Introduction
Using this Manual
This manual contains information about the Packet Power™ Power Monitoring Module
(“PMM”) and associated software. This manual is divided into two parts. The first part is
relevant to products using the P5T3 models of the PMM. The second part is relevant to the
P2T3 models of the PMM. The PMM model number and associated information is noted on
the product label. Each part is divided into sections covering the installation and connection
of the PMM, basic software configuration and technical specifications.
Power Monitoring Module Overview
Service types
The PMM provides single and three-phase A/C net-metering-compatible power consumption
and quality monitoring. The PMM is capable of real-time monitoring of three-phase power
systems in a variety of configurations. The PMM is directly connected to the monitored
circuit for voltage monitoring and uses external current transformers (“C/T”s) for current
monitoring.
Communication
PMM incorporates Packet Power’s advanced zero-configuration wireless mesh networking
technology to transmit power measurement data to remote data monitoring and analysis
systems.
Enclosure
PMM is designed to fit into a variety of standard electrical
enclosures. In order to provide a reliable radio connection, the PMM
is equipped with an internal radio antenna fully encased within the
enclosure. To allow proper radio operation, the PMM must be
housed such that the top portion of the unit is not fully enclosed in a
metal housing. The PMM must be housed in an enclosure that
prevents access to the terminal strip and wires. The PMM is certified
as a UL modular device.
Packet Power Solution Overview
The PMM communicates using Packet Power’s wireless network. As soon as a PMM is
installed and powered up, it automatically tries to join the wireless network. If you already
have an operating Packet Power network within your facility all information from the PMM
will shortly become accessible.
If you do not yet have a Packet Power network operating within your facility, a separate
radio gateway device called an Ethernet Gateway is required to create the wireless network
needed in order to gather information from the PMM. A software application operates in
conjunction with the radio gateway device(s) to control how information is gathered and
formatted for transmission over an IP network for consumption by various other applications.
Please refer to the software section of the manual for additional information regarding
wireless gateway and software setup.

P5T3 Models
The P5T3 provides the following enhancements over the original models:
 Capable of supporting 60 to 270 volts
 Support for 2.4GHz and 860-920MHz radio spectrum
 Local LED display
 Compatibility with a broader range of current transformers
Installation
Safety prerequisites
The PMM should be installed only by qualified technicians with a solid understanding of
electrical wiring and devices. Familiarity with and understanding of all terms used in this
section is assumed. The user is responsible for ensuring that all electrical connections are
safely performed in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations using appropriate
tools and materials. The user is responsible for ensuring that all applicable codes and
regulations are satisfied.
The PMM requires that a proper, external power disconnect such as switch or circuit
breaker be available upstream (on the supply side) from the unit. Power must be
disconnected before the unit is installed.
The PMM is a CAT II/CAT III measurement device. When the device is powered, line
voltages may be present on all device terminals, including the C/T terminals IA, IB, and IC.
All wiring and C/Ts connected to the device must meet the appropriate CAT II/CAT III
standards.
Please note that exact line voltages vary with regions. “120V” is used to denote voltages in
the 100-120V range. “208V” and “220V” are used to denote voltages in the 200-240V
range.
Choosing the PMM version and wiring configuration
Before installing the PMM please determine the type of circuit being monitored, including:
1. Circuit type (single phase vs. three phase, Wye vs. Delta)
2. Line voltages. Please be careful not to confuse intra-phase (e.g. L-L) voltage with
line-neutral (e.g. L-N) voltage.
3. Line current ratings.
4. Any space considerations that may affect the choice of C/T.
Once this information is available, please refer to Table 2 below and the wiring diagrams to
determine the appropriate PMM voltage version, wiring configuration and the number of
current transformers required.

Choosing the correct current transformers
The PMM can operate with a variety of standard current transformers (C/Ts). Any current
transformers used with the PMM must satisfy the following criteria:
Copyright 2009-2013 Packet Power, LLC.
Packet Power™ Monitoring Module Users Manual
1. The C/T must be approved by Packet Power for use with the PMM.
2. The C/T must be sized correctly for the maximum current of the circuit being
measured.
3. The C/T must meet all local and national safety requirements relevant to the
installation, including but not limited to maximum voltage and any other relevant
mechanical requirements.
4. The output of the C/T must be compatible with the PMM. There are two versions of
the P5T3 PMM, one designed to work with certain un-shunted C/Ts and one
designed to work with certain shunted CTs. In order to receive accurate readings, the
PMM firmware must be programmed to match the exact specifications of the C/T that
is being used.
5. Each C/T input is fuse-protected with a 250mA safety fuse. Safety fuses are not
field-replaceable.
6. Using the wrong C/T can result in damage to the PMM and inaccurate measurement
readings. Please use only the C/T’s supplied by Packet Power with your PMM.
Sample C/T’s and their associated current range are shown below:

