Powermonitor 1000 Overview
Safety Follow these advisories when using this product.
Introduction This manual covers advanced techniques for configuring setup
parameters and retrieving data from the power monitor using its
available communications. Typical applications include SCADA
applications using RSLinx Classic or OPC software to gather data from
the power monitor and applications using explicit messaging from
PLC controllers to retrieve data for control and information.
Please refer to the Powermonitor 1000 Installation Instructions,
publication
1408-IN001 for the following information:
•
Product description and functionality
•
Basic meter and communications setup using the LCD display,
HyperTerminal or the web interface
ATTENTION
Only qualified personnel, following accepted safety procedures,
should install, wire, and service the power monitor and its
associated components. Before beginning any work, disconnect
all sources of power and verify that they are de-energized and
locked out. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
personal injury or death, property damage or economic loss.
ATTENTION
Never open a current transformer (CT) secondary circuit with
primary current applied. Wiring between the CT’s and the
power monitor should include a shorting terminal block in the
CT secondary circuit. Shorting the secondary with primary
current present allows other connections to be removed if
needed. An open CT secondary with primary current applied
produces a hazardous voltage, which can lead to personal
injury, death, property damage or economic loss.
IMPORTANT
The power monitor is neither designed for, nor intended for, use
as a circuit protective device. Do not use this equipment in
place of a motor overload relay or circuit protective relay.
