SAMMS-MVE is preloaded with seven across-the-line control
circuits, and the desired control circuit can be selected using
the Hand-Held Communicator (HHC.) Alternatively, a custom
across-the-line circuit may be downloaded from a PC.
The test/reset button is used to test and reset the overload
function and to test the front panel lights.
Diagnostics
Eight diagnostic LEDs, located on the front panel, provide
information about conditions affecting the motor.
Statistical Data about the Motor
The microprocessors memory stores statistical data about the
motor and displays this data on the Hand-Held Communicator
(HHC).
Real-Time Metering Data
The Hand-Held Communicator displays real-time metering
data.
Local Displaying of Motor and Circuit Data
The HHC and the eight (8) diagnostic LEDs display motor and
control circuit data. The eight (8) diagnostic LEDs are located on
the front panel of the device.
Communicating with Other Devices
The SAMMS-MV device communicates with other devices via
the ACCESS system. When connected to the ACCESS system,
the SAMMS-MV device provides two-way communication with
the Power Monitor display and monitoring unit, an IBM PC-
compatible computer running the Power Monitor PC com-
munications and supervisory software or another supervisory
device. This ability allows you to control and monitor motors
from a centralized location. You can have remote access to all
SAMMS-MV data such as diagnostics, statistical data, real-
time metering, and controller status. If you would like to learn
more about the ACCESS system, refer to Installing the AC-
CESS System (manual no. SG6028).
A library of more than 40 typical control circuits exists for use
with SAMMS-MVX to meet applications ranging from simple

2 Installing the SAMMS-MV Device
This section provides instructions for installing the SAMMS-MV
device. You should adapt these instructions to suit the needs of
your installation and equipment.
2.1 Receiving and Storing the
SAMMS-MV Device
Thoroughly inspect the equipment before accepting the shipment from the transportation company. Compare each item
received against the packing list and report any shortages or
damaged equipment to the carrier.
If you are not going to install the SAMMS-MV device immediately, store it in a clean, dry location at ambient temperatures
from -40° C to 85° C. The surrounding air should not contain any
corrosive fumes or electrically conductive contaminants. The
storage location should prevent condensation from forming
within the equipment enclosure.
Note: Improper storage can cause equipment damage. Follow
all storage instructions carefully. Failure to follow storage instructions will void the warranty.
2.2 Where to Locate the Device
You can locate the SAMMS-MV device and its associated
devices in most industrial equipment environments. Unless the
device is designed for specific requirements, you should install
the SAMMS-MV device and its controller in an area where the
following conditions exist:
• Ambient air must be free of dirt, combustible vapor, steam,
electrically conductive or corrosive material.
• Area around the controller must provide access to the
equipment for inspection, maintenance and operation.
2.3 Mounting the Device
The SAMMS-MV device mounts in a front door panel of the low
voltage compartment of Siemens Series 81000™ medium
voltage control (MVC) equipment. Mount the device in the
normal low-voltage compartment associated with each medium voltage controller.
2.4 Connecting the Device
This section contains general guidelines that you should follow
to connect the SAMMS-MV device. These guidelines include
instructions for routing the wire, connecting the wire and
grounding the device. Use these guidelines to install the
SAMMS-MV device and its peripheral devices in a motor
controller. Also use these guidelines to connect the motor
controller to the motor.
When Siemens supplies a SAMMS-MV device as part of a
motor controller, Siemens personnel install the wiring between
the SAMMS-MV device and its peripheral devices in the motor
controller at the factory. The schematic diagram used contains
three components: a connection diagram, a ladder diagram
and a wiring diagram. The connection diagram illustrates the
connections between the SAMMS-MV device and its peripheral devices. The ladder diagram illustrates the control circuit
loaded into the SAMMS-MV device. Figure 2-1 shows a typical
connection diagram for the SAMMS-MV device.
If Siemens does not supply the motor controller, the retrofitter
or original equipment manufacturer should develop an equivalent electrical scheme.
2.4.1 Wiring Guidelines
You must observe the following guidelines when installing the
SAMMS-MV device and connecting it with its peripheral devices.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can cause pickup of
unwanted signals resulting in erratic operation and damage to
the SAMMS-MV device.
Guideline 1: Separate the low-voltage (115 VAC or less) from
the higher voltage conductors (460 VAC or higher) as much as
possible. If low-voltage and medium-voltage wires must cross
paths, make sure that they intersect at a right angle.
Guideline 2: To eliminate noise coupling, install all twisted pairs
or wrap wires in such a way that a complete twist or wrap occurs
at least every two inches.
Guideline 3: Place the low-voltage leads near the controller
chassis.
Guideline 4: Use at least AWG 14 stranded copper wire for any
low-voltage control wiring that you route outside the motor
controller enclosure. Connections to the SAMMS-MV unit must
be made with wire no larger than AWG 14.
Guideline 5: To avoid ground loops, ground each motor
controller at a single ground point.
The top portion of the device contains 16 terminal locations for
connecting control power leads, power supply, ground, inputs
and outputs. (Refer to Figure 2.2 for a description of each
terminal block assignment.)

2.4.2 Grounding the Device
As stated in Guideline 5, ground each motor controller at a
single ground point. The grounding path to earth must be
permanent and continuous. It must also be able to safely
conduct ground fault currents that may occur in the system to
ground through minimum impedance. The earth ground does
not carry any current under normal conditions.
Note: Do not ground the SAMMS auxiliary current sensor (ACT)
leads. (See figure 2.1.)

115VAC (CPT INPUT)
12VAC (CPT INPUT)
12VAC (CPT INPUT)
Connect a ground bus to the chassis of each controller or to the
chassis of the mounting equipment containing the earth ground
through a grounding conductor.
Refer to Article 250 of the National Electrical Code for information about the types and sizes of wire conductors and methods
for safely grounding electrical equipment and components.
2.4.3 Connecting the Device to a Control
Power Source
The SAMMS-MV device requires a 12 VAC control power
source in order to operate. Connect the control power source
to terminals 5 and 6 located on the top of the relay.
2.4.4 Connecting Input and Output Devices
to the SAMMS-MV Device
Connect your devices to the input and output connections on
the SAMMS-MV device as illustrated in Figure 2.2.
2.4.5 Communications Connection
The SAMMS-MV device is equipped with an RS-485 communications port on the back of the device. The communications
port allows connection to a communications module which
