Direct connect voltage limits  
You can connect the meter’s voltage inputs directly to the phase voltage lines of the  
power system if the power system’s line-to-line or line-to-neutral voltages do not exceed  
the meter’s direct connect maximum voltage limits. The meter's voltage measurement  
inputs are rated by the manufacturer for up to 400 V L-N / 690 V L-L. However, the  
maximum voltage allowed for direct connection may be lower, depending on the local  
electrical codes and regulations. In US and Canada the maximum voltage on the meter  
voltage measurement inputs may not exceed 347 V L-N / 600 V L-L.  
If your system voltage is greater than the specified direct connect maximum voltage, you  
must use VTs (voltage transformers) to step down the voltages.

Voltage and current input wiring  
For wiring instructions and safety precautions, see the meter installation sheet that was  
Voltage input protection  
The meter’s voltage inputs must be wired to fuses/breakers and a disconnect switch. If  
using a voltage transformer (VT), both primary and secondary sides of the VT must be  
wired to fuses/breakers and disconnect switches.  
Clearly label the device’s disconnect circuit mechanism and install it within easy reach  
of the operator.  
The fuses / circuit breakers must be rated for the installation voltage and sized for the  
available fault current.  
Fuse for neutral terminal is required if the source neutral connection is not grounded.  
See the meter installation sheet for fuse ratings.  
Current input protection  
For all connected current inputs, use a CT shorting block to short-circuit the secondary  
leads of the CTs before removing the current input connections to the meter.  
NOTE: Ground any unused current inputs.

Chapter 3—Hardware Reference  
Balanced system considerations  
In situations where you are monitoring a balanced 3-phase load, you may choose to  
connect only one or two CTs on the phase(s) you want to measure, and then configure  
the meter so it calculates the current on the unconnected current input(s).  
NOTE: For a balanced 4-wire Wye system, the meter’s calculations assume that there is  
no current flowing through the neutral conductor.  
Balanced 3-phase Wye system with 2 CTs  
The current for the unconnected current input is calculated so that the vector sum for all  
three phase currents equal zero.  
Balanced 3-phase Wye or Delta system with 1 CT  
The currents for the unconnected current inputs are calculated so that their magnitude  
and phase angle are identical and equally distributed, and the vector sum for all three  
phase currents equal zero.  
NOTE: You must always use 3 CTs for 3-phase 4-wire center-tapped Delta or  
center-tapped open Delta systems.  
Control power wiring  
For wiring instructions and safety precautions, see the meter installation sheet that was  
The meter can be powered from an AC or DC power source.  
L1 and L2 are non-polarized. If using an AC power supply with neutral, connect  
neutral to the meter’s L2 terminal.  
Always use a fuse on L1. Fuse L2 when connecting an ungrounded neutral to the  
control power.  
If using a control power transformer, fuse both primary and secondary sides of the  
transformer.  
The fuses / circuit breakers must be rated for the installation voltage and sized for the  
available fault current.  
Communications  
This section provides additional information about the communications ports and  
topologies supported by the meter. You must wire and configure the RS-485 port in order  
to communicate with the meter.  
Serial communications  
The meter supports serial communications through the RS-485 port. Up to 32 devices can  
be connected on a single RS-485 bus.  
In an RS-485 network, there is one master device, typically an Ethernet to RS-485  
gateway. It provides the means for RS-485 communications with multiple slave devices  
(for example, meters). For applications that require only one dedicated computer to  
communicate with the slave devices, an RS-232 to RS-485 converter can be used as the  
master device.

