1.5 Defective measurement device/dispos-

al
Before sending defective measurement devices,
modules or components back to the manufactur-
er for testing:
· Contact the manufacturer's Support department.
· Send measurement devices, modules or compo-
nents complete with all accessories.
· When doing so, please bear the terms for trans-
portation in mind.

INFORMATION
Please return defective or damaged measurement
devices to Janitza electronics GmbH in accordance
with the shipping instructions for air or road freight
(complete with accessories).
Observe special regulations for measurement devic-
es with built-in batteries or rechargeable batteries!

Do not attempt to open or repair the measurement

device (the component) on your own because oth-
erwise all warranty claims become invalid!

For Disposal of the measurement device, please

observe national regulations! Dispose of individual
parts, as applicable, depending on their composi-
tion and existing country-specific regulations, e.g.
as
· Electronic waste,
· Batteries and rechargeable batteries.
· Plastics.
· Metals.
Engage a certified disposal company to handle
scrapping as needed.

Information on service and maintenance of your

measurement device can be found in chapter „16.

The voltage measurement inputs are suitable for
measurement in networks where overvoltages of
category 600 V CAT III (rated surge voltage 6 kV)
can occur.

8.3 Shielding
Provide a twisted and shielded cable for connec-
tions via the interfaces and observe the following
points for shielding:
· Ground the shields of all cables leading into the
cabinet at the cabinet entrance.
· Connect the shield to a noiseless ground and en-
sure a large surface area with good conductivity.
· Do NOT connect the shield to terminal C (GND)
· Mechanically restrain the cables before the
grounding clamp to prevent damage from cable
movement.
· Use suitable cable glands, for example PG
glands, to lead the cable into the switchboard
cabinet.

WARNING
Transmission error and risk of injury due to
electrical fault!
Atmospheric discharge can cause transmission
errors and hazardous voltages on the device.
Therefore please abide by the following:
· Connect the shielding to functional earth (PE)
at least once.
· In the case of larger sources of interference,
frequency converters in the switchboard
cabinet, connect the shielding to functional
earth (PE) as close as possible to the device.
· Observe the maximum cable length of
1200 m (3936 ft.) at a baud rate of 38.4 k.
· Use shielded cables.
· Route interface cables spatially separated
or additionally insulated from mains volt-
age-carrying system components.

14.10 Measurement device acceptance re-

port
When installing and working on MID+ certified
measurement devices, the person working on the
measurement device must ensure that a measure-
ment device acceptance report is prepared or, if
necessary, that entries are supplemented!

Check and, if necessary, correct the following

before commissioning:
· Current, voltage transformer ratios (see Page
48).
· Time, date (see Page 55).

The measurement device acceptance report con-

tains information on current and voltage transform-
er types and their settings (transformer ratios, date
and time specifications).

ATTENTION
The device acceptance report is a prerequisite
for MID-compliant use of the measurement
device.
If there is no acceptance report or only a faulty
one is present for an MID-compliant measurement
device, the measured values from the device can
be declared invalid in case of doubt! Therefore Fig. Check the time in the menu Configuration > System
> Time.
please abide by the following:
· Check the set transformer ratio and the time
directly on the device and record them in the
device acceptance protocol.
· The device stores correct data records only
when the time is set!
· The device acceptance report must be kept in
a safe, readily available place throughout the
entire service life of the MID devices!

The MID+ certified measurement device
· Saves correct data records only when the time
is set!
· Sets the time to the factory setting when
the supply voltage is disconnected and the
battery is simultaneously spent or after the
battery is changed, meaning it is therefore
considered “not set”.

To ensure that a battery replacement is carried

out without loss of data, the measurement device
provides an advance warning with the notification
"Battery capacity less than 10%!":
Fig. Warning "Please set the time"

· The data in the meter reading cycle is marked as

invalid as long as the time has not been set.
· Configure the date and time on the display under
Configuration > System > Time.
· A time (date) set on the display after a battery
replacement is adopted by the measurement de-
vice after 90 seconds. This allows you to correct
incorrect entries within the 90 seconds.

14.13 Warning alert “Time synchronization”

After 3 days with no time synchronization, the
UMG-96-PA-MID+ reports "Clock unsynchro-
nized" in the display.
Observe the conditions for time synchronization
(see section 14.11 on page 94). Use one of the
options described to synchronize the time.

This warning is removed automatically as soon as

the device has received a new time synchroniza-
tion.

Fig. Display "Clock not synchronized"

INFORMATION
After 7 days with no time synchronization, the
device records invalid measurement data, i.e.
these measurement data cannot be used for
accounting in accordance with the German Re-
newable Energy Sources Act (EEG) e.g. when
measuring with the UMG-96-PA-MID+!

Current measurement (measuring range) 0.002 .. 6 A
Frequency range 45-65 Hz
Reference frequency 50 Hz
Accuracy class B
Pulse valency S0 (pulse constant) 10,000 pulses/kWh 2)
Electromagnetic environmental conditions Class E2 (MID 2014/32/EU)
Mechanical environmental conditions Class M1 (MID 2014/32/EU)
Suitable grid systems 1p2w, 3p3w, 3p4w
1) The following applies for the UMG 96-PA-MID+ when measuring voltage using voltage transformers: Use calibrated/permis-
sible
voltage transformers for MID-compliant measurement (secondary: 3 x 57.7/100 V - 3 x 289/500 V).
2) The pulse valency S0 is automatically adapted to the voltage transformer ratio that has been set. The momentary pulse va-
lency S0 appears in the Active energy measuring display (see „„14.9 Tariff measuring display“ on page 92).