CR Magnetics CR 3110-3000
JD-JC24-200
Max. monitored current
35A
72A
106A
235A
Note that C/T’s may provide less accurate readings at loads under 5-10% of their maximum
rated current.
Installing the current transformer connections
Once the appropriate current transformers have been chosen they should be installed over
the appropriate load-carrying lines and connected to the PMM terminals according to the
configuration diagram. Please note that current transformers are polarized (i.e. the two wires
are not interchangeable) – if swapped, the PMM will detect energy as flowing in the opposite
direction (“running the meter backwards”). Please refer to current transformer data sheet to
determine the correct connection or contact Packet Power.
Note: You must ensure the current transformer(s) you have selected is approved by
Packet Power and matched correctly to maximum rated load of the conductor on
which it will be used. You are responsible for understanding how to correctly select
and use the appropriate current transformers for the type of power you wish to
monitor. Failure to correctly size and install the current transformers could result in
product failure and hazardous operating conditions.
Installing the voltage circuit connections
Please connect the appropriate monitored voltage lines to the appropriate PMM terminals
using 14-20AWG wire that meets all relevant safety standards.
Note: You must ensure that all connections (“taps”) being made to the load-carrying
lines satisfy relevant safety codes and local regulations. You are responsible for
understanding how to perform this connection. Failure to correctly perform this
connection could result in product failure and hazardous operating conditions.
Verifying PMM connections
Before mounting the PMM please verify that:
Copyright 2009-2013 Packet Power, LLC.
Packet Power™ Monitoring Module Users Manual
1. You are using the correct voltage version of the PMM for your configuration.
2. All current transformers have been correctly located over the load-carrying lines
(please consult C/T documentation if necessary)
3. All current transformers have been correctly and securely connected to the PMM
terminals
4. All voltage connections have been correctly and securely connected to the PMM
terminals.
Mounting the PMM
The PMM must be firmly secured within a housing that prevents access to any exposed
connectors and ensures the connectors cannot come into contact with an electrically
conductive enclosure. The design of the PMM allows for easy installation in a standard
gang box with a full face plate as shown in the sequence below.
Copyright 2009-2013 Packet Power, LLC.
Packet Power™ Monitoring Module Users Manual
Note: If the current transformer(s) are located in the same enclosure as the PMM,
you must ensure that any electrical code fill rate requirements are being met.
LED readings and indicator lights
The PMM has 3 large alpha-numeric LEDs that provide for local display of monitoring
data and 3 small lights adjacent to the LEDs that provide operating status information.
The PMM can be configured to display all or some of the following data via the numeric
LEDs. The order of display can also be customized. The data type indicator is shown
followed by the corresponding value, e.g. to show a reading of 10.1 amps on channel A,
the PMM displays “A1” followed by “10.1”.

Communication
Information gathered by the PMM is transmitted via a Packet Power radio network. The
P5T3 model may use a radio operating at 2.4GHz, a radio operating in a subset of the range
between 860 and 930MHz (the exact frequencies vary with region – please contact Packet
Power for details), or both depending on how the firmware in the module is configured.
The network operates in a mesh topology. Each device in the network must be within range
of at least one other device in the network. The effective range of the radio in the PMM
varies depending on several factors, including the environment in which the product is used.
Typically, the device has an effective range of 25 to over 100 feet. The PMM will not
transmit effectively if it is installed in an enclosure that blocks radio signals.
Every site where the PMM is deployed must have installed at least one compatible Packet
Power Ethernet Gateway device and associated software to collect data and prepare it for
transmission to approved monitoring and analysis applications.
The rate at which monitoring information is gathered from a PMM depends primarily on the
ratio of the number of PMMs to the number of gateways. It can range from every few
seconds to 100 seconds or more.
Note: In the event of a loss of power to the PMM, energy consumption information
(Wh) for all three channels and the total is retained in non-volatile memory and will be
transmitted when power is restored.

electrical wiring and devices. Familiarity with and understanding of all terms used in this
section is assumed. The user is responsible for ensuring that all electrical connections are
safely performed in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations using appropriate
tools and materials. The user is responsible for ensuring that all applicable codes and
regulations are satisfied.
The PMM requires that a proper, external power disconnect such as switch or circuit
breaker be available upstream (on the supply side) from the unit. Power must be
disconnected before the unit is installed.
The PMM is a CAT II/CAT III measurement device. When the device is powered, line
voltages may be present on all device terminals, including the C/T terminals IA, IB, and IC.
All wiring and C/Ts connected to the device must meet the appropriate CAT II/CAT III
standards.
Please note that exact line voltages vary with regions. “120V” is used to denote voltages in
the 100-120V range. “208V” and “220V” are used to denote voltages in the 200-240V
range.
Choosing the PMM version and wiring configuration
Before installing the PMM please determine the type of circuit being monitored, including:
5. Circuit type (single phase vs. three phase, Wye vs. Delta)
6. Line voltages. Please be careful not to confuse intra-phase (e.g. X-Y) voltage with
line-neutral (e.g. X-N) voltage. Please refer to the wiring diagrams (Figure 8 through
Figure ) if necessary.
7. Line current ratings.
8. Any space considerations that may affect the choice of C/T.
Once this information is available, please refer to Table 2 below and the wiring diagrams to
determine the appropriate PMM voltage version, wiring configuration and the number of
current transformers required.

