3. Overview (Connued)
Moon Laboratories PM-XXX series is a mul-funcon power meter. Using dierent current
transformers (CTs’) the meter is available in 25, 100, 200 and 400 amp models. Current
values up to 999 amps can be displayed when congured with CT’s matching the intended
range of use.
Front panel connecvity for USB and Ethernet provide data logging and remote data access.
Upon plugging in a USB memory sck data will begin data logging in CSV le format. Time
stamp comes from the internal real me clock.
Ethernet connecon has mulple funcons. With the IP address known as indicated on the
Menu screen, any device with a web browser on the same network can see data from the
meter. Simply type the web address into the browser of the device on the same network.
Subscripon based remote viewing of data and logging over me with advanced graphical
presentaon can be accomplished by web browser from anywhere in the world.
For applicaons where meter data would be used for a custom applicaon registers can be
read via MODBUS TCP.
Four LCD panels display data and a h screen controls modes of operaon and display
status which includes:
1. Standby Mode
2. Voltage Current Frequency Mode
3. Power Mode
4. Power Factor Mode
5. Total Harmonic Distoron Mode
Change between display modes by pressing the MODE buon on the control screen.

From the main set up page, press the “BAR GRAPH” buon
to access this window. Bar graph amp scaling allows you to
set the range of the 20 segment current bar graph for the
X, Y, Z and Neutral displays in the volt amp frequency
mode. Use the up/down buons to adjust the value from
20 to 1000 amps. The bar graph will display all 20 bars
when measured current is the same as set current value.
Press escape to return to the main setup menu.
KWh Reset
From the main set up page, press the “KWh RESET” buon
