The XTM35SA features terminal connections for power input, load output, and communication. The table below describes the terminal layout:
Terminal No. | Description |
---|---|
1 | Line Input (L) |
2 | Neutral Input (N) |
3 | Line Output (L) |

The XTM35SA can be connected to an Arduino UNO via the RS485 interface for data logging. Below is an example code snippet for reading energy data using the Modbus RTU protocol:
#include <ModbusMaster.h>
// Instantiate ModbusMaster object
ModbusMaster node;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial communication
node.begin(1, Serial); // Set Modbus slave ID to 1
}
void loop() {
uint8_t result;
uint16_t data;
// Read energy consumption (example register address: 0x0000)
result = node.readInputRegisters(0x0000, 1);
if (result == node.ku8MBSuccess) {
data = node.getResponseBuffer(0);
Serial.print("Energy Consumption: ");
Serial.print(data);
Serial.println(" kWh");
} else {
Serial.println("Error reading data");
}
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second before next read
}
Note: Replace the register address (
0x0000
) with the actual address for energy data as specified in the XTM35SA Modbus register map.
