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
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.
