Introduction
The multifunction energy analyzer SMART X96 series is a top new-generation intelligent panel meter, used not only in the
electricity transmission and power distribution system, but also in the power consumption measurement and analysis in
high voltage intelligent power grid.
This document provides operating, maintenance and installation instructions for the Eastron SMART X96 series. The unit
measures and displays the characteristics of single phase two wires, three phase three wires and three phase four wires
supplies, including voltage, frequency, current, power and active and reactive energy, imported or exported, Harmonic,
Power factor, Max. Demand etc. Energy is measured in terms of kWh, kVArh. Maximum demand current can be measured
over preset periods of up to 60minutes. In order to measure energy, the unit requires voltage and current inputs in
addition to the supply required to power the product. The requisite current input(s) are obtained via current transformers
The SMART X96 can be configured to work with a wide range of CTs, giving the unit a wide range of operation. Built-in
interfaces provide pulse and RS485 Modbus RTU outputs. Configuration is password protected.
