Step 4: Power Up the Meter

The E5600 is powered from the line it is monitoring. Ensure voltage levels are
compatible with the input ratings of your meter.

1. For transformer rated applications, open the CT shorting blocks and close
the PT connections (or direct voltage connections).
2. Apply power to the socket.

The meter automatically detects the service type and voltage, displaying the
information on the front panel and performing a diagnostic check of the
installation. This diagnostic confirms if the service matches the meter form
type (for example, a 9S meter form will not function as a 36S meter form).
If the meter cannot determine the service type upon initial power up, the
meter will continue to scan the voltage and phase information every minute
until correctly identifying the service type.

NOTE
An E5600 can be re-installed as a different service type (i.e. 120 V service
changing to 277 V service) without needing to be re-programmed.

Refer to “Error Codes” on page 33 for information on displayed errors and

resolutions.

NOTE
Before adding your meter to your Modbus network, it must be configured.
Refer to “Step 6: Configure the Meter using ION Setup” on page 21 for
configuration requirements.

Step 6: Configure the Meter using ION Setup

Before adding the meter into your Modbus network, you must configure the
following parameters through an initial connection to ION Setup software via
the optical port.

‹ Modbus ID
‹ Baud rate
‹ Parity
‹ PT and CT ratios

To initially connect ION Setup via the optical port:

1. Put the meter into diagnostic mode by placing a strong magnet over the
reed switch. Refer to “Appendix B: E5600 Default Displays” on page 33
for diagnostic mode information.
2. With the magnet in place, connect a computer running ION Setup
software to the meter’s optical port with an optical probe.
3. Start ION Setup software for initial configuration as described in the ION
Setup Device Configuration Guide.

NOTE
While the meter is communicating via the front optical port, RS-485 (Modbus)
data will not be updated.

Use ION Setup software for all meter configuration. Ensure you have the
latest features by downloading the latest version of ION Setup from
www.powerlogic.com.
Once basic communications settings have been set via the optical port, you
can use ION Setup to configure the meter over the RS-485 network.
Configurable aspects of the E5600 include:
‹ Front panel display
‹ User information
‹ Demand interval and type

You can also upload firmware updates to the meter using ION Setup.
Refer to the ION Setup Device Configuration Guide for details.

PowerLogic E5600 Installation and operation guide

Step 7: Modbus Network Integration

The meter communicates serially to the Modbus network via RS-485 wiring.
Communication adapters are required for distances greater than
1219 meters (4000 feet). The Modbus connection is active when the meter is
wired into the Modbus network with an active master device. Modbus data
will not update while the front optical port is in use, but will be updated as
soon as the front optical port is no longer in use.

Read-only Modbus registers provide Device Information, Energy and

Demand, Meter Phase, Power Factor and Frequency (per phase voltage and
current values, overall power factor and frequency measured values),
Diagnostics details and Configuration information.

Read/Write Modbus registers allow you to view and modify your meter’s
Date/Time and Digital output parameters.

Modbus data is stored and transmitted as follows:

‹ 16-bit Modbus registers are transmitted high-order byte first.
‹ 32-bit Modbus registers are transmitted first register first, for example:
40101 = kW total (UINT32)
40101 = most significant word of the data, 40102 = least significant
word.
Refer to the ION Setup Device Configuration Guide for information on how to
set up and configure your meter.

Time Synchronization Considerations

Time syncing the meter causes the demand interval to be reset, which creates
artificially low real-time demand values. Only time sync the meter during
periods of low demand, or at the beginning of the demand interval.
The meter supports UTC or local time, with no Daylight Savings Time
correction applied.

Appendix B: E5600 Default Displays

You can customize the E5600 display using ION Setup. These are standard
displays provided with every meter. Refer to “Front Panel Display” on
page 19 for a diagram of the front LCD display.

Accessing the Display Sequences

There are three display sequences: Normal, Alternate, and Diagnostic.

Normal Display Sequence

The meter automatically scrolls through the normal display sequence under
normal operating conditions.

