WHAT IS THEThe POWERLOGIC Circuit Monitor is a multifunction, digital
CIRCUIT MONITOR?instrumentation, data acquisition and control device. It can replace a variety
of meters, relays, transducers and other components. The circuit monitor is
equipped with RS-485 communications for integration into any power
monitoring and control system. However, POWERLOGIC System Manager
application software—written specifically for power monitoring and
control—best supports the circuit monitor’s advanced features.
The circuit monitor is a true rms meter capable of exceptionally accurate
measurement of highly nonlinear loads. A sophisticated sampling technique
enables accurate, true rms measurement through the 31st harmonic. Over 50
metered values plus extensive minimum and maximum data can be viewed
from the six-digit LED display. Table 1-1 on page 3 provides a summary of
circuit monitor instrumentation.
The circuit monitor is available in several models to meet a broad range of
power monitoring and control applications. Table 1-2 on page 3 lists the
circuit monitor models. Table 1-3 compares the features available by model.
Circuit monitor capabilities can be expanded using add-on modules that
mount on the back of the circuit monitor. A voltage/power module and
several input/output modules are available. See I/O Capabilities in the CircuitMonitor Reference Manual for a description of the available I/O modules.

Bulletin No. 3020IB9814
December 1998
EXPANDED MEMORY (cont.) For applications where additional memory is required, you can order a
circuit monitor with an optional 512K or 1024K memory expansion card,
resulting in 612K or 1124K, respectively, total nonvolatile memory (100K
base memory plus the expansion card memory). Memory upgrade kits are
also available for most earlier circuit monitors. See Upgrading ExistingCircuit Monitors, page 5.
Requirements for UsingSystem Manager software version 3.02 with Service Update 1, 3.02a with
Expanded MemoryService Update 1, or 3.1 (or higher) is required to take advantage of expan-
sion card memory or the 100K of memory standard on G4 circuit monitors.
Earlier versions of System Manager software will recognize only 11K (the
Series G3 and earlier memory capacity) of available memory.
Also, your circuit monitor must be equipped with firmware version 17.008 or
later to take advantage of expanded memory. The following section tells how
to determine the firmware version shipped with your circuit monitor.
To determine if your circuit monitor firmware version has been updated
with downloadable firmware, see Viewing Configuration Data in ProtectedMode, page 45.
To obtain the latest available firmware revision contact your local Schneider
Electric representative (see Note, page 1.)
Identifying the Series andThe circuit monitor series and firmware revision number are printed on a
Firmware Revisionssticker on the top of the circuit monitor enclosure. Figure 1-1 shows a sample
Model NumbersCircuit monitor models equipped with an optional memory expansion card
are differentiated from standard models by a suffix—either -512k or -1024k—
added to the model number (table 1-4). As shown in the table, the memory
expansion option is available for model numbers CM-2150, CM-2250,
CM-2350, and CM-2450. The CM-2452 circuit monitor is now obsolete and
has been replaced by the CM-2450-512k, which has more memory at a lower
price than the CM-2452. However, existing CM-2452 circuit monitors can be
upgraded as detailed on the following page.

Chapter 2—Hardware Description
CHAPTER 2—HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
FRONT PANELThe circuit monitor front panel is designed for maximum ease of use. The
circuit monitor has five modes of operation:
• METERS — for viewing real-time metered data
• MIN — for viewing the minimum of the selected metered value
• MAX — for viewing the maximum of the selected metered value
• ALARM — for viewing the status of on-board alarms
• [Setup] — for setting up the circuit monitor
The general procedure for displaying data is simple:
1. Press the MODE button to select one of the five available modes.
2. Press the SELECT METER buttons to select a metered value.
3. Press the PHASE button to select a phase.
In [Setup] mode, use the alternate descriptions in grey to the right of the
LEDs. In SETUP mode, the PHASE, MODE, and SELECT METER buttons
function differently than in the other display modes. For details see
Chapter 4—Front Panel Operation.
Figure 2-1 shows the front panel of the circuit monitor. A description of the
front panel follows.
➀ 6-Digit LED display. For local display of metered values.
➁ Kilo/Mega LEDs. The Kilo LED lights when the displayed value is in
Kilo units. The Mega LED lights when the displayed value is in Mega
units.
➂ Meter Indication LEDs. The lit LED indicates the value being displayed.
➃ Setup/Reset Parameters. These grey, bracketed values are used to set up
the circuit monitor and perform resets. Refer to these values when in
[Setup] mode.
➄ Phase Indication LEDs. Indicate the phase for the displayed value.
Note: If you select a metered value that does not provide a reading for
the selected phase, the circuit monitor automatically jumps to a phase for
which a reading exists. For example, assume that you are viewing Phase
A Power Factor, then change to Frequency; the circuit monitor
automatically jumps from Phase A to 3-Phase, since the circuit monitor
does not provide a Phase A Frequency reading.
➅ PHASE Select Button. Press to select the phase for the selected meter
value. Note: In [Setup] mode, press this button to move from one setup
parameter to the next. See Chapter 4—Front Panel Operation for details.
➆ SELECT METER buttons. Press to change the metered value being
displayed. Note: In [Setup] mode, press these buttons to change the value of
the displayed setup parameter. See Chapter 4—Front Panel Operation
for details.

