. For the CewePrometer 1.2.0 or earlier, the maximum
delay is 64 seconds.
Note: There are alarms and events that cannot be configured, but instead, are always active. Examples of such
alarms are indication that the clock has been changed or that an auxiliary power loss has occurred. For more
information, see the section Event log (pg. 38).

4.8.1
Overview
For most user-defined alarms, the limit value is specified as a percentage of the nominal value, which is the
configured, nominal primary value (current, voltage or power). For 3-element meters, the limit value corresponds
to phase voltage, and for 2-element meters, line to line voltage. The following table provides an overview of
available alarms.

Event log
The CewePrometer has a number of defined events and alarms that are stored in the meters event log when
they occur. The event log can contain a maximum of 100 events. Thereafter, the oldest will be removed to make
room for the new. The meter has a counter for the total number of events that have occurred since the latest
reset.
An event is represented by a time stamp and a code that indicates what has occurred. See Appendix B - Events
and Configuration Log (pg.58) for a complete list of all events. For certain events, data is also stored for the
events, for example, which phase the event concerns.
Events are divided into three categories:
User-defined alarms
The meter has a number of alarms that when they occur, generate an event in the event log. The
alarms each have an individual configuration that determines the conditions for when an alarm is to be
activated. See the section Alarms (pg. 36).
Meter events
The meter is also equipped with a number of alarms that are not configurable by the user, so-called
meter events. These have set conditions and are stored only in the event log. Examples of meter events
are auxiliary power loss and clock resetting. A complete list of meter events is in Appendix B - Events
and Configuration Log (pg.58)
Internal errors
The contents of the internal data structures, such as configuration and energy registers, are checked by
the meter. If an error is detected in one of the data structures, it is designated as an internal error. If an
internal error is indicated, the event log should be checked for related information, and suitable actions
should be taken. Internal errors are listed in Appendix B - Events and Configuration Log (pg.58).
4.9.1
Display of events
The event log can be viewed on the meters display if the display layout Events is configured to be included in
one of the meters display sequences. Only the time stamp and event code are shown on the display. A more
detailed description of the meter's events can be viewed in CeweConfig, which converts the code into plain text
and displays any related data. Via CeweConfig, the event log can also be printed out or saved to a file.
4.10 Configuration log

Any changes to measurement configuration are logged in the meters configuration log. The configuration log
can contain a maximum of 100 changes. Any further changes will be denied, until the configuration log is
cleared. Clearing of the configuration log can be done with the command Tool/Reset/Event log(configuration),
and requires access level 5.
The configuration log can be viewed in CeweConfig. Each entry describes which setting was changed, and lists
the old value (hexadecimally encoded). The configuration log can also be included in a display sequence on the
meter.
4.11 Maximum demand

Maximum demand is the highest average value of, for example, active power during a historical period. The
average value is calculated for an interval and compared with a previously stored value. If the new average
value exceeds the previously stored value, it becomes the new value for maximum demand. When a historical
period ends, the current maximum demand values are copied to historical registers and then reset. The
CewePrometer always stores the three highest average values from three different days.
Page 38 of 80
Public
4.11.1 Overview
Up to eight quantities can be saved in the maximum demand registers, which makes a total of 24 values with
time stamps for when they occurred. The table shows the types of energy that can produce maximum demand
values.
Active energy import
Active energy export
Reactive energy import
Reactive energy export
Reactive energy inductive
Reactive energy capacitive
Reactive energy QI
Reactive energy QII
Reactive energy QIII
Reactive energy QIV
Apparent energy import
Apparent energy export
The calculation interval for average values determines the period during which average values are calculated.
At the end of the interval, the new average value is compared with the previous and possibly stored as a new
maximum demand value. The calculation interval can be chosen between 1 and 60 minutes in the following
predefined steps: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 minutes.
Example: A historical period has just been finished and all maximum demand values have been reset. The
meter is configured with a calculation interval of 30 minutes and active power as the quantity for which to
calculate the average value. The table is read from top to bottom and illustrates what will be stored in the
maximum demand registers at the various times.

