LIMITED WARRANTY The manufacturer offers the customer an 24-month functional warranty on the instrument for faulty workmanship or parts from date of dispatch from the distributor. In all cases, this warranty is valid for 36 months from the date of production. This warranty is on a return to factory basis. The manufacturer does not accept liability for any damage caused by instrument malfunction.

To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the instrument to rain or moisture. The secondary of an external current transformer must never be allowed to be open circuit when the primary is energized. An open circuit can cause high voltages, possibly resulting in equipment damage, fire and even serious or fatal injury.

The PM130 is available in three models: the PM130 for basic voltage, current and frequency measurements; the PM130P which adds power and power factor measurements; and the PM130E which adds power demands and energy measurements. All models are suitable for mounting on both 4-inch round and 92x92mm square cut-outs.
Page 9
Automatic return to the main screen is available after 30 seconds of uninterrupted use. Setup is menu driven, with optional password protection. Communications are available using an RS-485 standard, with ASCII/Modbus or ASCII/DNP3.0 protocols. 120 user assignable registers are available. Transmitter and receiver status are displayed on the status information page (see Chapter 6).

2.2 Electrical Installation Before installation ensure that all incoming power sources are shut OFF. Failure to observe this practice can result in serious or even fatal injury and damage to equipment. Connections to the PM130 are made via terminals (voltage input, power supply, communication and optional relay output) and CT cores located on the rear of the instrument as shown in Figure 2-3.
Page 16
2.2.2 Current Inputs To ensure accurate readings, the input current should not exceed 1.5A RMS for the 1A CT secondary, or 7.5A RMS for the 5A CT secondary. The PM130 does not have current terminals. To connect to the external CT, you must pass the external CT wire through the instrument CT core (see Figure 2-4).

2.2.4 Voltage Inputs 690V Inputs (Standard): 690V inputs are usually used with direct connection. Use any of the seven wiring configurations shown in Figures 2-5 through 2-11. 120V Inputs (Option U): 120V inputs usually implies use of a potential transformer (PT). The PT requires use of any of the four wiring configurations shown in Figures 2-7 through 2-10.
