information and operating procedures.
Figure 3-1: PM130 PLUS Unit
3.1 Indicators and Controls
Device Diagnostics
After applying power to the meter, a one-digit start-up diagnostic code is
shown for 1 second on all LEDs. Code 8 indicates a normal power-up
sequence. You can observe the list of device diagnostic codes recorded
during restart and meter operation via the Status Display.
When the meter records a diagnostic message, the diagnostic “i” LED
flashes until you reset the device diagnostics via the Status Display. The
diagnostic LED can be disabled or enabled through the display setup (see
Configuring the Display).
Numeric LED Display
The meter has a simple user interface that allows you to view numerous
measurement parameters by scrolling through different display pages. The
numeric LED display shows up to three parameters at a time. Small
rectangular or round LEDs at the right and below the display indicate the
displayed parameters and their measurement units.
The display layout may change depending on the meter type and mode of
operation.
There are three modes of display operation:
o Data display
o Status display

Chapter 3 Using F R O N T D I S P L A Y Data D I S P L A Y
oProgramming mode
display.
Load Bar Graph
The load bar graph displays the amount, in percent (40% to 110%), of
the present current load with respect to user-defined nominal load
current. The reference nominal current can be set up in amps through the
display setup (see Configuring the Display). If it is set to 0 (default), the
current load is referenced to the specified CT primary current.
Energy Pulse LED
The PM130E and PM130EH have a red “Energy Pulse” LED. It flashes at a
constant rate when a load is applied to the meter.
There are two modes of LED operation:
NORMAL mode: the LED pulses indicate imported Wh at a rate of
1,000 pulses per kWh
TEST mode: the LED pulses indicate either imported Wh, or imported
(inductive) varh at a rate of 10,000 pulses per kWh/kvarh
The energy test mode can be enabled through the Device Options setup.
When in test mode, the energy and demand accumulators do not account
for consumed energy.
Port Activity LEDs
The meter has two green LEDs “RX” and “TX”, which indicate activity on
the COM1 communication port. The LEDs flash when the port is receiving
or transmitting data.
Navigation Buttons
The PM130 is provided with six push buttons that are normally used to
navigate between different measurement displays.
The function of buttons changes depending on what operating mode the
display is in. In programming mode, the buttons access the device setup
menus where the default factory-set device settings can be changed.
3.2 Data Display
In data mode, the display is normally updated once every second. You can
adjust the display update rate via the display setup (see Configuring the
Display).
Display Features
Measurement Units
The PM130 PLUS has a selectable resolution for volts, amps and powers
presented on the front display and via communications. See Device
Options in Chapter 5 for information on selecting the data resolution in the
PM130 PLUS.
Low Resolution Option
Currents are displayed in whole amperes below 10,000 A, and in kilo
amperes above 10,000 A.
Measurement units for voltage and power depend on the voltage
connection scheme:
PM130 PLUS Powermeter Series47
Chapter 3 Using F R O N T D I S P L A Y Data D I S P L A Y
For direct wiring (PT=1) or wiring via PT with the PT ratio up to and
including 4.0, voltages are displayed in volts, and power in kilowatts.
For the PT ratio above 4.0, voltages are displayed in kilovolts with
three decimal places, and power in megawatts with three decimal
places.
High Resolution Option
Currents are displayed in amperes with up to two decimal places below
10,000 A, and in kilo amperes above 10,000 A.
Measurement units for voltage and power depend on the voltage
connection scheme:
When direct wiring is used (PT=1), voltages are displayed in volts
with one decimal place, and power in kilowatts with three decimal
places.
When wiring via PT is used with the PT ratio up to and including 4.0,
voltages are displayed in volts, and power in whole kilowatts.
For the PT ratio above 4.0, voltages are displayed in kilovolts with
three decimal places, and power in megawatts with three decimal
places.
The small round “Kilo” and “Mega” LEDs light up showing the appropriate
measurement units for a displayed page.
Primary and Secondary Volts
Volts can be displayed in primary (default) or secondary units. The volts
display mode can be changed through the display setup (see Configuring
the Display).
Phase Power Readings
In configurations with the neutral wire, in addition to total three-phase
powers, the meter can show per-phase power readings. By default, they
are disabled. See Configuring the Display on how to enable per-phase
power readings in your meter.
Fundamental Component
The PM130EH can display total displacement power factor and active
power for the fundamental component if it is enabled through the display
setup (see Configuring the Display).
When phase power readings are allowed, the PM130EH also displays perphase displacement power factor and active power for the fundamental
component.
Auto Return
If no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds while the display Auto Return
option is enabled, the display automatically returns to the main screen
from any other measurement display.
The Auto Return option can be enabled through the display setup (see
Configuring the Display).
Auto Scroll
If no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds while in the common
measurements display, and the Auto Scroll option is enabled in the meter,
the display automatically scrolls through all available pages. The scroll
interval can be adjusted through the display setup (see Configuring the
Display).