Wiring Multiple CircuitMultiple circuit monitors can share one set of 3-phase PTs. Also, multiple
Monitors to a Single Setcircuit monitors can share a single control power transformer (CPT). In all
of PTs/CPTcases, each circuit monitor must use a separate set of CTs. Figure 3-11 shows
how to connect multiple circuit monitors to a single set of PTs and CPT.
Note: When using this wiring method, ground the PT secondaries in only one
location.

Deriving Control PowerWhenever possible, derive circuit monitor control power from a stable
from Phase PT Inputsvoltage source. If such a source is unavailable, the circuit monitor can derive
control power from its phase PT inputs. Due to the wide range of permissible
control power inputs, the circuit monitor can accept either L-N or L-L control
power inputs up to 240 V nominal. Using the L-L control power option
increases the circuit monitor ride-through time and enables more reliable
operation during voltage disturbances.
Referring to figures 3-12 and 3-13, complete the following steps to derive control
power from phase PT inputs:
1.Connect the Va terminal (terminal 12) to the L terminal (terminal 25).
2.For L-N control power, connect the Vn terminal (terminal 9) to the N
terminal (terminal 27). For L-L control power, connect the Vc terminal
(terminal 10) to the N terminal (terminal 27).
3.Install protective terminal strip covers. See Appendix C for instructions.
CAUTION
!
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
When deriving control power from the phase PT inputs, the phase
PT used must have a VA rating sufficient for all connected burdens.
If the VA rating is exceeded, it could reduce the voltage transformer’s
accuracy or damage the PT.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in equipment
damage.

Daisy-Chaining
POWERLOGIC Devices
Note: To daisy-chain POWERLOGIC devices, use communications cable
containing two twisted-shielded pairs (Belden 8723 or equivalent). Connect the
wires to the circuit monitor’s terminals using the red spade connectors included
with the circuit monitor. Using a suitable crimping tool, crimp the red
connectors onto the communications wires.
Each communicating POWERLOGIC device has five RS-485 terminals for
connection to a POWERLOGIC communications link. On all devices, the
terminals are labeled IN+, IN-, OUT+, OUT-, and SHLD. On the circuit
monitor, the IN+, IN-, OUT+, OUT-, and SHLD terminals are numbered 20,
21, 22, 23, and 24, respectively.
To daisy-chain the circuit monitor to another POWERLOGICdevice, wire the
circuit monitor’s RS-485 communications terminals to the matching
communications terminals of the next device. In other words, wire the IN+
terminal of the circuit monitor to the IN+ terminal of the next device, wire
IN- to IN-, OUT+ to OUT+, OUT- to OUT-, and SHLD to SHLD.
See Figure 3-20.
If the circuit monitor is the last device on the daisy-chain, terminate it. See
Terminating the Communications Link in this chapter for instructions. If
the circuit monitor is the first device on the daisy-chain, connect it to the
PNIM, personal computer, system display, or programmable controller using
a CAB-107 or equivalent cable and a Multipoint Communications Adapter.
See Biasing the Communications Link in this chapter for instructions. See

POWERLOGIC Multipoint Communications Terminator (Class 3090 Type
MCT-485).
To terminate a circuit monitor, slide the terminator’s four spade connectors
under the IN+, IN-, OUT+, and OUT- terminals on the back of the circuit
monitor and tighten. Figure 3-20 shows proper placement of the terminator.
Figures 3-15 to 3-19 show the terminator applied in typical systems.
Notes:
• Terminate only the last device on the link. If a link has only one device,
terminate that device.
• Some POWERLOGIC devices use a removable communications connector. If
the last device on the communications link is not a circuit monitor, refer to
the instruction bulletin for that device for termination instructions.

