Overview and Specifications
2 OVERVIEW AND SPECIFICATIONS
Power Xpert Meter 2000 Series Overview
The PXM 2250/2260/2270/2280/2290 is a multifunction power and energy

meter designed to be used in electrical substations, panel boards, and as a
primary revenue meter, due to its high performance measurement capabil-
ity. The unit provides multifunction measurement of all electrical parameters
and makes the data available in multiple formats via display, communication
systems, and through analog signal transmission.
Figure 2.1: PXM 2000 Meter
The PXM 2000 Series meter is designed with advanced meaurement capabilities, allowing it to
achieve high performance accuracy. It is specified as a 0.2% class energy meter for billing ap-
plications as well as a highly accurate panel indication meter.
The PXM 2000 Series meter provides additional capabilities, including standard RS485, Ethernet
capability, Modbus, SNMP, Modbus TCP, BACnet/IP, and DNP 3.0 Protocols, and Option cards
that can be added at any time.
Features of the PXM 2000 Series include:

• 0.2% Class revenue certifiable energy and demand metering
• Meets ANSI C12.20 (0.2%) and IEC 687 (0.2%) classes
• Multifunction measurement including voltage, current, power, frequency, energy, power
factor, etc.
• Power quality measurements (%THD and Alarm Limits)
• Percentage of Load Bar for analog meter reading
• Easy to use faceplate programming
• Standard RS485 communication
• Standard Ethernet communication
• Optional I/O Cards - field upgradeable without removing installed meter
In addition to the PXM 2000 Series meter with integral display/transducer configuration, a trans-
ducer-only (without a display) configuration is available. The PXM 2000
Series Transducer provides RS485 communication via Modbus RTU,
Modbus ASCII or DNP 3.0 protocols, SNMP, Modbus TCP, and BACnet/IP,
as well as standard Ethernet communication.
The PXM 2000 Series Transducer is designed to install using DIN Rail
mounting. (See Chapter 3 of this manual for mounting information.)
Figure 2.2: Transducer-Only
Voltage and Current Inputs
Universal Voltage Inputs
Voltage Inputs allow measurement up to 576 VAC (Phase to Reference) and 721 VAC (Phase to
Phase). This insures proper meter safety when wiring directly to high voltage systems. One unit
will perform to specification on 69 volt, 120 volt, 230 volt, 277 volt, and 347 volt power systems.
Note: Higher voltages require the use of potential transformers (PTs).
Current Inputs
The unit supports a 5 amp or a 1 amp secondary for current measurements.
Note: The secondary current must be specified and ordered with the meter.
The PXM 2000 Series Current Inputs use a unique dual input method:
Method 1: CT Pass Through
The CT passes directly through the meter without any physical termination on the meter. This
insures that the meter cannot be a point of failure on the CT circuit. This is preferable for utility
users when sharing relay class CTs. No Burden is added to the secondary CT circuit.
Method 2: Current “Gills”
This unit additionally provides ultra-rugged Termination Pass Through Bars that allow CT leads to
be terminated on the meter. This eliminates any possible point of failure at the meter. This is a
preferred technique for insuring that relay class CT integrity is not compromised (the CT will not
open in a fault condition).

Utility Peak Demand
The PXM 2000 Series provides user-configured Fixed Window or Sliding Window Demand
modes. This feature enables you to set up a customized Demand profile. Fixed Window Demand
mode records the average demand for time intervals that you define (usually 5, 15, 30, or 60
minutes). Sliding Window Demand mode functions like multiple, overlapping Fixed Window De-
mands. You define the subintervals at which an average of demand is calculated. An example of
Sliding Window Demand mode would be a 15-minute Demand block using 5-minute subintervals,
thus providing a new demand reading every 5 minutes, based on the last 15 minutes.
Demand is the power consumption (Amp, Watt, VAR, VA, and PF) averaged over a specific inter-
val of time (Window). The PXM2000 is capable of measuring demand by two internally triggered
methods:
1. Fixed Demand Window (5, 15, 30, or 60 min.);

