The meter is based on the main control MCU as the core, and the sampling circuit cooperates with the
metering chip to perform electric power measurement. The time of the electric meter is refreshed in real
time based on the RTC module. At the same time, real-time data is displayed on the LCD. Data such as
electricity, events, billing, and load profile generated by the electricity meter are stored in memory, and
the data can be read through RS485, Optical, GPRS, and PLC. Through the button, the LCD screen can
be displayed and the relay can be manually opened and closed. The LED light can indicate the pulse
light and alarm, and the Relay can realize the power management. Battery is used to maintain the RTC

9
clock and to check the meter display when the power is off. The electricity theft detection module can
detect theft behaviors such as the cover opening, magnetic field, and record the corresponding events.

When the meter is powered on, it will automatically enter the ‘Auto Scroll Display’. When an error
occurs in the meter, the LCD will always display an error code, and enter the ‘Error Display’. When a
button is pressed, the meter will enter the ‘Button Display’;
When the meter is in the ‘Button Display’, if the button is not pressed for a timeout, the meter will
return to ‘Auto Scroll Display’ or ‘Error Display’ in the power-on state, and the meter will enter ‘Display
Nothing’ in the power-off state;
When the meter is in the ‘Power Down Display’, the data will be displayed when a button is pressed,
and ‘Display Nothing’ will be entered after the timeout.

5.1.5 Display period

Under ‘Button Display’, the rotation interval between display items ranges from 1 to 60 seconds, and

16
the default is 6 seconds.
After the meter is powered on, it will display on the full screen for 3 seconds, and then the meter will
enter the ‘Auto Scroll Display’, which will cycle through the Auto Scroll Display List, exit the ‘Auto Scroll
Display’ after pressing button, and return to the ‘Auto Scroll Display’ again after the timeout. The
button timeout setting range is 1-60 seconds, and default as 6 seconds.
The meter enters the ‘Power Down Display’ in power-off state, which can only be triggered by pressing
the button; and enters ‘Display Nothing’ after a timeout. The timeout setting range is 1-60 seconds,
and default as 6 seconds.

5.2 RTC
The meter has an RTC module, which provides a real-time clock for meter. The tariff switching, Load
profile, and billing of meter all operate on the basis of the clock. The RTC module has a temperature
compensation function, so that within the working temperature range of meter, the clock error will not
exceed the tolerance. There is a clock battery on meter to supply power to the RTC module to ensure
that the clock is not lost when meter is under no power status. The external replaceable battery can
also supply power to the RTC module, and the dual batteries ensure the effective operation of the
clock. RTC module has the following characteristics:
➢ Support automatic cross-year, cross-month and cross-day;
➢ Time can be adjusted locally or remotely;
➢ The maximum error per day is no more than 0.5 seconds under the condition of an ambient
temperature of 23°C;
➢ It has a replaceable battery and button battery to supply power to the RTC, which can keep the RTC
running normally in the power failure state without losing the clock;

19
➢ Under normal operating conditions, the RTC battery can maintain the clock for at least 10 years of
normal operation, and it can maintain the clock for at least 3 years without loss in a complete power
failure state.

5.3 TOU
The meter supports a maximum of 4 tariff, 12 seasons, 8 weeks, 8 days, and 8 time periods per day,
up to 100 items. Holidays can be divided into two categories: special year holidays and public year
holidays. Special year holidays can only take effect in designated years; public year holidays take
effect in all years. TOU and holiday parameters can be set and read locally or remotely through the
software.
Tariff switching mode: Firstly, determine whether the current date is in holiday mode; if it is a holiday,
look up the corresponding day table, and find the corresponding rate according to the time table.
When the meter is not in the holiday period, find the corresponding season table according to the
current date, find the corresponding week table in the season table, find the corresponding day table
in the week table, and then find the corresponding tariff. The execution logic as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 3 Tariff switching process

In actual use, if the user wants to update the parameters of the tariff table, in order to ensure that the
tariff tables of all meters are updated at the same time, the meter can be configured with one
main-rate table and one auxiliary-rate table, and set the effective time of auxiliary-rate table. When the
effective time is up, the auxiliary-rate table is activated and becomes the main-rate table.

5.8 Upgrade
This product meter has an upgrade function, which can be achieved through local or remote
communication, without affecting the original data in the meter. The upgrade process complies with
the DLMS specification. After the upgrade, the meter will generate upgrade-related events, see the
‘Event’ chapter.

