Physical Description
FRONT: The front panel has three rows of four digits/characters each, with auto
scaling kilo (K), Mega (M), and minus (-) indications. The K and M indicators lit
together to show Giga readings. The load bar graph to the right of the display
gives the indication of consumption in terms of the % amperes load with respect to
the FS (full scale) selected. Five smart keys make navigating the parameters very
quick and intuitive for viewing data and configuring the power meter.
REAR: The voltage and current terminals and the communication port are located
on the back of the power meter. Refer to “Rear Panel” on page 13 for more
information.

RMS readings are four digits. Energy readings have eight digits, including four
additional fractional digits. The maximum number the power meter handles is
9,999 G for RMS and energy values.
This means that the energy readings of the power meter will overflow at three
values of Wh (active energy) or VAh (Apparent energy) (selectable through
PROG menu - setup) depending upon the PT (VT) and CT ratios programmed.

Energy Integrator
The PM1000 series power meter is equipped with an energy integrator function. It
provides several parameters for Energy Management: VAh, Wh, VARh (Ind), -
VARh (Cap), run.h (run hours), on.h (on hours), INTR (Interruptions / outages).
Integrator Overflow
The PM1000 series power meters contain a comprehensive Integrator to support
energy management. It accumulates several parameters over time, as explained
above. All values are direct readings and have a high resolution. This is necessary
for accurate energy analysis over short intervals of time. It also means that the
readings max out and reset sooner or later, as given below. Since the Integrator
contains counters for several parameters (VAh, Wh, VARh, -VARh, Run Hours, On
Hours, Interruptions), they all reset together when any one of them overflows
(usually Wh – but can be changed to VAh via the OF Setup). This makes energy
management calculations such as Average PF very easy.
The maximum number that the power meter handles is 9,999 Giga for RMS and
energy values. The value at which the power meter overflows is given below.
The overflow value depends on the product of the primary voltage and current
rating.
The energy values in the integrator are transferred to the OLD register when the
INTG is cleared (manually/due to overflow). Thus the OLD energy values are not
lost even after the integrator is cleared and can be viewed with the OLD
parameter.
The values of parameters Wh, VAh, VARh, -VARh, and Run.h are stored in the
OLD register when the INTG is cleared.
Auto demand power calculation is the default calculation for PM1000 series power
meters.

3-Phase Systems
A 3-phase system delivers higher levels of power for industrial and commercial
applications. The three phases correspond to three potential lines. A 120° phase
shift exists between the three potential lines.
A typical configuration has either a Delta connection or a Wye (Star) connection
In a 3-phase system, the voltage levels between the phases and the neutral are
ideally defined by V1 = V2 = V3 = V12 / √3 = V23 / √3 = V31 / √3. In practice, there
will be some unbalance (difference).
Voltages between the phases vary, depending on loading factors and the quality of
distribution transformers.
The total electric energy usage over a time period is the consumption of Wh.
Typically, the unit in which consumption is specified is the kilowatt-hour (kWh): one
thousand watts consumed over one hour. Utilities use the Wh equation to
determine the overall consumption in a billing period.
However, in case the power meters need to match the reading of older or simpler
power meters, which use the Arithmetic kVA definition, this too is available as a
Setup option.

Installation Procedure
Usage
First, decide how the power meter is to be used. If you do not already have an
energy management program in operation, then your energy consultant should be
able to help you identify which load(s) offer maximum savings potential. This will
help you decide which point is to be monitored, where the readings will be viewed
from, who must have access to the instrument and how often. Otherwise, decide the
location of the power meter and install it. For best performance, choose a location
that provides all the required signals with minimum wiring lengths.
Description Specification
Storage temperature -25 °C to 70 °C, (-13 °F to 158 °F)
Operating temperature -10 °C to 60 °C, (14 °F to 140 °F)
Relative humidity 5% to 95%, non-condensing
The power meters should be separated from other equipment, and sufficient space
must be provided all around for cooling air to rise vertically past the instrument.
The cooling air temperature must be below the specified operating temperature.
The panel or housing, in which the PM1000 power meter is mounted, should
protect it from dust, moisture, oil, corrosive vapors, etc.
The panel doors must be easily opened to provide easy access to the power meter
wiring for troubleshooting. Allow clearance if the unit is going to swing out, as well
as adequate slack in the wiring. Allow space for terminal blocks, CT shorting
blocks, fuses, auxiliary contactors, and other necessary components.
Viewing
For ease of operation, the location should be preferably at, or slightly above, eye-
level. For viewing comfort, minimize glare and reflections from strong light
sources.
Mounting
The power meters are panel mountable.