RS-485 maximum cable length  
The total distance for devices connected on an RS-485 bus should not exceed 1200 m  
(4000 ft).  
RS-485 network configuration  
After you have wired the RS-485 port and powered up the meter, you must configure the  
serial communications port in order to communicate with the meter.  
Each device on the same RS-485 communications bus must have a unique address and  
all connected devices must be set to the same protocol, baud rate, and parity (data  
format).  
NOTE: To communicate with the meter using ION Setup, you must set the parity to  
“None” for all devices in the RS-485 network.  
For meters that do not have a display, you must first wire and configure each one  
separately before connecting these meters to the same RS-485 bus.

the meter is operational. The LED flashes at a variable, faster rate when the meter is  
communicating over a Modbus serial communications port.  
You cannot configure this LED for other purposes.  
NOTE: A heartbeat LED that remains lit and does not blink (or flash) indicates a  
possible hardware problem. In this case, power down the meter and reapply power. If  
the LED still does not blink or flash, contact Technical Support.  
Alarm / energy pulsing LED modes  
The (orange) alarm / energy pulsing LED can be configured for alarm notification or  
energy pulsing.  
When configured for alarm notification, this LED flashes when a high, medium or  
low priority alarm is active. This provides a visual indication of an active alarm  
condition, or an inactive but unacknowledged high priority alarm.  
When configured for energy pulsing, this LED flashes at a rate proportional to the  
amount of energy consumed. This is typically used to verify the meter’s accuracy.

This section describes the meter’s output features.  
The meter is equipped with one digital output port.  
After you wire the meter’s output ports, you can configure the port so you can use the  
meter to perform I/O functions.  
Digital output applications  
The digital output can be used in energy pulsing applications, where a receiving device  
determines energy usage by counting the kWh pulses coming from the meter’s digital  
output port.  
DANGER  
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH  
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical  
work practices. See NFPA 70E in the USA or applicable local standards.  
• Turn off all power supplying this device before working on it.  
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.  
• Do not exceed the device’s ratings for maximum limits.  
• Do not use this device for critical control or protection applications where human or  
equipment safety relies on the operation of the control circuit.  
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.  
NOTE: Be aware that an unexpected change of state of the digital outputs may result  
when the supply power to the meter is interrupted or after a meter firmware upgrade.

Alarm / energy pulsing LED setup  
The meter’s LED can be configured for alarm indication or energy pulsing.  
When set to detect alarms, the LED blinks to indicate an alarm condition. See “Alarm  
Priorities” on page 53 for a description of the LED behavior based on different alarms.  
When the LED is set to energy pulsing, the meter sends a readable pulse or signal  
based on the measured energy. This pulse can be used for accuracy verification or as  
an input to another energy monitoring system. The meter uses the pulse constant  
setting in pulses per k_h to determine the frequency and number of pulses sent to the  
LED (where k_h = kWh, kVARh or kVAh depending on the energy parameter selected).  
The LED setup screen allows you to configure the alarm / energy pulsing LED for  
alarming or energy pulsing applications.  
Configuring the LED or digital output for energy pulsing using  
ION Setup  
You can use the ION Setup to configure your meter’s LED or digital output for energy  
pulsing.

active.  
If the energy/alarm LED has been configured for alarms, the energy/alarm LED flashes  
when an alarm is active. See “Alarm / energy pulsing LED setup” on page 48 for more  
information.  
The power meter maintains a counter for each alarm to help keep track of the total  
number of occurrences (see Figure 7–1).  
Figure 7–1: Alarm Counters  
If you make changes to the basic power meter setup, all alarms are disabled to prevent  
undesired alarm operation. Confirm alarm configuration and enable required alarms.  
NOTE: Only alarms that apply to the selected power system configuration can be  
enabled.  
The available alarms for this power meter are described in the following sections.

Chapter 7—Alarms  
Many of the 1-second alarms are three-phase alarms. Alarm setpoints are evaluated for  
each of the three phases individually, but the alarm is reported as a single alarm. The  
alarm pickup occurs when the first phase exceeds the alarm pickup magnitude for the  
pickup time delay. The alarm is active as long as any phase remains in an alarm state.  
The alarm dropout occurs when the last phase drops below the dropout magnitude for the  
dropout time delay. See Figure 7–2 below.

