1.11 Operating
Consumption indication
On the DRT-301C’S front panel, there are four LED, in which three LED are for three phase voltage and
another one for impulse. The constant of the impulse is shown on the nameplate of the meter.
Reading the meter

The DRT-301C energy meter is equipped with 6+1 or 5+2 LCD display, which is used as recording
consumption and can’t be reset to zero. The number system is based on units of 10. And unit is kWh.
Another way through RS485 and PC software or HHU(hand held unit)unit can read power consumption
Pulse output
DRT-301C DIN rail energy meter is equipped with a pulse output which is fully separated from the
inside circuit. That generates pulses in proportion to the measured energy. They are test pulse output
(pins 8 & 9). Usually, the test pulse output is used as testing accuracy or reading purpose in close
quarters.
The test pulse output is a polarity dependant, passive transistor output requiring an external voltage
source for correct operation. For this external voltage source, the voltage (Ui) should be 5-27V DC,
and the maximum input current (Imax) should be 27mA DC. To connect the impulse output, connect
5-27V DC to connector 9 (anode), and the signal wire (S) to connector 8 (cathode). The meter pulses
is indicated on the front panel.
Communication port
DRT301-C has equipped a far infrared port and a RS485 port, we can program the meter’s
operation data or reading via these 2 ports. The communication protocol conforms MODBUS RTU
protocol.
Far infrared communication port

The far infrared communication port is on the left of LCD screen. It is infrared wireless
communication port. The TP800 hand-held programmer can directly communicate the data
between the meter and this port.
The data transmission speed is 1200bps(default),9600(option).
The communication distance is not less than 5m.
Rs485 output
RS485 communication port is between the meter terminal 11 and 10.
It is a synchronization wire port. Installing a software in PC, via RS485 adapter
Connecting the terminal 11 and 10, PC can communicate with the meter immediately.
1.12 CT Changing-Ratio setting
How to set the CT Changing- Ratio of the CT Meter

Please set the CT Changing-Ratio after installation otherwise the CT Meter will count the second
energy consumption by default Ratio ( 5:5).
Procedures of setting the CT Changing- Ratio of the CT Meter:
1. wiring the meter correctly according to Diagram 3 and 4
2. The meter will do auto-detect first when the power is on, and the LCD shows “88888.8.8.”