Put the mounting clamps back in the power meter
and tighten the mounting clamps screws.
While supporting the power meter from the front, tighten both side clamp screws in
a criss-cross pattern till all slack is taken up and then apply one full turn. Do not
over-tighten. Over-tightening could result in breaking of the clamps.
The power meter should be separated from other equipments and sufficient space
must be provided all around the power meter, to allow air to rise vertically around
the power meter. Lack of sufficient air for cooling may result in over heating of the
power meter.
NOTE: It is much easier to set up the meter before you mount the power meter on the panel. See
“Quick setup” on page 17 for more information.
Electrical Installation
This section describes the following:
• The need for, and selection of, potential transformers (PTs) and current
transformers (CTs).
• Auxiliary supply (control power), PT (VT), and CT connections.
Screw head diameter = 3.5 mm (0.14 in.), TIP shaft diameter < 5 mm (0.2 in.).
IMPORTANT – Screwdriver shafts inserted angularly or of diameter ≥ 5 mm (0.2
in.) will get stuck in the cover
Tightening Torque: 0.25 to 1 N.m (2.21 to 8.85 lb-in)
Loosening Torque: 0.8 to 1 N.m (7.08 to 8.85 lb-in)
Screw Travel: 6 mm (0.24 in.) less wire thickness
Torque > 1 N.m (8.85 lb-in) may strip the screw or break the cover.
Connecting cable
NOTE: Installations should include a disconnecting device, like a switch or circuit breaker, with clear
ON/OFF markings to turn-off the auxiliary supply (control power). The disconnecting device should be
placed within the reach of the equipment and the operator.
NOTE: It is much easier to set up the meter before you mount the meter on the panel. See “Quick
setup” on page 17 for more information.
The PTs (VTs) and CTs must be planned, installed, and tested by a qualified
electrical contractor before wiring the power meter. The accuracy of the
measurement also depends on the accuracy and phase angle error of the PTs
(VTs) and CTs. Instrument class 1 or better PTs and CTs are recommended. Do
not use protection class (10P10, etc.) CTs to feed the power meters; they have
poor accuracy and phase characteristics.
Ensure that the CT primary rating has been selected so that your normal load
variation lies between 40% and 80% of its full scale. If your CT is over-rated, say if
the load is always less than 10% of the CT primary rating, accuracy suffers. On
the other hand, if the CT is under-rated, then you may exceed its full scale and
burn out both the CT and the power meter.
PT (VT), CT Wiring
The PTs (VTs) and CTs must have adequate VA rating to support the burden
(loading) on the secondaries. You may want to support the auxiliary supply burden
from one of the PTs (VTs). CT wiring can impose additional burden (loading) on
the CT. For example, if the CT has a 5 A secondary and the wire resistance is 1.0
Ω, then the CT has to support an additional burden of 5 VA. If the wiring distance
from the CT secondary is greater than stated in Table 5-5 on page 41, then the CT
could get over-burdened and give large errors. Choosing a 1 A CT secondary can
reduce this error. The CT secondary value must be user programmed into the
power meter.
The power meters should be conveniently located for easy connections of voltage
(PT), current (CT) signals, and auxiliary (control) supply.
NOTE: The power meters user programmable PT and CT primary or secondary settings, may be
utilized to Calibrate out the PT and CT amplitude error, for improved accuracy.
PT Connections
The power meters directly accept LV voltage inputs of up to 480 VAC RMS line to
line (277 VLN). Voltages greater than this, typically HV systems, must be
connected through Potential transformers (PTs). The power meters allow user
programming of both PT primary and secondary voltages.
• User programmable PT primary range: 0.1 to 999 kVAC RMS LL
• User programmable PT secondary range: 80 to 481 VAC RMS LL
• Power meter voltage Input burden: 0.2 VA per input
NOTE: The PT primary and secondary values must be user programmed before using the power
meter. Otherwise, the readings will be wrong.
Any unused current input terminals must be shorted together, e.g., in Delta
connection, the terminals A2 (S1, S2) must be shorted together. The shorted
terminals do not need to be grounded.
Install the wiring for the current circuit at 480 VAC insulation as a minimum. The
cable connection should be rated for 7.5 A or greater and have a cross-sectional
area of 2.5 mm2 (14 AWG) minimum.
CT Connections
Mount the current transformers (CTs) as close as possible to the power meter for
best accuracy. The following table illustrates the maximum recommended
distances for various CT sizes, assuming the connection is via 2.5 mm2 (14 AWG)
cable.
NOTE:
The PT primary and secondary values must be user programmed before using the power meter.
Otherwise, the readings will be wrong.
With dual- range CTs; select the best range for programming the power meter. If you change the range
thereafter without re-programming the power meter, the power meter will read erroneous values.
CT Polarity
When the power meter is connected using the CTs, you must maintain correct CT
polarities. CT polarities are dependent upon correct connections of CT leads, and
upon the direction the CTs are facing when clamped around conductors. The dot
on the CT must face the line side; the corresponding secondary connection must
connect to the appropriate input on the power meter.
Failure to connect CTs properly results in inaccurate power readings. If your power
meter is not reading power properly, it is more than likely that the CT is incorrectly
wired. If one or two CTs are reversed, then energy parameters accumulate only
one phase value. If two or all the phases of the CT are reversed, energy will not
accumulate. (Energy import will not be measured).
CT Connection Reversal
To check the polarity of the CT after the power meter has been installed, simply
look at the phase-wise W (Watt) readings to see that each of the readings are
positive (assuming you are consuming power). If one of the W readings is
negative, that particular phase CT is reversed and must be corrected. On the other
hand if you are exporting power, all three phase-wise W readings must be
negative.
Phase Labels
The phase labels shown on the display are programmable via the power meters
front panel PROG menu. You can setup the meter to display phase labels
convenient to your practice. The choices available are: 123 (factory set), RYB,
RST, PQR, ABC.
Connection Diagrams
Choose the diagram below that best describes your application. You must ensure
that the CT phase and corresponding PT phase are identical and that the CT
polarity is correct. Follow the outlined procedure to verify correct connection.

