≤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.
DEM2A304 100 A Single-Phase DIN-Rail Energy Meter with M-Bus and TOU
DEM2A304 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. Battery-backed RTC supports four TOU tariffs across eight time periods by default, plus external tariff switching.

Product Highlights
100 A M-Bus Metering with Fast Data Refresh and TOU
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.
RTC-Based TOU Tariffs
Battery-backed RTC supports four TOU tariffs across eight time periods by default, combined with external dual-tariff switching through a volt-free digital input.
Flexible Energy Calculation
Supports forward + reverse (absolute value), forward − reverse (algebraic sum), forward-only and reverse-only energy calculation modes for different submetering requirements.
Internal Battery and RTC Timekeeping
An internal battery maintains RTC timekeeping through supply interruptions, so tariff switching keeps its schedule without relying on mains power.
