5.4 Voltage connection base unit The voltage measurement inputs L1, L2 and L3 must originate at circuit breakers or fuses rated 5 Amps or less. This does not apply to the neutral connector. You have to provide a method for manually removing power from the device, such as a clearly labeled circuit breaker or a fused disconnect switch in accordance with IEC 60947-2 or IEC 60947-3.
5.5 Current connection base unit Only for device versions with current measurement in the base unit PQ5000CL-001 / -101 No fuse may be connected upstream of the current measurement inputs! When using current transformers their secondary connectors must be short-circuited during installation and before removing the device.
5.6 Current Link current connections The Current Modules 3P and / or 3PN are arranged in a ring. The connection of the individual elements of the ring is done using SMA connection cables. The SMA connection cables must not be kinked during assembly, as the conductors could be damaged.
Mounting of the junction box The connection housing of a current module can be fixed directly to a cable using cable ties. The junction box of a current module must not be mounted on bare conductors, nor must connecting cables be routed over bare live conductors. If there are bare connections or busbars in the immediate vicinity, the junction box and connecting cables must be secured in such a way that their metal parts cannot touch live, bare parts in the event that the fixing of the junction box or a connecting cable becomes detached unexpectedly.

The phase rotation indicator is arranged in the menu “Phasor diagram”.
Page 22
b) Phasor verification: The phasor diagram shows a technical visualization of the current and voltage phasors, using a counter-clockwise rotation, independent of the real sense of rotation. The diagram is always built basing on the voltage of the reference channel (direction 3 o’clock) Correct installation (expectation) •...
6.5 Ethernet installation 6.5.1 Settings Before devices can be connected to an existing Ethernet network, you have to ensure that they will not disturb the normal network service. The rule is: None of the devices to connect is allowed to have the same IPv4/v6 address than another device already installed The device supports both IPv4 and IPv6 communication.
Page 24
Network settings Ethernet interface IPv4: Subnet mask For a direct communication between device and PC both devices need to be in the same network when the subnet mask is applied: Example 1 decimal binary 11000000 10101000 00000001 01100101 192.168. 1.101 IP address 11111111 11111111 11111111 11100000...
Page 25
IPv4: Mode >> DHCP If a DHCP server is available, alternatively the mode „DHCP“ or „DHCP, addresses only“ can be selected for the Standard interface. The device then gets all necessary information from the DHCP server. The difference between the two modes is that for “DHCP” also the DNS server address is obtained. The settings obtained from the DHCP server can be retrieved locally via the service menu.
Firewall Due to security reasons nowadays, each network is protected by means of a firewall. When configuring the firewall, you have to decide which communication is desired and which have to be blocked. The TCP port 502 for the Modbus/TCP communication normally is considered to be unsafe and is often disabled. This may lead to a situation where no communication between networks (e.g.
6.6 Communication tests Via the service menu on the device website you may check if the selected network structure is valid. The device must be able to reach the DNS server via gateway. The DNS server then allows resolving the URL of the NTP server to an IP address.
6.9 Security system There are several security mechanisms implemented in the device which can be activated to provide a comprehensive access protection to all device data. The role-based access control (RBAC) system allows restricting the access to measured data, configuration settings and service functions to the rights granted to the present user.
Page 29
A maximum of 8 users is supported 3 pre-defined standard users • admin: A user with administrator rights (Default setting password: „CBM_1234“) • localgui: The standard user for the local display. Its permissions determine what can be displayed or changed via the built-in display without a user having to log in.
Page 30
When defining / changing passwords the following restrictions must be considered: - Password length 8 up to 32 characters - At least three different types of characters must be used (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, special characters) CAUTION: If login credentials (user name and / or password) of users with write access to the security system are changed, this information must be kept safe.
Page 31
Assignment of user rights The assignment of the user rights granted for operation is done via the menu Settings | Security system | Users and permissions: Measurements or settings can be displayed Measurements or settings cannot be displayed Settings can be changed Settings cannot be changed Field not selectable Change a user’s login credentials...

Before HTTPS communication can be used a root certificate needs to be installed. The user can either use a Camille Bauer certificate (default setting) or its own customer certificate. This may be changed when defining the Settings of the Security system.
The imported certificate is valid for all devices of the PQ, AM, DM and CU series. Agree to install the certificate if the below security warning appears: Customer certificate You may also use a customer server certificate with a private key, but for that you first need to change the Settings of the Security system in the item Web Security.

Incoming / outgoing / inductive / capacitive The device provides information for all four quadrants. Quadrants are normally identified using the roman numbers I, II, III and IV, as shown in the adjacent graphic. Depending on whether the system is viewed from the producer or consumer side, the interpretation of the quadrants is changing: The energy built from the active power in the quadrants I+IV can either been seen as delivered or consumed active energy.
7.4 Resetting measurement data • Meter contents may be individually set or reset during operation using the service menu • Recorded logger data can be individually reset via the service menu. This makes sense whenever the configuration of the quantities to record has been changed. 7.5 Configuration The configuration options of the device can be reduced on a customer-specific basis, so that certain parameters are predefined and cannot be changed...
• Data export scheduler: Via website you can setup tasks to be performed regularly. Each time such a task is running, it creates a data file to be transferred to a SFTP server and/or to be stored locally on the device. Via local configuration tasks can be enabled or disabled only. 7.5.2 Configuration via web browser It’s recommended to use either Google Chrome or Firefox as browser.
Page 42
Loading / saving configuration files The user can save the present device configuration on a storage media and reload it from there. The storage or load procedure varies depending on the browser used. The settings of the security system are not part of the configuration file. There is no way to transfer security settings from one device to another.
7.6 PQ monitoring Power quality monitoring provides both a statistical evaluation, allowing an assessment of compliance with standards (e.g. EN 50160) or supply contracts, as well as records of events in the grid (e.g. power voltage dips). This facilitates the analysis of causes and effects. Compliance reports may also be created directly via the website of the device.
Page 44
Mains signalling voltage The device monitors mains signalling voltages, which are transmitted in the supply system for control purposes, and records them as events. Typically, these are ripple control signals. The user can define the frequency of the signalling voltage, the threshold and hysteresis (related to the nominal voltage) as well as the recording duration in multiples of the measurement interval of 10/12 cycles.
7.6.2 PQ statistic Power quality (PQ) is assessed by a comparison between the PQ parameters measured by the device and the limits of a contract agreed upon. The assessment period is usually at least one week to consider possible variations between weekdays and weekends. Via its website the device can perform an assessment of the measured PQ parameters in accordance with the following standards: EN 50160...
7.6.3 Provision of PQ data The device can create PQ related data, such as PQ events or PQ statistic, using the standard format PQDIF (Power Quality Data Interchange Format). The automatic or event-driven generation of such files can be defined via the Data export scheduler in the Settings menu.
7.7 Data recording The device stores long-term recordings of measurement progressions, events and PQ statistics. Some of these recordings provide predefined contents; some is based on user-defined contents. In addition, file-based information may be periodically created using the data export scheduler.
