Provides the user manual for 78M6612 split-phase evaluation board. The manual includes the introduction of the product, system requirements, safety notes, firmware demo code introduction, installation method, calibration method, Windows graphical user interface (GUI) installation and use method, schematics, bill of materials and PCB layouts.
This manual describes the 78M6612 Split‑Phase Evaluation Board, an electrical measurement unit that uses the Teridian 78M6612 power‑and‑energy measurement IC. It covers package contents, system requirements, safety and ESD notes, firmware demo code, and testing procedures before shipping.
Key sections include installation (basic connection, relay configuration, optional UART and USB driver setup), calibration, a Windows‑based graphical user interface for data display, schematics, bill of materials, PCB layouts, ordering information and contact details. The document also provides wiring diagrams, connector pin assignments and CLI command references for advanced control.
| External power supply requirement | +12 VDC @ 1 A |

| Board power consumption from external supply | < 100 mA |
A PC with at least a 1 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, running Windows XP or Windows 2000, equipped with a USB port and a 1024 × 768 display.
It can be powered by the on‑board AC‑DC switcher or by an external +12 VDC supply; the board draws less than 100 mA from the external supply.
Live AC voltages must be treated with caution, standard ESD precautions are required, and the high‑side reference topology means the V3P3 pin is tied to neutral, creating a ground reference disparity.
