2.1 Overview
The ASCO 5010 LCD Remote Display Unit is an integral part of the ASCO Power Quality Meter system, allowing
interconnectivity with the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter for configuring and monitoring the electrical distribution
system.
The ASCO 5010 Remote Display Unit (RDU) connects and communicates with the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter
directly via RJ45 network cable or through IP communication from anywhere in the world. One RDU can be used to monitor and
configure many ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meters.
The ASCO 5010 RDU enables configuring all aspects of the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter and displays all monitored
real time values. Figure 1 describes the role of the ASCO 5010 RDU in managing power quality data in a power distribution
system.
The ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter (1) is connected to the electrical system via current and potential transformers.
These instruments constantly record the voltage and current waveforms at a resolution of up to 1024 samples per cycle. This data
is compressed on board using the ASCO PQZip technology. The PQZip files are transferred to a PNode (4) running on a server
managed by the Site Manager. The PNode stores the data collected from the instrument and responds to requests from client
workstations running ASCO Investigator software (5). When an engineer using the Investigator software wishes to analyze the
data collected by the instrument from a certain time frame, the PNode decompresses the requested data, performs the necessary
mathematical calculations to display the electrical parameters requested by the client and then arranges and configures the data to
be displayed on the specific screen used by the client.
Every ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter hosts an onboard Website allowing access to data from any web browser.
Inputting the IP address of the instrument in the address window of an internet browser will bring the ASCO 5400 Series webpage
to the browser with current real time monitored values (2). Configuration of the ASCO 5400 Series may also be achieved via the
Website.

The ASCO IP Address Search Tool (6) is an important element in the ASCO Power Quality Meter System. This utility allows all
ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter and ASCO 5010 RDU connected to a LAN to be found and identified on line.
The ASCO 5010 (3) Remote Display LCD is used to both configure and monitor the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter
achieving much the same effect as when using a web browser but with the added tactile feedback only a dedicated LCD display
can offer. The ASCO 5010 RDU can be used as a hand held monitoring and configuring tool connecting to each ASCO 5400
Series Power Quality Meter in turn using a CAT 5e/6 network cable with a RJ45 plug, or optionally plugging into a network
connection and alternately inputting the IP addresses of the different instruments.

Section 5. Wiring
5.1 Connecting the Power Supply and LAN
The ASCO 5010 Remote Display Unit requires 48V DC to operate. The unit can receive this power from one of two inputs:
1. 48V DC power input terminal
2. The LAN jack using PoE (Power over Ethernet) from the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter labeled LAN2/LCD.
When both inputs are in use, the primary source of power is from the 48V DC input terminal, with the PoE offering backup
redundancy.
5.2 Connecting the 48V DC Terminal
For safely connecting 48V DC follow these instructions:
Ensure the panel under work is de-energized.
Prepare the 48V DC terminal block connector provided with the ASCO 5010 Package
Attach lugged ends of wires to the terminal block using a properly sized screw driver
√The positive wire is to be attached to the terminal marked +
√The negative wire is to be attached to the terminal marked -
Insert the 48VDC terminal block into the socket marked "48V DC" as shown above in


Figure 3.
The ASCO 5010 Remote Display Unit will operate efficiently using a voltage range from 24-51V DC, however only 48V DC
may be used through the PoE input (LAN2/LCD socket on the ASCO 5450 and 5490 Power Quality Meters).
5.3 Power over Ethernet (PoE)
POE is a standard for feeding DC power to an RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) using the network RJ45 cable without the
need for additional external power.
The ASCO 5010 contains a single LAN port with support for receiving PoE (In) but not for providing PoE (Out) to other
devices.
To take advantage of the PoE option, connect the RJ45 jack to the port marked "LAN2/LCD" on the ASCO 5400 Series Power
Quality Meter as shown in Figure 7.

