EKM Metering

Hello and welcome to the forum. The best way to get the most information out of your meter on a real-time or daily basis is to continually read all of your meters and store that data on your computer (on in the case of the EKM Push, in the central EKM Push web database). The meters do not store much...

Sohali, Thanks for getting back to us. 1-Pumps or Chillers are using only 3 wires for 3 phase (No neutral) so i will consider this as a 3 wires system & only need 2 CT. Yes, this is called a 3-phase 3-wire system, you will install your meter using 2 CTs. Here is a video showing proper wiring of ...

Hello Taranar, Ooops sorry about that, here is the link to the meter settings/commands protocol pdf: http://documents.ekmmetering.com/EKM-OmniMeter_Advanced_Settings_Commands_Protocol_v.3.pdf The easiest way to learn how the settings are made will be to download the new EKM Dash software here: http:...

Sohali, Thank you for using our meters. Meter Issue: For a 3-phase 4-wire system you will need to leave the neutral wire connected to the meter. Here is a video showing proper wiring of a 3-phase 4-wire system: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeKiZddR0K8&feature=related There is more information ...

Thank you for using our meters for your project, we will be very interested to see what you come up with! There are 2 ways for you to proceed. You can either read the meters directly using the RS-485 protocol. This requires an understanding of serial data. A good place to start is here: http://forum...

Ian, Thank you for your detailed questions. 1. The example shows energy accumulation for 4 transformers. Which meter has a 4th CT input? EKM-- 1. I think you may be referring to the 4 different time periods the meter returns. The Omnimeter itself keeps track of how many kWh both Total and Reverse ha...

Hello Ian, Yes we do have the settings protocol available. It is a bit more challenging to decipher (than our return string parsing sheet), but between it and sniffing the Serial bus while making changes to your meters using the EKM Reader software you should be able to get it. Here is the command/s...

I would be interested in knowing if this is a response coming from the meter. Are you sending your meter an RS-485 hex string? If you have an Omnimeter you will be using this document: http://documents.ekmmetering.com/Meter_Communication_Parsing_Submeter_v3.pdf You will want to make sure you are sen...

Wouter, This is for "Time-of-Use" metering. Some utility customers are charged different rates for different periods of the day. The meter itself keeps track of how much power was used (or generated in these TOU periods. Up to 4 TOU periods can be set and 4 seasons can also be set internal...

Hello Wouter, Thanks for asking! We are really excited about the EKM Push System. The EKM Push System is our forthcoming hardware and database solution. This is a circuit board that we have developed that is designed to be a replacement for our EKM-iSerial. It will make setting up your meter communi...
