Chapter 1 Introduction
This manual explains how to use the PMC-53 Series Intelligent Multifunction Meter. Throughout the
manual the term “meter” generally refers to all models. Differences between the models are
indicated with the appropriate model number.
This chapter provides an overview of the PMC-53 series meter and summarizes many of its key
features.
1.1 Overview
The PMC-53 Series Intelligent Multifunction Meter is CET’s latest offer for the low-cost digital
power/energy metering market. Housed in an industry standard DIN form factor measuring
96mmx96mmx75mm, it is perfectly suited for industrial, commercial and utility metering applications.
The PMC-53 features quality construction, multifunction measurements and a large, backlit, easy to
read LCD display. Compliance with the IEC 62053-22 Class 0.5S kWh Accuracy Standard, it is a cost
effective replacement for analog instrumentation, capable of displaying 3-phase measurements at
once. It optionally provides two Digital Inputs for status monitoring and two Digital Outputs for
control, alarm or energy pulsing applications. Further, it has optional inputs for I residual as well as
RTD temperature measurements for fire alarm monitoring, transformer temperature monitoring or
other applications. The standard SOE Log records all setup changes, DI/Setpoint status changes and
DO operations in 1ms resolution. With the standard RS485 port and Modbus protocol support, the
PMC-53 becomes a vital component of an intelligent, multifunction monitoring solution for any Power
and Energy Management systems.
You can setup the meter through its front panel or via our free PMC Setup software. The meter is
also supported by our PecStar® Integrated Energy Management System.
The PMC-53 is available in three models: PMC-53V, PMC-53I and PMC-53M. Following is a list of
typical applications for the PMC-53:
 Analog meter replacement
 Low and medium voltage applications
 Industrial and commercial panel metering
 Substation, factory and building automation
 Sub-metering, cost allocation
 Residual Current and Temperature monitoring