THE SETUP MODETo access the Setup Mode, press the MODE button until the red LED next to
[Setup] is lit. The circuit monitor displays “Config”—the first of four setup
options. The circuit monitor displays the options as abbreviated
combinations of uppercase and lowercase letters. The abbreviations
displayed by the circuit monitor, and their full names are shown below.
The Configuration OptionThe Configuration option lets you configure the following values: CT and PT
primaries, system type, demand interval, WH/pulse output, device address,
baud rate, nominal frequency, and password. You can also reset energy,
demand, and min/max values. See Configuring the Circuit Monitor, page
42, for more information.
The Resets OptionThe Resets option lets you reset energy, demand and min/max values. These
same reset operations can be done using the Configuration option. The
difference is that using the Resets option, you cannot change circuit monitor
configuration values. See Performing Resets Using the Resets Option in this
chapter for more information.
The Alarm/Relay OptionThe Alarm/Relay option lets you configure the circuit monitor’s on-board
alarm/relay functions. (See Alarm Setup Information in the Circuit MonitorReference Manual for a complete listing of the circuit monitor’s predefined
alarm conditions.) For each of the circuit monitor’s predefined alarm
conditions, you can:
• Enable or disable it
• Assign a priority to it
• Define any required pickup and dropout setpoints, and pickup and
dropout time delays
• Setup the circuit monitor to operate up to three relay outputs when the
alarm condition occurs
See Setting Up Alarm/Relay Functions in the Circuit Monitor ReferenceManual for details on how to use this option.
The Diagnostics OptionThe Diagnostics option lets you read and write circuit monitor registers. Use
this feature with caution. Writing an incorrect value, could cause the circuit
monitor to operate incorrectly. See Reading and Writing Registers from theFront Panel in the Circuit Monitor Reference Manual for instructions on
reading and writing registers using the Diagnostics option.

PERFORMING RESETSThe Resets option lets you reset energy, demand, and min/max values. The
USING THE RESETSsame reset operations can be done using the Configuration option (described
OPTIONon the previous page). The difference is that using the Resets option, you can
The Resets option is password protected. To access the Resets option, you
must enter either the master password, or a special reset password. (See
Setting the Master Password in this chapter for instructions on defining the
master password.)
The reset password can be used to prevent accidental changes to
configuration values. For example, you could provide an operator with the
reset password only, allowing the operator to perform resets, but not change
configuration values.
The reset password defaults to the master password. The circuit monitor’s
factory default master password is 0. Therefore, when you receive a new
circuit monitor, its reset password is also 0. When you change the master
password, the reset password changes to match it. To define a reset
password different than the master password, you must write a unique
value—in the range 1–9998—to circuit monitor register 2031. You can write
to register 2031 in one of two ways:
• From a remote PC, using POWERLOGIC application software. (Refer to
the software instruction manual for specific instructions on writing to
circuit monitor registers.)
• From the front panel of the circuit monitor, using the Diagnostics option.
(See Reading and Writing Registers from the Front Panel in the CircuitMonitor Reference Manual for instructions on reading and writing registers
using the Diagnostics option.)
Important: After you’ve defined a reset password, you can access the Resets
option using either the reset password or the master password.
To perform resets using the Resets option, refer to figure 4-3 and complete the
following steps:
1.Press the MODE button until the red LED next to [Setup] is lit.
The circuit monitor displays “ConFig.”
2.Press the down arrow SELECT METER button once.
The circuit monitor displays “rESETS.”
3.Press the PHASE [Enter] button to select the Resets option.
The circuit monitor displays the password prompt “P - - - -.”
4.Enter either the master password or the reset password.
To enter a password, use the SELECT METER [Value] buttons to increase
or decrease the displayed value until it reaches the password value. Then
press the PHASE [Enter] button.
5.Follow steps 4–9 of the reset procedure described on the previous page.

