When connecting the meter through a serial converter (RS485) for testing, please be aware that because of not
implementing the complete Modbus infrastructure, there will be a need to put an additional resistor (120 ohms/ 0.25 watts)
across the terminals (23 & 24) on the meter side.

For the registers used in the meter and how to interpreted the data, please use the Modbus register map on the next pages.
