FCC Notice for the Internal Modem

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules.
The ION 7330s label contains the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number
(REN) for this equipment. This information must be provided to the telephone company if
requested. Connection to the ION 7330s internal modem should be made via an FCC Part
68 compliant telephone cord (not supplied) that mates with the RJ-11 connector on the unit.
This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring
using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant. The Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN) is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone
line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the device not ringing in response
to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the
total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN for the ION 7330s optional
internal modem is 0.6. If the ION 7330 causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that a temporary discontinuance of service may be
required. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon
as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you
believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the modem within
the ION 7330. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order
for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. The ION 7330
cannot be used on a public coin phone service or party line services. Contact your telephone
company for information. If you experience trouble with the equipment, please contact
Power Measurement U.S.A. at 1-248-324-2409. If the equipment causes harm to the
telephone network for any reason, the telephone company may request that you disconnect
the equipment until the problem is resolved.
Industry Canada Ring Equivalence Number Notice

The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This
verification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network
protective, operational and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the users satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, you should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to
the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be
installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the companys inside
wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a
certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that
compliance with the above condition may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
Repairs to some certified equipment should be made by an authorized maintenance facility
designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment,
or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request
the user to disconnect the equipment.
You should ensure for your own protection that the ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to make such connections yourself. Contact the appropriate electric inspection authority,
or electrician.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the
percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device,
to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of
devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the REN of all devices does not
exceed 5. The REN for the ION 7330s optional internal modem is 0.6.
Network Compatibility Notice for the Internal Modem

The internal modem is compatible with the telephone systems of most countries in the
world, with the exception of Australia and New Zealand. Use in some countries may

WARNING
Failure to observe the following may result in severe injury or death:

During normal operation of the ION 7330, hazardous voltages are present on its termi-
nal strips, and throughout the connected potential transformer (PT), current transformer (CT), status input, control power and external I/O circuits. PT and CT
secondary circuits are capable of generating lethal voltages and currents with their primary circuit energized. Follow standard safety precautions while performing any
installation or service work (i.e. removing PT fuses, shorting CT secondaries, etc).
The terminal strips on the ION 7330 base should not be user-accessible after installa-
tion.
Do not use digital output devices for primary protection functions. These include appli-
cations where the device performs energy limiting functions or provides protection of
people from injury. If failure of the device can cause injury or death, or cause sufficient
energy to be released that a fire is likely, do not use the ION 7330. The ION 7330 can be
used for secondary protection functions.
Do not HIPOT/Dielectric test the digital inputs, digital outputs, or communications
terminals. Refer to the label on the ION 7330 for the maximum voltage level the device
can withstand.
Terminal strip torque:
Current, voltage, and relay terminals: 1.35Nm torque (max)

Digital Inputs/Outputs, communications, and power supply: 0.90Nm torque (max)
CAUTION
Failure to observe the following may result in permanent damage to the device:
The ION 7330 offers a range of hardware options that affect input ratings. The ION 7330
serial number label lists all equipped options. Applying current levels incompatible
with the current inputs will permanently damage the ION 7330. This document provides installation instructions applicable to each hardware option.
The ION 7330 chassis ground must be properly connected to the switchgear earth
ground for the noise and surge protection circuitry to function correctly. Failure to do so
will void the warranty.
The ION 7330 status inputs can only be used for dry contact sensing applications. Con-
nection of an external voltage source to any of the status inputs of a standard equipped
ION 7330 can cause permanent damage.

C AUTION
A switch or circuit breaker
should be included in the
installation, in close proximity
to the unit and within easy
reach to the operator. This
switch or circuit breaker should
be marked as the disconnecting device for the unit.
The basic model meter (with an integrated display) fits in a DIN standard
92 X 92 mm (3.6" X 3.6") panel cutout. Standard panel punches are useful if you
have a large volume of installations (contact Power Measurement if you require
assistance locating punch suppliers).
If electrical codes prohibit the extension of voltages greater than 120 VAC L-N (or
208 VAC L-L) to the door of the switchgear, wire the meter to a PT that provides
120 VAC at its secondary. See the sections starting on page 20 for more details
about the capabilities of the meters phase current, and phase voltage input
options.
Mounting the Basic Model

Fit the unit into the cutout then slide the supplied slide bars into the grooves on
either side of the unit. Insert the thumbscrews and tighten them until the slide bars
securely anchor the unit to the cabinet door.

