WARNING
Read the instructions in this manual before performing installation and take note of the
following precautions:
BFM II is intended for measurements performed in building and industrial installations,
relating to measurement category III (UL61010-1 3rd ed.), pollution degree 2.
Ensure that all incoming AC power and other power sources are turned OFF before
performing any work on the instrument. Failure to do so may result in serious or even
fatal injury and/or equipment damage.
Before connecting the instrument to the power source, check the labels at the front of
the instrument to ensure that your instrument is equipped with the appropriate rating
input voltages and currents.
Under no circumstances should the instrument be connected to a power source
if it is damaged.
To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the instrument to rain or
moisture.
While installing HACS to the secondary of an external third party current transformer,
the external current transformer secondary output must never be allowed to be open
circuit when the primary is energized. An open circuit can cause high voltages, possibly
resulting in equipment damage, fire and even serious or fatal injury. Ensure that the
current transformer wiring is secured using an external strain relief to reduce mechanical
strain on the screw terminals, if necessary.
Only qualified personnel familiar with the instrument and its associated electrical
equipment must perform setup procedures.
Do not open the instrument under any circumstances when it is connected to a power
source.
Do not use the instrument for primary protection functions where failure of the device
can cause fire, injury or death. The instrument can only be used for secondary protection
if needed.
Read this manual thoroughly before connecting the device to the current carrying circuits.
During operation of the device, hazardous voltages are present on input terminals. Failure
to observe precautions can result in serious or even fatal injury or damage to equipment.

Chapter 2 Installation
Mechanical Installation
Follow instructions below to assemble the BFM II modules:
Dimensions
Figure 2-1a BFM II Front View dimensions, DIN Rail and Wall mount – 18 channels
Electrical Installation
BFM II offers maximum flexibility of current connections by using the variety
of HACS options and by wiring any HACS to any current input of the device.
The following drawings present applications serviced by the BFM II.
Note:
All incoming AC power and other power sources are turned OFF before
performing any work on the instrument. Failure to do so may result in serious
or even fatal injury and/or equipment damage.
Before connecting the instrument to the power source, check the labels at the
front of the instrument to ensure that your instrument is equipped with the
appropriate rating input voltages and currents.
Under no circumstances should the instrument be connected to a power
source if it is damaged.
To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the instrument
to rain or moisture.
While installing HACS to the secondary of an external third party current
transformer, the external current transformer secondary output must never be
allowed to be open circuit when the primary is energized. An open circuit can
cause high voltages, possibly resulting in equipment damage, fire and even
serious or fatal injury. Ensure that the current transformer wiring is secured
using an external strain relief to reduce mechanical strain on the screw
terminals, if necessary.
Only qualified personnel familiar with the instrument and its associated
electrical equipment must perform setup procedures.
It is recommended to use a 2A Circuit Breaker before connecting to Mains

3For operating temperature range of -20 C to 60 C, the Aux. PS can operate from 40VDC minimum at up to 54
channels
Connect the wires to the + and - inlets according to the following polarity
colors:
Polarity Solid Core HACS Split Core HACS Split Core RS5
secondary secondary secondary
+ RED WHITE WHITE
- ORANGE BLACK BLACK
It is recommended to mark the cables and CTs with the supplied tie markers.
It is recommended to use non-insulated ferrules as wire terminal, such as:
P/N: F77-8-M – Manufacturer: PANDUIT
HACS/RS5 stickers I1 through I54 correspond to the BFM II current inputs with
matching labels. Cable stickers 1 through 18 correspond to the BFM II current
terminal blocks with matching labels.
Use the table from Appendix B to annotate your input assignments and wiring
connections.
Labeling example:
Assume you want to connect three HACSs/RS5s to the device terminal block
3 so these three HACSs/RS5s would be connected to the device inputs I7, I8,
and I9 respectively:
1. Take a HACS/RS5 connection cable, attach a tie wrap marker to each
side of the cable and mark them as 3 to indicate that it should be
connected to the device terminal block 3.
For extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, the Aux. PS can operate from 90VDC minimum at up to
54 channels
Safety requirements
The BFM II is designed with double insulation circuits to meet the safety
requirements.
