Measurement methods

The measurement of current and voltage by the Hyperion proceeds according to the following principle. The Hyperion measures the current and the voltage for 1 second each, after which a new measurement is started. During this second, the following procedure takes place:
  • The Hyperion captures 8192 measuring points for the voltage U and the current I. These measuring points have a 32bit resolution.
  • All measured values for the voltage U and the current I are squared, summed and at the end of the second divided by the number of measuring points (8192). If you extract the root from the result, you get the effective value of the voltage and the current:

    Screenshot 2024-03-07 104053

The power factor λ(cosφ) is calculated from:

Screenshot 2024-03-07 104140

 

The effective power P is calculated from:

P = P F ¨ S

Since an integral is always formed over the voltage (U), the current (I), and the power (U  ̈ I), also non-sinusoidal currents up to and with the 7th upper wave are detected.

Assembly

The Hyperion can be installed regardless of position. The meter is designed for DIN rail according to EN 50022. The meter can also be mounted with a front mounting frame. To remove the counter from a DIN rail, pull the spring-loaded latch on the front of the counter. The wiring of the converter counter should be kept as short as possible.

If the Hyperion has larger measurement differences after commissioning, please note
Please refer to the following points:

  • The use of Rogowski coils is not recommended for transducer counters, due to the multiple current/voltage conversion with external amplification. Each conversion and amplification adds a multiplicative measurement error.
  • Own consumption

- Each meter has its own energy consumption. A main counter will thus measure more energy consumed than the sum of the individual subcounters. A hyperion consumes up to 2W per phase, depending on the model. Over a year, this results in an average self-consumption of the counter of 36kWh/year with a maximum self-cost of 52.5kWh / year.

Starting current

  • Hyperion 3/5 only starts counting from a phase current strength of 1mA, hyperion 3/100 only begins to count from a Phase Current strength of 20mA. In the case of converter counters, the current converters must be dimensioned accordingly.

Accuracy

  • The Hyperion has accuracy class B (energy) and 2 according to EN50470 (Blindenergie). Thus, a maximum measurement error of 1% (efficient energy) and 2% (blind energy) per meter can occur. The total energy of an eventual main counter is affected by this error only once, while the overall energy of the added subcounters contains this error several times.
  • Example: A main counter has 20 subcounters. Each of the subcounters measures 0.2% too little energy. The main counter measures 0.2% too much energy. The energy sum of the 20 subcounters at a real consumption of 100kWh thus 100 kWh * 20 meters * ­0.2% = ­4kWh yield too little energy. The main counter, on the other hand, will show 100kWh * 1 meter * +0.2% = 0.2kWh too much. The measured energy difference between subcounters and main counters is therefore 4.2kWh per 100kWh or 4.2%.
Energy direction (converter counter)
  • If all currents are expected with a positive prefix (the counter only measures the energy reference) and yet one or more currencies have a negative prefix, the current converter has been connected incorrectly.

Converter factor (converter counter)

  • The converter factors at the meter must be adjusted according to the current/voltage converter installed.

Correct Phase Allocation

  • Current L1 and voltage L1 must be connected to the same measuring system. See Connection Scheme Converter Counter.

The weight of a meter is approximately 350g.

⚠️ Safety warning: The power meters must be installed only by a qualified electrician. Current converters must not be operated openly, as high voltages may occur. These may result in personal and property damage.

⚠️ DANGER: When assembling, installing and changing the meter, all wires to which the meter is connected must always be voltage-free. Touching parts under tension is life-threatening!


⚠️ DANGER: The Hyperion 3/5 converter meter has voltage on the power path! Make sure that the voltage paths are also voltage-free before connecting the converters! Touching parts under tension is life-threatening!

⚠️ Caution: According to DIN VDE 0100-557, point 5.3.1, the secondary clamps of current converters in low-voltage switching systems must not be grounded.

⚠️ Note: Only the specified screw and spring clamps may be used to connect the counter. It is recommended to use venous envelopes.


⚠️ Note: The device may be damaged or destroyed by non-observance of the installation instructions. Be sure to follow the installation instructions.

Deployment/Review

The following points must be checked during commissioning:
  • Rotary field direction
  • Current per phase, negative energy direction
  • Phase order ­> L1 L2 L3
  • Current converter ratio
  • Voltage converter ratio
  • Clamp properly worn / torque
  • For reading interface: Correct address

The Hyperion Energy Counter is intended to be used exclusively for the measurement of electrical energy and must not be operated outside the specified technical data.