SETTING UP ALARM/RELAYThe circuit monitor (models CM-2150 and higher) can detect over 100 alarm
FUNCTIONSconditions, including over/under conditions, status input changes, phase
unbalance conditions, and more. (See Alarm Conditions and Alarm Codes
in the Circuit Monitor Reference Manual for a complete listing.)
Each alarm condition can be set up to automatically operate one or more
circuit monitor relays. Also, multiple alarm conditions can be assigned to
operate the same relay(s). For a description of the circuit monitor’s alarm/
relay functions, see Alarm Functions in the Circuit Monitor Reference Manual.
If you do not have POWERLOGIC application software, you can set up the
circuit monitor’s on-board alarm/relay functions from the circuit monitor’s
front panel. Perform this set up using the Alarm/Relay (AL.rLY) option, one
of the circuit monitor’s four setup options. For each alarm condition you can:
• Enable or disable the alarm condition
• Assign a priority level to the alarm condition
• Define any required pickup and dropout setpoints, and pickup and
dropout time delays
• Set up the circuit monitor to operate up to three relay outputs when the
alarm condition occurs
The circuit monitor’s relay outputs provide ten operating modes. (See RelayOutput Operating Modes in the Circuit Monitor Reference Manual for
descriptions of the modes.) When you assign an alarm condition to operate a
relay from the front panel of the circuit monitor, the circuit monitor
configures the relay to operate in Normal
mode. If Normal mode is not
acceptable, you’ll need to do one of the following:
• Set up the circuit monitor’s alarm/relay functions over the
communications link, using POWERLOGICapplication software (which
lets you choose from the 10 available modes)
• First set up the alarm/relay functions from the circuit monitor’s front
panel, then change the relay’s operating mode by performing register
read/writes using either POWERLOGICapplication software or the
circuit monitor’s Diagnostics option (see Reading and Writing Registersfrom the Front Panel in the Circuit Monitor Reference Manual for
instructions on reading and writing registers using the Diagnostics
option)

the alarm condition “Over Current Phase A.” Refer to Alarm SetupInformation in the Circuit Monitor Reference Manual while setting up
alarm/relay functions.
5.Use the SELECT METER [Value] buttons to increase or decrease the
displayed alarm number until you reach the desired number.
The circuit monitor display stops alternating while you change the alarm
number. If an alarm condition is enabled, the circuit monitor displays the
alarm condition’s priority to the left of the alarm number. For example, if
you had previously enabled alarm number 1 and assigned it priority 0,
the circuit monitor would display “P0 1”.
6.Press the PHASE [Enter] button to select the alarm number.
If you have not previously enabled this alarm condition, the display
alternates between “ENAbLE” and “OFF.” If you’ve previously enabled
this alarm condition, the display alternates between “ENAbLE” and the
chosen alarm priority (P0, P1, P2, or P3).
7.To enable the selected alarm condition, and to assign the alarm condition
a priority level, press the down arrow SELECT METER [Value] button
until the desired priority level is displayed.
Note: Using POWERLOGIC software, you can assign one or more of the
following actions for each alarm condition. The circuit monitor performs the
assigned actions each time the alarm condition occurs, no matter what the
priority level.
– Operate one or more relay outputs
– Force data log entries into 1–14 user-defined data log files
– Perform a 4-cycle waveform capture
– Perform a 12-cycle event capture

