•xDSL filter if required (many businesses have their internet access on
the same line as the fax)
Site Planning1.Determine the number of PowerLogic EM4800 series meters to be
installed and ensure adequate space. For clearances, see Figure 4 on
page 10.
2.Determine the number of analog phone lines or Ethernet drops
required, and ensure they are installed before installing the PowerLogic
EM4833, EM4880 and EM4805 meters. The recommended maximum
number of PowerLogic meters per phone line is 50.
3.Determine the number and types of meters or monitors required
(single-phase, network, or three-phase).
4.Determine the model number and correct sense voltage based on the
voltage label on the top right side of the unit.
Access to Power and Lighting
The installation site must be supplied with access to the main electrical panel
and any sub-panels. Portable or permanent lighting must be available to
provide the installers with a clear view of the equipment and of the installation
environment. Each installation may vary depending on physical site
restrictions.
Installation ProceduresThis section provides information about activities that must be performed to
install the PowerLogic EM4833, EM4880 and EM4805 meters in a
single-phase 2-wire, single-phase 3-wire (network), or three-phase 4-wire
application. The installation procedures must be performed in the following
order:
1.“Mounting the PowerLogic EM4800 meter” on page 9
2.“Installing Potential Transformers for Three-Phase Service Greater
Than 277V” on page 11
3.“Installing the Sense Voltage and Control Voltage Cables in Wye and
Delta Services” on page 13
4.“Installing the Current Transformers” on page 21
5.“Connecting the Communications” on page 30
a.“Connecting the Phone Line” on page 30
b.“Connecting the Ethernet Cable” on page 30
c.“Manually Testing Communications” on page 30
Mounting the PowerLogic EM4800 meter Figure 4 shows the general mounting layout for metering 120V/208V wye
services, and Figure 5 shows the general mounting layout for metering
347V/600V wye services.
1.Remove the front cover from the meter by removing the four screws
with a #2 Phillips screwdriver. Retain the cover and screws for later
re-installation.
2.Mount the PowerLogic meter on the wall and secure it by inserting a
screw in each mounting keyhole and tightening the screws.
3.Mount the shorting block enclosure on the wall as shown in Figures 4
and 5. Secure it by inserting a screw in each mounting keyhole and
tightening the screws.
4.Install the conduit for voltage and current connections.
In Figure 4, the meter is powered and takes its sense voltage directly from a
breaker within the panel.
