This documentation is intended for those responsible for configuring the
PowerLogic EM4833, EM4880 and EM4805 meters.
System Set-up and DescriptionThe configuration tool supports the PowerLogic EM4833, EM4880 and
EM4805 meters.
Depending on how the meters are installed and configured, they can meter
8, 12, or 24 individual meter points. The PowerLogic EM4833, EM4880 and
EM4805 meters are designed for residential, commercial, and industrial use
and display the power and consumption readings for each measurement
point.
Configuration and Programming The configuration tool is used to set any of the programmable parameters of
the PowerLogic EM4800 Series meter. The combination of the configuration
tool and the state of the meter programming switches determine which
parameters can be set or changed. As shown in Figure 1, the programming
switches are two-position DIP switches labeled SW1, and are located inside
the meter cover below the Display button. To enable meter configuration,
both switches must be physically set to the ON (down) position (default).
Table 1 lists the programming capabilities associated with each parameter in
combination with the programming switches. After the meter has been
programmed, the programming switches can be turned OFF to prevent
tampering with metering parameters.
Display NavigationThe display on the front of the meter provides status information for each
circuit, and general information for metering. The PowerLogic EM4800 meter
has three buttons for navigating: a Display button, and left and right arrow
buttons. The display has a normal and a diagnostics mode.
Normal Mode
In Normal mode, the Display button scrolls through the information for each
meter. The left and right arrow buttons select the previous or next meter
points respectively. The following information is available:
•Real Energy Delivered kWh D
•Real Energy Received kWh R
•Real Power Watts
•Reactive Energy Delivered KVarhD
•Reactive Energy Received KVarhR
•Reactive Power Var
In Normal mode, the right and left arrow buttons scroll the display from meter
points 1 to 8, 1 to 12, or 1 to 24, depending on your configuration.
Diagnostics Mode
Diagnostics mode is accessed by pressing and holding the Display button for
5 seconds. In Diagnostics mode, pressing the Display button will scroll
through the following additional information:
•Send data command
•CT Primary value and Real Power Watts per phase
•Voltage per phase
•Local IP address
•Reset factory default IP address command
•Date and time (UTC)
In Diagnostics mode, the right and left arrow buttons scroll the display from
meter 1 through N. When the local IP address is shown on the LCD, use the
right and left arrow buttons to scroll through the following information:
Communications ConnectionsIf you are configuring the meter at the installation site, see the PowerLogic
EM4800 Series Meter Installation Guide for instructions on connecting the
power. Power connections vary depending on whether the meter is
configured for single-phase or three-phase operation.
If you are pre-configuring the meter in the shop, only Phase A, Neutral, and
protective earth connections are required to power up the PowerLogic
EM4800 Series meter for configuring.
The PowerLogic EM4800 Series Configuration Tool communicates with the
PowerLogic meters through an Ethernet network connection. A network
connection can be accomplished in two ways: either Direct using an Ethernet
crossover cable, or by connecting to a LAN (Local Area Network).
NOTE: If you are attempting to use the list function, the PC being used
to configure the device MUST be on the same network segment as the
PowerLogic meters to be configured. The connect function will allow
the user to find the PowerLogic meters on or off the same segment,
however you must know the correct IP address of the unit being
modified.

To view the manufacturing information for a specific meter, select a model
number from the Model # pull-down list shown in Figure 12. The part
number, revision number and serial number for the selected model will be
shown.
Meter Points (Circuits) TabThe Meter Points (Circuits) tab contains the configuration information for
each of the metering points. It shows the number of elements used, the
phase, the current ratings, and the user-defined identification string for each
meter point. Default information is entered when the metering configuration
is selected in the Manufacturing Tab (see “Manufacturing Tab” on page 18).
Meter Point Configuration
The current rating and phase assignment for each meter point can be
configured individually, by meter, or all at once. The configuration in all three
cases does not take effect until the new settings have been sent to the meter
(see “Completing the Meter Configuration” on page 23).
To change the current rating and phase assignment for an individual meter
point:
1.Select one probe at a time from the Meter Points (Circuits) List. The
selected probe number will appear in the middle pane beside Probe,
and its assigned Current and Phase are shown beneath it. See Figure
13.
2.To change the Current, enter the required number. To change the
Phase, select the required phase type from the pull-down list.
To change the current rating for all meter points assigned to a meter:
1.Select a meter from the Meter Points (Circuits) List. The selected
meter will appear in the Name field of the middle pane. See Figure 13.
2.In the Alter Current for Probes pane, enter the desired value
referenced to the CT primary rating in the Current field, and click on Change Probes in Selected Meter.
To change the current rating for all meter points assigned to all meters:
1.In the Alter Current for Probes pane, enter the desired value
referenced to the CT primary rating in the Current field, and click on
Change all Probes in all Meters. See Figure 13.
Badge Numbering
Each meter point can be configured with a name defined by the user. The
meter point name, known as the badge number, can be up to 13
alphanumeric characters in length. The Badge Numbering pane allows the
user to set two types of badge numbers:
•sequential, which assigns a badge number to each meter point after the
prefix (for example CORP-00000001 to CORP-00000012)
•grouped by meter, which uses a base prefix to designate the meter,
then assigns a sequential badge number suffix to each meter point
assigned to that meter (for example CORP-00001-01 to
CORP-00001-12)
The configuration tool provides examples before the badge number is
assigned to the meter. In the Badge Numbering pane shown in Figure 14,
the following fields and buttons are provided for assigning badge numbers:
•Prefix field - an alphanumeric field that prefixes the number field.
•Badge Number field - a numeric field that becomes part of the prefix
for meter points assigned to that meter, or the first number in the
sequence to be assigned to individual meter points.
•Badge Number Width field - a numeric field that defines the number of
digits in the badge number field. Zeroes (0) are automatically entered
at the beginning of the badge number field until the total number of
digits in the badge number field equals the number of digits defined in
the badge number width field.
•Incremental badge numbers button - selecting this button assigns a
sequential badge number for each meter point
•Single badge number button - selecting this button assigns one badge
number prefix followed by a numeric suffix for each meter point
assigned to that meter.
•Assign Badge Numbers button - selecting this button implements the
badge numbering defined by the user in the previous fields.
•Reset Dial Readings button - selecting this button resets all registers
for all energy types and pulse counts to zero. This function takes effect
immediately and does not require a send action.
•Send PC Time button - selecting this button configures the meter with
the current PC time and UTC. This function takes effect immediately
and does not require a send action. This function can be used when
access to the network time service is not available.
Pulse Probes TabThe Pulse Probes tab contains the configuration information for each pulse
input. It shows the measurement type in units for each input, and the scale
factor applied to the collected pulse counts. Figure 15 shows the Pulse
Probes tab of the main configuration tool window.
To configure a pulse probe:
1.Select a pulse probe from the Probe List.
2.Select a measurement type from the Type pull-down list.
3.Enter a value in the Scale Factor field.
NOTE: The scale factor only changes the pulse values in the TR3
report.
2.Click Unit in the menu bar, then select Send from the drop-down menu
to transmit the configuration settings from your PC to the selected
PowerLogic EM4800 Series meter. The confirmation message File loaded successfully! should appear in the bottom left corner of the