4.11.1.1 Cumulative Maximum Demand
For each MD value there is an associated accumulating register. When a historical period is finished, the MD
values are accumulated to these registers.
Public
Page 39 of 80
4.11.1.2 Rising Demand

CewePrometer has a function to show the Rising Demand in the display. The value is presented as a
continuously increasing demand until the end of the MD period. During the demand period the display also
shows the elapsed time of the period. When the MD period ends this counter is set to zero.
4.12 Historical registers

Historical registers are used by the CewePrometer to store current register values at defined points so as to be
able to read them later. Stored in historical registers are all maximum demand values, external registers, TOU
registers and energy registers, with the exception of energy registers by phase. The historical registers are time
stamped to indicate when storage occurred. The CewePrometer can store up to 15 historical registers.

4.12.1.1 Finish historical period
By finishing a historical period, the current registers values are stored in historical registers and the maximum
demand values are reset. When a period is finished, an event is stored in the meters event log. Periods can be
finished in various ways:
Via meter button
The period is finished when the meters Menu/Apply button is held

down for more than two seconds when the display layout Finish
period is active.
This requires both that the historical registers are configured to
permit finish via the meter button and that a display layout for this
is entered in a display sequence.
Via CeweConfig
At the end of the month
Via digital input.
The period is finished when a command is given from

CeweConfig or third-party software.
The period is finished when the meter clock reaches the end of
the month.
The period ends when a pulse is received at a digital input on the
meter.
This requires both that the historical registers are configured to
permit ending via a digital input and that an input is configured for
this purpose.
Note: The display layout Finish period will only work if the meter is configured to permit ending a period via a
button.
4.12.1.2 Lock out time for finish historical period
The Lock out time prevents the user to create a new historical period within a configurated time.
Page 40 of 80
Public
4.13 Time of use

Time of use is a function that enables energy to be divided up into various registers depending on the rate that
applied when the energy was measured. In the CewePrometer, tariff structures can be stored that switch rates
at predetermined times according to a configurable pattern. A tariff structure consists of seasons, day types and
special days or rate input. The maximum number of rates is eight.
Day types specify how rates change during a 24-hour day.
Seasons specify the day types that apply during the days of the week, Monday to Sunday.
Special days specify the day type that applies on a certain date.
Rate input can be used to control active rate depending on the state of digital input signals.
4.13.1 Tariff structures

In the CewePrometer, there are two separate tariff structures. Both tariff structures have a set of day types,
seasons and special days. By setting a starting date for a tariff structure, it can be configured before it goes into
force.
4.13.2 Day type

In the CewePrometer, there are 16 day types (AP). A day type specifies witch rate, from a maximum of eight,
should apply when during the day. 16 changing points per day may be specified. A day type can be connected
to a day of the week in a season or to a special day.
4.13.3 Season
A season refers to a period. During this period, the season defines the day types that will apply during the days
of the week. In the CewePrometer, there are 16 seasons per tariff structure. The seasons are arranged in a
sequence where one season replaces the previous at a predetermined date.
4.13.4 Special days

Days that change rates according to a pattern that is not covered by linking day types to seasons (such as
holidays) are called special days. A special day specifies the day type that applies on a certain date. Special
days can be configured to apply every year on the same date or for a single year. In the CewePrometer, up to
30 special days per tariff structure can be configured.
4.13.5 Rate input

Rate input structures are the only option in Time of use except TOU registers if Rate input are chosen in digital
input. It is not possible to combine Rate input with other types of rates. Two to eight different rates can be
configured for the energy registers and maximum demand. The rates for the energy register and maximum
demand can be configured independently of each other.
4.13.6 TOU registers

An energy register or external register that is chosen to be divided into the rates is a TOU register. There are
eight TOU registers and each TOU register has separate registers for eight rates.
4.13.7 Maximum demand values and tariffs

Maximum demand values are stored together with information on which rate applied when registered. For one
and the same day, there can be separate day types for energy and maximum demand values.
Example: The conditions are Monday to Saturday, rate 2 applies from 7:00 in the morning until 17:00 in the
afternoon. For the rest of the day, rate 1 applies. On Sundays, rate 1 applies around the clock. During the
summer months, 1June to 31 August, rate 1 applies around the clock. On Christmas Eve, 24 December, rate 1
applies around the clock. For maximum demand values, rate 3 always applies. It is active energy import that is
divided in to different rates.
Public

Day types
Three day types must be configured. Day type A to apply to energy during the autumn, winter and spring. Day
type B to apply during the summer months, and day type C for maximum demand values throughout the year.

