Voltage transformers are required when metering services greater than 120V
to reduce the line-to-neutral voltage of the service to 120V. The accuracy
class should be 0.3% or better, with a burden rating of 30VA.

For applications in Canada, Measurement Canada approved voltage
transformers are required. Measurement Canada requires an accuracy class
of 0.3% or better, with a 150VA rating.

Voltage transformers must be mounted in a listed electrical enclosure. Mount
the voltage transformer enclosure between the supply voltage and the
PowerLogic meters. Transformer configuration must be Y||Y (wye-wye).

E4800 Series

Installing the Reference Voltage and Power Cable in a 120V Application

The reference voltage (A, B, C, N) provides phase voltages for metering. The
configuration depends on the type of service being metered:

• single-phase with 1 CT

• single-phase with 2 CTs

• three-phase 3 CTs

The PowerLogic E4833, E4880 and E4805 meters are shipped from the
factory with an AC power block between the control power input and the
reference voltage inputs to provide control power to the unit. The following
procedures explain how to connect the reference voltage inputs for each of
the service types.

For a single-phase panel, use a 3-wire (red, black, white), 14 AWG
(1.63 mm
black, blue, white), 14 AWG (1.63 mm

2

), 90°C (194°F) cable. For a three-phase panel, use a 4-wire (red,

2

) cable. Metallic, flexible armored
cable (BX cable) is recommended for commercial installations as shown in
Figure 6 on page 12.

The PowerLogic E4833, E4880 and E4805 meters must be connected to the
reference voltage and control power through a properly rated voltage
disconnect that disconnects all line and neutral wires, so it can be powered
down. The disconnect must be located within easy reach of the meter
operator, and must be labeled as such. Opening the disconnect or breaker is
the disconnect device. For multiple PowerLogic meter installations, the same
disconnect can be used to power all meters, and must be labeled for all
meters it supplies power to. The disconnect device must meet IEC 60947-1,
IEC 60947-3 and/or comply with the local electrical code.

To install the reference voltage wiring in a 208Y/120V or 120/240V
application:

DANGER

split-core 0.333V CTs (see Figure 8), and the PowerLogic E4880 meter uses
80mA CTs only (see Figure 9) and is typically used where accuracy is
important and long secondary CT wiring is required (up to 300 feet [91.44
meters]). For instructions, see “Installing CTs on the PowerLogic E4833 and
PowerLogic E4880” on page 15.

The PowerLogic E4805 uses 5A secondary CTs. For instructions, see
“Installing 5A CTs on the PowerLogic E4805” on page 18.

Current transformers connect to the PowerLogic E4833 and PowerLogic
E4880 meters through the 50-conductor CT cable provided with the meter.
Table 2 describes the CT wire pairs and the cable color scheme for each
meter point. You can also find this information on the inside of the meter’s
outer cover.

Each CT has a black (positive) and white (neutral) wire pair. Typically,
butt-splice connectors are used to attach the CT to a specific meter input.
The direction of the energy flow is indicated on the CT.

Connecting the Communications Connections for communications using the modem or Ethernet are described

in this section.

Connecting the Phone Line

If the modem reporting option is being used, an analog telephone patch cable
and a splitter may be required to connect the customer phone line to the
PowerLogic E4800 meter.

1. Connect the patch cable between the termination block of the phone
line and the PowerLogic E4800 meter.

2. Route the cable through the slot in the PowerLogic E4800 meter
enclosure.

3. See the PowerLogic E4800 meter Configuration Guide for instructions
on how to program the meter for dial-out operation before performing a
manual configuration test.

Connecting the Ethernet Cable

If the Ethernet port is used to report data, an RJ45 patch cable is required to
connect the Ethernet port to the local Ethernet network.

1. Route the cable through the slot in the PowerLogic E4800 meter
enclosure.

2. If the local network automatically assigns IP addresses through a
DHCP server, the PowerLogic E4800 meter will be able to report using
its factory default IP settings. If the local network is configured for static
IP addresses, refer to the PowerLogic E4800 meter Configuration
Guide for instructions on how to configure default static IP addresses.

Start-Up Sequence Use the following procedure to start up the PowerLogic E4800 meter.

1. Ensure that all CT and reference voltage wiring is securely installed.

2. Remove all tools from the work area.

3. Re-install all cover plates and equipment covers.

4. Power up the meter. The LCD on the front panel of the meter indicates
the operating status of the unit as follows:

a. Initial power up message “PowerLogic E48XX”

b. After the internal configuration is complete, the display shows

default information for the first meter.

Manually Testing Communications

This procedure clears the meter memory, manually tests the
communications from the PowerLogic E4800 meter, and updates the meter
clock. To force the meter to send data, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the Display button for 5 to 7 seconds until the
diagnostics mode is displayed, then release.

2. If communicating via Ethernet, press the Display button until "Local IP
Address" appears on the display.

© 2009 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved

a. If the IP address is 169.254.0.10, the meter has not found a

DHCP server. As a result, the meter will use its default IP
configuration and may not be able to report. See the PowerLogic
E4800 meter Configuration Guide for instructions on how to
program default IP addresses.

b. If the IP address is not 169.254.0.10, the meter has acquired an

IP address from the local network, and will be able to report data
and synchronize time.

3. Press the Display button until the “Send” command appears on the
display.

4. Press the center or the right arrow button to manually force the
PowerLogic E4800 meter to report metering data using the Ethernet or
modem connection. This clears data from the PowerLogic E4800 meter
memory, and ensures the time is set correctly.

Pulse Inputs There are two pulse in terminal blocks in the PowerLogic meter, as shown in

Figure 10. Each terminal block has a negative terminal pin on the right and a
positive terminal pin on the left. The pulse inputs are compatible with both dry
form A contacts, and solid-state form A contacts. The inputs are not
polarity-sensitive to dry relay contacts. When the pulsing device provides
solid-state form A outputs, the negative terminal from the source device must
be connected to the negative terminal of the PowerLogic meter pulse in
terminal block.

Display Navigation The PowerLogic E4800 meter has three buttons to control the information

presented on the LCD. The display has a normal and a diagnostics mode.
The PowerLogic E4800 meter display starts in normal mode, and enters
diagnostics mode when the Display button is pressed and held for 5 seconds.
To adjust the contrast, hold down the Display button, and use the right and
left arrow buttons to increase and decrease the contrast respectively.