Field Service Considerations
Meter Ordering Options

The options box on the meter label lists the codes for options that have been
ordered with the meter. The power supply option is reflected in the POWER
SUPPLY box. The relay expansion board, round adapter plate, and similar options
are ordered separately, and do not appear in the options box of the meter label.
Field Service Considerations

If the meter requires servicing or field upgrading, you may need to disconnect and
remove the meter from its mounting. The initial installation should be done in a
way which makes this as convenient as possible:
All phase voltage sense leads should be protected by breakers or fuses at their
source such that the meter can be safely disconnected.
A CT shorting block should be provided so that the meter current inputs can
be safely disconnected without open circuiting the CTs. The shorting block
should be wired so that protective relaying is not affected.
All wiring should be routed to allow easy removal of the connections to the
meter terminal strips and the meter itself.
If control relays are used with the external I/O modules, there should be a
bypass mechanism installed.
Terminal Strips
All connections to the meter are made to terminal strips at the back of the unit. On
the basic model meter, the terminal strips for phase voltage and current are barriertype, for which ring or spade terminals may be used to simplify connection.
The terminal strips for the digital inputs, digital outputs, the communications port
and the supply power inputs are all captured-wire type; they accept stripped wire
ends. The advantage to this is that these connectors can be unplugged first, making
it easier and safer to wire the connections.
Connecting the Base Unit Chassis Ground

C AUTION
Failure to properly connect the
meters chassis ground will void
the warranty.
The
terminal of the meter provides the chassis ground connection. This
terminal must be connected to earth ground. A good, low impedance chassis
ground connection is essential for the meter surge and transient protection
circuitry to function effectively. It should be made to the switchgear earth ground
using a dedicated AWG 14 (2.5 mm2) or larger wire to a point where there will be
no voltage error due to distribution voltage drops.
Do not rely on metal door hinges as a ground path. Ensure that the
nut is tightened down securely onto the ground wire.

Connecting the Base Unit Power Supply
Connecting the Base Unit Power Supply

The meter requires a constant power supply to maintain monitoring, analysis, data
logging, control and communications operations. Powering the device from the
voltage source it is monitoring is not suitable for applications where these
operations must be maintained in the event of a power outage.
If the meter is used to perform control functions or monitor power quality and
power disruption events, an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) should be used
to ensure constant supply power.
Standard Power Supply Range

The standard meter power supply can be powered from 95 to 240 VAC 10% (47
to 440 Hz) or 120 to 310 VDC 10%. Supply current can be as high as 0.2 Amp
(12W) if a Display unit is connected.
If an AC power supply is being used, connect the line supply wire to the L+
terminal and the neutral supply wire to the N- terminal. If a DC power supply is
being used, connect the positive supply wire to the L+ terminal and the negative
supply wire to the N- terminal.
20 to 60 VDC Power Supply Range

This power supply option has a working range of 20 to 60 VDC 10%. Supply
current can be as high as 0.6Amp (12W) if a Display unit is connected.
Protective Fuses
The meter is internally protected on the L/+ terminal by a 2A slow blow fuse. If
the power is supplied from a grounded source, installation of a 2A slow blow fuse
on the L/+ terminal is recommended. If power is supplied from an ungrounded
source, installation of 2A slow blow fuses on both L/+ and N/- terminals is
recommended.
Remote Modular Display Connection

C AUTION
Only use cable supplied by
Power Measurement to connect
the remote display unit.
The remote modular display (RMD) connects to the TRAN meter through a highdensity, male DB25 or DB26 connector. The 1.8 m (6 ft.) cable connects to the single
DB25 connector on the rear panel of the RMD. Hand-tighten the securing screws
on each cable connector. The chassis ground lug on the RMD must be properly
connected to the switchgear earth ground for the noise and surge protection
circuitry to function correctly.
19
Connecting the Phase Voltage Inputs
Connecting the Phase Voltage Inputs