⚠️ DANGER: Make sure all connected cables are voltage-free before checking or changing them. Touching stressed elements can lead to serious physical injury and even death!

Connection Scheme Converter CounterScreenshot 2024-03-07 115323

In the converter connector counter, the voltage is taken externally. Connect the phase to the “Lx” each. The neutral conductor is connected to the clamp “N”.

When connecting the converter, note the arrows at the connector clamps of the counter. “S1↑” refers to the grid-side connector, “S2↓” to the consumer/producer-side connection.

💡 Note: This also applies if the hyperion is to measure only supplied energy! The Hyperion measures both receipt and delivery correctly.

⚠️ Attention: Due to the voltage on the power path of the Hyperion Energy Counter 3/5 the connected current converter must not be grounded!

⚠️ Danger: The two connections between the “S2↓” of the third phase and the neutral conductor are for developing functions. Don't attach anything to this. Incorrect connections to these two pins may result in the counter being destroyed.

An amendment of the tariff will be accepted immediately, i.e. the Tariff applied at that time at the clamps 9 – 11 will apply from that moment.

The tariff signal consists of an alternating voltage of 230VAC, which is installed between NE (clamp 11) and E2 (klamp 9) / E1 (clump 10). The tariffs apply according to the following truth table, where “0” 0VAC and “1” 230VAC corresponds to NE (clamp 11).Screenshot 2024-03-07 121437

From work, tariff 1 is always set.
The tariff inputs are galvanically separated internally by optic couplers.

Note: A change in the tariff in the LP version of the Hyperion Energy Counter will be accepted at the time of the start of a new recording period, i.e. the Tariff applied at that time on the clamps 9 – 11 is valid from that moment at least until the beginning of the next recording Period.

Screenshot 2024-03-07 121452

Set Tariff Number

The number of tariffs can be set in the settings. Choose between Double Tariff (2) and Fourfold Tariff (4).

  • “Right Arrow” to settings
  • “Arrow Down” to number of tariffs 
  • “Service Button” short press (<2 seconds)
  • “Arrow Down” chooses between 2 and 4 tariff
  • Saving: “Serviced Key” for >2 seconds until LCD screen flashes

Note: All images in this documentation show only 2 rates each. The display guide works exactly the same for 4 tariffs.

❗ Note: The LP variant of the Hyperion energy meter has fixed the 2 tariff operation. This cannot be changed.

Real-time clock

The real-time clock of the Hyperion energy meter can be set directly at the meter or via optional interfaces. The interfaces (TCP/IP, M­Bus, Modbus, LoRa) also allow you to connect the counter to a time server, so that the counter can synchronize independently.

The Hyperion has an internal clock, which can show a deviation of 0.4 seconds per day. The LP version of the Hyperion Energy Counter has special messages that can appear on the display in relation to the real-time watch. For more detailed information on the LP variant of the Hyperion Energy Counter, please refer to the PTB-A 50.7 specific chapter at the end of this user manual.

Configuration on device

The real-time clock can be set directly at the Hyperion. The internal clock is supported by a buffer in a voltage-free state for at least 18 days before the time needs to be reset.

❗ Note: The meter must have been in operation for at least 2 hours to fully charge the power storage.

  •  “Right Arrow” to settings
  • “Arrow Down” to real-time clock
  • “Service Button” short press (<2 seconds)
  • “Right Arrow” chooses the digit
  • “Arrow Down” increases the digit
  • Saving: “Servicing button” for >2 seconds until LCD screen flashes

Automatic Time Synchronization

The time synchronization is done via M-Bus using a defined command via the selected counter interface. Each time and date information is sent to the counter. The synchronization takes place immediately and is received by the counter with a “ACK” message.

Counters with the TCP/IP and LoRa interface can automatically synchronize when a time server is specified. The counter sends a request every 1­2 minutes to the time server until the first synchronization has taken place. After that, the counter only requests synchronization once per hour.

❗ Note: for projects with mandatory load-rate certification PTB­A 50.7: you only have 2048 entries for a time change (or converter factor change, S0 pulse value change or S0 impulse length change) before the counter falls into an electronically invalid state, and time synchronizations can only be done once per load interval.

