The meter contains hazardous voltages, and should never be disassembled. Failing to
follow this practice will result in serious injury or death. Any work on or near energized
meters, meter sockets, or other metering equipment could induce a danger of electrical
shock. It is strongly recommended that all work should be performed only by qualified
industrial electricians and metering specialist. ICP DAS assumes no responsibility if
your electrical installer does not follow the appropriate national and local electrical
codes.

3.2 Safety
Please use the soft dry clothes to clean the instrument.
Please do not use any chemical or detergent or volatile solvents to clean the instrument,
in order to avoid any possibility of the cover damage.
Products come with external split type clip-on CT’s. Disconnect the CT’s or use
other CT’s is highly prohibited.
Please read this operation manual carefully before using.
Please re-confirm the measure position.
PM-4324 seriescan be installed as rail mounting mode or embedded, no need to
drill a hole or screw to fix it (rail mounting width can up to the length of 35 mm).
Assembly: Place the PM-4324 on the DIN-Rail. Push the front of the PM-4324
toward the mounting surface until it audibly snaps into place.
Dismantling: Pull out the latch and then remove the PM-4324 from the DIN-Rail.
Wire Disconnection
1. Open the CT clip to detach the CT, do not remove the CT terminal lines if
possible
Note: if you need to remove the terminal lines, always detach the CT before
removing the CT terminal lines. Otherwise the CT may develop open-circuit
secondary voltages which may be hazardous to personnel or damaging to the
CT or equipment connected in the secondary circuit.
2. Disconnect the voltage input wires from terminals and wrap the wire tips with
plastic tape.
3. Disconnect the communication wires from terminal.
4. Disconnect the auxiliary power from terminal and wrap the wire tip with plastic
tape.
Please firstly check the current input terminal, and then in white black, white black,
white black wire sequences (CT1-K, CT1-L, CT2-K, CT2-L, CT3-K, CT3-L). Then
connect the CT’s, and close the CT clip. Make sure the arrow direction sign on CT’s
follows current flow direction(K→L)
Note: it must be in thesame direction.
Connect the voltage input terminal N C B A. for PM-4324, in the three phase order
as follows on N C B A.
Attention please!! For 3P3W-2CT, connect in N C A phase sequence, do not
connect phase B (Check the diagram).
1. PM-4324 series: Input Voltage up to 500V.
For any higher Input Voltage large than 500V, please add the PT (power transformer), and Change PT
RATIO setup.
2. Confirm the RST (ABC) phase sequence.
Current Input
1. The external CT’s are fragile, please handle with care.
2. The current input of PM-4324 series is in mA range. Only the ex-factory attached CT’s can be used. The other CT’s, for example, from panel will damage the instrument due to its large current (around
5A)
3. When more than one smart meter (PM-4324 series) are installed, please do not disconnect the CT
with its original meter and mix use with each other. Since each set of smart meter (PM-4324 series)
and its attached split type clip-on CT are calibrated set by set. The mix use may cause wrong
measurements.
4. To install CT’s correctly, please ensure the CT lines sequences is right before clip the CT’s onto the
power cable of the monitoring equipment. (Detail will be found in next section)
5. When measuring the current, the secondary circuit of a CT should never be
opened when a load is passing through its primary. Make sure you always open
the CT clip to detach the CT before removing the terminal lines. Otherwise, it will cause severe
injury.
6. Please handle with extra care, especially when the operation space of CT’s is limited.
7. The current direction must follow K-L marked on CT’s.
8. Please select the right size CT’s for different size of monitoring equipment cables:
power cable diameter <Φ10 use 60A CT,Φ10~Φ16 use 100A CT,Φ16~Φ24 use 200A CT, ,Φ36 use 300A CT,Φ36 use 400A CT
9. The maximum current value cannot exceed the CT rating
The PM-4324 has 4 LED to indicate the unit power status, RS-485 communication, and
power data calculation.
RUN: Green, light up after RS-485 ready. LED will flash when the unit is processing
RS-485 communication.
PWR: Red, Power on LED always on.
DO0: Green. LED DO0 will light up, when DO0 is “ON”.
DO1: Green. LED DO1 will light up, when DO1 is “ON”.
Add the Bias Resistor on RS-485 Network for stable signal
The RS-485 master is required to provide the bias for PM-4324 series. Otherwise, the tM-SG4
or SG-785 should be added to provide the bias. All ICP DAS controllers and converters provide
the bias.
