CHAPTER 1: MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

.

InstallationTo install the EPM 4600 Unit:

1. Mount the unit against any firm, flat surface. 2. Use a #10 screw in each of the four slots on the flange to ensure

that the EPM 4600 unit is installed securely. IMPORTANT! For safety reasons, mount the EPM 4600 unit in an enclosed and protected environment, such as in a switchgear cabinet.

Electronic Installation

Electronic Installation

All Primary and Secondary circuits can, at times, produce lethal voltages and currents. Avoid contact with any current-carrying surfaces. The current inputs are only to be connected to external current transfomers (CTs).


CHAPTER 2: ELECTRONIC INSTALLATION

Service:• Three Phase, 4-Wire WYE Service Direct Voltage and 3 CT

Connection for Metering 8 Three Phase Loads: EPM 4600-T

All CTs must have one side grounded to reduce shock hazard. GE Digital Energy highly recommends using shorting blocks so that the meter can be removed from service while the CT is energized.

Chapter 3: Metering System Configuration


Metering System Configuration

Connecting the EPM 4600To configure the EPM 4600 Metering System:

1. Connect to the EPM 4600 unit through its USB port:Use a USB Type A to B plug to connect from your PC’s USB port to the EPM 4600 unit’s USB port. If your PC doesn’t automatically find the USB driver, download it from the product CD that came with the EPM 4600 unit (see Chapter 11 in the EPM 4600 Metering System Installation and Operation Manual on the CD).NOTE: The EPM 4600 Quickstart guide shows connection using the USB port. For Ethernet/Wifi or RS485 connection, see the EPM 4600 Instruction Manual.


CHAPTER 3: METERING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

2. Open GE Communicator software (download from product CD). 3. Click Connect on the tool bar. You will see the Connect screen,

shown on the right. Make sure the Address, Baud Rate, and Protocol settings match the ones here.

4. Click Connect - the Device Status screen confirms the connection; then click OK - the GE Communicator application’s main screen opens.

USB Port



Configuring the EPM 46001. Click the Profile button on the tool bar. The Device Profile screen

opens. The Tree menu on the left side of the screen lets you choose setting screens.

2. Click System Settings to open one of the screens shown below. Use this screen to name the EPM 4600 unit (CPU) and to label the circuits (individual meters). You must give the EPM 4600 CPU an individual, unique name to properly download data to the database.



3. Click Communications (see instructions below).4. Click CT, PT Ratios and System Hookup (see instructions below).



Communications SettingsCOM 1: RS485/ Ethernet/WIFI (optional)

Address: 1-247; Baud Rate: 57600; Protocol: Modbus RTU/Modbus ASCII;



Response Delay: 0-750ms; Parity: Odd, Even or None

COM 2: USB portNOTE: The USB port settings are fixed.

COM 3: RS485Address: 1-247; Protocol: Modbus RTU/ASCIIBaud Rate: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600Response Delay: 0-750msNOTE: Click the (1)Default to Ethernet or (2)Default to Display button to set either the (1)Ethernet settings for COM1 or (2)Display settings for COM3, to their default values.

CT, PT Ratios and System HookupNote that the settings you see on the screen depend on your EPM 4600 unit’s circuit configuration. The top screen is for an EPM 4600 unit with the single phase circuit configuration (EPM 4600-S). The bottom screen is for an EPM 4600 unit with the three phase circuit configuration (EPM 4600-T). For PT settings, see the EPM 4600 Metering System Instruction manual, on the enclosed CD. The CT settings are: CT Ratios

CT Numerator (Primary): 1 - 65535



CT Denominator (Secondary): 10 or 2 Amps, depending on the EPM 4600 unit’s ordered option (this field is display only).

Updating the Device:To Update the EPM 4600:

1. When changes are complete, click the Update button to send a new profile to the EPM 4600 unit.

2. Click Cancel to Exit the screen.NOTE: For further details and additional programming screens, refer to the GE Communicator Software User Manual on the enclosed CD (access the software manual by clicking Help>Contents from the GE Communicator application’s Title bar).