EV1—The power meter records the date and time that the pickup setpoint and time delay  
were satisfied, and the maximum value reached (Max1) during the pickup delay period  
(T). Also, the power meter performs any tasks assigned to the event such as operation  
of a digital output.  
EV2—The power meter records the date and time that the dropout setpoint and time  
delay were satisfied, and the maximum value reached (Max2) during the alarm period.  
Unary Alarms  
The power meter has four unary alarms. These alarms help alert you when the meter  
powers on after a control power loss, when the meter resets for any reason, when the  
meter self-diagnostic feature detects a problem, or when the meter detects a phase  
rotation different than expected.  
Alarm Priorities  
Each alarm has a priority level. Use priorities to help distinguish between events that  
require immediate action and those that do not require action. See “Setting up the alarm /  
energy pulsing LED” on page 39 for information on configuring the alarm LED for alarm  
mode.  
High priority—if a high priority alarm occurs, the display informs you in two ways: the  
alarm LED on the display flashes until you acknowledge the alarm, and the alarm icon  
blinks while the alarm is active. An alarm message is displayed while the alarm is  
for information on acknowledging alarms.  
Medium priority—if a medium priority alarm occurs, the alarm LED and the alarm  
icon blink only while the alarm is active. An alarm message is displayed while the  
alarm is active.

There are two types of alarm entries: primary and secondary. The primary entry identifies  
the alarm. The secondary entries provide pickup and dropout information.  
The active alarm list holds 40 entries at a time. The list works as a circular buffer,  
replacing old entries as new entries over 40 are entered into the alarm event queue. The  
information in the alarm event queue reinitializes when the power meter resets.  
The alarm history log holds 40 entries. The log also works as a circular buffer, replacing  
old entries with new entries. This information is nonvolatile.

Chapter 8—Measurements and calculations  
This section describes how the meter processes measured and calculated data.  
Real-time readings  
The power and energy meter measures currents and voltages, and reports in real time  
the RMS (Root Mean Squared) values for all three phases and neutral. The voltage and  
current inputs are continuously monitored at a sampling rate of 64 points per cycle. This  
amount of resolution helps enable the meter to provide reliable measurements and  
calculated electrical values for various commercial, buildings and industrial  
applications.  
Related topics  
To learn how to navigate to the data screens using the front panel, see “Viewing  
Energy  
The power and energy meter calculates and stores accumulated energy values for real,  
reactive, and apparent energy.  
You can view accumulated energy from the display. The energy value units  
automatically change, based on the quantity of energy accumulated (e.g., from kWh to  
MWh, from MWh to GWh, then from GWh to TWh, from TWh to PWh).  
Related topics  
To view energy readings from the front panel display, see “Meter data display  
Min/max values  
Power factor  
The meter’s real-time readings are updated once every 50 cycles for 50 Hz systems, or  
once every 60 cycles for 60 Hz systems. When the readings reach their lowest or  
highest value, the meter updates and saves these min/max (minimum and maximum)  
quantities in non-volatile memory.  
Power factor (PF) is the ratio of active power (P) to apparent power (S), and is a  
number between zero (0) and one (1). In a purely resistive circuit, PF is equal to 1 (unity  
PF). Inductive or capacitive loads increase the reactive power (Q) component in the  
circuit which causes the PF to become less than 1.  
Power factor can have a positive or negative sign, depending on the type of load or

Power factor min/max convention  
The meter uses the following convention for power factor minimums and maximums:  
For negative PF readings, the minimum PF value is the measurement closest to -0  
for PF readings between -0 to -1. For positive PF readings, the minimum PF value is  
the measurement closest to +1 for PF readings between +1 to +0.  
For negative PF readings, the maximum PF value is the measurement closest to -1  
for PF readings between -0 to -1. For positive PF readings, the maximum PF value  
is the measurement closest to +0 for PF readings between +1 to +0.