5.4 Recommended Mode of LAN Connection for ASCO 5400 Series
It is suggested that the ASCO 5010 RDU be connected to the port marked LAN2/LCD on the ASCO 5450/5490 Power Quality
Meter and that the LAN1 port on the 5410 be used to connect to the LAN for communicating PQZip files to the Node on the
power quality server.
Figure 7: Power Over Ethernet PoE Connection
5.5 USB Connection
Follow accepted USB protocol connection procedures.
5.6 RS485/422
The RS485/422 serial communications hardware protocol is an industrial standard using 2 or 4 wires for communication. The
wires are to be connected to the terminals marked RS485/422 on the ASCO 5010 RDU as shown in Figure 8 and to the marked
terminals on the CPU module of the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter.
Figure 8: Terminals for RS485/422 on the Rear Side of the ASCO 5010 RDU
To enable understanding of the protocol for the purpose of enabling efficient communication, basic elements of the protocol are
described here:
√Voltage is typically 5V DC
√Cable is comprised of 2 shielded twisted pairs
√Typical length of cable is < 1000 meter with no repeater
√Units are connected in multi-drop (“daisy chain”) configuration. In 2 wire mode, the wires coming in and going out
share the same terminal on the instrument
√Shield MUST be grounded, but ONLY at one point in the chain.

Section 8. Using the ASCO 5010 Remote Display Unit
After the ASCO 5010 Remote Display Unit has been configured, it may be used to configure and display the measured
parameters of the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter. One RDU can be used to configure and monitor a number of ASCO
5400 Series PQM by changing the IP address of the instrument to be monitored.
The setup and configuration procedure of the ASCO 5400 Series instrument includes:
ASCO 5400 Series Unit setup:
√Administration authorization
√Site name
√Operator name
√Site description.
Electrical system parameters:
√Phase configuration (Y, ∆)
√Nominal values (V, I, f)
√CT/PT ratios (Configuring these parameters must not precede the configuration of the Nominal values)
√Polarity of input waveforms (normal/reverse)
Network setup
√Assign IP address
√other internet relevant configuration parameters
Firmware upgrade
These procedures will be described and explained in the following sections.
8.1 Connecting for the First Time
Connecting to the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter with the ASCO 5010 Remote Display Unit is accomplished
differently depending on the manner in which the connection is made, and the purpose of the connection.
Connecting a ASCO 5010 RDU as a static display for a single ASCO 5400 Series PQM requires less configuration than
connecting a single ASCO 5010 unit to multiple ASCO 5400 Series PQM’s over the internet, though this configuration is not
overly complicated requiring only a basic understanding of IP addressing and system parameters from the LAN administrator.
When attempting to make changes to the ASCO 5400 Series configuration, the user will be asked to enter an administrative
password.

8.1.1 Admin Access Privilege
Modifying setup parameters requires administrative or Admin authorization. When the user attempts to modify the first
parameter, an access level modification page will appear:
Pressing on X will return to the previous menu, pressing OK will bring up the Admin authorization page:
Delete the default user password, 123, by navigating to the "Del" key and pressing SELECT three times. Enter the password
supplied by ASCO to authorize Admin level access by using the arrows to navigate to each character of the password and
pressing SELECT. When the whole password is displayed on the screen, press OK. The previous configuration screen will
appear, with "write" authorization.
8.2 Connecting and Communicating
8.2.1 Connecting a Single ASCO 5010 RDU to a Single ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter
If the ASCO 5010 RDU is to be used as a permanent display for a single ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter, the connection
is made simply from the ASCO 5010 RDU port to the ASCO 5400 Series LAN2/LCD port using a regular LAN Cat5e/6 cable
with RJ45 plugs on both ends. No configuring is necessary; the communication is "plug and play". Both the ASCO 5400 Series
and the ASCO 5010 RDU are factory programmed with default IP addresses and subnet masks to enable immediate
communication between them. These default values are listed in Table 1 on page 16.
8.2.2 Using the ASCO 5010 RDU for the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter LAN Configuration Before
Initialization
If the ASCO 5010 is to be used to configure an ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter offline before connecting to a LAN, the
factory defaults can be used to enhance the communication configuration task.
Before allowing connection to the LAN, connect the ASCO 5010 RDU to the LAN2/LCD port on the ASCO 5450
and 5490 Power Quality Meter
