Power Meter I-LEM Package Connections
- Install the power meter shorting block (included in package), according to the instructions provided, prior to installing the Power Meter I-Line Enable Module.
- Install Power Meter I-Line Enable Module according to the I-Line Enable Module installation instructions.
- When connecting the CTs to the shorting block of the Power Meter I-Line Enable Module, note that typically "X1"="White"="+" and "X2"="Black"="-". However, refer to the CT manufacturer’s specifications for the exact nomenclature equivalent to primary "X1" and secondary "X2."
- If the system uses an alarm output or additional inputs, connect to the appropriate Input/Output terminals on the accessory panel of the Power Meter I-Line Enable Module identified as X = D1/D2 (Outputs) and Y =S1/S2 (Inputs).
- If the voltage system requires a neutral, a connection must be made from the panelboard neutral to the terminal identified as "VN" on the accessory panel in the Power Meter I-Line Enable Module.
- Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 socket connector
labeled "ETHER 1" on the accessory panel for remote set-up or monitoring
of the Power Meter I-Line Enable Module.
Optional: A second Ethernet RJ45 connection, labeled "ETHER 2," is available for daisy chaining additional Power Meter I-Line Enable Modules, or for daisy chaining Ethernet communicating equipment.
Refer to Power Meter I-LEM Communication Schematic Diagram and Metering Packages - Installation Schematics.
- If communicating circuit breakers are present in the same
system with the Power Meter, they are interconnected to the communication
system via an IFM I-Line Enable Module in conjunction with a U-PaS
I-Line Enable Module.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector (labeled "ETHER 1") on the accessory panel of the Power Meter I-Line Enable Module and to the RJ45 connector (labeled "ETHER 2") on the U-PaS I-Line Enable Module to daisy chain the two devices.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector labeled "ETHER 1" on the U-PaS accessory panel for remote set-up or monitoring of the network.
Connect the Modbus Serial cable to the RJ45 connector labeled "RS-485" on the U-PaS accessory panel for daisy chaining an IFM I-Line Enable Module. This connection allows the system to feature ULP connections to provide communication to communicating circuit breakers.
Refer to Power Meter I-LEM Communication Schematic Diagram, Power Meter I-LEM with Communicating Circuit Breakers Communication Schematic Diagram, and Metering Packages - Installation Schematics.
