Communications Connections

If you are configuring the meter at an installation site, see the PowerLogic EM4000 Series Meter Installation Guide or 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 meter for configuring.

The PowerLogic EM4000/EM4800 Series Configuration Tool runs on a Windows PC and communicates with the PowerLogic meters through an Ethernet network connection. A network connection can be accomplished in two ways: either Direct, or by connecting to a LAN (Local Area Network).

Direct Connection Ethernet Requirements

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 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 cable between the PC and the PowerLogic meter. If the PC does not have auto-crossover detection, an Ethernet crossover cable will be required.

6.Restore power to the meter.
