COMMUNICATIONS
Through a built-in infra-red (IrDA) port, the meter can be programmed through a lap top computer without a physical wire connection to the meter, making programming or data download convenient and safe. Using standard high speed Modbus communications, the meter can also provide data to RTUs, PLCs and other control devices. When used with the EnerVista suite of software, the meter can be remotely monitored.
The EPM 6000 provides two independent communication ports with advanced features.
IrDA port – Uniquely the unit has an optical IrDA port allowing the unit to be set up and programmed using a remote laptop without needing a communication cable. The second port is factory selectable to be either a RS485 port or an Ethernet port with features as follows:
- RS485 Port – This port provides RS485 communication using Modbus ASCII or Modbus RTU or DNP 3.0 protocol. Baud rates are from 9600 to 57.6 kbaud
- Ethernet Port – This port provides connectivity via a 10/100BaseT RJ45 connection. Modbus TCP protocol is supported

INSTALLATION
Unique Current Input Connections
EPM 6000 meter uses a two current input wiring methods.
- Method One - CT pass through. Directly pass the CT through the meter without any physical termination on the meter. This insures that the meter cannot be a point of failure on the CT circuit. This is preferable to utility users when sharing relay class CTs. No Burden is added to the secondary CT circuit.
- Method Two - Current “Gills.” The meter additionally provides ultra-rugged termination pass through bars allowing the CT leads to be terminated on the meter. This also eliminates any possible point of failure at the meter. This method is also a preferred technique for ensuring relay class CT integrity does not get compromised. No terminal blocks are required and this stud based design ensures that CTs will not open under a fault condition.

The EPM 4600 empowers users with greater energy awareness leading to improved tenant attraction and retention and greater overall efficiency throughout facilities.
Application Example: Multi-Tenant Metering
Challenge
In a commercial shopping mall, multiple tenants distributed throughout the building and various building operation elements such as heating/cooling systems, water management, lighting and transportation (escalators/elevators) all consume energy. Often, it is difficult for building owners and operators to know the amount of energy consumed by each element.
Solution
The EPM 4600 provides a multi-feed energy submetering solution that allows owners and operators to quickly, accurately and centrally measure power and energy usage of specific areas. With its extensive communications capabilities, installation of the single multi-feed meter is simple and allows for existing secure Wi-Fi networks to be utilized to perform data collection.
User-Friendly Touch Screen Display
Two Size Options for Flexible Installation
Energy and metering information is easily presented to users via pre-configured, user friendly, optional, touch-screen, color LED displays that connect to the EPM 4600. These low power consumption, 65K color displays are available in two sizes: a larger 5.7” (PL4600-DIS5700) and a smaller 3.5” (PL4600-DIS3500) display.
User-Friendly Installation and Setup
Installation is quick and simple using the included display installation kit and a standardized 22mm panel mount, circular cutout. The lower power consumption display is remotely powered by a supplied 24VDC standard plug power supply. Each display comes with pre-configured screens and communications for plug-and-play, out of the box use. Further customization of the display settings such as changing the default display screen or communications settings are available through on-screen setup menus.
Local and Remote Display Connectivity
Communications to the display are provided via the EPM 4600 RS485 serial communications port and/or optional RJ45 Ethernet port. This allows users the capability and flexibility of installing local or remote displays depending upon visualization requirements.
