the meter’s direct connect maximum voltage limits. The meter's voltage measurement
inputs are rated by the manufacturer for up to 400 V L-N / 690 V L-L. However, the
maximum voltage allowed for direct connection may be lower, depending on the local
electrical codes and regulations. In US and Canada the maximum voltage on the meter
voltage measurement inputs may not exceed 347 V L-N / 600 V L-L.
If your system voltage is greater than the specified direct connect maximum voltage, you
must use VTs (voltage transformers) to step down the voltages.

Voltage and current input wiring
For wiring instructions and safety precautions, see the meter installation sheet that was
shipped with your meter, or download a copy at www.schneider-electric.com.
Voltage input protection
The meter’s voltage inputs must be wired to fuses/breakers and a disconnect switch. If
using a voltage transformer (VT), both primary and secondary sides of the VT must be
wired to fuses/breakers and disconnect switches.
•Clearly label the device’s disconnect circuit mechanism and install it within easy reach
of the operator.
•The fuses / circuit breakers must be rated for the installation voltage and sized for the
available fault current.
•Fuse for neutral terminal is required if the source neutral connection is not grounded.
See the meter installation sheet for fuse ratings.
Current input protection
For all connected current inputs, use a CT shorting block to short-circuit the secondary
leads of the CTs before removing the current input connections to the meter.
PowerLogic™ PM5300 series user guide Chapter 3—Hardware Reference
Balanced system considerations
In situations where you are monitoring a balanced 3-phase load, you may choose to
connect only one or two CTs on the phase(s) you want to measure, and then configure
the meter so it calculates the current on the unconnected current input(s).
NOTE: For a balanced 4-wire Wye system, the meter’s calculations assume that there is
no current flowing through the neutral conductor.
Balanced 3-phase Wye system with 2 CTs
The current for the unconnected current input is calculated so that the vector sum for all
three phase currents equal zero.
Balanced 3-phase Wye or Delta system with 1 CT
The currents for the unconnected current inputs are calculated so that their magnitude
and phase angle are identical and equally distributed, and the vector sum for all three
phase currents equal zero.
NOTE: You must always use 3 CTs for 3-phase 4-wire center-tapped Delta or
center-tapped open Delta systems.
Control power wiring
Communications
Serial communications
For wiring instructions and safety precautions, see the meter installation sheet that was
shipped with your meter, or download a copy at www.schneider-electric.com.
The meter can be powered from an AC or DC power source.
•L1 and L2 are non-polarized. If using an AC power supply with neutral, connect
neutral to the meter’s L2 terminal.
•Always use a fuse on L1. Fuse L2 when connecting an ungrounded neutral to the
control power.
•If using a control power transformer, fuse both primary and secondary sides of the
transformer.
•The fuses / circuit breakers must be rated for the installation voltage and sized for the
available fault current.
This section provides additional information about the communications ports and
topologies supported by the meter. You must wire and configure the RS-485 port or the
Ethernet port in order to communicate with the meter.
The meter supports serial communications through the RS-485 port. Up to 32 devices can
be connected on a single RS-485 bus.
In an RS-485 network, there is one master device, typically an Ethernet to RS-485
gateway. It provides the means for RS-485 communications with multiple slave devices
(for example, meters). For applications that require only one dedicated computer to

communicate with the slave devices, an RS-232 to RS-485 converter can be used as the
master device.
RS-485 wiring

RS-485 maximum cable length
The total distance for devices connected on an RS-485 bus should not exceed 1200 m
(4000 ft).
After you have wired the RS-485 port and powered up the meter, you must configure the
serial communications port in order to communicate with the meter.
Each device on the same RS-485 communications bus must have a unique address and
all connected devices must be set to the same protocol, baud rate, and parity (data
format).
NOTE: To communicate with the meter using ION Setup, you must set the parity to
“None” for all devices in the RS-485 network.
For meters that do not have a display, you must first wire and configure each one
separately before connecting these meters to the same RS-485 bus.

Digital outputs
Ethernet configuration
To communicate with the meter through Ethernet, all devices must have a unique IP
address and be set to the same subnet mask and gateway.
•To configure Ethernet communications, see “Setting up Ethernet communications” on
page 37.
The meter is equipped with two digital output ports (D1, D2). You can configure the digital
outputs for use in the following applications:
•switching applications, for example, to provide on/off control signals for switching
capacitor banks, generators, and other external devices and equipment
•demand synchronization applications, where the meter provides pulse signals to the
input of another meter to control its demand period
•energy pulsing applications, where a receiving device determines energy usage by
counting the k_h pulses (k_h = kWh, kVARh or kVAh depending on the energy
parameter selected) coming from the meter’s digital output port
The digital outputs can handle voltages less than 40 V DC. For higher voltage
applications, use an external relay in the switching circuit.

details.
Status inputs
The meter is equipped with two status input ports (S1 and S2). You can configure the
status inputs for use in status monitoring applications.
Relay outputs
The meter’s status inputs require an external voltage source to detect the status input’s
on/off state. The meter detects an ON state if the external voltage appearing at the status
input is within its operating range.
The external voltage can be derived from either the whetting output provided by the meter
or by a voltage source up to 36 V DC external to the meter.
Status input connections
The meter is equipped with two Form A mechanical relay output ports (Relay 1 and Relay
2). Relay outputs can be configured to be used switching applications, for example, to
provide on/off control signals for switching capacitor banks, generators, and other
external devices and equipment.
