Chapter 1: Overview

1.1Introduction

1.1.1 Description

The EPM 6000 is a multifunction power meter designed to be used in electrical substations, panel boards and as a power meter for OEM equipment. The unit provides multifunction measurement of electrical parameters.

The unit is designed with advanced measurement capabilities, allowing it to achieve high performance accuracy. The EPM 6000 is specified as a 0.2% class energy meter for billing applications as well as a highly accurate panel indication meter.

The EPM 6000 provides a host of additional capabilities, including standard RS485 Modbus

Protocol and an IrDA port remote interrogation.

1.1.2Highlights

The following EPM 6000 features are detailed in this manual:

•0.2% class revenue certifiable energy and demand metering

•Meets ANSI C12.20 (0.2%) and IEC 687 (0.2%) classes

•Multifunction measurement including voltage, current, power, frequency, energy

•Percentage of load bar for analog meter perception

•Easy-to-use faceplate programming

•IrDA port for PDA remote read

•RS485 Modbus communications
