The Schneider Electric iEM3255 AC Energy Meter is a compact, DIN-rail mounted device for monitoring energy consumption in single-phase or three-phase systems. It provides accurate measurements of energy, voltage, current, power factor, and frequency.
Whenever the meter is connected to a CT ring, the ring must be configured within the meter. Detailed information about the process can be found in this article.

Before installing the load cables and connecting the voltage lines, it is necessary to cut off the AC power. Once the wiring procedure is completed, you may turn the AC power back on
Any electrical installment should be carried out only by a certified high-voltage electrician
The AC power cable should be threaded through the ring as shown in the picture below.

Click the "OK" button until you reach the "CT & VT Ration". To access the menu, click "OK". Verify that the "CT Secondary" appears as it does in the CT ring you use, click "OK", and then verify that the "CT Primary" appears as it does in the CT ring. To complete this step, click on “OK ”.
You can then set the time and date and complete the process by clicking "OK" until it is complete.
To connect the AC meter to the Galooli Gateway (RS485), you will need to connect two cables, one to the "D1/+" and the other to the "D0/-".
