PowerMonitor 5000 Unit Overview
Safety
Product Description The PowerMonitor 5000 unit is the next generation of high-end electric
metering products from Rockwell Automation. This new family of meters
provides advanced technology, new functionality, faster response, and superior
accuracy. The M5 model is the base version and provides an extensive range of
metering functionality. The M6 model expands the metering capabilities of the
M5 with basic power quality monitoring functionality, including harmonics up
to the 63rd, waveforms and logging, and classification of power quality events.
The PowerMonitor 5000 unit communicates power and energy parameters to
controllers, HMI software, and applications such as FactoryTalk

EnergyMetrix
software over the Ethernet network or other optional networks. The
PowerMonitor 5000 unit works with controllers or software applications to
address key customer applications including the following:
• Load profiling – logging power parameters such as real power, apparent
power and demand, for analysis of power usage by loads over time
ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel, following accepted safety procedures,
can install, wire, and service the PowerMonitor 5000 unit 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 can 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 CTs and the PowerMonitor 5000
unit must 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 PowerMonitor 5000 unit is not 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.
