3. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
The SDM630Modbus-V3 features a clear, illuminated display and simple direct operation for viewing various measurement parameters.
3.1 Whakaatu me te Whakaterenga
The LCD display shows real-time energy consumption and other measured values. Use the navigation buttons (typically 'M' for Menu, 'P' for Page, and arrow keys) to cycle through different display screens and access settings.
3.2 Measurement Options
The meter provides a wide range of measurement data, including:
- Total Active Energy (kWh)
- Pūngao Tauhohenga Tapeke (kVArh)
- Mana Hohe (kW)
- Reactive Power (kVArh)
- Apparent Power (kVA)
- Tauira Mana
- Voltage (V)
- Nāianei (A)
- Auautanga (Hz)
Active power (kWh) and reactive power (kVArh) are calculated on a net basis, displaying both total counter readings and separate import/export values.
3.3 Atanga Whakawhitiwhiti
The meter is equipped with:
- RS485 Modbus-RTU Interface: For remote reading and integration into energy management systems. Supports communication up to 19.2bps.
- 2 Pulse Outputs (S0): For import and/or export, useful for connecting to external data loggers or control systems. P1 is fixed at 400 imp/kWh, while P2 is adjustable.
4. Tiaki
The Eastron SDM630Modbus-V3 is designed for long-term, reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Regular inspection of connections and the meter's physical condition is recommended.
- Te horoi: Whakamahia he kakahu ngohengohe, maroke hei horoi i te taha waho o te mita. Kaua e whakamahi i ngā kaihoroi whakakoi, i ngā whakarewa rānei.
- Hononga: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they remain tight and free from corrosion.

No user-serviceable parts are inside the meter. Refer all internal servicing to qualified personnel.
5. Te Raru
If you encounter issues with your Eastron SDM630Modbus-V3 meter, consider the following common problems and solutions:
- Karekau he Whakaatu/Hiro:
- Tirohia ngā hononga hiko katoa kia mōhio ai kei te mau, kei te tika hoki te taura.
- Manatokohia ko te voltage is within the specified range (100~280V AC L-N, 100~480V AC L-L).
- Pānui hē:
- Confirm that the wiring configuration (1-phase, 3-phase 3-wire, 3-phase 4-wire) matches your electrical system.
- Ensure current transformers (CTs), if used with a different model, are correctly installed and ratio is configured. (Note: This model is direct measuring up to 80A).
- Check for any external interference or magnetic fields near the meter.
- Communication Issues (RS485):
- Verify the RS485 wiring polarity (A/B).
- Check Modbus address and baud rate settings on both the meter and the master device.
- Ensure proper termination resistors are used on the Modbus network if necessary.
- Pulse Output Not Working:
- Confirm the pulse output settings (P1 fixed, P2 adjustable) are correct.
- Check the connection to the receiving device.
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact Eastron technical support or your local distributor for assistance.
