2. Informazioni sulla sicurezza
AVVERTIMENTO: Installation and maintenance of this device should only be performed by a qualified electrician. Incorrect installation can lead to electric shock, fire, or damage to the device and other equipment.
- Scollegare sempre l'alimentazione prima di installare o effettuare la manutenzione del contatore.
- Assicurarsi che tutti i collegamenti siano sicuri e conformi alle normative elettriche locali.
- Non superare la corrente e il vol specificatitage valutazioni del dispositivo.
- Il dispositivo è progettato per l'uso in ambienti interni asciutti.
3. Prodotto finitoview
The Eltako EVA12-32A is an AC current meter designed for DIN rail mounting. It measures active energy consumption and displays it on an integrated screen. The device stores consumption data in non-volatile memory.
Caratteristiche principali:
- Energy consumption display with integrated screen.
- Measures active energy as an AC current meter.
- Data stored in non-volatile memory.
- Bassa perdita in standby: solo 0.5 W.
- Progettato per il montaggio su guida DIN.

4. Installazione
The Eltako EVA12-32A is designed for easy mounting on a DIN rail within an electrical panel. It is strongly recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Fasi di installazione:
- Disconnessione dell'alimentazione: Before starting, ensure the main power supply to the electrical panel is completely disconnected. Verify with a voltagetester.
- Montaggio: Snap the meter onto the DIN rail in the desired position.
- Cablaggio: Connect the phase (L) and neutral (N) wires according to the markings on the device.
- The terminals labeled L are for the input and output of the phase wire. The device measures current flowing through this connection. Ensure the cross-section of these wires is equal to or greater than the existing phase cable in the electrical panel.
- The terminal labeled N is for the neutral connection, which powers the meter. A smaller cross-section cable (e.g., 1.5mm²) can be used for this connection.
- Maximum cable size without terminals is 6mm². Note that the cable insertion depth is relatively small.
- Connessioni sicure: Serrare saldamente tutte le viti dei terminali per evitare collegamenti allentati, che potrebbero causare surriscaldamento o malfunzionamento.
- Ripristino dell'energia: Una volta che tutti i collegamenti sono sicuri e verificati, ripristinare l'alimentazione al quadro elettrico.

5. Funzionamento
After successful installation and power-up, the Eltako EVA12-32A will begin measuring and displaying energy consumption.
Visualizzazione e navigazione:
- The integrated screen displays various parameters, including active energy (kWh), current (A), voltage (V), and power (W).
- Use the "MODE" and "SELECT" buttons (refer to Figure 2) to cycle through the displayed values and access historical data (e.g., hourly, daily, monthly, yearly consumption).
- The meter stores consumption data in non-volatile memory, ensuring data retention even during power outages.
Note importanti:
- The display is not backlit. For optimal readability, ensure the meter is installed in a well-lit area.
- This meter is not MID-certified and therefore not approved for monetary electricity billing in Europe. It is intended for informational purposes and internal consumption monitoring.
6. Manutenzione
The Eltako EVA12-32A is designed for maintenance-free operation. However, periodic checks are recommended.
- Pulizia: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the meter with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Verifica della connessione: Periodically, and only after disconnecting power, verify that all electrical connections remain tight and free from corrosion.
- Condizioni ambientali: Assicurarsi che l'ambiente operativo rimanga entro gli intervalli di temperatura e umidità specificati.
7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Il display è vuoto | No power supply; incorrect wiring; device malfunction. | Check power supply to the meter. Verify wiring connections (L and N). If power is present and wiring is correct, the device may be faulty. |
| Letture errate | Incorrect wiring; faulty current path; device malfunction. | Ensure phase (L) and neutral (N) are correctly connected. Verify that the current is flowing through the L terminals as intended. |
| Display difficile da leggere | Luce ambientale insufficiente. | Relocate the meter to a brighter area or provide additional lighting. The display is not backlit. |