AWG 12 to 14 wire (2.5 to 4.0 mm2) is recommended for all phase voltage
connections. Phasing and polarity of the AC voltage inputs and their relationship
is critical to the correct operation of the unit. All phase voltage sense leads should
be protected by breakers or fuses at their source.
Voltage Input Specifications

Voltage input overload withstand rating is 1500 VAC RMS continuous and 3250
VAC for 1 second, non-recurring. Input impedance is greater-than 2 M.
Connection
Whether or not potential transformers (PTs) are required depends on the nature of
the system being monitored, voltage levels, and the type of connections you have
on your meter.
The meter supports 50 to 347 VAC L-N (87 to 600 VAC L-L) 3-phase systems. For
single-phase systems, the meter supports 50 to 300 VAC L-N (100 to 600 VAC L-L).
PTs are required for all systems with voltage levels greater than those above.
C AUTION
In cases where PTs are
required,
the
secondaries
should be fused.
Using Potential Transformers

The meter inputs can be used with PTs that have secondaries rated between 50
VAC and 347 VAC +25%.
V1 Input Connection
The meter uses the V1 input as the reference for frequency for all power and
energy related measurements. For any system configuration, the V1 input must be
connected to ensure accurate readings and correct operation of the meter. If the
voltage on V1 falls below 50 Volts, the meters accuracy could be affected.
NOTE
Note that Vref is left unconnected in Direct Delta connections refer to 3-Wire Delta
Direct
Connection
on
page 25.
20
Voltage Reference (Vref) Input Connection

The voltage reference terminal, Vref, of the meter serves as the zero voltage
reference for voltage readings. A good, low impedance Vref connection is essential
for accurate measurement. It should be made using a dedicated 14 gauge wire to a
point where there will be no voltage error due to distribution voltage drops.
Connecting the Phase Current Inputs
Connecting the Phase Current Inputs

The meter uses CTs to sense the current in each phase of the power feed. AWG 12
to 14 (2.5 to 4.0 mm2) is recommended for all phase current connections. CTs
should be connected to the device via a shorting block or test block to facilitate the
safe connection and disconnection of the CTs.

Using Current Transformers

The meter is compatible with CTs that have 5 Amp nominal, 10 Amp full-scale
secondaries. The current input ratings of all phase inputs are equivalent.
The CT primary rating is normally selected to be equal to the current rating of the
power feed protection device. However, if the peak anticipated load is much less
than the rated system capacity, you can improve accuracy and resolution by
selecting a lower rated CT. In this case, the CT size should be the maximum
expected peak current, rounded up to the nearest standard CT size.
The CT secondary should have a burden capacity greater than 3 VA. The length of
the CT cabling should be minimized, because long cabling contributes to the
burden on the CT secondary. Also, the CT burden rating must exceed the
combined burden of the ION 7330 plus cabling plus any other connected devices
(burden is the amount of load being fed by the CT, measured in Volt-Amps).
Overall accuracy depends on the combined accuracies of the meter, the CT, and the
PTs (if used).

Communications Connections
Communications Connections
The basic model meter has three serial communication ports: an RS-485 port on
COM1, another RS-485 port on COM2, and an Infrared port on COM3. Optional
ports include an internal modem or a 10 Base-T Ethernet communication port.
Refer to the diagrams starting on page 9 for connection specifications.
RS-485 Connections
The communication card is designed with optical coupling that provides full
isolation between the RS-485 communication lines and the meter internal circuitry.
This circuitry provides protection from common mode voltages and incorrect
connection. All inputs pass the ANSI/IEEE C37.90-1989 surge withstand and fast
transient tests.
Connection
The communications terminal strip on the rear of the meter shows two
communication ports: COM1 and COM2. Terminal functions include:
Marking
Terminal Function
SH
RS-485 Shield (electrically connected to chassis ground)
RS-485 Data Plus

Up to 32 devices can be connected on a single RS-485 bus. Use a good quality

shielded twisted pair cable for each RS-485 bus, AWG 22 (0.5 mm2) or larger. The
overall length of the RS-485 cable connecting all devices cannot exceed 4000 ft.
(1219 m). The RS-485 bus may be configured in straight-line or loop topologies.

