WM5 96 is a brand new instrument with a high level of performances
and connection capability. Actually, WM5 96 is a synergy of digital
components that, coordinated by an ARM
® processor, allows the user
to perform class 0.2 measurements for current and voltage, the man-
agement of 3 serial ports, 8 analogue outputs, 12 digital inputs, 16
alarms and a complete and functional management of the energy
meters tariffs. The ARM
® -based microprocessors are used in the up-
to-date technology such as the palmtop computers: this makes of
WM596 a real computer at the service of the electrical parameters
analysis and of the electrical tariff management, even the more com-
plex one.
The front optical port allows a fast and practical communication
between PC and instrument. Thanks to the WM5Soft software it’ll be
possible to read the measurements and programm the instrument
even if the latter is already installed on the electrical board.
We suggest you to keep the original packing
in case it is necessary to return the
instrument to our Technical Service
Department. In order to achieve the
best results with your instrument, we
recommend you to read this instruction man-
ual carefully. If the instrument is used in a
manner not specified by the producer, the
protection provided by the instrument may be
impaired. Maintenance: to keep the instru-
ment clean, use a slightly damp cloth; do not
use any abrasives or solvents. We recom-
mend to disconnect the instrument before
cleaning it.

WM5 thanks to its great flexibility
allows to set in the menu (pls see
the relevant section) also the mod-
ules being installed in the base (display mod-
ule). In order to make the programming of the
modules easier, it is advisable to note the
identification code (ex. AO2050) and the rele-
vant installation slots (A, B, etc.): we suggest
to fill in the special module on the last page of
this manual.