2. Sliding Demand Window (10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60 with pre-defined subintervals of 5, 15,
and 30).
Sliding Demand Window

Total Interval Sub Interval
10 5 Minutes
15 5 Minutes
20 5 Minutes
30 15 Minutes
45 15 Minutes
60 15 Minutes
30
As an example of a Fixed Demand Window, setting the Demand Interval to 15 minutes would pro-
vide an average value for the past 15 minutes and update that value every 15 minutes thereafter.
As an example of a Sliding Demand Window, setting the Demand Interval to 15 minutes would
provide a 15 minute average every 5 minutes (based on the previous 15 minutes).

4 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Considerations When Installing Meters

Installation of the PXM 2000 Series must be performed only by qualified personnel who follow standard
safety precautions during all procedures. Those personnel should have appropriate training and expe-
rience with high voltage devices. Appropriate safety gloves, safety glasses and protective clothing is
recommended.
During normal operation of the PXM 2000 Series, dangerous voltages flow through many parts of the meter, includ-
ing: Terminals and any connected CTs (Current Transformers) and PTs (Potential Transformers), all I/O Modules
(Inputs and Outputs) and their circuits. All Primary and Secondary circuits can, at times, produce lethal voltages
and currents. Avoid contact with any current-carrying surfaces.
Do not use the meter or any I/O Output Device for primary protection or in an energy-limiting capacity. The meter
can only be used as secondary protection. Do not use the meter for applications where failure of the meter may
cause harm or death. Do not use the meter for any application where there may be a risk of fire.
All meter terminals should be inaccessible after installation.
Do not apply more than the maximum voltage the meter or any attached device can withstand. Refer to meter and/
or device labels and to the Specifications for all devices before applying voltages. Do not HIPOT/Dielectric test any
Outputs, Inputs, or Communications terminals.
Eaton recommends the use of Shorting Blocks and Fuses for voltage leads and power supply to prevent hazard-
ous voltage conditions or damage to CTs, if the meter needs to be removed from service. CT grounding is optional.
Notes:
• IF THE EQUIPMENT IS USED IN A MANNER NOT SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER, THE PRO-
TECTION PROVIDED BY THE EQUIPMENT MAY BE IMPAIRED.
• THERE IS NO REQUIRED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OR INSPECTION NECESSARY FOR

SAFETY. HOWEVER, ANY REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY THE FAC-
TORY.
DISCONNECT DEVICE: The following part is considered the equipment disconnnect device.
A SWITCH OR CIRCUIT-BREAKER SHALL BE INCLUDED IN THE END-USE EQUIPPENT OR BUILD-
ING INSTALLATION. THE SWITCH SHALL BE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE EQUIPMENT AND
WITHIN EASY REACH OF THE OPERATOR. THE SWITCH SHALL BE MARKED AS THE DISCON-
NECTING DEVICE FOR THE EQUIPMENT.

CT Leads Terminated to Meter
The PXM 2000 Series is designed to have Current Inputs wired in one of three ways. Figure 4.1 shows the most
typical connection where CT Leads are terminated to the meter at the Current Gills. This connection uses Nickel-
Plated Brass Studs (Current Gills) with screws at each end. This connection allows the CT wires to be terminated
using either an “O” or a “U” lug. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver. The maximum installation
torque is 8.5 in./lb (1.0 N·M).
Other current connections are shown in Figures 4.2 and 4.3. Voltage and RS485/KYZ connection is shown in
Figure 4.4.
Current Gills
(Nickel-Plated Brass Stud)
Figure 4.1: CT Leads terminated to Meter, #8 Screw for Lug Connection
Wiring Diagrams are shown later in this chapter.
Communications Connections are detailed in Chapter 5.

