MT96 Power Analyzer General features
1.- General features

The MT96 power analyzer is a programmable measuring instrument; it offers a series of
options for using it, which may be selected from configuration menus on the instrument
itself. Before starting the analyzer carefully read sections: power supply, connection and
setting. Select the most suitable form of operation in order to obtain the required data.
The MT96 measures, calculates and displays the main electrical
parameters in three phase, balanced or unbalanced industrial systems.
Measurements are taken in true effective value using the three
alternating voltage inputs and three current inputs to measure 5 A
secondaries from external measurement toroids.
With its processor, the measurement station allows simultaneous analysis of:

43 700). All connections must remain inside the electrical board.
Bear in mind that when the equipment is connected, the terminals may be
dangerous if touched. Opening covers or removing parts may access parts
which are dangerous if touched. The equipment must not be used until it is fully
installed.
The equipment must be connected to a power supply circuit protected with gl (IEC 269) or
type M fuses between 0.5 and 2 A. It must have an overload/short circuit switch or
equivalent device in order to disconnect the equipment from the power supply. The power
supply circuit and the voltage measurement circuit is connected with a cable with a
minimum cross section of 1 mm2.

MT96 Power Analyzer Setting COMMUNICATION SETUP
7.- Setting COMMUNICATION SETUP *(Only for models with communication)
One or more MT96 instruments may be connected to a computer or PLC in order to

automate a production process or an energy control system. As well as the usual
operation of each instrument, this system may centralize data at one single point; for this
reason the MT96 has a RS-485 communication output.
If more than one instrument is connected to one single series line (RS-485), it is necessary
to assign to each a number or address (from 01 to 255) so that the central computer or
PLC sends the appropriate requests to these addresses for each peripheral.
From communication SETUP, the MT96's communication parameters may be displayed

and/or changed, this may match these parameters to the requirements of the system
topologies and/or applications.
The analyzer does not store the setting changes until all of the setting has been finished. If
it is RESET before the end of the setting, the configuration entered is not stored in the
memory.
To access COMMUNICATIONS SETUP the RESET key has to be pressed (until the
equipment starts) and then the MAX, MIN and keys have to be pressed until setting
mode is entered.
On entering setting mode the message "SETUP inic" appears for a few seconds, informing
the user that the equipment has entered communications display or setting mode.
Below the display shows “set prot bus"

Using this information screen, the equipment is informing the user that the
Communication Protocol via the RS-485 series port is standard MODBUS©.

As a default the equipment does NOT protect data with the “unlo”, option and by
pressing the key enters the data and ends the configuration of the
equipment.
If on the other hand the parmeters in Measurement Setup are to be protected,
the option “Loc” has to be selected using the MAX key and then the key must
be pressed. The protection password as a default will always be 1234; any
password code entered will be incorrect.

8.- MODBUS© Protocol
The MT96 Power Analyzers communicate by using MODBUS© protocol, described below:
In the MODBUS protocol the RTU (Remote terminal Unit) mode is used; each 8-bit byte in a
message contains two 4-bits hexadecimal characters.
The format for each byte in RTU mode
Code 8 bit binary, hexadecimal 0-9, A-F

2 hexadecimal characters contained in each 8-bit field in the
message.
Bits per byte 8 data bits
Field Check-Error CRC Type (Cyclical Redundancy Check)
Modbus functions used
Function 01 Reading the status of the relays
Function 03 and 04 Reading n Words (16 bits-2 bytes). Function used for reading
the electrical parameters that the MT96 is measuring. All
electrical parameters are long with 32 bits, because of this
two Words are required to request each parameter.

MT96 Power Analyzer Connection for the RS-485 bus
10.- Connection for the RS-485 BUS
The composition of the RS-485 cabling must be carried out with a meshed screen cable
(minimum 3 wire) with a maximum distance of 1,200 metres between the MT96 and the
master unit. This Bus may connect a maximum of 32 MT96 analyzers.
RS-232 / RS-485
CONVERTER
For communication with the master unit, the RS-232 to RS-485 System Protocol
Intelligent Converter has to be used. This converter does not require the 7 Pin
connection in the RS-232 part.
11.- FAQ’s
11.1.- The CVM-NRG96 analyzer, once cabled and connected is seen to give a
correct voltage and current reading, but shows negative values for
active power (generation).
This is an error with the cabling for the current transformer secondaries; the direction of
the transformer current has to be respected as shown in the connection diagram. The
34 of 38
MT96 Power Analyzer FAQ’s
current transformers have a two face primary; the current must pass from P1 to P2 giving
the result in secondary (S1 and S2) of 5 amps.
The error stems from:
a) The current transformers have been incorrectly installed. As a result it gives

the direction of the current as passing from P2 to P1; to resolve this
problem, the current transformer does not have to be dismantled and
installed again, but the transformer secondary (S1 and S2) just has to be
inverted.
b) The connection of the current secondaries in the current transformers have
been incorrectly connected; to resolve this problem just connect the S1
transformer secondary to the S1 on the analyzer and the S2 on the current
transformer to the S2 on the analyzer.
1. The CVM-NRG96 analyzer, once cabled and connected, is seen to give an

incoherent Power factor and Cos φ III reading (-0.01 or similar).
This is again a current transformer and voltage phase connection error phase L1 (R),
must correspond to the current transformer installed in phase L1 (R); phase L2 (S), must
correspond to the current transformer installed in phase L2 (S); and phase L3 (T), must
correspond to the current transformer installed in phase L3 (T).
This connection is clearly shown on the back of the analyzer.
35 of 38
MT96 Power Analyzer FAQ’S
11.2.- The CVM-NRG96 analyzer does not correctly display the current
reading. It shows values varying between 0 to 5 amps of current.
Ensure that the Transformer Primary ratio has been correctly set; once correctly set the
current measurement shall be shown correctly extrapolated to primary (see section on
transformer ratios).
11.3.- The CVM-NRG96 analyzer is measuring in average voltage and is

displaying the secondary voltage (for example 110 volts).
Ensure that the Primary and Secondary voltage ratio has been correctly set (see section
on transformer ratios).
11.4.- The CVM-NRG96 analyzer does not respond to communications

requests; it does not communicate.
Ensure that the equipment's communication parameters have been correctly set as well
as the peripheral number (0 to FF).
11.5.- The CVM-NRG96 analyzer is connected to the Power Studio System and
it does not communicate with the PC.
Ensure that the analyzer has been set with a Bus speed of 19,200 bauds.