Loading interval

The load interval can be set in the settings. Choose between 1min, 5min, 15min(default), 30min, 1h, 6h, 12h or 24h.

  • “Arrow Right” to settings
  • “Arrows Down” to loading interval
  • “Service button” shortly (<2 seconds)
  • “Phil Down” chooses between the Saving interval times
  • Press: “Serve button” for >2 seconds until LCD screen flashes.

❗ Note: This setting is only available for meters with load drive enabled. TCP/IP and LoRa meters are available from factory with load operation enabled.

❗ Note: The LP variant of the Hyperion energy meter has a fixed load interval of 15 minutes. This cannot be changed.

Setting the Converter Ratio

The converter ratio can be set directly on the Hyperion energy counter by the control keys.

  • “Right Arrow” to settings
  • “Arrow Down” to CT/VT ratio
  • “Service Button” short press (<2 seconds)
  • “Right arrow” selects the digits
  • “Arrow Down” incrementally increases the Digits
  • Saving: “Serviced button” press for >2 seconds until the LCD screen flashes

The current converter ratio (CT ratio) can be changed from 5A: 5A to 20’000A:5A in 5Steps and 1A: 1A to 4'000A:1A in 1Steps.

The voltage converter ratio (VT ratio) can be adjusted from 100V: 100V to 36’000V:100V in 100V steps.

It is mandatory to indicate both the primary and secondary current of the transducer. A set ratio of 100:1 means that with a primary current of 100A, a secondary stream of 1A flows.

❗ Note: Make sure that you adjust the converter ratio to your converter and that it is defined according to the application range. Incorrect settings and/or incorrectly dimensioned converters distort the energy measurement.

Note: for projects with mandatory loading certification PTB­A 50.7: You only have 2048 entries for a converter factor change (or time change, S0 pulse value change or S0 impulse length change) before the meter falls into a technically invalid state and converter ratios can only be made once per load interval.

S0 Impulse value

The pulse value can be set in the settings.

  • “Right Arrow” to settings
  • “Arrow Down” to S0 Pulse Value
  • “Service Button” short press (<2 seconds)
  • “Arrow Down” chooses between 1, 10, 100, 1000 and 10000 Imp / kWh
  • Saving: “Serviced button” for >2 seconds until LCD screen flashes

Note: for projects with mandatory load-rate certification PTB­A 50.7: you only have 2048 entries for a pulse value change (or time change, converter factor change or S0 pulse length change) before the meter falls into a non-technically valid state and a S0 impuls value change can only be made once per load interval.

Setting up the energy indicator

Set what to display on the display. You have the option to choose between the following settings.

Energie pro Tarif:

  • One: The Hyperion displays the received or delivered energy for each tariff on the main menu pages “Wirkenenergy Import”, “Werkenergy Export”, “Blind Energy Import” and “Blindenergie Export”.
  • Off: On the main menu pages mentioned, only the total over all tariffs and the selected setting in “Energy per Phase” will be displayed.

  • Off: On the main menu pages mentioned, only the total for all tariffs and the selected setting will be displayed in “Energy per tariff”.

Overview

Depending on which settings have been made for displaying energy imports/exports, the submenu of the energy indicators is structured as follows.Screenshot 2024-03-07 131254

The following legend applies:

  • Green: Only the “Energy per Phase” option is enabled.
  • Orange: Only the option “Energy per tariff” is enabled.
  • Red: Both options are enabled.

Configuration Interfaces

The Hyperion can be equipped with different interfaces. However, only one interface is possible per counter.

Interface

The Hyperion optionally has one of the following interfaces:
  • LoRaWAN®
  • mioty

❗ Note: A Hyperion power meter has only one of these interfaces.
The hyperion can be configured directly on the counter via the touch sensitive buttons. ##M-Bus

The M-Bus interface is constructed according to the standard EN 13757­2,­3 (formerly EN1434­3). The Hyperion M-bus can thus communicate with all M-Bus capable devices. The M-Bus interface is integrated in the energy meter and is protected from pollution and manipulation. The interface is located at the back of the counter on Pin 1[3] (+) and Pin 2[4] (­).

Settings from Work

Configuration via MB-Connect

The Hyperion M-Bus can also be configured with our own MB-Connect software.