maximum available scales. If the parameter actually covers a lower range,
84PM130 PLUS Powermeter Series
Chapter 5 Configuring T H E P M 1 3 0 P L U S General M E T E R S E T U P
you can change the scales to provide a better resolution on an analog
output.
Scaling Non-Directional Analog Outputs
For non-directional analog outputs with a 0-1mA, 0-20mA or 4-20mA
current option, you can change both zero and full engineering scales for
any parameter. The engineering scale need not be symmetrical.
Scaling Directional Power Factor
The engineering scale for the signed power factor emulates analog power
factor meters.
The power factor scale is -0 to +0 and is symmetrical with regard to
1.000 (-1.000 +1.000). The negative power factor is scaled as -1.000
minus the measured value, and non-negative power factor is scaled as
+1.000 minus the measured value. To define the entire power factor
range from -0 to +0, the default scales are specified as -0.000 to 0.000.
Scaling ±1mA Analog Outputs
Programming engineering scales for directional ±1mA analog outputs
depends on whether the output parameter represents unsigned (as volts
and amps) or signed (as powers and power factor) values.
For an unsigned output value, you can change both zero and full
engineering scales.
For a signed (directional) value, you should only provide the engineering
scale for the +1 mA output current.
The engineering scale for the 0 mA output current is always equal to zero
for all values except the signed power factor, for which it is set to 1.000
(see Scaling Directional Power Factor above).
The meter does not allow access to the low scale setting if the parameter
is directional. Whenever the sign of the output parameter is changed to
negative, the meter automatically uses the full engineering scale setting
for +1 mA with a negative sign.
Scaling Analog Outputs for 0-2 mA and ±2 mA
The 0-1mA and ±1mA current outputs provide a 100% overload, and
actually output currents up to 2 mA and ±2mA whenever the output value
exceeds the engineering scale you set for the 1 mA or ±1mA.
The output scales for 0-1 mA and ±1 mA analog outputs are programmed
for 0 mA and +1 mA regardless of the required output current range.
To use the entire output range of 2 mA or ±2 mA, set the analog output
scales as follows:
0-2 mA: set the 1 mA scale to ½ of the required full scale output for
uni-directional parameters, and set the 0 mA scale to the negative
full scale and the 1 mA scale to zero for bi-directional parameters.
±2 mA: set the 1 mA scale to ½ of the required full-scale output for
both uni-directional and bi-directional parameters.
For example, to provide the 0 to 2 mA output current range for Volts
measured by the meter in the range of 0 to 120V, set the 1 mA scale to
60V; then the 120V reading will be scaled to 2 mA.
Configuring Counters

Configuring Alarm/Control Setpoints
The PM130 PLUS has an embedded logical controller that can perform
different actions in response to user-defined internal and external events.
Unlike a PLC, the meter uses a simplified programming technique based
on setpoints that allows the user to define a logical expression based on
measured analog and digital values that produce a required action.
The meter provides 16 control setpoints with programmable operate and
release delays. Each setpoint evaluates a logical expression with one
trigger argument. Whenever an expression is evaluated as “true”, the
setpoint performs a programmable action that can send a command to the
output relay, or increment a counter.
The logical controller provides very fast response to events. The scan time
for all setpoints is 1 cycle time (16.6 ms at 60Hz and 20 ms at 50/400
Hz).