Alternate Display Sequence

12 o’clock
The alternate display sequence includes more screens than the normal
sequence. To activate the alternate display sequence, swipe a strong magnet
over the meter in the 12 o' clock position; this activates the reed switch. The
word “Alt” appears on the display before the alternate display sequence
starts.

The meter automatically exits back to the normal display sequence after one
pass through the alternate displays.

Diagnostic Display Sequence

This sequence is designed to facilitate troubleshooting problems in the meter
installation. All normal meter functions continue while in the diagnostic
display sequence. To activate the diagnostic display sequence, hold the
magnet over the reed switch. After three seconds the display will go blank
briefly, which indicates the beginning of the sequence.

To exit, remove the magnet; the meter returns to the normal display
sequence.

When the meter is in diagnostic mode, Modbus communications are

suspended. All other meter functions continue without interruption.

Refer to “Diagnostic Screens” on page 35 for more information.

Error Codes
Refer to “Error Codes” on page 36 for a listing of the front panel error codes
and their resolutions.

Diagnostic Screens
D1 (Polarity and Cross-phase)
The D1 diagnostic checks for proper phase relationships of voltage, incorrect
polarity of voltage, internal meter measurement malfunction, and faulty site
wiring. The envelope of the voltage phasors is fixed at ± 10. If the voltage
phasor values measure more than ± 10 from their nameplate value position,
an error will be detected. This check is not performed when phase A voltage
is missing.

D2 (Phase Voltage Deviation Check)

The Phase Voltage Deviation Check verifies loss of phase voltage, incorrect
phase voltage, shorted voltage transformer windings, or incorrect voltage
transformer ratio by detecting differences between phase voltage
magnitudes. This check uses the nameplate voltage per phase as a reference.
The tolerance range of the voltage deviation (10%) is pre-programmed.

D3 (Inactive Phase Current Check)

The Inactive Phase Current Check verifies that the service is maintaining an
acceptable current level and is expected to detect current diversion and an
open or shorted CT circuit. The low current value is pre-programmed into the
register and will have a limit starting at the creep level of the meter and up to
200 A in increments of 1 mA (default 5 mA). Each phase can have a separate
threshold. The error flag will trip if one or more currents fall below its
threshold and at least one current remains above this value for more than 15
seconds. The error flag will not trip if all phase currents fall below their
thresholds.

D4 (Phase Angle Displacement Check)

The Phase Angle Displacement Check diagnostic verifies that the elements
are sensing and receiving the correct current for each phase of the service
and indicates poor load power factor system conditions and reversed CT's.
The phase displacement angle (default 90°) is pre-programmed. Angles for
leading and lagging loads are separately programmable. The current
phasors must be within this programmable phase with respect to their voltage
phasor to pass this diagnostic check. This is calculated with respect to its
respective voltage phasor, not necessarily phase A's voltage phasor. The
check is not performed if Diagnostic #3 did not pass or if phase A voltage is
missing.

D6 (Current Magnitude Imbalance Check)

This diagnostic compares the current of each phase with the other phases in
the installation. If the ratio between any phase current and the average of all
phase currents exceeds the user programmable percentage (default 10%),
then this diagnostic flag is tripped. The check is not performed if Diagnostic
#3 did not pass, if the average current is below 0.5% of class, or if phase A
voltage is missing.

D7 (Energy Polarity Check)

The D7 diagnostic checks for reverse energy flow of one or more phases. If
the energy polarity (watts) for any phase is negative, this flag will be tripped.
This check is not performed if phase A voltage is missing.

Error Codes
Error codes are shown on the meter’s front panel display.

Non-scrolling Errors
Non-scrolling errors are flagged with the number 1, and cause the error code
byte to lock at the end of the display sequence. Activating the reed switch will
cause auto-scrolling to continue for one more pass in the alternate display
mode.

Scrolling Errors
Scrolling errors are flagged with the number 2, and allow auto-scrolling to
continue with the error code byte inserted at the end of the display sequence.
