01/2011 PowerLogic configuration tool

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

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.