S0 Impulse Output

The S0 pulse output meets the EN 62053-31 standard (DIN 83864). Each hyperion has a S0 pulse output and is therefore able to communicate with devices that can receive and evaluate such impulses. The interface is located at the back of the counter on Pin 6 and Pin 7. The switch is a high loadable Opto Power MOSFET 5–60VAC or VDC.

The S0­puls output is potential-free.

❗ Note: attention must be paid to the polishing.

  • Error code 

Error

If you find an error with Hyperion, please refer to the list of the most common errors below.

Inconsistencies in the energy measurement of the Hyperion Energy Counter

Starting position: One or more phase streams have a minus prefix.
Solution: Check that the connections “S1↑” and “S2↓” (“Lx↑” or “Lx↓” for the direct meter) are correctly connected for the respective phases. “S1↑” (“Lx↑”) is always on the web side, “S2↓” (”Lx↓”) must always be attached on the consumer/ producer side.

⚠️ DANGER: When checking and adjusting the phase connections of the meter, all conductors to which the meter is connected must be voltage-free. Touching parts under tension is life-threatening!


Starting position: The meter measures too much / too little energy

Solution 1: Check the current converter ratio as well as the voltage converters ratio. These ratios must be consistent with the current/voltage converters used.

Solution 2: Check the correct connection of the counter. A phase which leads a negative current counts the energy on the export register.


❗ Note: Note that if the counter is used as a collector, the total energy may differ from the sum energy of the subsequent energy counters. The sum energy is filled with the multiple of the single counter error.

Incorrect consumption indicator on converter counter

Initial situation: The Hyperion displays a factor higher / lower consumption
Solution 1: Ensure that the current transformer ratio on the Hyperion is matched to your selected current transformer.
current transformer is matched. The current transformer ratio can be configured on the Hyperion using the arrow keys.

5 / 5 to 20,000 / 5 A, in 5 A steps. 1 / 1 to 4,000 / 1 A, in 1 A steps.


Solution 2: Check whether the short-circuit jumper in the secondary measuring circuit has been removed correctly.

Behavior during consumption and supply

Der Hyperion erfasst die Energie in negativer (Lieferung) und positiver (Bezug) Richtung in separaten Registern. Die Zählerstände vom Bezug und Lieferung werden nicht “heruntergezählt” resp. verringert.

The "Active energy consumption" register refers to the energy supplied or consumed by the electricity company. The customer receives an energy bill for this from the electricity company. The "Active energy supply" register refers to the energy that is fed back into the grid (e.g. photovoltaic system).

Practical example:

How do the two registers in the Hyperion behave?
Current consumption of the housing estate at 13:00
Phase L1: 10kw
Phase L2: 20kw
Phase L3: 30kw
Total ==> 60kw

Feed-in PV system residential estate at 13:00
Phase L1: 25kw
Phase L2: 25kw
Phase L3: 25kW
Total ==> 75kW


In this case, 15kw is currently being fed back into the grid and the "Active energy consumption" register remains at a standstill for L1 and L2 and does not count up. The "Active energy supply" register is currently incrementing for L1 and L2, as energy is being fed back into the grid. Energy is still being drawn from L3. "Active energy supply" therefore stops at L3 and "Active energy consumption" is incrementing.

The Hyperion provides incorrect values via the pulse output

Check whether the pulse rate and pulse duration of the Hyperion energy meter match your pulse receiver. The pulse rate and pulse duration can be configured on the Hyperion using the buttons.

Possible pulse rates / duration:
Pulse rates: 1, 10, 100, 1000 and 10000 pulses per kWh / kvarh.
Pulse durations: 2ms, 10ms, 30ms, 40ms and 120ms.

The following values are set ex works

The tariff switching does not work

Tariff 1 is active ex works. Check whether you have connected the tariff switch correctly.

Note: Only the double tariff is available for the load profile according to PTBA 50.7. Tariff changes are not applied until the next recording interval.

⚠️ DANGER: When changing the tariff connections, all conductors to which the meter is connected must be de-energized. Touching live parts is life-threatening!

The LoRa communication interface is not working

  • Make sure that the meter is registered on your Lora network server.
  • Make sure that the LoRa readout interval is adapted to the available bandwidth. Many LoRa devices in the same network can interfere with each other's communication.
  • Make sure that the meter can synchronize the time via LoRa.