CT Leads Pass Through (No Meter Termination)
The second method allows the CT wires to pass through the CT Inputs without terminating at the meter. In this
case, remove the Current Gills and place the CT wire directly through the CT opening. The opening will
accommodate up to 0.177” (4.5 mm) maximum diameter CT wire.

Voltage Fuses
Eaton recommends the use of fuses on each of the sense voltages and on the control power, even though the wiring
diagrams in this chapter do not show them.
Use a 0.1 Amp fuse on each voltage input.

Use a 3 Amp slow blow fuse on the power supply.

Serial Communication Installation
5 SERIAL COMMUNICATION INSTALLATION
PXM 2000 Series Communication
The PXM 2000 Series provides RS485 communication speaking Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU, and DNP 3.0
protocols.
RS485 / KYZ Output (Com 2)

Com 2 provides a combination RS485 and an Energy Pulse Output (KYZ pulse). See Chapter 2 for the KYZ Out-
put Specifications; see Chapter 6 for Pulse Constants.
Figure 5.1: Meter Back with RS485 Communication Installation
RS485 allows you to connect one or multiple PXM 2000 Series meters to a PC or other device, at either a local or
remote site. All RS485 connections are viable for up to 4000 ft (1219.20 m).

Figure 5.2 shows the Detail of a 2-Wire RS485 Connection.
PXM 2000 Series Connection
Figure 5.2: 2-Wire RS485 Connection
Notes:
For All RS485 Connections:
• Use a shielded twisted pair cable 22 AWG (0.33 mm2) or thicker, and ground the shield, preferably at one loca-
tion only.
• Establish point-to-point configurations for each device on a RS485 bus: connect (+) terminals to (+) terminals;
connect (-) terminals to (-) terminals.
• You may connect up to 31 meters on a single bus using RS485. Before assembling the bus, each meter must
have a unique address: refer to Chapter 8 for instructions.
• Protect cables from sources of electrical noise.
• Avoid both “Star” and “Tee” connections (see Figure 5.4).
• No more than two cables should be connected at any one point on an RS485 network, whether the connec-
tions are for devices, converters, or terminal strips.
• Include all segments when calculating the total cable length of a network. If you are not using an RS485 repeat-
er, the maximum length for cable connecting all devices is 4000 ft (1219.20 m).
• Connect shield to RS485 Master and individual devices as shown in Figure 5.3. You may also connect the shield
to earth-ground at one point.
• Termination Resistors (RT) may be needed on both ends for longer length transmission lines. However, since
the meter has some level of termination internally, Termination Resistors may not be needed. When they are
used, the value of the Termination Resistors is determined by the electrical parameters of the cable.

Performing Watt-Hour Accuracy Testing (Verification)
To be certified for revenue metering, power providers and utility

companies must verify that the billing energy meter performs to
the stated accuracy. To confirm the meter’s performance and
calibration, power providers use field test standards to ensure
that the unit’s energy measurements are correct. Since the PXM
2000 Series are traceable revenue meters, each model contains
a utility grade test pulse that can be used to gate an accuracy
standard. This is an essential feature required of all billing grade
meters.

Using the I/O Option Cards
7 USING THE I/O OPTION CARDS
Overview
The PXM 2000 Series offers extensive I/O expandability. Using the one universal Option Card slot, the unit can be
easily configured to accept a new I/O Option card even after installation, without your needing to remove it from the
installation. The meter auto-detects any installed Option card. One module of any type outlined in this chapter can
be used per meter.
Installing an Option Card

The Option Card is inserted in the Option Card slot in the back of the meter.
Note: Remove Voltage Inputs and power supply terminal from the meter before performing card installation.
1. Remove the screws at the top and the bottom of the Option Card slot cover.
2. There is a plastic “track” on the top and the bottom of the slot. The Option card fits into this track.
WARNING! For safety, remove these connections before installing Option Card:
(GND,L, N, Vref, Va, Vb, Vc).
3. Slide the card inside the plastic track and insert it into the slot. You will hear a click when the card is fully
inserted. Be careful, it is easy to miss the guide track.
CAUTIONS!
• Make sure the I/O card is inserted properly into the track to avoid damaging the card’s components.
• For proper fit of cards, and to avoid damaging the unit, insert components in the following order:
1. Option Card
2. Detachable terminal block 1
3. Detachable terminal block 2
4. Communication connection for RS485 Port
Configuring Option Cards