The properly marked external 3-pole disconnect device with circuit-breaker
and a fuse 2A, 600V in every pole should be installed between voltage
measurement terminals and power lines, located as close as possible (less
than 2 m recommended) to the BFM II, as shown in figure 2-4a above .
EMI requirements
To ensure EMI (electro-magnetic interferences) requirements the BFM II must
be grounded - the signal ground terminal should be connected to protective
earth with a copper conductor or strap with minimal length (less than 1 m
desirable) and cross-section AWG14-18 (2.5 mm2).
Communications
Serial Communication ports
The BFM II provides 2 optically isolated serial communication ports, COM1
(RS485) in the MCM module and COM2 (RS422/485) in one of the optional
Communication modules (CELLULAR, WiFi4, BacNet3), as shown in Figure 2-
7a/b.
Both COM ports can operate simultaneously.
If two or more communication modules are plugged in the BFM II, only one
COM2 port will be active
RS-485 Connection – COM1 (standard)
4
WiFi, Bacnet communication modules are not available – future options, contact SATEC for more details.
Input/Output
Digital Inputs
9 or 18 optically isolated digital inputs in one digital input module (9/18DI) are
provided for status monitoring and external synchronization of power demand
period and time. Dry or wet contacts may be connected to these inputs, as
shown in Figures 2-11. All common terminals are internally connected
together.
Up to four 9/18DI modules can be installed in the BFM II.
Dry Contacts
Analog Inputs
4 optically isolated analog inputs in one analog input module (4AI) are
provided for sensor monitoring such temperature sensors, fuel level
measurement, etc. … Current input options are: 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA, 0-1 mA
and ±1 mA, as shown in Figure 2-12.
The scan time for regular analog inputs is 2 cycles (32 ms at @ 60Hz and 40
ms @ 50Hz). AI readings and triggers are updated each 1/2-cycle.
Each analog input can be independently scaled to provide true readings in the
user-defined engineering units (see Programming Analog Inputs in Chapter
7).
When the battery level drops below the minimum allowed threshold, the
"BATTERY LOW" flag is set and an event is generated in the "Event Log"
memory, indicating that the battery should be replaced. Use the following
procedure:
1. Remove the MCM lower terminal cover.
2. Remove the GDM tighten screw using a Philips screwdriver and pull the
GDM unit to access the battery
3. Remove the battery to be replaced and insert a new battery while the
positive polarity (+) is on the top.
Indicator LEDs
The CPU/Energy Pulse LED, flashing green means CPU LED shows that the
device is in initialization process after RESET or POWER ON. When device is
ready for operation the LED is OFF, unless sub-meter SM #1 (after RESET or
POWER ON Energy Pulse LED is assigned to SM#1as default) is measuring
energy consumption.
The green TX and RX LEDs indicate activity on the COM1 communication
port. The LEDs flash when the port is receiving or transmitting data.
The green ACT and yellow LINK LEDs indicate Ethernet port activity and link
to network
Note
To provide simultaneous file services for all ports, the BFM II keeps
independent file pointers for each communications port. For a TCP port, the
BFM II holds separate file pointers for each active TCP socket. The TCP
server automatically closes a connection if a socket is idle for more than 5
minutes. There is no guarantee that a new connection is established at the
same socket, so do not make any assumptions regarding the current file status
when starting a new connection from your application. Always initialize a file
pointer to a record from where you expect to begin reading a file. For more
information, see “File Transfer” in the BFM II MODBUS Communications
Guide.
Using PAS
PAS is the support software supplied with the BFM II that gives the user basic
tool for programming the device, performing remote control operations,
monitoring real-time measurements, retrieving and analyzing historical data
files.
PAS can communicate with the devices through any BFM II port using the
MODBUS RTU, MODBUS ASCII and DNP3.0 protocols.
For information on installing and using PAS, see Chapter 4 “Using PAS”.
Device Settings
Before operating your BFM II, provide the device with information about your
particular environment. The device front display (see Display Operations
(BFM II)) and the supplementary PAS software (see PAS Application
Software) allow you to configure the BFM II for your particular use.
Meter Security
The BFM II provides 3-level password security for protecting meter setups and
accumulated data from unauthorized changes. Meter readings are not
software protected.
Access to particular setup and control items is granted depending on the
security level of the password you entered. The passwords can be 1 to 8 digits
long.
