Communications Connections

If you are configuring the meter at the installation site, see the PowerLogic

 

EM4800 Series Meter Installation Guide for instructions on connecting the

 

power. Power connections vary depending on whether the meter is

 

configured for single-phase or three-phase operation.

 

If you are pre-configuring the meter in the shop, only Phase A, Neutral, and

 

protective earth connections are required to power up the PowerLogic

 

EM4800 Series meter for configuring.

 

The PowerLogic EM4800 Series Configuration Tool communicates with the

 

PowerLogic meters through an Ethernet network connection. A network

 

connection can be accomplished in two ways: either Direct using an Ethernet

 

crossover cable, or by connecting to a LAN (Local Area Network).

 

NOTE: If you are attempting to use the list function, the PC being used

 

to configure the device MUST be on the same network segment as the

 

PowerLogic meters to be configured. The connect function will allow

 

the user to find the PowerLogic meters on or off the same segment,

 

however you must know the correct IP address of the unit being

 

modified.

 

Direct Connection Ethernet Requirements

 

 

 

DANGER

 

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

 

• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow

 

safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E.

 

• This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified

 

electrical personnel.

 

• Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or

 

inside equipment.

 

• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm

 

power is off.

 

• Replace all devices, doors and covers before turning on power to

 

this equipment.

 

• The meters must be connected to the sense voltage and control

 

voltage through a properly rated disconnect.

 

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious

 

injury.

To connect a PC directly to the PowerLogic EM4800 Series meter:

1.Disconnect power from the meter with the installed breaker or disconnecting device. Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.

2.Remove the outer cover.

3.If you are changing parameters that require the programming switch to be on, remove the inner cover and ensure the programming switches are in the ON position.

4.Re-install the inner cover.

5.Remove the local LAN Ethernet cable if present and connect the CAT 5 Ethernet cross-over cable between the PC and the PowerLogic EM4800 Series meter.

6.Restore power to the meter.