CAUTION! FOR PROPER OPERATION, RESET ALL PARAMETERS IN THE UNIT AFTER HARDWARE
MODIFICATION.
The meter auto-detects any Option card installed in it. You configure the Option card through the Power Xpert®

Introduction to Web Server Pages
8 INTRODUCTION TO WEB SERVER PAGES

This chapter is an introduction to the Power Xpert Meter web server pages and describes
how to access basic information through them. Each option provides easy access to ba-
sic metering functions as well as setup configuration. Other information, such as wave-
forms, trending graphs, harmonic tables, and phasors are also available.
The Functions on the Web Server Pages chapter provides more detailed information
about the functions, features, and options available on each page in the meter’s web
interface.
Accessing the Web Pages

You can access the Power Xpert Meter’s built-in web site from a web browser. To access
the meter’s web site, simply enter the meter’s IP address as the URL. You can find this
from the front panel of your meter.
Hit the MENU button on the face of your meter. Use the down arrow key to scroll through
the menu options until you see “IP” blinking in the top row of the display. Hit the ENTER
button. The IP address will be displayed.
You should see something similar to the following page.
Loading Page
Overview (Default)
The Overview page displays an overview of the most pertinent current meter readings.
From this page, you can navigate to the Trends, Energy, Timeline, and Settings pages.
The navigational buttons are in a row at the top of the screen.

Each section of the Overview page also provides the hypertext links that also lead to
more detailed information on the relevant page.

Common Controls for Selecting Information

Under the Trends tab, the Meter, Power, Quality, and Phasor pages share many fea-
tures. These pages provide drop-down menus and radio buttons to select the informa-
tion to be viewed and options for viewing it. For example, in the Meter page the left-side
drop-down menu selects how voltage is viewed: Line-Line, Line-Neutral or Symmetric
(requires firmware version 21 or later). The radio buttons select the voltage information to
view: VLL Average, AB, BC, or CA.
If more than one type of graph is available on the page, another drop-down menu in the
top center of the page provides options for selecting available graphs. For example, in
the Meter page you can select from the following types of graphs:
• Trend Max-Min
• Waveform (available in the PXM 2270, PXM 2280, and PXM 2290 models only)
• Harmonics (available in the PXM 2270, PXM 2280, and PXM 2290 models only)
Note that harmonic data must be available and of sufficient magnitude for that time period
in order to view the single-cycle Waveform graph of harmonic distortion. If the required
data isn’t available or significant enough, you’ll see an error message.
The Trend graph is a “snapshot” of the current values plus the historical values in the
designated range (zoom). It doesn’t update automatically and you must therefore re-
select the information to update the display.

You can pan or zoom through a graph. Use the arrows on the sides of the graph to move
forward or backward through the available time range. Use the zoom feature by click-
ing and dragging in the plot area to manually zoom or use the drop-down menu, which
provided the following time ranges:
• 1 - 16 hours
• 2 - Two days
• 3 - Eight days
A table containing all of the plotted data points is beneath the graph. You can scroll
through this to view individual data points.
For the demand Profile and Demand Comparison on the Energy tab, the zoom feature
provides the following time ranges:
• 1 - 16 hours
• 2 - Two days
• 3 - Seven days (Demand Profile)
• 4 - Four and-a-half weeks (Demand Profile)