4.14 Transformer compensation

Transformer compensation is a function for compensating for measurement errors in instrument transformers
and for losses in power transformers. The function enables the CewePrometer to present measurement values
for which errors and losses have been compensated. The formulas used in the meter are presented in Appendix
F Calculation Principles (pg. 69).
Changing the transformer compensation can be blocked by the security setting Block configuration of
transformer compensation. This setting can only be changed at access level 5.
4.14.1 Overview
The tables present an overview of the transformer compensations in CewePrometer.

Public
4.14.2 Instrument transformer compensations

To compensate for errors in instrument transformers, their amplitude error in percent and phase angle error in
minutes are configured in the meter. One minute is equal to the angle 1/60. The errors can be specified
separately for all voltages and currents. When instrument transformer compensations are used, current and
voltage are affected, as well as all quantities that arise from these: power, energy, etc.
4.14.3 2-element meter

When voltage errors are compensated on a 2-element meter, this is done on line to line voltages L12, L23 and
L31 instead of on phase voltages. Only L12 and L23 are included in the calculation of power and energy.
Compensation of L31 has no significance in this respect. In compensation of current errors for 2-element
meters, only L1 and L3 can be compensated for because they are the only currents measured.
4.14.4 Power transformer losses

Power transformer losses consist of copper and iron losses. They are expressed as percentages of nominal
power. One value is specified for active loss and one for reactive. When compensation of losses is configured,
power, energy, power factor, etc. are affected but not current and voltage.
When copper loss are added per phase, the resulting copper loss is the average of the value.
Calculating loss values

Based on the nominal total power and the measured loss value in watts, a loss value can be calculated as a
percentage of nominal power. It is the loss value that is configured in the meter. Nominal power is calculated
with configured nominal current and voltage.
Nominal power:
Powernom
Loss value: Loss value
Currentnom Line voltagenom
Loss / Powernom 100
4.15 Power quality

Power quality encompasses voltage monitoring and harmonics measurement. Harmonics measurement is
described in the section Instant values (pg. 27).
4.15.1 Voltage monitoring

Voltage monitoring monitors three states: swells (overvoltage), sags (undervoltage) and interrupts. Monitoring is
activated by configuring the limit values for sags and swells, and is deactivated by setting the limits to zero. The
limits are expressed as percentages of configured nominal voltage.
Example: For an upper limit of 110% and a lower limit of 90%, and the configured nominal primary voltage of 10
kV, the limits attained are 9 kV and 11 kV primary.
For 3-element meters, the average value for phase voltage is monitored, and for 2-element meters, the average
value for line to line voltage is monitored.
4.15.1.1 Sags and swells
Sags and swells shorter than one second are registered by accumulating registers. If the state lasts longer than
one second, it is instead registered in the event log with a time stamp and duration. The accumulating counters
and the event log can be read in CeweConfig.
4.15.1.2 Interrupts
When the average value for voltage falls to under 10% of the configured nominal voltage, this is registered as
an interrupt in the event log with a time stamp and duration. Duration for an interrupt of less than three seconds,
and down to 160 ms, is presented as "< 3 s".

4.15.2 Hysteresis
Hysteresis means that the limit for a state and the limit for when it is restored are different. This to avoid several
states being registered when the voltage level varies around a limit. The hysteresis limit is always midway
between the low or high limit and nominal voltage.

4.16 Miscellaneous
4.16.1 General information texts
General information texts are used in the CewePrometer for all types of information, such as the name of the
station where the meter is installed. The information texts can be shown on the meter's display and read with
CeweConfig. There are four information texts that consist of a label and an associated text. Both the label and
text can be up to 17 characters long. To present information texts on the display, display layouts for this can be
entered in a display sequence.
Example of general information texts where the label is "Owner" and the text "Cewe Instrument".

5 Using the Display

This section describes how the CewePrometers display can be used to read measurement values and also to
control certain functions in the meter. The display layouts are arranged in display sequences. For details on
display sequences, see Display sequences (pg. 32). A complete listing of display layouts is presented in (pg.
50).
Quadrant indicator
In most display layouts, a quadrant indicator is shown in the lower-right corner. The quadrant indicator shows
the quadrant in which energy is currently being measured. See Appendix F Calculation Principles (pg. 69) for
a definition of quadrants.