General Bus Wiring Considerations

Devices connected on the bus, including the meter, converter(s) and other
instrumentation, must be wired as follows:
C AUTION
Do not connect ground to the
shield at both ends of a segment. Doing so allows ground
loop currents to flow in the
shield, passing noise into the
communications cable.
The shield of each segment of the RS-485 cable must be connected to ground at
one end only.
Isolate cables as much as possible from sources of electrical noise.
Use an intermediate terminal strip to connect each device to the bus. This
allows for easy removal of a device for servicing if necessary.
Install a Watt termination resistor (RT) between the (+) and (-) terminals of
the device at each end point of a straight-line bus. The resistor should match
the nominal impedance of the RS-485 cable (typically 120 ohms consult the
manufacturers documentation for the cables impedance value).
RS-485 Connection Methods to Avoid

Any Device connection that causes a branch in the main RS-485 bus should be
avoided. This includes star and tee (T) methods. These wiring methods cause signal
reflections that may cause interference. At any connection point on the RS-485
bus, no more than two cables should be connected. This includes connection
points on instruments, converters, and terminal strips. Following this guideline
ensures that both star and tee connections are avoided.
Infrared Connection
The infrared serial communications port can be used for energy pulsing or
communication with Power Measurement power monitoring software. This port
is compatible with an ANSI C12.13 Type II magnetic optical communications
coupler.

To edit a value of a register, navigate the registers using the arrow keys until the
register you want is highlighted, then press the round button. The register will
appear in one of two ways: as a number, or as an option selected from a menu.
Once you have entered the password (if required), a YES or NO verification screen
appears showing the new value of the register. Select YES to change the value of the
setup register; select NO to return to the previous screen without changing the
value.
Numeric Registers
Use the arrow buttons to change the value of the digit above the
cursor.
Change the position of the cursor by holding down an arrow key for about one
second. Holding the up arrow button moves the cursor left one position, and
holding the right arrow button moves the cursor right one position. Once you have
the value you want, press the round button.
Enumerated Registers
Some registers are displayed as a menu of options. The current value of the register
will be displayed in the list with an asterix (*) on either side of it. Use the arrow
buttons to highlight the setting you want, and press the round button.
Password Security
The password is required when you make a change to a register. Once you have
entered a valid password, you can make multiple register changes. The password
is factory set at 00000 (5 zeros). Press the round button when you have entered
the correct password.

Verifying Meter Operation
Verifying Meter Operation

Once you have wired the device, and have performed basic setup, observe the data
display screens to ensure the power system data is as expected. The standard meter
has two LEDs to help verify proper operation and communications of the device.
The L1 and L2 LEDs are located on the meter backplate (refer to the diagram in
Base Unit Wiring Connections on page 9).
L1 is factory-configured to pulse once for every 1.8 Wh of energy measured.
L2 blinks slowly to indicate CPU operation. It blinks rapidly to indicate communications through one of its serial ports. If the L2 LED does not blink once
the meter is installed, contact Technical Services.
The meter also includes Diagnostics screens to help with troubleshooting. From the
front panel Setup menu, select Diagnostics.
Verifying Ethernet Communications

Two LEDs, Activity and Link, are next to the Ethernet port on the side of the meter.
LINK remains on while an Ethernet carrier is present; if this LED is off, the Ethernet connection cannot be established.
ACTIVITY blinks to indicate Ethernet traffic.
Upgrading Firmware
NOTE
During an upgrade from v270
firmware or greater, the meter
L2 LED functions as if in normal
mode. To learn how the L2 LED
functions, refer to Verifying
Meter Operation on page 36.
36
Use Power Measurements ION software to upgrade the firmware on your meter
and/or Ethernet card. New versions of firmware are available from Power
Measurements website: www.pwrm.com.
For information on how to upgrade your device firmware, refer to the technical
note Upgrading ION Device Firmware.
