change existing wiring.

Application & Benefits

• These Retrofit Panel Adapters (SWD Series)

allow the user to install a Bitronics M650

meter into virtually any switchboard panel.

This provides an upgrade to a reliable,

modern SCADA meter with full (serial

and/or Ethernet) Modbus or DNP3

communications capability.

• Easy installation. No re-wiring or de-

energizing translates into lower labor

costs, which makes the meter upgrade

feasible for many applications

• Especially good for applications where

there are old meters, asbestos wiring or

very tight regulations

• Less expensive solution than using

switchboard meters or A-base meters

Marketing and Sales Support

• Selection guide, data sheet, and order

guide available

Identifying the Proper Adapter

1. Determine existing meter information

• Meter manufacturer ( GE, Westinghouse…)

• Meter type or model (DS-64, D4B-3F…)

• Service configuration (4 Wire Y, 3 element, 3 Stator…)

2. Existing communication ( Pulse output, RS485 …)

3. Dimensions (L x W x H)

4. External options on M650 (Pulse output, Ethernet…)

Taking pictures of the existing meter will cover items 1, 2 and 3.

Send them into Bitronics for determining the correct adapter.

The “SUSI ID” app will send and organize these pictures for identification.

Finding the correct adapter is easy with the SUSI ID App

Ordering the Bitronics M650 in SUSI Adapter

• From the Bitronics 2014 Price and Order Guide select the M650 with

options that customer wants.

• Having identified the proper meter being replaced, and the

corresponding SUSI Adapter, add 0 plus the two digit code that

corresponds to that part taken from the amendment to the Price

Guide. This now is the part number to be ordered.

Example:

• M650M3P511 is the M650 part number. To be entered into a SUSI

adapter SWDG549-M to replace a GE DS-54, Form 9, 3-element meter.

New part number is M650M3P5110AH.
