Restore power. When control power is restored, the meter will receive

 

 

an IP address from a local DHCP server. This IP address can be

 

 

viewed from the Diagnostics menu.

 

 

NOTE: To use a static IP address, have your local network

 

 

administrator assign the desired IP address to the MAC address of the

 

 

meter in the DHCP server configuration. To display the MAC address,

 

 

see “Display Navigation” on page 4.

Configuring the Meters

The PowerLogic EM4800 Series configuration tool is available on the CD

 

shipped with each unit, and is used to configure all programmable

 

parameters listed in Table 1.

Login

Use the following procedure to log in to the meter.

 

1.

Establish an Ethernet network connection with the meter using one of

 

 

the methods descirbed in “Communications Connections” on page 5.

 

2.

Ensure the programming switches are in the ON position. The

 

 

programming switches are two-position DIP switches labeled SW1, and

 

 

are located inside the meter cover below the Display button. To enable

 

 

meter configuration, both switches must be physically set to the ON

 

 

position. When both switches are in the OFF position, meter

 

 

configuration is disabled.

 

3.

Start the configuration tool by entering “PowerLogic” as the User

 

 

Name, and “E4800” as the Password (see Figure 2). Click Ok.

EM4800 specifications

Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management and automation, offers advanced power monitoring solutions that enhance energy efficiency and operational effectiveness. The EM4800 and EM400 series are prominent products in Schneider Electric’s energy monitoring line, designed specifically for efficient energy consumption management in various industrial and commercial applications.

The EM4800 is a comprehensive energy meter that caters to larger facilities and energy-intensive operations. One of its main features is its ability to monitor multiple electrical parameters, including voltage, current, frequency, power factor, and total active/reactive energy. The device supports diverse communication protocols such as Modbus, Ethernet, and BACnet, allowing seamless integration into existing building management systems. This diversity in communication enhances visibility into energy usage and supports real-time monitoring, enabling facility managers to make informed decisions.

On the other hand, the EM400 series is designed for smaller applications while still delivering robust functionality. This series is tailored for monitoring power consumption in smaller commercial buildings or branch offices. EM400 meters focus on essential energy metrics but do so with a compact, easy-to-install design. With features like demand forecasting and peak load management, the EM400 provides valuable insights that help organizations optimize their energy usage.

Both models come equipped with advanced technologies such as harmonic analysis, which is crucial for understanding power quality and mitigating potential risks associated with harmonic distortion. The user-friendly interface of these devices facilitates quick access to energy data, making it simple for users to analyze consumption patterns and identify opportunities for energy savings.

In concurrence with Schneider Electric’s commitment to sustainability, both the EM4800 and EM400 series emphasize energy conservation by promoting efficient energy practices. Users can leverage the collected data to reduce energy costs, enhance equipment performance, and contribute to environmental sustainability efforts.

In summary, Schneider Electric’s EM4800 and EM400 energy meters combine innovative technology with practical features aimed at improving energy management. Their advanced monitoring capabilities, versatile communication options, and focus on power quality make them essential tools for organizations seeking to enhance operational efficiency while reducing their carbon footprint. By investing in these cutting-edge energy solutions, businesses can take significant strides towards sustainable energy management and operational excellence.