Measurement accuracy instructions

Requirements for the user within the meaning of § 23 of the measurement and oak regulations

he measurement and oak regulation obliges those who are, in the sense of the law, users of a measuring instrument to measure and to handle measuring instruments in such a way that the accuracy of the measuring is guaranteed. Users within the meaning of the Eichrecht, taking into account the regulation of market rolls by the Measuring Stations Operations Act, are:
  • Measuring device user:

- Users of measuring equipment are the operators of the measuring stations within the meaning of the Act on the operation of measurement stations.

  • Measurement user:

Users of measurement values are those who, in accordance with the Measurement Stations Operations Act, carry out measurements and transfer of measuring values to authorized third parties, as well as carry out billing of network usage and energy supply.

The user of measuring instruments is responsible for providing the user of the measuring value with the opportunity to inform himself of the requirements explained below.

Transparency of use

The user of the measurement value shall make transparent for the electricity customers in which the equipment is used the performance of the work- and, if applicable, performance values charged. “Transparent” means, through information, creating the conditions for electricity customers to be able to understand the existence of the billing items in the electricity bill, by means of legal advertising of the equipment used. In particular, it should also be informed that:
  • Which of the values displayed by the devices can be used for accounting purposes
  • That not displayed values cannot be used for accounting purposes and that shown values that are the results of non-legally relevant functions have a purely informative nature and cannot also be used to account.

Furthermore, the measuring instruments must be used in such a way that the readability of the calculation-relevant measurement results and the error messages is also given to electricity customers.

Tariffing

Only tariffs T1 and T2 can be used for the use of the counter stands in accordance with the law.

In doing so, it is necessary to observe § 33 MessEG:

In this regard, the user of the measurement value shall ensure that invoices, insofar as they are based on measurements, can be easily understood by the person for whom the invoice is intended to verify the indicated measures, and shall provide appropriate facilities, if necessary, for that purpose. It must always be ensured that all the registers used for billing are also displayed on the display.

Error messages / timing error messages:

Error messages:

The accompanying documents describe the device-functioning errors that the meters mentioned here can diagnose and indicate themselves. In the event of one or more of the events referred to as “legally relevant error messages”, the use in accordance with the law is no longer guaranteed and the stored measurement results are to be considered dubious. The equipment must be upgraded, repaired, if necessary, and sealed if it is to continue to be used for billing purposes.

Time setting:

In the case of meters with a remote-controlled variable internal clock, technical measures must be taken to ensure that it is possible to verify on the meters, by means of legal indicators, whether the clock has been adjusted during a billing period affecting the accuracy of measurement and billing. With the meters mentioned here, this is achieved as follows:

- A command to adjust the counter clock via one of the existing interfaces will always result in an entry in the electronic logbook. The current registration period after the time of the clock setting will be marked invalid.

- The newly started registration period ends on the next full multiplier of the registration duration (at x hours 15, 30, 45 or 00) based on the newly set counter time.

Use of communication interfaces

The communications interfaces of the meters are not legal. The measurement values of the meters allowed herein may only be used for accounting purposes, as it is in accordance with Appendix 2, Section 8.1 of the Measurement and Oak Regulations an unchanged repetition of the results of the measurements displayed on the display of the meter allowed therein.

Time Synchronization 

The meters mentioned here synchronize with the existing communication interface. The user must ensure that the counter's time is synchronized with the statutory time in order to be able to use the counter status passes in accordance with the law. The following requirements must be met before sending the data telegram with date and time:
  • The M-bus must be free to communicate.
  • The Ethernet connection must be free for communication.
  • As a time source, the statutory time must be used.

If the conditions cannot be fulfilled, the counter stand passes may not be used for billing-related purposes.

Measurement results not permitted for accounting purposes

Measurement values other than those specified in the type-examination certificate shall not be used for calculation purposes.

Log function

The meters mentioned here always have a technical logbook, which can only be deleted in violation of a manufacturer's access protection.

Hyperion

The following are the menu points of the Hyperion Energy Counter that are relevant to the load operation. The load of the Hyperion energy meter is certified for PTB­A 50.7. For the LP version of the Hyperion Energy Counter the following information applies to tariff setting, time synchronization, converter settings and S0 pulse output.

