Installation and configuration
Janitza UMG 103-CBM
Interface: RS485
- Ensure the absence of voltage and verify it.
- Terminate a long signal line with a 120 Ohm terminating resistor on the energy meter side.
- Connect the energy meter to the EnergyManager as shown in the following diagram. Ensure that A and B are connected correctly to the RS-485 interface on the EnergyManager.
- The Janitza UMG 103 is a converter meter. The meter must be programmed with the appropriate transformer ratio using the GridVis programming software supplied by the meter manufacturer. This requires a USB/RS485 cable and a notebook. Programming should be carried out on site in the installed state, as the meter loses its programming if the supply voltage is absent for a longer period of time.
- Restore the power supply.

Interface: RS485
Only installations with one tariff (tariff 1) are supported.
- Ensure the absence of voltage and verify it.
- Terminate a long signal line with a 120 Ohm terminating resistor on the energy meter side.
- Connect the meter to the EnergyManager as shown in the following diagram. Ensure that A37, B36 and C35 are connected correctly to the RS-485 interface on the EnergyManager.

Device search in SmartSetup
- Start the SmartSetup.
- In the Select devices drop-down menu, select or search for the Janitza driver.
- Select the interface to which the meter is connected.
- Click Add device to search
- Add further devices to the search if necessary.
- When the search list is complete, click Search for and install devices.
Correctly installed devices appear in the device list with the message: Device is installed. The list also shows the current generation data.
- If necessary, connect additional devices.
- Continue with the SmartSetup.
Correct error
The majority of communication problems are due to faulty cabling.
Meter is not found
- Check the connection of the device, rule out cable breaks in the connection cable.
- Replace A and B.
- Check the ground connection on the UMG 103.
- The connection cables should not be laid together with cable bundles with high current loads.
- Check, especially after resetting the energy meter, whether the following settings are stored in its configuration menu Communication:
- Baud rate: 19200 bps
- Parity: None
Energy meter was found, but is not sending any values or is not sending plausible values
- Check whether the energy meter is connected to the correct interface of the gateway.
- The correct converter ratio must be programmed into the UMG 103 using the GridVis software from Janitza
- must be programmed in. Follow the instructions in the section Connecting the Janitza UMG 103-CBM and contact the manufacturer if necessary
- the manufacturer if necessary.
- Compare the load measured via the gateway with the information on the display of the energy meter,
- if available.
- The connection cables should not be laid together with cable bundles with high current loads.
