Product Description
Chapter Objectives
After completing this chapter, you should be able to
identify the product features and system applications.
Introduction
The Bulletin 1403, Powermonitor II, is uniquely
designed and developed to meet the needs of
producers and consumers of electric power. The
Powermonitor II is a microprocessor based
monitoring and control device well suited for a
variety of applications. Use of voltage, current, status
inputs, and relay connections allows the
Powermonitor II to provide monitoring and control
information. This data is useful in substation and
distribution centers, electrical control panels, and
many utility, commercial, and industrial applications
including motor control centers. The Powermonitor
II is a sophisticated modern alternative to traditional
electro-mechanical metering devices. One
Powermonitor II can replace many individual
transducers and meters within a single package. The
Powermonitor II is operator friendly and provides the
user with easy to understand, accurate information in
a compact economical package.
General Description
The Bulletin 1403 Display Module, an optional
input/ output device, can be used to set up and
configure the Bulletin 1403 Master Module for
operation. This is accomplished through the Display
Module’s front panel which includes four tactile
operator buttons and a liquid crystal display. All
communications between the Display Module and
Master Module are conducted over a serial fiber optic
link. (The Display Module is easily mounted into a
typical instrument panel analog meter cutout.)
A second optional feature allows for remote
communications through the use of a Smart
Communications Card co-located with the Master
Module. Both the Display Module and the Smart
Communications Card are microprocessor based
providing better resolution, accuracy, and speed to
the Bulletin 1403 Master Module. The bulletin 1403
Powermonitor II and the Communication Cards are
Year 2000 compliant.
Performance Features
The Powermonitor II performance features include:
•
Voltage, current, power measurements and display
•
28 ms to 90 ms selectable update rates for
metering results (1403-MM only)
•
90 ms fixed update rate (1403-LM only)

•
Input monitoring via status inputs
•
Time stamped data logging of system
measurements and events
•
Harmonic Analysis (1403-MM only)
•

recordings (1403-MM only)
Device Configuration
The Powermonitor II comes from the factory with
default settings but can be configured for local site-
specific requirements. This is accomplished using the
Display Module or one of the Communications Cards
which allow operation and configuration parameters
to be sent to the Master Module.
In conjunction with the Communications Cards, a
personal computer running RSPower™ or
RSEnergy™ software can be sent to the Master
Module.