5.8.1 Upgrade steps

1. The operator needs to obtain the upgrade file, which is generated and issued by our company;
2. Local upgrade through Sunrise Meter Tool or remote upgrade through MDC system; open the
upgrade interface on the software and load the upgrade file;
3. Set upgrade execution time, choose ‘Immediately Activate’ or ‘Activate time’ in two modes;
4. Start upgrade task and wait for upgrade result.

5.8.2 Example
Take the ’Sunrise Meter tool’ as example, see Figure 10, open the upgrade interface→select the
upgrade file ‘1P-140to142.txt’→select ‘Immediate Activate’ mode→click 'update' to start the
upgrade.

39
 Figure 9 Upgrade Operation

5.8.3 Upgrade security

The upgrade function involves the meter firmware security. In order to ensure the upgrade security, we
provide some safety mechanisms during the upgrade process to ensure data security and
transmission integrity.
At the beginning of software upgrade through MDC system or Sunrise Meter Tool, in the first data
transmitted, it will check whether the software version number of the upgrade file matches the
software version number of the current firmware in meter. If not match, the upgrade cannot be
performed. The upgrade file is generated by our company, and configurated with the related
information of meter and company to avoid illegal upgrade by other personnel
After the upgrade file transfer is completed, meter will verify the received upgrade data and compare it
with the check value in the upgrade data to ensure the integrity of the received data.
In order to improve the upgrade efficiency and avoid the problem of retransmission of the upgrade file
when the network or power-grid is restored after the upgrade is interrupted due to network interruption
or power-off, the meter provides resumable transfer function, so that the previous transfer can be
continued, without having to start again.
In order to ensure the safety during the upgrade process and avoid the situation that the firmware is
damaged and meter cannot operate duo to the incomplete upgrade caused by power-off during the
upgrade process, meter provides a firmware backup function. After receiving upgrade file and file
verification passing, meter enters ‘BootLoader’ to perform firmware upgrade. Meter firstly backs up the
currently activated firmware, and then executes the copy function of new firmware. If power-off during
copying the new firmware, meter will re-execute the copy process of new firmware after power-on
again. If the new firmware copy is unsuccessful, meter will restore the old version firmware and exit
the upgrade. At the same time, it will mark the upgrade as a failure, reset and restart to record the
upgrade activation failure event.
When meter performs the upgrade function of new firmware in the BootLoader, it cannot perform
functions such as measuring, communication, event record, etc., meter LCD will always display the
"updating" symbol, and return to normal display after completing upgrade.

6. Battery
Meter is equipped with a replaceable battery with a capacity of 1200mAh. When power-off, the
system enables back-up battery power supply to maintain meter clock, LCD display, and button
operation.
There is also a non-replaceable button battery inside the meter, with a capacity of 240mAh, which
separately provides power for the RTC module. It can keep the RTC clock working for at least 3 years
without losing the RTC clock when the power is completely cut off and there is no replaceable battery.

6.1.1 Battery status

➢ When the grid is powered, the current battery voltage value is calculated per second by AD
sampling.
➢ The battery voltage measurement accuracy is ±0.1V.
➢ When battery undervoltage (less than 3.3V) is detected for 3 consecutive seconds, the battery
flashing symbol will be displayed on the LCD to remind the user that the battery needs to be
replaced, and the low battery voltage event will be recorded

6.1.2 Super-capacitor
Meter has a super-capacitor,when meter Un >200V，the super-capacitor is charged. After the
times of meter power on is moer then 1 h, the LCD can be displayed continuously 48h in the case of
the supercapacitor supply, and the power-down data is not lost.
➢ Super-capacitor capacity：≥1F
➢ Power-off status: average working current 15µA<I<30µA
➢ Power-on status: average working current I<1µA

6.1.3 Battery Replacement

Battery replacement does not need to remove the meter cover, just open the module cover. Operation
as follows:
1. Power must be cut off before replacing the battery; otherwise life will be in danger;
2. Remove the meter seal, loosen the screw, and open the module cover;
3. Take out the old battery;

41
 Figure 10 Remove the battery
4. Install a new battery

Figure 11 Install a new battery

1. Check whether the battery cables are all installed in the battery box and do not expose

them.
2. Pay attention to whether the battery is installed in the battery case.
5. Check whether the new battery is installed successfully, press the button to check whether the LCD
can display data normally and the screen scroll display.

 Figure 12 Check new battery
6. Close the module cover, tighten the screws, and install the new meter seal.

7. LED
Meter has three LED indicators (more detailed in Chapter 8.5), as Figure 14.

Figure 13 LED indicators

➢ When user is running with active energy and energy is accumulated to 1wh, the active pulse
indicator will flash once, and the normal status is off;
➢ When user is running with reactive energy and the energy is accumulated to 1varh, the reactive
pulse indicator will flash once, and the normal status is off;
➢ When meter has power and there is no alarm, power indicator is on. If there is an alarm, power
indicator flashes once per second until the alarm disappears, and also serves as an alarm
indicator;
➢ When using the pulse indicator to test meter accuracy, just aim the device at the corresponding
LED indicator.