• If the power meter is the first device on the daisy chain, connect it to the host
device using a RS 232 to RS 422/RS 485 converter or RS 485 to Ethernet
converter.
• If the power meter is the last device on the daisy chain, terminate it with the
terminator provided.
• See “Table 6-1” on page 48, for the maximum daisy-chain communications
distances for 2-wire devices.
• The terminal’s voltage and current ratings are compliant with the requirements of
the EIA RS 485 communications standard.

NOTE: The polling interval to poll the data from PM1200 will depend on baud rate. We recommend
polling interval of one second at 9600 Baud rate.
Communication Test
Communication test: PM1200 power meter can be successfully used for
communication using Modscan software as Modbus master in PC. Details of the
settings in Modscan are given below.
1. After starting the Modscan, to read Apparent power total (VA total), enter
address as 3901 (decimal), length as 2, device ID as 1, Modbus point type as
03, and HOLDING REGISTER.
2. Modify the connection details: Click connection > connect, to see the
connection detail window. Change all the settings to match the following
screen. These are default settings of PM1200 power meter.
4. The Modscan software starts polling the configured COM port for the Device ID
1.
Modscan Demo software will stop polling after 3.5 minutes on successful
communication.
This shows that the power meter is communicating with the Modbus Modscan
master software successfully on the PC. The power meter is Modbus RTU
compliant.
Data Address
The PM1200 power meter supports the transfer of whole block and also of
individual data values (two registers are used for storing single data value).
• In the transfer of individual data values, it treats two registers as an object with
the starting address (e.g., 3900) considered as the object name. This enables
you to transfer required data values for energy management.
• In the transfer of the whole block, it basically treats each block as an object with
the starting address (e.g.,3000) considered as the object name. This enables
fast block transfers, since energy management usually requires a block of
related readings for the same point of time. This method also eliminates time-
skew within readings of that block.
• The device address, block start address, number of registers, must be
configured to suit the power meter. You must also make the related SCADA
settings for polling priority, logging, and viewing the data. Refer your SCADA
software instructions to learn how to do this.

FW Version 03.04.00
NOTE: Firmware version representation only. To determine your power meter’s present firmware
version, refer the diagnostic page in the power meter. See “PM1000 series power meters menu
hierarchy”, on page 27 to navigate through the diagnostic page.
NOTE:
• Most of the reserved and unavailable parameters return zero value.
• The SCADA software must support register blocks consisting of different data types (integers and
floats) to transfer of whole block.
• Each Modbus register size is 16 bits. All PM1200 readings are 32 bits. Therefore, each PM1200
reading occupies two consecutive Modbus registers. For example, VA parameter absolute address is
3901. It occupies both 3901 and 3902 Modbus registers.
• Address configuration: All addresses are in decimal. Some SCADA software supports Modbus
register address instead of absolute register address. In this case add 40000 to the above address
and use it. For example, VA parameter absolute address is 3901. Modbus address can be 43901
(40000+3901).
• Phase Angle Block: Voltage phase angles (0,120,240) are hard coded (not measured). Hence, these
values are also available in communication in the absence of input signals; however, these voltage
phase angles are not available in the power meter display.
• TURBO, and Percentage of Load Blocks: These parameters can be read individually or as a block
• TURBO block: 50 parameters maximum
• Percentage of Load block: 5 parameters maximum
• All power meters addresses should be set between 1 and 247.
• All power meters should have uniform communication settings like Baud rate, parity and stop bit.
• Use Diagnostic mode display in the power meter to analyze the problem in communication.
• Error: u – Invalid unit ID
A – Invalid Address
c – CRC error (cyclic redundancy checking)
t – Transmitting
r – Receiving
F – Invalid function code
o – Parity, framing or overrun error
O- Buffer overflow
