CET Electric Technology Chapter 1 Introduction This manual explains how to use the PMC-352 3-Phase LoRa DIN Energy Meter. Throughout the manual the term “meter” generally refers to all models. This chapter provides an overview of the PMC-352 meter and summarizes many of its key features.
1.3 PMC-352’s application in a wireless IoT based EMS using LoRa network The PMC-352 can be used to monitor 3-phase or single-phase power system and become a vital component of an intelligent, distributed and wireless loT based EMS or Condition Monitoring System.
Chapter 2 Installation Caution Installation of the PMC-352 should only be performed by qualified, competent personnel who have the appropriate training and experience with high voltage and current devices. The meter must be installed in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.

These SCCTs come with a pluggable connector at the end of the output wires. Insert the 2-pin pluggable connector securely into the Current Input terminal on the PMC-352. b. Open the SCCT by slightly pulling on the clip. Please ensure that SCCT’s contact surface is clean and without contaminants for best accuracy performance.
2. Please ensure the Load Current does not exceed the CT’s Primary Current specification. 2.7 LoRa Antenna Installation Connect either the 4dBi or 2.5dBi antenna to the PMC-352 by applying the correct torque to tighten the connection as shown in the figure below. For best communication performance, the antenna should be mounted outside of a metal enclosure and preferably positioned vertically.
V1 and V3 terminals. As a result, the self-powered option should only be used in a 3-phase power system. If the PMC-352 is used in a single-phase power system, the independent power supply option should be used instead.
Chapter 3 Applications 3.1 Inputs 3.1.1 Digital Inputs The PMC-352 comes standard with three self-excited Digital Inputs that are internally wetted at 24VDC. Digital Inputs on the PMC-352 can be used in the following applications: Digital Input The digital inputs are typically used for status monitoring which can help prevent equipment damage, improve maintenance, and track security breaches.
Demand is defined as the average power consumption over a fixed interval (usually 15 minutes) based on the Sliding Window method. The PMC-352 provides Present Demand for Ia, Ib, Ic, kW Total, kvar Total and kVA Total, updated once a second. Only Import Demand is provided for kW Total, kvar total and kVA Total.
3.4 Setpoints The PMC-352 comes standard with 10 user-programmable Setpoints which provide extensive control by allowing a user to initiate an action in response to a specific condition. Typical setpoint applications include alarming, fault detection and power quality monitoring.

Table 3-7 Setpoint Parameters Notes: For the PMC-352, the Trigger registers are reserved and the Alarm indicator on the Front Panel would be lit when any Setpoint becomes active. The Setpoint status is stored in the register 0100. When Phase Reversal is set as the Setpoint Parameter, the Setpoint Type should be set to 1 (i.e., Over Setpoint). The Setpoint Type=2 (i.e., Under Setpoint) is invalid.
CET Electric Technology 3.5 SOE Log The PMC-352’s SOE Log can store up to 16 events such as Power-on, Power-off, Digital Input status changes, Setup changes and Setpoint events in its non-volatile memory. Each event record includes the event classification, its relevant parameter values and a timestamp in ±1 ms resolution. The SOE Log can be retrieved or reset via communications.
CET Electric Technology where Un and Iprim represent the Voltage and Current nominal in Primary values. For the Voltage and Current Phase Loss detection to work correctly, the PT Primary and CT Primary should be configured to represent the respective nominal values.
This chapter provides a complete description of the Modbus register map (Protocol Version 1.0) for the PMC-352 to facilitate the development of 3 party communications driver for accessing information on the PMC-352.

800A or 1600A SCCT. The CT Primary and CT Secondary setup registers are disregarded in this case. The wiring modes of 1P2W_LN, 1P2W_LL, 1P3W and 3X1P are only supported when the PMC-352 is ordered with independent power supply option (please refer to Appendix C Ordering Guide for more information). The self-powered supply option derives the power from the V1 and V3 inputs of a 3-phase power system.
If Baud Rate is set to an invalid value, it will default to 9600bps automatically. If LoRa Gateway is enabled, the PMC-352 would act as a LoRa Master and transfer any RS-485 packets that are received from the Modbus Master on its RS-485 port but not destined for itself, via LoRa to downstream PMC-352s that operate on the same LoRa Channel and vice versa.
100% Table 4-22 Setpoint Parameters For the PMC-352, the Trigger registers are reserved and the Alarm indicator on the Front Panel would be lit when any Setpoint becomes active. The Setpoint status is stored in the register 0100. When Phase Reversal is set as the Setpoint Parameter, the Setpoint Type should be set to 1 (i.e., Over Setpoint). The Setpoint Type=2 (i.e., Under Setpoint) is invalid.
Table 4-24 User-defined Parameters List 4.9 Time There are two sets of Time registers supported by the PMC-352 – Year/Month/Day/Hour/Minute/ Second (Register # 60000 to 60002) and UNIX Time (Register # 60004). When sending time to the PMC- 352 over Modbus communications, care should be taken to only write one of the two Time register sets.
