Distribution System Monitoring - Using power parameters to
show power flow, system topology and distribution equipment
status.

preserve system stability in the event of sudden utility outage.
•
Power System Control - Managing system voltage, harmonic
distortion and power factor.
The Powermonitor 3000 is a sophisticated modern alternative for
traditional electro-mechanical metering devices. A single
Powermonitor 3000 can replace many individual transducers and
meters. The Powermonitor 3000 is operator-friendly and provides the
user with easy to understand, accurate information in a compact
economical package.
Master Module The Master Module contains the main microprocessor-based
monitoring functions, including terminations for power system
connections, status inputs, control outputs, a native RS-485
communications port and a port for the Display Module
Configuration
Although the Powermonitor 3000 ships from the factory with default
settings, you will need to configure it for your particular requirements.
You may configure the Powermonitor 3000 using the optional Display
Module. Alternately, you may use an external device or application to
write configuration, operational parameters and commands to the
Master Module through its native or optional communications port.
Refer to the Powermonitor 3000 User Manual, publication
1404-UM001 for additional detail.
Optional external applications that you may use for Powermonitor
3000 configuration include RSPower32™ and RSEnergyMetrix™
software operating on a personal computer. Contact your local