VIEWING THETo provide a record of high priority alarm occurrences, the circuit monitor
PRIORITY 1 LOGmaintains a priority 1 log (P1 log). See Setting Up Alarm/Relay Functions in
this chapter for a complete description of the priority levels, and instructions
on assigning priority levels from the front panel.
The P1 log stores up to 10 of the last priority 1 alarms. The log operates in a
first-in-first-out (FIFO) manner. In other words, when the log is full, the
oldest log entry (the first in) is removed to make room for the new entry.
When a priority 1 alarm occurs, the circuit monitor records it in the P1 log.
The alarm remains in the P1 log until one of the following occurs: 10 new P1
alarms occur pushing it out of the log, or you manually clear the P1 log (see
Clearing the Priority 1 Log on the next page).
Note: The ALARM mode LED, on the circuit monitor’s front panel, flashes while at
least one of the following conditions is true: a nonzero priority alarm is active, or a
priority one alarm has occurred since the last time the priority 1 log was cleared.
You can view the P1 log from the circuit monitor’s front panel. The following
procedure tells how.
To view the P1 log, complete the following steps:
1.Press the MODE button until the red LED next to ALARM glows
steadily.
The circuit monitor displays “P1.Log.”
2.Press the PHASE [Enter] button.
The circuit monitor displays the alarm code of the lowest priority 1
alarm. If no priority 1 alarms have occurred since the P1 log was last
cleared, the circuit monitor displays -None-.
Each alarm code is displayed with either an “rLY” extension or an “AL”
extension. If you have set up the alarm condition to operate one or more
relays, the code appears with an rLY extension (for relay). If you did not
set up the alarm condition to operate a relay, the code appears with an
AL extension (for alarm only).
4.Press the down arrow SELECT METER [Value] button to cycle through
the alarm codes.
The circuit monitor displays the codes from lowest to highest.
5.To exit the P1 log but remain in the ALARM mode, press the PHASE
[Enter] button. To exit the ALARM mode altogether, press the MODE
button.

Chapter 4—Front Panel Operation
CLEARINGTo provide a record of high priority alarm occurrences available for display
THE PRIORITY 1 LOGfrom the front panel, the circuit monitor maintains a priority 1 log (P1 log).
See Setting Up Alarm/Relay Functions in this chapter for a complete
description of the priority levels, and instructions on assigning priority levels
from the front panel. See Viewing the Priority 1 Log on the previous page
for instructions on viewing the P1 log.
The P1 log stores up to 10 of the last priority 1 alarms. The log operates in a
first-in-first-out (FIFO) manner. In other words, when the log is full, the first
alarm entry in (the oldest) is the first out.
When a priority 1 alarm occurs, the circuit monitor records it in the P1 log.
The alarm remains in the P1 log until one of the following occurs: 10 new P1
alarms occur (pushing it out of the log), or you manually clear the P1 log.
The procedure below tells how to clear the P1 log.
IMPORTANT: Clearing the P1 log causes the circuit monitor to release all
relays that meet the following conditions:
• The relay must be configured to operate in latched mode.
• The relay must be configured for internal control. In other words, you
must have set up the circuit monitor to operate the relay in response to an
alarm condition.
• All alarms assigned to operate the latched relay must not be in their alarm
state.
To clear the P1 log, complete the following steps:
1.Press the MODE button until the red LED next to ALARM glows
steadily.
The circuit monitor displays “P1.Log.”
2.Press the SELECT METER [Value] buttons until “CLEAr” is
displayed.
3.Press the PHASE [Enter] button.
The circuit monitor displays “CLr. No”.
4.To abort the clear, press the PHASE [Enter] button.
5.To clear the log, press the up arrow SELECT METER [Value] button to
change from “CLr. No” to “CLr.YES.” Then press the PHASE [Enter]
button.
The circuit monitor clears the P1 Log, and releases any relays that meet
the conditions described above.

Chapter 5—Maintenance and Troubleshooting
CHAPTER 5—MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
MAINTENANCEThe circuit monitor does not require regular maintenance, nor does it
contain any user-serviceable parts. If the circuit monitor requires service,
contact your local Schneider Electric sales representative, or call the
POWERLOGICTechnical Support Center for assistance. See Getting
Technical Support in this chapter. Do not open the circuit monitor. Opening the
circuit monitor voids the warranty.
Battery-Backed RAMThe circuit monitor uses battery-backed nonvolatile RAM to retain all data
except calibration constants. Calibration constants are stored in nonvolatile
EEPROM, which requires no battery. The circuit monitor’s battery-backed
RAM lasts many decades under typical operating conditions. The
battery-backed RAM is activated when the circuit monitor is manufactured.
With no control power applied to the circuit monitor, the battery can back up
RAM for a continuous period of 7 years at 70°C. Once control power is
applied, the RAM battery is no longer under load. Under no load, the life of
the battery-backed RAM is 100 years at 55°C continuous, 40 years at 60°C
continuous, and 10 years at 70°C continuous. Should the RAM ever need
replacement, contact your Schneider Electric representative.
