K Electric KE-P 5 Meter

Installation

1. 1Wire the RS-485 A and B terminals of the K'Electric KE-P 5 meter to the corresponding terminals on your ModbusCloud gateway (MCG or MLP series).
2. 2Set the Modbus slave address on the KE-P 5 meter using its front panel or configuration tool, and note the address for later use.
3. 3Confirm the meter baud rate is set to 19200, matching the default for this template.
4. 4Log in to the ModbusCloud portal, add your gateway, and import the K'Electric KE-P 5 template from the template library.
5. 5Enter the Modbus slave address you configured on the meter and save the device settings.
6. 6Verify that live readings such as voltage, current, and power appear correctly on the dashboard before closing the electrical panel.

Things to watch for

01

I see no data on the dashboard after importing the template. What should I check?

Verify that the RS-485 wiring polarity (A and B) is correct and that the baud rate on the meter matches 19200. Also confirm the Modbus slave address in the template matches the address set on the meter.

02

Why do I see multiple total active power registers in the documentation?

Registers 4157 through 4160 may represent different aggregation types such as instantaneous total or demand period total. Consult the K'Electric manual for your specific model to determine which register suits your application.

03

Do I need a termination resistor on the RS-485 bus?

If the KE-P 5 is the last device on the RS-485 bus or the cable run exceeds approximately 100 meters, add a 120 ohm termination resistor across the A and B terminals at both ends of the bus.

04

Which data format do the registers use?

All measurement registers use float32 (IEEE 754) format, occupying two consecutive 16-bit Modbus registers. The template already accounts for this, so no manual byte order configuration is needed in ModbusCloud.