The following table shows the meter security levels and user access rights.
Password Security Level Access Rights
Submeter System
The BFM II provides up to 54 submeters with separate measurement and
energy registers. Each submeter can service current inputs dedicated to a
particular consumer (metering submeter) or be used as a Totalization meter
for automatic Totalization of energy from different sub-consumers
(Totalization submeter). Additionally, the BFM II provides four more
Totalization submeters (55 through 60) that you can use for Totalization
purposes when all 54 metering submeters have been utilized.
A submeter remains inactive while there are no current inputs associated with
the submeter (see Channel Assignments), or until you link another submeter
as a source to its energy registers making it a Totalization submeter (see
Setting up Total and Tariff Registers). The Channel Assignment setup allows
you to link one to three current inputs to each submeter and to specify the
primary rating of the current transformers. A Totalization submeter provides
Totalization of energy from any number of metering and Totalization
submeters.
By default, your device is configured for 6 three-phase metering submeters
with CT primary value of 50A (50A nominal rating) - 100A maximum current
inputs for MCM model – HACS, in direct connection application, or 10A (10A
nominal rating) - 20A maximum current inputs for MCM model - RS5, in
transformer operated application.
Submeter Addressing
The BFM II uses the Modbus communication protocol for data transmission
and accessing setups through communications. A full description of the
communications protocol is found in the BFM II Modbus Reference Guide
provided with your device. Each active submeter in the BFM II is assigned a
unique communication address that allows accessing its private registers and
setups. All submeter addresses are assigned automatically in a sequential
order starting with the device base address that is programmed through the
device Communication Setup (see Setting Up Communication Ports ). The
following table illustrates submeter addressing in the device with the base
address N.
Device Base Address Submeter Number Submeter Address
N SM 1 N
SM 2 N+1
…
SM 54 N+53
SM 55 N+54
…
SM 60 N+59
Your device is factory preset to address 1 and occupies the range of
addresses 1 through 6, configured for 6 three-phase submeters.
NOTES
1. Device setup settings, excluding the alarm setpoints and data log setup,
are shared across all submeters. Though you can read or write them
using any submeter address, your changes affect all submeters in the
device.
Energy/TOU System
The BFM II provides 8 separate billing energy (total/summary and parallel tariff
and maximum demand) registers for each individual submeter. Each register
can be linked to any internal energy source or another submeter. The first
billing register in your meter is linked to the kWh accumulator by default. Other
registers are not operational unless you configure them through the
Energy/TOU Setup (see Configuring Billing Energy and TOU Registers).
Tariff Rates
The BFM II provides three options for switching tariff rates:
Automatic via a programmable TOU calendar schedule Modbus RTU
and Modbus ASCII communication protocols
external via communications by direct writing a tariff number to the
meter tariff register
external via digital inputs by providing a tariff number code on the
meter tariff inputs
See Device Options and Mode Control in Chapter 4 on how to program the
tariff control mode and select tariff inputs in your meter.
The meter tariff structure supports 8 different tariff rates using an arbitrary tariff
schedule.
The BFM II TOU calendar provides a season tariff schedule and an option for
scheduled daylight savings switch dates. A total of 4 types of days and 4
seasons are supported with up to eight tariff changes per day. See Configuring
Billing Energy and TOU Registers for more information on programming the
tariff calendar schedule in your meter.
The present tariff rate is indicated on the BFM II display. If required, tariff-
switching pulses with a programmable duration can be output via the meter
relays.
Device Diagnostics
Device diagnostic messages may appear as a result of the BFM II built-in
diagnostic tests performed during start-up and device operation. See Device
Diagnostic Codes in Appendix F for the list of diagnostic codes and their
meanings.
The device diagnostics status is stored in a non-volatile register, which may
be inspected and cleared via PAS, from the meter display or from a user
application. All diagnostic events with time stamps are also recorded in the
device Event log and can be inspected via PAS (see Retrieving the Event Log
in Chapter 4).
34 BFM II Branch Feeder Monitor
Chapter 2 Installation Device Diagnostics
See Diagnostics Display and Reset in Chapter 3 on how to inspect and clear
the device diagnostics status from the display. See Viewing and Clearing
Device Diagnostics in Chapter 3 on how to inspect and clear the device
diagnostics status via PAS. Refer to the BFM II Modbus Reference Guide for
the diagnostic register address and layout.
