The IPL36 is a TRMS wattmeter and IPL36L is a TRMS volt-ammeter, frequency meter. They have a 6 digits display
and allow the measurement, monitoring and retransmission of electrical parameters. Implementation is quick by simply
programming via the front face.
Devices have several options:
 IPL36, IPL36L : base version
 IPL36/R1, IPL36L/R1 : + 1 relay
 IPL36/R2, IPL36L/R2 : + 2 relays
 IPL36/S, IPL36L/S : + 1 analog output
 IPL36/CMTCP, IPL36L/CMTCP : + Ethernet Modbus TCP/SNMP link
/S and /CMTCP options are not combinable.
The technical data sheets are downloadable here: http://www.loreme.fr/fichtech/IPL36_eng.pdf

Le PC is now in terminal mode, connect to device by plugging the RS232 link cable. The measure is now displayed.
To access configuration, press ’C’ key.
6When leaving Hyper terminal, the following window will
appear. By accepting the
recording of the session, terminal
mode will be able to start again
without using this procedure.
Thus, the shortcut will permit to communi-
cate with all LOREME devices.
Note: to modify the parameters of terminal mode whereas this one is already started, it is necessary, after having car-
ried out the modifications, to close the terminal and to open it again so that the modifications are effective.

The device can be configured or updated in terminal mode via an RS232 link. The terminal emulation software for PC
« hyperterminal » is resident in windows up to XP version. For later versions, it is downloadable on :
( http://www.loreme.fr/HyperTerm/htpe63.exe )
The different procedures for the terminal setting are detailed below.
USB/ RS232 adapter:
- download driver at www.loreme.fr:
http://www.loreme.fr/aff_produits.asp?rubid=53&langue=fr
- Click on executable file to install driver,
- Plug the adapter on USB port,
- Start and configure the HyperTerminal as described above.
Note :
The use of the adapter on another USB port don’t generates a new communica-
tion port .

Terminal mode
1) Visualization
The IPL36 or IPL36L can be configured using the RS232 link on the rear of the device.
This requires a USB/Jack or DB9/jack adapter cable, depending on connectors available on the PC, and have a ASCII
emulation program like ‘Hyperterminal ' or else.
Once the device is connected to the PC, it displays the following measurements page every 3 seconds.
IPL36 measurements page: IPL36L measurements page:
VOLTAGE: 230 V VOLTAGE: 230 V
CURRENT: 1.13 A CURRENT: 1.13 A
FREQUENCY: 50.1 Hz FREQUENCY: 50.1 Hz
ACTIVE P.: 260 W
REACTIVE P.: 22 Var
APPARENT P.: 259 VA
COSINUS PHI: 0.99
Remark:
In terminal mode the metrological performance of the device are degraded. It is therefore preferable to limit the
time of use in this mode.
2) Configuration
The handbook explains in detail the different configurations possibilities:
Language, input, network, relays, analog output, communication, special functions.
To enter configuration mode, just press "C" key. The message ‘ConF’ is displayed in front.
2.1) Method
At the configuration time, different types of questions are displayed. For each one, several answers are possible.
You will find below the detailed description of each case.
2.1.1) Menu selection
example: INPUTS CONFIGURATION The user makes a choice by pressing the keys "Y" or "N".
(Y-N)
2.1.2) Parameter selection
example: VOLTAGE or VOLTAGE
(Y-N)YES (Y-N)NO
Previous choice = YES: - pressing "Y" or "Enter" => choice validation = YES.
- pressing "N" => choice changing = NO.
Previous choice = NO: - pressing "N" or "Enter" => choice validation = NO.
- pressing "Y" => choice changing = YES.
2.1.3) Value acquisition
Example: LOW SCALE
4 mA
There are two possibilities:
- The validation without modification by typing "Enter",
- The modification with simultaneous display followed by validation with "Enter".
Remarks:
- It is possible, when a mistake is made during a value acquisition, before validating it, to go back by pressing on
backspace key. This re-displays the message without taking notice of the mistake.
- In configuration mode, if there is no action on a key during 2 minutes, device goes back in measure mode without
taking notice of the modifications made before.
- In configuration mode, if you want go back to measure mode without taking notice of modifications made before,
just press the escape key.

2.2) Language
The language possibilities are: - French
- English
2.3) Input
The input configuration is made of:
- Voltage input choice.
- Current input choice.
- Measure response time.
2.4) Network
The wiring options on the network are:
- Alternative: single-phase or balanced three phases with neutral.
- Continuous
It is also necessary to configure:
- The Potential Transformer ratio,
- The Current Transformer ratio (1A/5A input) or external current shunt sensibility (200mV input).
2.5) Relays
The device can, by /R1 or /R2 option, provide respectively 1 or 2 independently configurable alarm relays.
Relay parameters are:
- Monitored value: voltage, current, frequency, on IPL36 and IPL36L.
and active power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor, on IPL36.
- Type of detection: high or low threshold.
- Threshold and hysteresis value.
- Adjustment possibility.
- Security.
- Activation and deactivation delays.
The alarm detection works in this manner:
- high threshold detection: .alarm is activated when measure goes above threshold,
.alarm is removed when measure goes below threshold minus hysteresis.
- low threshold detection: .alarm is activated when measure goes below threshold,
.alarm is removed when measure goes above threshold plus hysteresis.
The Front face threshold adjustment is authorized by default.
This possibility can be deactivated if the adjustment must be inaccessible in front face, only the visualization is then pos-
sible.
The security function allows to choose between the activation or the de-activation of the relay when alarm is activated.
The activation and deactivation delays, configurable from 0 to 600 s set the time above which alarm changes its state
after event appearance and disappearance.