IEEE mode  
In IEEE mode, the PF sign is determined by the type of load (inductive or capacitive)  
contributing to the reactive power component of apparent power. PF sign is positive (+)  
for capacitive loads (leading power factor). PF sign is negative (-) for inductive loads  
(lagging power factor).  
Related topics  
To learn how the meter calculates power factor, see “Power factor” on page 61.  
Demand  
Demand is a measure of average consumption (typically power or current) over a fixed  
programmed time interval.  
The meter measures instantaneous consumption and can calculate demand using  
various methods.  
Related topics  
For instructions on configuring demand using the front panel, see “Demand setup”  
Power demand calculation methods  
Power demand is calculated by dividing the energy accumulated during a specified  
period by the length of that period. How the power meter performs this calculation  
depends on the method and time parameters you select (for example, timed rolling  
block demand with a 15-minute interval).  
To be compatible with electric utility billing practices, the power meter provides the  
following types of power demand calculations:  
Block interval demand  
Synchronized demand  
Thermal demand  
You can configure the power demand calculation method from the front panel or using  
ION Setup.  
Block interval demand  
For block interval demand method types, you specify a period of time interval (or block)  
that the power meter uses for the demand calculation. Select/configure how the power  
meter handles that interval from one of these different methods:  
Timed Sliding Block: Select an interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute  
increments). If the interval is between 1 and 15 minutes, the demand calculation  
updates every 15 seconds. If the interval is between 16 and 60 minutes, the  
demand calculation updates every 60 seconds. The power meter displays the  
demand value for the last completed interval.  
Timed Block: Select an interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute increments). The  
power meter calculates and updates the demand at the end of each interval.  
Timed Rolling Block: Select an interval and a subinterval. The subinterval must  
divide evenly into the interval (for example, three 5-minute subintervals for a  
15-minute interval). Demand is updated at the end of each subinterval. The power  
meter displays the demand value for the last completed interval.

Synchronized demand  
You can configure the demand calculations to be synchronized using an external pulse  
input, a command sent over communications, or the device’s internal real-time clock.  
Command synchronized demand: This method allows you to synchronize the  
demand intervals of multiple meters on a communications network. For example, if  
a programmable logic controller (PLC) input is monitoring a pulse at the end of a  
demand interval on a utility revenue meter, you can program the PLC to issue a  
command to multiple meters whenever the utility meter starts a new demand  
interval. Each time the command is issued, the demand readings of each meter are  
calculated for the same interval. When setting up this type of demand, you can  
choose Cmd Sync Block (command-synchronized block demand) or Cmd Sync  
Roll Block (command-synchronized rolling block demand). Cmd Sync Roll Blk  
requires that you specify a subinterval.  
Clock synchronized demand: This method allows you to synchronize the demand  
interval to the power meter’s internal real-time clock. This helps you synchronize the  
demand to a particular time, typically on the hour (for example, at 12:00 am). If you  
select another time of day when the demand intervals are to be synchronized, the  
time must be specified in minutes from midnight. For example, to synchronize at

8:00 am, select 0800 (in hhmm format). When setting up this type of demand, you  
can choose Clock Sync Block (clock-synchronized block demand) or Clock Sync  
Roll Blk (clock-synchronized rolling block demand). Clock Sync Roll Blk requires  
that you specify a subinterval.  
Thermal demand  
Thermal demand calculates the demand based on a thermal response, which imitates  
the function of thermal demand meters. The demand calculation updates at the end of  
each interval. You can set the demand interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute  
increments).  
The following illustration shows the thermal demand calculation. In this example, the  
interval is set to 15 minutes.

The power meter calculates current demand using one of the methods described in  
“Power demand calculation methods” on page 63. You can set the demand interval  
from 1 to 60 minutes in 1-minute increments (for example, 15 minutes).  
Predicted demand  
The power meter calculates predicted demand for the end of the present interval for  
kW, kVAR, kVA and Amps demand. This prediction takes into account the energy  
consumption so far within the present (partial) interval and the present rate of  
consumption.  
Predicted demand is updated every second.

Peak demand  
The maximum values for the kWD, kVARD, kVAD power, and amps (or peak demand)  
is maintained in the meter’s non-volatile memory. The peak for each value is the  
highest average reading since the meter was last reset. The power meter also stores  
the date and time when the peak demand occurred. In addition to the peak demand, the  
power meter also stores the coinciding average 3-phase power factor. The average 3-  
phase power factor is defined as “demand kW/demand kVA” for the peak demand  
interval.