Voltage order display layout
When the CewePrometer starts, the display layout Voltage Order is always shown for about 15 seconds. The
display layout shows the order of the connected measurement voltages. If the voltage order is correct, the
current direction is indicated with a + or a -. If not all voltages are connected, Phase missing is shown on the
display. The current direction is indicated with a + if the currents phase angle is following its voltage with a
maximum deviation of 90; if it is not, a - is displayed.

If you do not attain these results, try one or more of the following:
Check the cabling and connections between the meter and reading unit.
Check that the meter and the reading unit have the same baud rate.
With RS422 communications, it is important that there is a termination resistor installed on the
communication cable. Problems arise if the resistor is not installed or incorrectly located. For more

Serial Communication Port RS422/RS485

A twisted pair of wires is used as the receiving bus that all meters monitor, and another pair is used as a
transmitting bus that all meters send on. The communication equipment uses an RS422/RS485 port or an
RS232 port through an RS232-to-RS422/RS485 converter. The converter must be designed for 4-wire
communications (RS422, full duplex) or 2-wire (RS485, half duplex). Recommended converters are Westermo

IEC62056-21/IEC1107 optical communication port optical port

Place the optical head so that the IR receiver and transmitter are in the optimum positions for exchanging
signals. This position is attained when the optical head is centred over the optical port with the cable hanging
straight down. Visible ambient light (daylight, light bulbs and fluorescent lamps) can interfere with the transfer of
IR signals if the light is strong, and cause communications to fail. Visible light from most light sources contains a
certain amount of IR light that can cause interference. To ensure reliable communications, avoid installing the
meter where it can be subjected to strong ambient light when communications via the optical port are required.

Communications between modules

The intelligent function modules that make up the CewePrometer are autonomous units with their own microcontrollers and own firmware. These are connected in an internal network through an internal bus. For internal
communications, information transfer is via a CAN bus. This bus is designed for reliable operation in harsh
electrical environments, primarily in motor vehicles, and has high transfer reliability and error detection.

Appendix E Frequently Asked Questions

Display Sequences
Which information is not available via the CewePrometer's display?
Graphs for discrete harmonics, vector graphs on 2-element meters, logged values and counters for short sags
and swells. This information cannot presently (meter version 1.2.0) be read via the meter's display. The
information is accessible via CeweConfig and via the communication protocol.
Meter Clock
What happens if a new successive adjustment is made when one is already underway?
The current adjustment will be stopped and the new begun.
What happens if the meter time is set within an hour before the change from daylight savings time to
standard time?
If the meter time is set to daylight savings time before the change, it will be set back to standard time
automatically at the approaching time change. If the meter time is set to standard time before the change, it will
not be affected at the approaching time change.
If you set the meter to use DST during the summer period, will the meter clock then change time to
DST?
No, the meter will always have the same time regardless when you set DST.
When summer time starts, the clock jumps one hour. What happens if the user sets the meter to a time
within that hour?
The mter will ignore the new time because that hour does not exist.
When the DST ends the clock will move backwards one hour. What happens if one set the time in the
meter to that hour? Will there be four or two occasions of that hour?
The meter assumes that the time is in DST if it is during that period and assumes it is in normal time when it is
in that period. The meter will not shift twice.
What happens if more than one input is used for clock synchronisation?
Several inputs can be used simultaneously to receive synchronising pulses even if this is unlikely.
How are logged values affected by the daylight savings time change?
According to the example:
Change from standard to daylight savings time
2005-03-28 01:30
3467.4 kWh
2005-03-28 03:00

2005-10-31 03:00
4583.1 kWh
Logged values during daylight savings time are labelled with the flag S. S means that the timestamp is in DST.
What are the possible consequences of adjusting the meter clock immediately?
Because CeweConfig does not permit the clock to be adjusted immediately without simultaneously resetting the
logging memory, this is purely hypothetical. If it were to be allowed, then if the clock is adjusted forward over
one or more interval limits, there will be empty spaces in the logging memory and values will be lacking for one
or more intervals.
It the clock is adjusted backward over one or more interval limits, one or more values will exist with the same
time stamps. In the worst event, this can result in data read from the meter not matching the expected period.