Choosing the correct current transformers
The PMM can operate with a variety of standard current transformers (C/Ts). Any current
transformers used with the PMM must satisfy the following criteria:
Copyright 2009-2013 Packet Power, LLC.
21
Packet Power™ Monitoring Module Users Manual
1. The C/T must be approved by Packet Power for use with the PMM.
2. The C/T must be sized correctly for the maximum current of the circuit being
measured.
3. The C/T must meet all local and national safety requirements relevant to the
installation, including but not limited to maximum voltage and any other relevant
mechanical requirements.
4. The output of the C/T must be compatible with the PMM. Each C/T input is fuseprotected with a 250mA safety fuse. Safety fuses are not field-replaceable.
5. In order to receive accurate readings, the PMM firmware must be programmed to
match the exact specifications of the C/T that is being used.
6. Using the wrong C/T can result in damage to the PMM and inaccurate measurement
readings. Please use only the C/T’s supplied by Packet Power with your PMM.
Some sample C/T’s and their associated current range are shown below:
Current transformer
PacPow 35A, Geist 35A
Geist 8688
CR Magnetics CR 3110-3000
JD-JC24-200
Max. monitored current
35A
72A
106A
235A
Note that C/T’s may provide less accurate readings at loads under 5-10% of their maximum
rated current.
Installing the current transformer connections
Once the appropriate current transformers have been chosen they should be installed over
the appropriate load-carrying lines and connected to the PMM terminals according to the
configuration diagram. Please note that current transformers are polarized (i.e. the two wires
are not interchangeable) – if swapped, the PMM will detect energy as flowing in the opposite
direction (“running the meter backwards”). Please refer to current transformer data sheet to
determine the correct connection or contact Packet Power.
Note: You must ensure the current transformer(s) you have selected is matched
correctly to maximum rated load of the conductor on which it will be used. You are
responsible for understanding how to correctly select and use the appropriate current
transformers for the type of power you wish to monitor. Failure to correctly size and
install the current transformers could result in product failure and hazardous
operating conditions.
Installing the voltage circuit connections
Please connect the appropriate monitored voltage lines to the appropriate PMM terminals
using 14-20AWG wire that meets all relevant safety standards.
Note: You must ensure that all connections (“taps”) being made to the load-carrying
lines satisfy relevant safety codes and local regulations. You are responsible for
understanding how to perform this connection. Failure to correctly perform this
connection could result in product failure and hazardous operating conditions.
Verifying PMM connections
Before mounting the PMM please verify that:
5. You are using the correct voltage version of the PMM for your configuration.
Copyright 2009-2013 Packet Power, LLC.
22
Packet Power™ Monitoring Module Users Manual
6. All current transformers have been correctly located over the load-carrying lines
(please consult C/T documentation if necessary)
7. All current transformers have been correctly and securely connected to the PMM
terminals
8. All voltage connections have been correctly and securely connected to the PMM
terminals.
Mounting the PMM
The PMM must be firmly secured within a housing that prevents access to any exposed
connectors and ensures the connectors cannot come into contact with an electrically
conductive enclosure. The design of the PMM allows for easy installation in a standard
gang box with a full face plate as shown in the sequence below.
Copyright 2009-2013 Packet Power, LLC.
23
Packet Power™ Monitoring Module Users Manual
Note: If the current transformer(s) are located in the same enclosure as the PMM,
you must ensure that any electrical code fill rate requirements are being met.
Maintenance and Repair
Maintenance
The PMM has no user-serviceable parts and requires no maintenance. If necessary, clean
the outside of the PMM using a clean, dry cloth.
Repair
The PMM contains no field-serviceable components in the PMM. Failed products should be
returned to Packet Power for replacement. For any service or repair information please
contact Packet Power at service@packetpower.com. Please be sure to enclose the 16character serial number.

Communication
Information gathered by the PMM is transmitted via a Packet Power radio network operating
in a subset of the range between 860 and 930MHz (the exact frequencies vary with region –
please contact Packet Power for details). The network operates in a mesh topology. Each
device in the network must be within range of at least one other device in the network. The
effective range of the radio in the PMM varies depending on several factors, including the
environment in which the product is used. Typically, the device has an effective range of 50
to over 100 feet. The PMM will not transmit effectively if it is installed in an enclosure that
blocks radio signals.
Every site where the PMM is deployed must have installed at least one compatible Packet
Power Gateway device and associated software to collect data and prepare it for
transmission to approved monitoring and analysis applications.
The frequency with which monitoring information is gathered from a PMM depends primarily
on the ratio of the number of PMMs to the number of gateways. It can range from every
few seconds to 100 seconds or more.
Note: In the event of a loss of power to the PMM, energy consumption information
(Wh) for all three channels and the total is retained in non-volatile memory and will be
transmitted when power is restored.
Sample Label
Note the PMM is manufactured in two different models with different input power source
requirements. The required type of input power is indicated on the product safety label.