Harmonics overview  
Harmonics are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency of the power system.  
Harmonics information is valuable for power quality analysis, determining properly  
rated transformers, maintenance and troubleshooting.  
Harmonics measurements include per-phase magnitudes and angles for the  
fundamental and higher harmonics relative to the fundamental frequency. The meter’s  
power system setting defines which phases are present and determines how line-to-line  
or line-to-neutral voltage harmonics and current harmonics are calculated.  
Harmonics data provide information to determine how non-linear loads affect the power  
system. For example, power system harmonics can cause current flow on the neutral  
conductor, increase heating in electric motors, and eventually damage connected  
equipment. Power conditioners or harmonic filters can be used to minimize unwanted  
harmonics.  
Total Harmonic Distortion and Total Demand Distortion  
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is a measure of the total per-phase voltage or current  
harmonic distortion present in the power system. It provides a general indication of the  
quality of a waveform. THD is calculated for each phase of both voltage and current.  
Total Demand Distortion (TDD) is the per-phase harmonic current distortion against the  
full load demand of the electrical system. TDD indicates the impact of harmonic  
distortion in the system. For example, if your system is showing high THD values but a  
low demand, the impact of harmonic distortion on your system might be insignificant.  
However at full load, the THD value for the current harmonics is equal to TDD, so this  
could negatively impact your system.  
The meter uses the following series of equations to calculate THD and TDD.  
Harmonic content calculations  
1. Calculate harmonic content (HC).  
HC = H22 + H32 + H42  
HC (harmonic content) is equal to the RMS value of all the non-fundamental harmonic  
components in one phase of the power system.  
2. Calculate the harmonic content for current (HCI).  
HCI = HI22 + HI32 + HI42  
HCI (harmonic content current) is equal to the RMS value of all the non-fundamental  
current harmonic components (HI2…HIn) in one phase of the power system.

THD and thd calculations  
The meter supports two methods of calculating total harmonic distortion: THD and thd.  
THD is a quick measure of the total distortion present in a waveform and is the ratio of  
harmonic content to the fundamental. The meter uses the following equation to  
calculate THD:  
HC  
H1  
--------  
THD =  
100  
Where H1 is equal to the fundamental harmonic.  
thd is an alternate method for calculating total harmonic distortion. It uses the RMS  
value for the total harmonic content rather than the fundamental content. The meter  
uses the following equation to calculate thd:  
HC  
-----------------------------------------  
thd =  
100  
H12 + HC2  
TDD calculation  
TDD (total demand distortion) evaluates the harmonic currents between an end user  
and a power source. The harmonic values are based on a point of common coupling  
(PCC), which is a common point where each user receives power from the power  
source. The meter uses the following equation to calculate TDD:  
TDD =  HCIA2 + HCIB2 + HCIC2  ILoad  100  
Where ILoad is equal to the maximum demand load on the power system.  
Displaying harmonics data

Chapter 10—Verifying accuracy  
Chapter 10—Verifying accuracy  
All meters are tested and verified at the factory in accordance with International  
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI)  
standards.  
Your digital power meter does not require re-calibration. However, in some installations  
a final accuracy verification of the meters is required, especially if the meters will be  
used for revenue or billing applications.  
Testing overview  
The most common method for testing meter accuracy is to apply test voltages and  
currents from a stable power source and compare the meter’s readings with readings  
from a reference device or energy standard.  
Accuracy test requirements  
Signal and power source  
The meter maintains its accuracy during voltage and current signal source variations  
but its energy pulsing output needs a stable test signal to help produce accurate test  
pulses. The meter’s energy pulsing mechanism needs approximately 10 seconds to  
stabilize after every source adjustment.  
The meter must be connected to control power in order to conduct accuracy verification  
testing. Refer to your meter’s installation documentation for power supply  
specifications.  
DANGER  
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH  
Verify the device’s power source meets the specifications for your device’s power  
supply.  
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury  
Control equipment  
Control equipment is required for counting and timing the pulse outputs from the alarm /  
energy pulsing LED or the digital outputs.  
Most standard test benches have an arm equipped with red light sensors to detect  
LED pulses.  
NOTE: The optical sensors on the test bench can be disrupted by strong sources of  
ambient light (such as camera flashes, florescent tubes, sunlight reflections, floodlights,  
etc). This can cause test errors. Use a hood, if necessary, to block out ambient light.  
Environment  
The meter should be tested at the same temperature as the testing equipment. The  
ideal temperature is about 23 °C (73 °F). Make sure the meter is warmed up sufficiently  
before testing.  
A warm-up time of 30 minutes is recommended before beginning energy accuracy  
verification testing. At the factory, the meters are warmed up to their typical operating