Current or voltage converter ratio

These ratios each result from the factor applied in the capture of the energy and are to be adjusted correspondingly with the current or voltage converters used. Changing the current converter and the voltage converter ratio is only possible via the SRVC button. The SRVC key can be secured from unauthorized interference with a sealing.

Real-time clock

The real-time clock shows the currently valid device time. If the counter does not automatically synchronize, we recommend setting UTC time as local summer/winter time is not supported. It is possible to change the real-time clock using the SRVC button. The SRVC key can be secured from unauthorized interference with a sealing.

S0 Pulse Output 

The pulse output can be changed between the following settings:
  • Effective Energy Diff: All active energy, whether receipt or delivery is spent without distinction.
  • Blind energy Diff: All blindenergie, whether receipt or delivery is spent without distinction.
  • Efficient energy import: Only accrued efficient energy is spent over S0. All other energies are ignored.
  • Blind energy Import: Only related blindenergie is spent over S0. All other energies are ignored.
  • Operating energy export: Only delivered operating energy is spent via S0. All other energies are ignored.
  • Blind energy Export: Only delivered blindenergie is spent over S0. All other energies are ignored.


The interface emits an electric impulse per set energy consumption. This pulse can be used to calculate the amount of energy. The interface can be configured as follows:

  • Impulse Value: Set the number of impulses to be spent per unit of energy.
  • Pulse length: Set how long the pulse should be.

The S0 pulse output settings can only be changed using the SRVC button. The SRVC key can be secured from unauthorized interference with a sealing.

Use for accounting purposes

In the LP version of the Hyperion energy meter, only the performance energy measurements for calculation purposes are allowed. These measurements can be read out at any time via the display or the counter interface.

All other measurements displayed on the display are purely informative and may not be used for billing purposes. All measurements that are not displayed on the display and can be read through an interface are also purely informative and must not be used for billing purposes.

Description 

The loading functionality according to PTB-A 50.7 consists of 2 sub-functionalities:
  • The actual load memory for recording the measurement values. This is designed as a so-called “ring memory”, i.e. after reaching the maximum possible number of entries, the oldest 27 entries are overwritten. The overwriting is carried out as a result of technical circumstances in groups of 27 entries each.
  • The logbook memory (technical logbook) for recording changes to the parameters affecting the loading process. This logbook cannot be affected without the destruction of the seal stickers. The logged changes include: 
  • change of time / date
  • change of voltage or current converter factor
  • change of S0 pulse value, S0 impulse duration

Each of the above values can only be changed once per recording period. A new change is only possible after the start of the next interval.

A maximum of 2048 logbook entries are available. These cannot be deleted or overwritten. If the capacity of the logbook memory is exhausted, the meter falls into an invalid calibration state after changing one of the above parameters again.

This is indicated by the "PTB NV" icon on the display. Furthermore, all other load profile entries are assigned the invalid status "NG".

Note: The "PTBNV" status cannot be reversed for legal reasons.

Per recording period

In the LP versions of the Hyperion energy meter, the recording interval of the load is parametered to 15 minutes and cannot be changed.

Time synchronization

The time synchronization is done by means of a defined command via the M-Bus / TCP-IP interface of the counter, the deposit of a legally recognized time server with the statutory time or the keys on the counter. Each time and date information is sent to the counter. The synchronization is done immediately and, if done via the M-Bus interface, the counter receives a “ACK” message. The time can only be synchronized or set once per recording period (15min). The statutory time must be adjusted. A time change is distinguished as follows:
  • Time Synchronization: Any time setting that deviates by less than 9 seconds from the previously valid time will be considered normal time synchronisation. In this case, the counter will not create a log entry.
  • Timing: If the real-time clock is set for the first time or the deviation is more than 9 seconds from the previous time, a log entry is created and the current load is marked with “NG”.

The internal buffer (speed reserve) forining system time during a voltage failure is sufficient for at least 18 days (the counter must have been in operation for a minimum of 2 hours).

Note: The Hyperion LP has internal timestamps which will be reset every time the real-time clock is synchronized. If the counter is turned on again after more than 2 weeks without voltage and the internal buffer is not used yet, the counter will still detect the missing 2-week synchronization and mark all further load entry as invalid “NG”.

