Introduction

LIMITED WARRANTY

The manufacturer offers the customer an 24-month functional warranty on the instrument

for faulty workmanship or parts from date of dispatch from the distributor. In all cases,

this warranty is valid for 36 months from the date of production. This warranty is on a

return to factory basis.

The manufacturer does not accept liability for any damage caused by instrument

malfunction. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for the suitability of the

instrument to the application for which it was purchased.

Failure to install, setup or operate the instrument according to the instructions herein will

void the warranty.

Your instrument may be opened only by a duly authorized representative of the

manufacturer. The unit should only be opened in a fully anti-static environment. Failure to

do so may damage the electronic components and will void the warranty.

NOTE

The greatest care has been taken to manufacture and calibrate your instrument. However,

these instructions do not cover all possible contingencies that may arise during

installation, operation or maintenance, and all details and variations of this equipment are

not covered by these instructions.

For additional information regarding installation, operation or maintenance of this

instrument, contact the manufacturer or your local representative or distributor.

IMPORTANT

Please read instructions contained in this manual before performing

installation, and take note of the following precautions:

1. Ensure that all incoming AC power and other power sources are turned OFF

before performing any work on the instrument. Failure to do so may result in serious

or even fatal injury and/or equipment damage.

2. Before connecting the instrument to the power source, check the labels on the

side of the instrument to ensure that your instrument is equipped with the appropriate

power supply voltage, input voltages, currents, analog output and communication

protocol for your application.

3. Under no circumstances should the instrument be connected to a power

source if it is damaged.

4. To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the instrument to

rain or moisture.

Introduction 3

5. The secondary of an external current transformer must never be allowed to be

open circuit when the primary is energized. An open circuit can cause high voltages,

possibly resulting in equipment damage, fire and even serious or fatal injury. Ensure

that the current transformer wiring is made through shorting switches and is secured

using an external strain relief to reduce mechanical strain on the screw terminals, if

necessary.

6. Setup procedures must be performed only by qualified personnel familiar

with the instrument and its associated electrical equipment.

7. DO NOT attempt to open the instrument under any circumstances.

FRead through this manual thoroughly before connecting the meter to

the current carrying circuits. During operation of the meter, hazardous

voltages are present on input terminals. Failure to observe

precautions can result in serious or even fatal injury or damage to

equipment.

Introduction 1

1. Introduction

1.1 About The PM295

The PM295 is an advanced microprocessor-based digital instrument that

incorporates the capabilities of the network analyzer, data recorder and

programmable controller allowing for user network monitoring, analysis and control.

The instrument provides three-phase measurements of electrical quantities in power

distribution systems, monitoring external events, operating external equipment via

relay contacts, fast and long-term on-board recording of measured quantities and

events, harmonic network analysis and disturbance recording.

The PM295 can communicate with PLCs and PC based workstations via serial

communications and directly by transducing analog and discrete signals, serving as

excellent partner in power network management. All measurement functions of the

PM295 are remotely programmable via the communications port.

The accompanying PAS295 software package provides easy remote programming

for the instrument, data acquisition, analysis and on-screen presentation.

Introduction

NOTES

¬For all applications/outputs, the voltage parameters can represent line-to-neutral or line-to-line voltages depending on the

wiring configuration selected in the Powermeter. (4Ln3/3Ln3 = line-to-neutral voltages; all other configurations = line-to-line

voltages).

-In 3-wire connection schemes, the individual phase values for power factor, active power, apparent power and reactive power

will be zero, because they have no meaning. Only total three-phase power values can be used.

®In all grounded connections using either 4Ln3 or 4LL3 wiring configurations, harmonic voltages will represent line-to-neutral

voltages. In a 3-wire direct connection, harmonic voltages will represent line-to-neutral voltages that arise on the Powermeter's

input transformers. In a 3-wire open delta connection, harmonic voltages will comprise L12 and L23 line-to-line voltages.

¯Display readings are the maximum demands over entire time of survey.

°Measurements can be made via 16 programmable Min/Max registers.

Installation 11

2. Installation

2.1 Initial Inspection

Upon receipt, the instrument should be free of damage and in perfect order. To

confirm this, first inspect the instrument for physical damage incurred in transit. If

the instrument is damaged, inform your local distributor immediately. Only after you

have determined that the instrument is damage-free, test the electrical performance.

2.2 Mechanical Installation

Location

The instrument should be mounted away from heat sources in a dirt-free

environment. The instrument should not be operated in direct sunlight nor should it

come into contact with oil or moisture.

Although designed to operate in an electrically noisy environment, the instrument

should not be placed near very high electric fields. It must be placed at least one-half

meter (1.64 feet) from current lines carrying up to 600 amperes. For currents greater

than 600A and up to 2,000A, this distance must be at least 1 meter (3.28 feet).

In the event that the instrument is mounted in a harsh, noisy environment with high

potential for electromagnetic impulses from heavy switch gears, motors or lightning,

it is recommended to install appropriate protective devices such as lightening and

over-voltage arresters to all incoming voltage inputs.

Mounting

The PM295 is designed to be panel mounted. The dimensions of the cutout

necessary both for front (standard) and rear panel mounting are shown in Figures 2-

1 and 2-2.

For either front or rear mounting, the instrument is positioned through the cutout,

and the bracket(s) are then screwed to the back of the instrument as shown in the

figures. For front mounting, the four thrust screws are tightened against the panel to

affix the instrument in place.