In the event of a device fault, check the fault reason and clear the device
diagnostics. In the event of a time fault, update the device clock. In the event
of a configuration reset, check the setup affected by the fault via the device
Event log, and then verify the setup data.
Hardware failures are normally non-critical recoverable faults that do not
cause a system failure but may cause data loss. Hardware failures are often
caused by excessive electrical noise in the region of the device.
If the device continuously resets itself, contact your local distributor.
Note
Always clear the battery operation time counters after replacing a battery. See
Resetting Accumulators and Clearing Log Files in Chapter 6 for information
on how to clear the operation counters in your meter.

Channel Assignments
The Channel Assignments setup allows you to link the device current
terminals to submeters so they can monitor them. Additionally, this setup
allows you to specify the primary current rating of the current transformers
connected to the device terminals. The number of the selected current inputs
for a submeter specifies if it will be a single-, two-, or three-phase meter.
Always select your submeters (both metering and totalization) in a sequence
without gaps so that your device does not occupy unnecessary network
addresses.
To enter the setup dialog, select the device site from the list box on the PAS
toolbar, select General Setup from the Meter Setup menu, and then click on
the Channel Assignments tab.
1 The device is pre-configured for eighteen three-phase submeters as shown in the picture.
2For HACS module models, specify the HACS ratings assuming a 200% device inputs over range.
The device inputs are preset for 100A current transformers with a 50A primary nominal rating.
For RS5 module models, specify the HACS ratings assuming a 200% device inputs over range. The
device inputs are preset for 20A current transformers with a 5A primary nominal rating.
Transformer Correction
Transformer correction allows you to compensate ratio and phase angle
inaccuracies of the user voltage transformers and SATEC current sensors
(HACS) instrument.
If you use standard current transformers listed in the last table column, select
a transformer type to preset the transformer ratio correction factor and phase
angle error to their typical values.
Local Settings
The Local Settings setup allows you to specify your time zone and daylight
saving time options.
To configure the time zone options for your device, select the device site from
the list box on the PAS toolbar, select General Setup from the Meter Setup
menu, and then click on the Local Settings tab.
When the daylight saving time is enabled, the BFM II automatically adjusts the
device clock at 02.00 AM when daylight saving time begins/ends. The default
daylight saving time change points are set for the U.S.A.
If the daylight saving time option is disabled, you need to manually adjust the
device clock for daylight saving time.
Using Counters
The BFM II has 72 nine-digit signed counters that count different events. Each
counter is independently linked to any digital input and count input pulses with
a programmable scale factor. You can link a number of digital inputs to the
same counter. Each counter can be incremented or decremented through the
Control Setpoints in response to any internal or external event.
To configure the device counters, select General Setup from the Meter Setup
menu, and then click on the Counters tab.
Display Setup
Select General Setup from the Meter Setup menu, and then click on the
Display Setup tab.

the available parameters.
3. Add the name for your data log file in the Name box. It will appear in the
data log reports.
4. Save your new setup to the device database, and send it to the meter.
5. Configure a setpoint for periodic triggering the Data recorder using the
MINUTE INTERVAL trigger (see Using Alarm/Control Setpoints).
Administration
PAS allows you to remotely change the password or network security in your
BFM II . Use the device base address to access your device.
To change the password, select a device site from the list box on the PAS
toolbar, check the On-line button, click Administration from the monitor menu,
and then select Change Password.
To change the password, type in a new 8-digit password, repeat the password
in the Confirm box, and then click Send.
4. Point to the firmware upgrade file for your BFM II, click Open, and then
confirm upgrading the device. You would be asked for the password
regardless of the password protection setting in your BFM II.
6. Wait until PAS completes upgrading your device. It would take about 3-4
minutes at 115,200 bps to download the file to the device.
Data Monitoring
Viewing Real-Time Data
Real-time data can be continuously retrieved from the BFM II submeters,
updated on the screen at the rate you defined in the Instrument Setup, and
recorded to a file. You can view acquired data in a tabular or in a graphical
form as a data trend.
For information on the real-time data monitoring and recording options, see
the PAS Getting Started Guide.
To get data from all submeters in a single window, click on the Multi-meter
View button on the local toolbar.