temperature before calibration to help ensure that the meters will reach their optimal  
accuracy at operating temperature.  
Most high precision electronic equipment requires a warm up time before it reaches its  
specified performance levels. Energy meter standards allow the manufacturers to  
specify meter accuracy derating due to ambient temperature changes and self-heating.  
Your meter complies with and meets the requirements of these energy metering  
standards.  
For a list of accuracy standards that your meter complies to, contact your local  
Schneider Electric representative or download the meter brochure from  
Reference device or energy standard  
To help ensure the accuracy of the test, it is recommended that you use a reference  
device or reference energy standard with a specified accuracy that is 6 to 10 times  
more accurate than the meter under test. Before you start testing, the reference device  
or energy standard should be warmed up as recommended by its manufacturer.  
NOTE: Verify the accuracy and precision of all measurement equipment used in  
accuracy testing (for example, voltmeters, ammeters, power factor meters).  
Energy pulsing  
You can configure the meter’s alarm /energy LED or one of the digital outputs for  
energy pulsing.  
The meter is equipped with an alarm / energy pulsing LED. When configured for  
energy pulsing, the LED emits pulses that are then used to determine the accuracy  
of the meter’s energy measurements.  
Location of energy pulsing LED  
PM5100  
Alarm / energy pulsing LED  
The meter is equipped with a digital output. When you configure the digital output  
for energy pulsing, the meter sends voltage pulses to the digital output port, which  
are then used to determine the accuracy of the meter’s energy measurements.

Verifying accuracy test  
The following are guidelines for testing the meter; your meter shop may have specific  
testing methods.  
DANGER  
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH  
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical  
work practices. See NFPA 70E in the USA or applicable local standards.  
• Turn off all power supplying this device before working on it.  
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.  
• Do not exceed the device’s ratings for maximum limits.  
• Verify the device’s power source meets the specifications for your device’s power  
supply.  
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.  
1. Turn off power to all test equipment. Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to  
confirm power is off.  
2. Connect the test voltage and current source to the reference device or energy  
standard. Ensure all voltage inputs to the meter under test are connected in parallel  
and all currents inputs are connected in series.

PowerLogic™ PM5100 series user guide  
6. Depending on the method selected for counting the energy pulses, configure the  
meter’s alarm / energy LED or one of the digital outputs to perform energy pulsing.  
Set the meter’s energy pulse constant so it is in sync with the reference test  
equipment.  
7. Perform accuracy verification on the test points. Run each test point for at least 30  
seconds to allow the test bench equipment to read an adequate number of pulses.  
Allow 10 seconds of dwell time between test points.  
Calculating the number of required pulses  
The reference test equipment typically requires you to specify the number of pulses  
required for a test duration of “t” seconds.  
Use the following formula to calculate the required number of pulses:  
t
-----------  
Number of pulses = Ptot K   
3600  
Where:  
Ptot = total instantaneous power in kilowatts (kW)  
K = the meter’s pulse constant setting, in pulses per kWh  
t = test duration, in seconds (typically greater than 30 seconds)  
Calculating total power  
The test voltage and current source supplies the same test signals to both the energy  
reference/standard and the meter under test. Total power is calculated as follows:  
For a balanced 3-phase Wye system:  
1 kW  
1000 W  
------------------  
Ptot = 3 VLN I PF   
NOTE: A balanced 3-phase system assumes the voltage, current and power factor  
values are the same for all phases.  
For a single-phase system:  
1 kW  
1000 W  
------------------  
Ptot = VLN I PF   
Where:  
Ptot = total instantaneous power in kilowatts (kW)  
VLN = test point line-to-neutral voltage in volts [V]  
I = test point current in amps [A]  
PF = power factor  
The result of the calculation is rounded up to the nearest integer.  
Percent error calculation  
For every test point:  
EM – ES  
---------------------

