Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction of P 1600
PM1600 is designed for modern industrial sites, commercial facilities and
utilities power management. By integration of power monitoring, demand
control, power quality analysis, report generation and communication, PM1600
fulfills all daily power management requirements. Combines the state of art
embedded system with information networking technologies, a high
performance power supervisory control system can be built at a fairly low cost.
1.2 Caution
1.2.1 Danger
The PM1600 meter contains hazardous voltages. The meter should never be
disassembled. Failure to observe this practice can result in serious injury or
death. Any work on or near energized meters, meter sockets, or other metering
equipment can present a danger of electrical shock. It is strongly recommended
that all work should be performed only by qualified industrial electricians and
metering specialist. Brainchild assumes no responsibility if your electrical
installer does not follow the appropriate national and local electrical codes.
1.2.2 PRODUCT WARRANTY & CUSTO ER SUPPORT
Brainchild Electronic Co., Ltd. warrants all products free from defects in
material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of shipping in
Taiwan.
Please have the serial number and a detailed problem description available
when you report any defective. If the problem concerns a particular reading,
please have all meter readings available. When returning any merchandise to
Brainchild, an approval RMA number is required.
1.2.3 LI ITATION OF WARRANTY
This warranty does not apply to defects resulting from unauthorized
modification, misuse, or use for reasons other than electrical power monitoring.
The supplied meter is not a user-serviceable product.

If any damage been is found while unpacking, the user should contact the local
representative at once. It is suggested that the special packaging is suggested to
retain for possible future requirement.
3.2 Installation
Remove stains from this equipment using a soft, dry cloth. Don’t use
harsh chemicals, volatile solvent such as thinner or strong detergents to clean
the equipment in order to avoid deformation.
The PM1600 is designed for indoor use and not in any hazardous area. It should
be kept away from shock, vibration, and electromagnetic fields like such as
variable frequency drives, motors and transformers.
It is intended to be operated in the following environment:
Pollution Degree Level II IEC1010-1( E 61010-1 )
Temperature 5 ~ 50 ˚C
Humidity 20 ~ 80 % RH (non-condensing)
Power 90 ~ 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz

3.3 Wiring
Wiring Precautions
1. Care must be taken to ensure that maximum voltage rating specified on the
label is not exceeded.
2. It is recommended that near the equipment an external fuse and an external
switch rated at 2A/250 VAC should be equipped.
3. Beware not to over tighten the terminals screws. The torque should not
exceed 0.7 -m ( 6.3 Lb-in or 7.1 Kg F-cm ).
4. Connect a grounding conductor with 1.6mm diameter minimum to provide
protective grounding prior to turning on the equipment.

Chapter 4 Using the P 1600
In this chapter, focus will be given on things that you should understand before
you actually start setting PM1600, including method of entering data,
procedure, function trees.
4.1 Ways to operate P 1600
4.1.1 Operation through panel keys of P 1600 Host achine
Press the function keys on the front panel to operate the PM1600.

18
If entering numbers or letters are required, the screen will pop-up a screen
keyboard. Simply use navigation keys and enter key to complete the filling.
4.1.2 Operation through P 1600 Host achine with USB mouse
Using USB mouse to operate PM1600, simply move the cursor to the desire item
and click the button to access, like using the mouse of PC. You can use the hard
key mixed with soft button by mouse at the same time which make you operate
the PM1600 in the field conveniently.
4.1.3 Operating through Web Client
Run the web manager program, and clicking its software function buttons, by
using the cursor directly on the selected item and click.

19
In order to use PC as a web client to access PM1600, TCP/IP setting must be
completed first. Please see page 48, TCP/IP setting. (chapter 6.1.5)