The TNV, TNS or NTP messages can appear on the display. The following diagram shows when which message appears and what this means for the validity of the measurements: 

Note: According to the PTB-A 50.7 certification, the time must be synchronized at least once every 2 weeks for meters with an interface. If the counter is not synchronized within 2 weeks, all loading entries are marked with “NG” after the 2 weeks until the next sync occurs. Furthermore, the message TNS appears on the display.


 Note: From factory the internal Hyperion LP real-time watch buffer is always unloaded and thus to be considered as “longer than 18 days voltage-free” (TNV).

Tariff setting

A change in the tariff in the LP version (PTB 50.7 certified) of the Hyperion energy meter is accepted only at the time of the start of a new recording period, i.e. the tarif applied at that time on the clamps 9 – 11 is valid from that moment at least until the beginning of the next recording periode. Only the double rate is available for the LP version.

The tariff is controlled via the 3 tariff inputs (connections 9­11) at the back of the counter.

Note: After a voltage loss, it may happen that during the first recording interval the incorrect rate is displayed on the display. This first record will in any case be marked as “NG” and the tariff setting will again be correctly adopted in the next regular interval by tariff entries NE, E1, E2.


Note: Only the double tariff is available for loading according to PTB­A 50.7. Tariff settings will not be adopted until the next recording interval.

External interface reading

The output via the external interface can be used for billing purposes. The interfaces transmit the same information that is displayed on the display.

Storage Capacity 

The storage on the device is sufficient for:
  • Continuous entries of the load profile: 105378

- This corresponds to a period of approximately 3 years with an interval of 15 minutes. Once the last entry is made, the counter deletes the first 26 entries and starts from scratch. If these 26 entries are rewritten, the next 26 are deleted etc. As a result, only the latest 105352 entries are available and older ones are lost.

  • Entries Log: 2048

- Any change in the converter ratio, the real-time clock or the S0 pulse value / pulse length results in an entry. If all entries are exhausted, the hyperion falls into a technically invalid condition after re-changing one of the above factors in accordance with requirement PTBA 50.7 and must be replaced.

Voltage loss and restart

Voltage loss

All load values are stored in a fixed 15-minute grid, i.e. XX:00, XX:15, XX:30 and XX:45. After a voltage loss, the recording is continued accordingly.


An example:
  • Current time 07:37 => last entry was posted at 07:30
  • voltage loss until 08:12
  • Next entry is posted at 08:15 (This entry is automatically marked as “NG”)
  • The entries 07:45 and 08:00 are missing

After each voltage loss, the first load is marked as “NG”. If the internal time buffer was able to maintain the watch (going reserve not used), all further loads are not marked with “NG”.

Restart

In rare cases, an internal restart of the counter may occur. When such a restart is performed, the corresponding loading will be marked as “NG”.

Display loading

The load display displays the last entry on each call. If ever all 105378 entries of the load line are occupied, the Hyperion automatically deletes the oldest 26 entries. The numbering of the next saved load does not jump back to 0. Rather, it is being continued.

Example: Your Hyperion has already saved 200’000 loads. If you go through the loading entries you will first see the load 200’000. But if you go back 105’378 entries you will jump back to the load rate 200’000. The data of the loads 1­94’622 have now been deleted.

The following information will be displayed on the display:
- Index of the displayed entry. The entries start with index 1 and can be scrolled through by pressing the “Arrow Down” button (chronologisch absteigend).

- 05.01.2021 10:45:00: Time stamp of entry. Current date/time. This depends on the set device time.

NG: Validity flag. In the following situations, a load entry will be marked as invalid “NG”:
  • If a manipulation of the described device parameters is performed, the corresponding recording interval is marked as invalid “NG”.
  • The first load entry after starting the counter is always invalid, as the assumption of a power failure applies.
  • Entries are marked with “NG” if no time synchronization has been done within 2 weeks since the last time sync.

Valid entries are not labelled.
T1 / T2 00000000.0 kWh: Counter level Energy register per tariff. Status of the energy register at the time of the entry.

Note: Only the double tariff is available for loading according to PTB­A 50.7. Tariff settings will not be adopted until the next recording interval.

Imp/Exp: Switch between the reference/delivery register display. With a long push (>2s) of the “Arrow Down” button, you can switch between the display of the reference (import) or delivery register (export).