Chapter 10—Verifying accuracy  
Where:  
EM = energy measured by the meter under test  
ES = energy measured by the reference device or energy standard.  
NOTE: If accuracy verification reveals inaccuracies in your meter, they may be caused  
by typical sources of test errors. If there are no sources of test errors present, please  
contact your local Schneider Electric representative.  
Energy pulsing considerations  
The meter’s alarm / energy LED and digital outputs are capable of energy pulsing within  
the following limits:  
Energy pulsing limits

Digital output  
Maximum pulse frequency  
Minimum pulse constant  
Maximum pulse constant  
50 Hz  
25 Hz  
1 pulse per k_h  
9,999,999 pulses per k_h  
The pulse rate depends on the voltage, current and PF of the input signal source, the  
number of phases, and the VT and CT ratios.  
If Ptot is the instantaneous power (in kW) and K is the pulse constant (in pulses per  
k_h), then the pulse period is:  
3600

Pulse period (in seconds) = ------------------- = --------------------------------------------------  
K Ptot Pulse frequency (Hz)  
VT and CT considerations  
The test points are always taken at the secondary side, regardless of whether VTs or  
CTs are used. Ptot is derived from the values of the voltage and current inputs at the  
secondary side, and takes into account the VT and CT ratios.  
If VTs and CTs are used, you must include their primary and secondary ratings in the  
equation. For example, in a balanced 3-phase Wye system with VTs and CTs:  
VT primary

100% of the nominal current, 100% of the nominal voltage and nominal frequency  
at 0.87 lagging power factor (current lagging voltage by 30° phase angle).  
Typical sources of test errors  
If excessive errors are observed during accuracy testing, examine your test setup and  
test procedures to eliminate typical sources of measurement errors:  
Loose connections of voltage or current circuits, often caused by worn-out contacts  
or terminals. Inspect terminals of test equipment, cables, test harness and the meter  
under test.  
Meter ambient temperature is significantly different than 23 °C (73 °F).  
Floating (ungrounded) neutral voltage terminal in any configuration with unbalanced  
phase voltages.  
Inadequate meter control power, resulting in the meter resetting during the test  
procedure.  
Ambient light interference or sensitivity issues with the optical sensor.  
Unstable power source causing energy pulsing fluctuations.  
Incorrect test setup: not all phases connected to the reference device or the energy  
standard. All phases connected to the meter under test should also be connected to  
the reference meter/standard.  
Moisture (condensing humidity), debris or pollution present in the meter under test.

Troubleshooting  
The information in Table 12–1 on page 84 describes potential problems and their possible  
causes. It also describes checks you can perform or possible solutions for each. After  
referring to this table, if you cannot resolve the problem, contact your local Schneider  
Electric sales representative for assistance.  
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH  
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical  
practices. For example, in the United States, see NFPA 70E.  
• This equipment must be installed and serviced only by qualified personnel.  
• Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside.  
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.  
• Carefully inspect the work area for tools and objects that may have been left inside  
the equipment.  
• Use caution while removing or installing panels so that they do not extend into the  
energized bus; avoid handling the panels, which could cause personal injury.  
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.  
Heartbeat/Comms LED  
The heartbeat/comms LED helps to troubleshoot the power meter. The heartbeat/comms  
LED works as follows:  
Normal operation — the LED flashes at a steady rate during normal operation.  
Communications — the LED flash rate changes as the communications port  
transmits and receives data. If the LED flash rate does not change when data is sent  
from the host computer, the power meter is not receiving requests from the host  
computer.  
Hardware — if the heartbeat LED remains lit and does not flash ON and OFF, there is  
a hardware problem. Perform a hard reset of the power meter (turn OFF power to the  
power meter, then restore power to the power meter). If the heartbeat LED remains lit,  
contact your local sales representative.  
Control power and display — if the heartbeat LED flashes, but the display is blank,  
the display may not be functioning properly or may have timed out (see “Setting Up  
the Display” on page 8). If the display is blank and the LED is not lit, verify that control  
power is connected to the power meter.
