The table presents the main technical indicators and quantities.

Design features

The TsE6803V meter, in terms of the type of metering of consumed electricity, has no fundamental differences from devices of a similar class. At the same time, there are a number of functional features.

The device is intended exclusively for single-tariff electricity calculations.

The counting device itself is available in two versions:

1. Electronic.
2. Electromechanical.

It has non-volatile and long-term memory, which makes it possible to check the device’s readings even if there is no electricity.

In this meter, the incoming voltage and current are multiplied and converted into pulses. The pulse frequency corresponds to the power consumption. Pulse counting is performed in different ways, depending on the design of the device:

• Microprocessor;
• Electromechanics.

Current readings are displayed on an electric display or visible in a special viewing window.

There are also design features: it is possible to connect various testing devices directly through the terminal box contacts. It is impossible to confuse them, since the manufacturer has pre-provided special terminals for connection.

We have already said that this model is equipped with long-term memory in case of lack of external power supply. In addition to the latest device readings, you can see the current date and time, as well as the tariff.

The counter status is visible visually. For this purpose, two LED indicators are displayed on the front panel.

When the device is connected, the “Network” LED indicator lights up.

As soon as a load appears in the network, the LED pulse counting indicator “3200 imp/(kW-h)” flashes and starts blinking. It is from this moment that the readings of electricity consumption begin.

Explanation of markings

The user can independently select the device he needs, based on its passport data or from its markings on the central panel.

The applied markings contain all the necessary information. The main thing is to know what it means.

R31, R32 - if there is such a marking, then you need to understand that the device is screwed on with screws, or it has hooks for attaching to a DIN rail.

On such a grooved strip you can install TsE6803V electric meters and circuit breakers at the same time.

Ш33 - this designation marks devices intended for installation in panels. They are fastened with special bolt anchors.

Varieties of this counter

Two varieties of this device are available, differing in the design of the housing.

But there are a number of conditions:

• The device must be installed correctly;
• Recommended safety regulations have been followed;
• There should be no emergency overloads.

Important! The manufacturer initially provided a guarantee for the operation of the meter for four years of continuous operation. The warranty period begins from the date of manufacture of the electric meter.

Basic connection types

For a specialist, connecting the TsE6803V energy meter does not present any particular difficulties. As a matter of fact, already on the terminal cover on the back side there is a diagram for connecting a meter of a specific modification. To see it, the cover must be removed.

Energomera devices can be connected according to three schemes.

The most popular option is to connect the meter directly:

In other schemes, a three-phase meter is connected using transformers.

The figure below shows a diagram with the connection of three transformers:

Calibration interval

Like any measuring device, the electricity meter needs periodic verification in specialized workshops.

The verification periods are indicated in the meter passport.

As a rule, for all meters of the TsE6803 series, the calibration interval is 16 years from the date of its factory calibration.

Such a fairly long period allows the owner not to waste time on the annual calibration of the device that records electricity.

Specifications

When purchasing an electric meter, be sure to familiarize yourself with the technical characteristics of the TsE6803v. They are indicated in the device passport. For example, for the TsE6803v P32 meter, the technical parameters must correspond to the following data:

• accuracy class – 1;
• number of tariffs – 1;
• input current frequency – 50 Hz;
• rated current – ​​5 A;

• sensitivity of the accounting mechanism – from 20 to 40 mA;
• operating temperature range – from + 400С to – 700С;
• protection class against external penetration of moisture and dust – IP51;
• Dimensions of the device – 141 x 170 x 52.

Life time

The manufacturer in the accompanying documentation indicates the maximum service life of the Energomer TsE6803v meter - 30 years. This period can be maintained subject to unconditional compliance with safety regulations, the absence of emergency overloads and the correct installation of the device.

Important! provides a guarantee of trouble-free operation of the meter for 4 years of operation, starting from the date and year of manufacture.

