≤75 ms Communication Refresh
The controlled specification states an M-Bus communication refresh time of ≤75 ms for applications that require timely meter-side data updates.
DEM2A204 100 A Single-Phase DIN-Rail Energy Meter with M-Bus
DEM2A204 is a single-phase, direct-connected DIN-rail energy meter for 1P2W systems with a maximum current of 100 A and wired M-Bus communication in accordance with EN 13757-3. It is rated 120–230 V with a basic current of 5 A, measures Class 0.5 (Class C) active energy, and operates over −40°C to +70°C. The meter occupies 2P (36 mm) on a standard 35 mm DIN rail and is MID B+D certified by SGS UK. This model has no internal battery, RTC or TOU schedule; it provides externally switched dual-tariff metering only.

Product Highlights
100 A M-Bus Metering with Fast Data Refresh
Class 0.5 Active Energy Accuracy
Class 0.5 (Class C) active-energy and Class 1 (Class B) reactive-energy measurement in accordance with IEC 62053-21 and IEC 62053-24.
M-Bus System Integration
Two-way M-Bus communication in accordance with EN 13757-3, with default address 1, broadcast address 254 and address range 1–250 at 2400 bps (8E1), so the meter connects directly to an existing M-Bus concentrator loop without protocol conversion.
Externally Switched Dual Tariff
A volt-free digital input switches between two tariffs (open = tariff 1, closed = tariff 2). No internal battery, RTC or TOU schedule.
Flexible Energy Calculation
Supports forward + reverse (absolute value), forward − reverse (algebraic sum), forward-only and reverse-only energy calculation modes for different submetering requirements.
Battery-Free Design
No internal battery, RTC or TOU schedule. Externally switched dual-tariff input only, which reduces component count and removes battery replacement from the maintenance scope of a sealed meter.

FAQ
Product FAQ
What is DEM2A204?
DEM2A204 is a single-phase, direct-connected DIN-rail energy meter for 1P2W systems with a maximum current of 100 A and wired M-Bus communication in accordance with EN 13757-3. It is rated 120–230 V with a basic current of 5 A, measures Class 0.5 (Class C) active energy, and operates over −40°C to +70°C. The meter occupies 2P (36 mm) on a standard 35 mm DIN rail and is MID B+D certified by SGS UK. This model has no internal battery, RTC or TOU schedule; it provides externally switched dual-tariff metering only.
What communication protocol does it use?
M-Bus in accordance with EN 13757-3, bidirectional, 2400 bps fixed, 8 data bits / 1 stop bit / even parity, address default 1 with a range of 1–250 and broadcast address 254.
What is the maximum current?
The maximum current (Imax) is 100 A on a direct connection.
What is the active energy accuracy?
