The Raritan PM Series Power Meter is a modular power metering solution designed for monitoring power consumption in various electrical environments. The series includes three main components: the PMM (Power Meter Module), PMB (Power Meter Branch Monitor), and PMC (Power Meter Controller).

Function Description:

The PMM is a 3-phase power meter that provides neutral and earth current monitoring. It can function as a standalone unit or integrate with a PMB for more granular monitoring.

The PMB is a 96-channel branch circuit monitor that plugs directly into a PMM. When combined, a PMM+PMB configuration monitors both the main panel board and individual branch circuits.

The PMC acts as the central power meter controller. A single PMC can manage up to 70 PMMs or 8 PMM+PMB combinations. Interconnection between modules is achieved using standard shielded CAT-5 cable. The system is designed with redundant power, ensuring continued operation as long as one or more PMMs remain powered.

The PM series power meters are designed for ease of use, featuring current transducers (CTs) with built-in burden resistors that can be snapped onto live wires without damage. CT orientation is not critical, as the meter automatically corrects polarity for any CT installed backward. CT connections are made close to branch circuits using multi-conductor wiring harnesses with labeled wire-pairs and keyed connectors.

DIN Rail Mounting:

PMM and PMB modules snap onto a 35mm DIN rail. Expansion connectors are used to link PMM and PMB modules. It is critical to disconnect all power sources before hot-plugging the expansion port.

Wiring:

Voltage and Current Measurement Wiring: Protect phase lines with fused disconnects. All wiring should be 14-22 AWG, 75°C, solid or stranded, without soldered tin wire ends. All CTs are 333mV output; current output CTs (e.g., 5A) should not be used. CTs can be connected to live circuits in either direction.
PMM Power Wiring: PMM can be powered from voltage measurement inputs or an auxiliary AC power source. Auxiliary power is required if voltage measurement circuits exceed 240V or if continuous operation is needed when voltage measurement inputs are off.
Controller Wiring to Meters: Up to 70 PMMs or 8 PMM+PMB units can be daisy-chain wired to a single PMC using shielded Cat 5 Ethernet cable (max 100m per cable). The wiring order is not critical. MBT switches should be ON for devices at the ends of the daisy chain and OFF for devices in the middle. Each meter must be assigned a unique ID (01-70 for PMM without PMB, 01-08 for PMM with PMB).

Configuration:

Login and Configuration: Connect a PC directly to the PMC via Ethernet. Access the web interface using "https://pdu.local" or the PMC's IP address (found on the LCD). Default login: admin/raritan.
