Installation Preparation
Before you get started make sure you have the following:
Carlo Gavazzi EM210 Meter
The power source of +12V DC to power the Galooli RTU (Elara)/Carlo Gavazzi EM210
Power cables for the Elara/Carlo Gavazzi EM210 gateway - two cables with a thickness of 0.5mm. The length of the cables is determined by the distance between the power source and the Elara/Carlo Gavazzi EM210 Meter gateway
RS485 To USB Converter & two 0.5mm thick communication cables. The length of the cables is determined by the distance between the RS485 to the USB converter and the computer
Screwdriver (Slotted & Phillips)
Communication cables for the Carlo Gavazzi EM210 inputs and outputs. Cables with a thickness of 0.5mm. The length of the cables is determined by the distance between the sensors and the surrounding environment
Electronic tools – screwdriver, multimeter, & f-crimp tool
Additional information:
The device is designed to be installed on a din rail
Make sure that you have sufficient space for its mounting
We recommend mounting the AC meter next to phase breakers - this act can simplify the process of disconnecting the cables from the breakers, passing the load cables through the meter, and then connecting them back to the breakers

Note! Make sure your computer recognizes the COM port at the “Device Manager”. Otherwise, install the proper driver.
Power Connection
Connect the device to a power source with a minimum voltage of 40V. This AC meter's power pins are the phases themselves. One phase is enough to power the meter.
Make sure the LED is lit green.
Connection to the Computer
It is highly recommended that you perform this step within the office before you leave for the field
Connect the RS485 converter to the PC/laptop and connect the other ends of the wires to that AC meter. RS-458 Adaptor connected to the PC
