Basic Metering Setup
We will begin with configuring the basic metering parameters. Click the Metering_Basic page under the open
Configuration folder. The page opens. You can select other configuration pages by clicking the desired page in the tree, or
by clicking the corresponding tab in the page.
This page displays the existing basic metering configuration of the power monitor, including the metering mode, PT (VT)
and CT ratios, nominal voltage and frequency, and demand. To change the basic metering setup, enter the desired values
into the text boxes, scroll down, and click Apply Changes. A dialog box appears to report the result of the setup change.
Native Ethernet Communication Setup
Click the Configuration folder and select the CommunicationsNative page. The PowerMonitor 5000 unit is set up by
default to obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. If your power
monitor is on a network served by a DHCP server, and the power monitor is connected to the network, it has probably
already been assigned an IP address.
We recommend that each power monitor be assigned a static, or fixed, IP address, since DHCP addresses can change from
time to time, resulting in loss of communication with client applications. Obtain a fixed IP address, subnet mask, default
gateway, and other network setup parameters from your network administrator. Another option can be to set up the power
monitor as a reserved client in the DHCP server.
EXAMPLE This Metering_Basic page illustrates the setup for a 480V, 3-phase system with 1000:5 current transformer
(CT) ratios on all phases and the neutral.