Calibration interval

After a certain amount of time the electric meter has been in use, the electricity supplier service must carry out verification of the device. The calibration interval for TsE6803v is indicated by the manufacturer in its passport. If a document is lost, it is customary to consider the verification interval for TsE6803v issued in the period from August 15, 1997. to 01.12.2000, – 8 years. For devices manufactured later, the verification interval is 16 years.

Meter cost

The price of TsE6803v electric meters of certain models is not very different in all regions of Russia. Below is a table of the average cost of three-phase single-tariff devices.

Advantages of the device

Devices of the TsE6803 series are in great demand. Devices:

• counter TsE6803VM;

• counter TsE6803V;
• counter TsE6803P.

They have proven themselves well when used in industrial conditions as the highest quality and most reliable devices. They are also successfully used in networks with a voltage of 220 V.

What looks especially attractive is that it guarantees trouble-free operation of its meters for 30 years in everyday production use.

Possible malfunctions and their elimination

Of course, like any high-precision equipment, the TsE6803V meter can fail. The main causes of the malfunction are lack of indication or stoppage of the counting mechanism.

The “Network” indicator does not light up

The most common cause of such a malfunction lies in poor contact of the supply wires.

The device must be turned off from the power supply and all clamps must be tightened additionally. After this, you can turn on the counter again and check its operation.

If after this the “Network” indicator does not light up, the device must be dismantled and sent to a service center.

The “Network” indicator is on, but the device does not count

In this case, the only correct solution is that the device needs repair.

Since this is clearly an internal fault, there is no point in trying to repair the device yourself. If you open the meter yourself, the consumer will face considerable trouble. Sanctions for unauthorized violation of sealing are usually a fine and quite high.

Hence the conclusion - there is no need to try to repair the device with your own hands. It's better to call a specialist. He will remove the device, pack it and send it to a specialized service center.

How to take readings

To correctly account for electricity, you need to take into account the technical characteristics of the meter.

Devices that were produced from 1997 to 1999. - old model and six digits are visible on the display in a special window.

The latest models already have seven-digit displays.

The last digit is usually separated by a comma and is not taken into account in the device’s readings.

Energy consumption is constantly metered, and payment is made once a month. Payment is based on the energy consumed in sq./hours multiplied by the current tariff in the given area.

How to take readings

It won’t be difficult to figure out the order in which readings are taken. To do this, write out the integer value located before the decimal point (yellow rectangle), then from the number on the display we subtract the number a month ago (sometimes it is written in the receipt of the last payment) and multiply by the price for 1 kW.

We recommend: Electricity meter Neva 102 and 105 - differences and characteristics of devices

The number(s) located in the red rectangle are not taken into account for electricity metering.

Meter installation

For TsE6803V devices, installation occurs in the same way as with other utility metering devices.

But it wouldn’t hurt to check the device for various types of damage and the integrity of the seals.

The device registration procedure remains unchanged. The owner of the building or tenant of the premises is required to enter into an agreement with the electricity supplier. Upon conclusion of such an agreement, a bank account number will be issued for payment.

After this, the consumer will have in his hands the technical documentation approved by the provider. The documents must separately state:

1. Counter type.
2. Model of circuit breaker.
3. Wire sections.
4. Mounting type (shield or DIN rail).

The actual installation of the meter and its connection to the network is carried out by an electrician from the electricity supplier.

It would be a good idea to check the quality of the work. At the very least, the job should be done neatly without any insulation ends protruding from the terminal block.

Upon completion of installation work, the device is sealed, which is reflected in the acceptance certificate. The act itself is signed by two parties - the consumer and the energy sales representative.

Modifications of the Energomer TsE6803V line

Each series of the Energomer TsE6803V meter differs in technical characteristics and operational requirements. All this is clearly encrypted in the labeling:

Thus, when buying a TsE6803V meter, you choose the 1st accuracy class and electricity metering at one tariff. The case can be made in variations Sh33, that is, mounted on a panel, and there are also P31 and P32 - for installation on a DIN rail.