Using Numeric Triggers
For numeric (analog) triggers, you can specify two thresholds for each
trigger to provide hysteresis (dead band) for setpoint operations.
The Operate Limit defines the operating threshold, and the second Release
Limit defines the release threshold for the trigger. The trigger thresholds
are specified in primary units.
If you do not want to use hysteresis for the trigger, set the Release Limit
to the same value as the Operate Limit.
Using Binary Triggers
Binary (digital) triggers like digital inputs and relays are tested for
ON/CLOSED or OFF/OPEN status.
In the PM130, the binary events are level-sensitive events. An event is
asserted all the time while the corresponding condition exists.
PM130 PLUS Powermeter Series89
Chapter 5 Configuring THE P M 1 3 0 P L U S General M E T E R S E T U P
Delaying Setpoint Operations
Two optional delays can be added to each setpoint to extend monitoring
triggers for a longer time before reaching a decision on whether the
expected event occurred or not. When a delay is specified, the logical
controller changes the setpoint status only if all conditions are asserted for
a period of at least as long as the delay time.
Using Setpoint Events and Actions
When a setpoint status changes, i.e., a setpoint event is either asserted or
de-asserted, the following happens in your meter:
The new setpoint status is logged to the setpoint status register that
can be monitored through communications from the SCADA system
or from a programmable controller in order to give an indication on
the expected event.
The operated setpoint status is latched to the setpoint alarm latch
register that can be inspected through communications and via the
display (see Status Display in Chapter 3). The register holds the last
setpoint alarm status until it is explicitly cleared through
communications or via the display.
A programmable action is performed on setpoint status transition
when a setpoint event is asserted.
Generally, setpoint actions are performed independently for each setpoint
and can be repeated a number of times for the same target. The
exceptions are relay operations that are shared for each target relay
between all setpoints using an OR scheme.
A relay output is operated when one of the setpoints linked to the relay is
activated and remains operated until all of these setpoints are released
(except for latched relays that require a separate release command to be
deactivated).
Using Time Counters
Any of the general counters can be used to count the setpoint operation
time. If you select the TIME CNT n action for a setpoint, the target
counter measures the time while the setpoint is in the operated state. The
counter resolution is 0.1 hour. See Status Display in Chapter 3 on how to
examine the counters via the front display.

5.4 Configuring Billing/TOU
The TOU battery-backed clock unit is highly recommended in case of using
time-scheduled tariff rates, otherwise a long power outage may cause the
meter clock to lose time so your tariff counters would not comply with the
calendar schedule.
Billing Energy Registers
The PM130E/EH PLUS has 4 fully programmable billing energy registers
that can be linked to any internal energy source or to an external pulse
source that delivers pulses through the meter digital inputs.
Any energy register can provide either a single-tariff energy accumulation
or be individually linked to the TOU system providing both total and multitariff energy billing.
Tariff Rates
The meter tariff structure supports 8 different tariff rates using an
arbitrary tariff schedule. A total of 4 types of days and 4 seasons are
supported with up to eight tariff changes per day.
Maximum Demand Registers
Any of billing energy registers can be individually linked to the maximum
demand register providing the same demand tariff structure as you
selected for energy registers.
Recording Billing Data and Load Profiling
The PM130E/EH PLUS can provide automatic recording of the daily energy
and maximum demand profile to a data log file. Maximum demand
profiling can be individually configured for every register.
See Factory Preset Data Log Files in Chapter 5 and Billing Profile Log File
in Appendix E for more information on the file layout and contents.
To configure the billing registers and the tariff system in your meter:
1. Link the billing registers to the respective energy sources.
2. Configure the options for the registers to whether the only
totalization or both total and tariff registers would be used, and
whether daily profiling should be enabled for the energy usage and
maximum demand registers.
3. Configure the daily tariff schedule using the TOU daily profiles for all
types of days and seasons.
4. Configure the season tariff schedule using the TOU calendar.
Configuring Billing/Tariff Registers
To configure the billing/TOU registers in your meter:

Figure 5-17: TOU Calendar Setup Dialog Box – TOU Calendar Tab
The meter TOU calendar allows you to configure any tariff schedule based
on any possible utility regulation. The calendar provides 32 entries that
allow you to specify profiles for working days and holidays through all
seasons in any order that is convenient for you, based on simple intuitive
rules.
To configure your season tariff schedule:
1. In the Season/Period box, select the season, and in the Day Type
box, select a day type for this calendar entry.
2. Define the time interval when this daily tariff schedule is effective,
based on the start and end weekdays and, for a multi-season
schedule, on the start and end month for the selected season. It does
not matter which order of weekdays or months you select: the meter
recognizes the correct order.
3. For exception days like weekends and designated holidays, define a
specific day either by a month and a month day, or by selecting a
month, a week and a weekday within the month.
There are no limitations on how to build your schedule. A common
recommendation is to use minimum time constraints and only when it is
needed to avoid ambiguity. You need not to define month days if a daily

specified month days, so it would be checked first for a match.
