HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
?
Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work
practices. In the USA, see NFPA 70E.
?
Only qualified electrical workers should install this equipment. Such work should be performed
only after reading this entire set of instructions.
If the equipment is not used in the manner specified by the manufacturer, the protection
?
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
?
NEVER work alone.
?
Before performing visual inspections, tests, or maintenance on this equipment, disconnect all
sources of electric power. Assume that all circuits are live until they have been completely deenergized, tested, and tagged. Pay particular attention to the design of the power system.
Consider all sources of power, including the possibility of backfeeding.
?
Turn off all power supplying the power meter and the equipment in which it is installed
before working on it.
?
Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.
?
Before closing all covers and doors, carefully inspect the work area for tools and objects that
may have been left inside the equipment.
?
Use caution while removing or installing panels so that they do not extend into the energized
bus; avoid handling the panels, which could cause personal injury.
?
The successful operation of this equipment depends upon proper handling, installation, and
operation. Neglecting fundamental installation requirements may lead to personal injury as
well as damage to electrical equipment or other property.
?
NEVER bypass external fusing.
?
NEVER short the secondary of a PT.
?
NEVER open circuit a CT; use the shorting block to short circuit the leads of the CT before
removing the connection from the power meter.
?
Before performing Dielectric (Hi-Pot) or Megger testing on any equipment in which the power
meter is installed, disconnect all input and output wires to the power meter. High voltage
testing may damage electronic components contained in the power meter.
?
The power meter should be installed in a suitable electrical enclosure.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury

Refer to Edit set parameters for

programming.

Program the following readings for accurate readings:

A.PRI, A.SEC: Set these values to match your CT primary and secondary values. For
example, if your CT ratio is 200:5, set A.PRI =200.0 and A.SEC = 5.000.
V.PRI, V.SEC: Set these values to your input voltage VLL of circuit, if your input voltage
is < 600 VACLL. For example, if the input voltage is 300 VACLL, set V.PRI = 300.0 and
V.SEC = 300.0.
Use potential transformer (PT/VT), if the input voltage > 600 VACLL. Set the V.pri and
V.sec values to match the primary and secondary of the PT(VT) respectively. For
example, if PT(VT) ratio is 11 kV: 110, set V.pri = 11.00 k and V.sec = 110.0.
Select one of the following systems according to your wiring configuration.
SYS = Star for 4-phase 3-wire system
SYS = Delta for 3-phase 3-wire system
SYS = 2-phase for 2-phase 3-wire system
SYS = Single-phase for single-phase 2-wire system

The PROG menu setup gives the complete list of user-programmable parameters.
?
You must set up the power meter to match the application settings before use.
Otherwise, readings will be wrong.
?
All the setup parameters can be re-programmed, using SET. However, the following
settings critically determine the scaling of the measured readings: SYS (star or delta),
Vpri, Vsec, Apri, Asec.
?
The scaling may be used to minimize the errors in reading due to Instrument
Transformer errors. However, wrong settings will introduce errors in readings on other
running systems.

Your EM6400 series power meter is equipped with an energy integrator function which
provides several parameters for Energy Management: VAh, Wh, VARh (Ind), -VARh (Cap),
RUN.h (run hours), ON.h (on hours), INTR (Interruptions / outages). All the values stored in
INTG are direct readings and have high resolution.
A few of these need explanation:
RUN.h: Indicates the period the load is ON and has run. This counter accumulates as long
as the load is ON.
ON.h: The period for which the auxiliary supply (control power) is ON.
INTR: Number of supply outages, means the number of auxiliary supply interruptions. If
power meter auxiliary supply is from a UPS then the INTR (number of interruptions) will be
zero (as long as the UPS stays ON), even if the voltage signals die out from time to time.

Integrator Overflow
The energy values stored in INTG are based on V.Pri x A.Pri; they are independent of
secondary values of V and A.
The energy value readings will overflow based on V.Pri x A.Pri of the primary settings in
setup, when 9999 run hours is reached.
The energy parameter for overflow is user selectable (Wh or VAh) through setup. By
default it is Wh or by the Run hours which is fixed 9999 Run hours (almost 13.88 months).
For power systems ranging from 1 VA to 1000 MVA, the integrator will overflow at 9999
run hours. The duration required for the integrator to overflow will be 13.88 months if the
power meter is constantly running at full scale.
However, in case of power systems greater than 1000 MVA, the integrator will overflow at
a value less than 9999 run hours. The duration required for the integrator to overflow will
be less than a year if the meter is constantly running at full scale.

After the successful CODE entry, the display shows CLR INTG.

OLD Data Register

When the integrator is cleared (manually or due to overflow), the energy values stored in
the integrator will be transferred to the OLD register.
Thus the old energy values are not lost even after the integrator is cleared and can be
viewed with the OLD parameter.
NOTE: For energy studies clear the Integrator at the end of each
observation. This transfers all the stored energy values to the OLD register,
where they are held while the Integrator begins accumulating data for
the next observation. Remember that the next time the Integrator is
cleared, the OLD values will be overwritten.