9.2 Preparation before installation

➢ Meter should be installed in a ventilated and dry place to ensure safe and reliable installation and
use. Meter should be protected by a protective cabinet in a place that is dirty or may damage the
meter;
➢ Meter should be fixed on a solid, fire-resistant, and non-vibration surface.
➢ Before installation, please check whether the meter is obviously damaged during transportation
(such as the meter cover is damaged, the hookup is damaged, the lead seal is damaged, the LCD is

51
 broken, etc.), if it is damaged, please replace the meter.
➢ Since the smart meter is integrated by delicate components, please be careful during meter
installation and not drop the meter.

Power off the meter installation line to ensure that the installation operation is carried out

without power; otherwise it will pose a threat to life. Make sure that the line fuse is

disconnected and stored in a safe place to ensure that power is not caused by accidental

operation during installation.

9.3 Installation process

1. According to the meter external dimension drawing, choose a location that is easy to install and
mark the fixed point position of the meter on the mounting panel.
2. Drill a hole against the power table mount position, and then drill two holes against the bottom
shell two screw hole position (before punching to make sure that there is no cable behind, to avoid
damage to the cable and cause personal safety).
3. Open the meter end button cover and adjust the mount to the selected height and low position.

When meter leaves the factory, the hookup is uniformly adjusted to a low position to match

the packaging box and avoid damage during transportation.

4. Vertical installation method, hookup position is fixed with M5 hanging screws, meter is hung on
the hanging screws, and then the bottom of meter case is fixed with M5 ordinary screws. Make sure that
the 3 screws are completely tightened and meter is installed firmly and does not shake.

The surface diameter of the bottom fixing screw should be greater than 7mm,and the surface

diameter of the top fixed screw should be greater than 11mm to ensure a stable installation.

5. Cut the connecting wire to the required length, and use a wire striping plier to strip the wire. The
recommended length of the bare metal part after stripping is 25mm.

It is highly recommended to follow the recommended stripping length to ensure that the

exposed metal part is long enough to be secured by two wiring screws at the same time, and

to ensure that the exposed metal part does not exceed the terminal box terminal hole,

ensuring insulation and safety protection.

6. Correct wiring according to the wiring diagram, and tighten the wiring terminals during
installation to avoid heat damage due to poor contact.

54
 Figure 21 Wiring Reference

If the terminal screws are not tightened, the connection resistance will increase, which will

lead to power loss and heat generation of the terminal, which may cause danger. A contact

resistance of 1 mΩ will cause a power loss of 6.4W at 80A

7. The auxiliary terminals are wired (RS485) according to the auxiliary terminal definition.

Be careful not to mistakenly connect the voltage or current wires to the auxiliary terminals to

avoid damage to the meter.

8. Carefully check the wiring (such as whether there is a reverse connection between the input
and output wires, the live wire and the neutral wire, and whether the wiring screws are tightened) to
ensure that there is no mis-operation.

It is recommended to use a suitable test tool (such as a multimeter) to test the input and

output of the connecting line to ensure correct wiring.

9. Put a lead seal on the terminal cover and clamp it with lead sealing pliers.

It is necessary to ensure that the terminal box is tightly closed, otherwise the meter will trip

abnormally due to the opening of the terminal cover.

9.5 Uninstallation
1. Unplug the line fuse and power down the meter.

The cable must be powered off when the meter is unloaded, otherwise it is life-threatening.

Make sure that the line fuse is disconnected and stored in a safe location to ensure that

power-up is not caused by mishandling during unloading.

2. Cut off the terminal cover seal and open the terminal cover;
3. Use a voltage test device (such as a multimeter) to test the connection line to ensure that there
is no voltage on the connection line before proceeding to the next operation;
4. Use a suitable screwdriver to loosen the meter auxiliary terminal wiring screws and remove the
connection wire.
5. Use a suitable screwdriver to loosen the current wiring screws and remove the connection wire.
6. Use a suitable screwdriver to loosen the meter fixing screws.
7. Remove the meter.

n the whole process, you need to pay attention to the operation sequence to prevent the

meter from falling during operation, causing personal injury, and damage to the meter.

8. If necessary, install a replacement meter.

If you do not install a replacement meter temporarily, you need to wrap the voltage and

current connecting wires with insulating materials to ensure that there are no exposed metal

parts, otherwise life safety will be threatened.
