Kamstrup 162M Installation and User Guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the installation manual for the Kamstrup 162M electricity meter. This document includes details on how to connect the meter, interpret its display, and understand the various features it offers, including options for remote reading and load control. I'm ready to answer your questions about the meter and its installation process.
  • What should I do before working on the meter?
    What does the LED indicator show?
    What do the phase indications show?
    What does the red diode indicate on a meter with a disconnection function?

Connect the meter in ccordnce with the instlltion digrm on the meter’s type lbel.
Depending on the configurtion  fixed vlue will be displyed, or the disply will chnge between
selected indictions every 10 seconds.
It is possible to chnge the disply reding mnully by ctivting the push button on the meter.
The vilble redings will depend on the meter’s configurtion.
Security nd instlltion guidelines
The meter is only to be used for mesuring electricl energy nd shll operte within the specified
vlues only.
The meter must be disconnected when working on it. It cn be highly dngerous to touch the meter
prts when the meter is switched on.
Therefore, the relevnt security fuse must be removed nd kept in  plce where it cnnot be
inserted by unuthorized persons.
Current locl stndrds, guidelines, regultions nd instruction must be observed. Only uthorized
personnel is permitted to instll electricity meters.
Meters for direct connection must be protected ginst short circuit by  security fuse in ccord-
nce with the mximum current stted on the meter.

The phse indictions hve vrious functions. They indicte the two situtions described below.
From the connection of the meter:
Indictions L1 Indicte
On Voltge is bove minimum limit (160V)
Off Voltge is below minimum limit (160V)
Indictions Indicte
On The lod is bove the minimum (2.3W)
Off The lod is below minimum limit (2.3W)
If the lod exceeds the minimum limit nd the meter is configured with this reding, consumption
will be indicted vi the qudrnt reding. The direction of the phse current is indicted lso by
the rrow of L1, regrdless of configurtion.

Lod control, instlltion
For meters with lod control rely(s). Due to the dely in the meter, it is importnt to restrt the
meter (off/on) when the time is set correctly in the meter. This plces the relys in the correct
position nd stops the dely timer.

With built-in rdio
If the meter is supplied with integrl rdio for estblishment of remote reding, the meter uto-
mticlly connects to  rdio network. The integrl rdio is equipped with n internl ntenn.
The rdio signl strength cn be red by mens of  hnd-held terminl. If the rdio signl is not
sufficient, n externl ntenn must be connected. Plese see current documenttion on vilble
ntenns.
Mounting  communiction module in the meter my influence on rdio communiction, plese
contct Kmstrup.
With disconnection function
With this type of meter, it must be checked tht the red diode is not switched on. This indictes
tht the consumer’s supply is switched off.