Printing and Exporting Information

Most pages have an Export Data/Download button. The Export Data function will save
the set of data to either a comma-separated values (CSV) file or will display the informa-
tion in your default .csv file viewer (such as Microsoft Excel). Each zoom level provides a
different time interval of data.
Timeline Page
The left pane of the Timeline page lists events within the event log. The drop-down menu
controls what events are shown in the list, either currently active events or all events
(including historical events).
You can also acknowledge and close events from this page (this requires the administra-
tive account name and password).
The bottom pane shows details about all events. For the PXM 2280 or PXM 2290, if the
event is a captured waveform, you can view both the event details and the waveform
through the top of the right pane (the bottom shows the event details). The drop-down
menu selects how the waveform is viewed: Phase A, B, or C Current or voltage as A,
B, or C Line-to-Neutral. You can use the other drop-down list to switch from the normal
waveform to an RMS plot.

Functions on the Web Server Pages
9 FUNCTIONS ON THE WEB SERVER PAGES
The Power Xpert® Meter provides a detailed web interface, providing information for five
main functional categories:
• Overview
• Trends
• Energy
• Timeline
• I/O
A great deal of information is nested in drop down menus and related pages within these
categories. By drilling-down through the many pages within each category, increasing
levels of detail about the measurements can be obtained. At the upper right corner of
the page for each category is a dropdown list titled “Choose an Action...”. This list can be
used to reset data.
This chapter of the manual is not an exhaustive resource that displays every page in the
system. The intent is to give the user a general understanding of where the most useful
and pertinent information is stored for review.
Note: Setup information is not provided in this chapter. See Meter Settings Using the
Web Server in Chapter 10 for setup details.
A General Note about Graphs and Plots

When you display a trend plot or other graph on the various meter pages, this is a “snap-
shot” showing the last values when the graph was displayed plus the historical data. To
update with more current values, re-select the value that is displayed in the list of radio
buttons along the left of the page.
Overview
The Overview page provides a quick overview of the key current electrical values from
the meter. It includes navigational links to each of the pages as well as to frequently
used diagrams and graphs.
Trends
The Trends page provides Meter, Power, Quality, and Phasor values. You can view infor-
mation by measurement type or by phase.
Meter
The Meter page provides Voltage, Current, and Frequency values.

Voltage
The Power Xpert Meter measures line-to-line and line-to-neutral voltages and calculates
rms values over the period of one second. The system average values are calculated for
main voltage channels.
The Power Xpert Meter maintains a log of all voltage rms measurements date and time
stamps. This information is also available as a trend graph. The min, max, and averages
are recorded for each interval. The following table shows the amount of data logged per
Power Xpert Meter model:
Model 5-minute trends/ 15-minute trends/ 1-hour trends/
intervals intervals intervals
2250 90 days 1 year 5 years
2260 180 days 2 years 10 years
2270 1 year 3 years 15 years
All meter models also store 100,000 global event log entries and 1,000,000 global dead-
band log entries.
The most recent minimum and maximum values are detected for all the voltage channels
and are logged with date and time stamps. Current minimum and maximum values can
be cleared by the user at any time through the right-click menu. After the current values
are cleared, the meter will begin calculating new minimum and maximum values.
Locating Voltage Information

From the Meter page select Line-Line, Line-Neutral or Symmetric from the drop-down
box beside Voltage on the left side of the page. Click one of the radio buttons below Volt-
age to select a specific voltage measurement:
• VLL Average, AB, BC, CA for Line-Line or VLN Average
• AN, BN, CN for Line-Neutral
• Zero-Sequence, Pos-Sequence, Neg-Sequence (% Voltage and % Current imbal-
ance are also shown) for Symmetric.
The page will update to display the selection.
You can select trending, waveform, harmonics or graphs from the drop-down box near
the top of the page.
When Trend Min/Max is selected, the minimum and maximum values are displayed with
date and time stamps.
When Harmonics is selected, a table is displayed showing the Frequency (Hz), Mag-
nitude, and Angle (Deg). By default, the fundamental frequency is included. It can be
excluded by selecting the Exclude Fundamental check box on the left side of the page.
Note: the Waveform and Harmonics views are only available on the PXM 2270,
PXM 2280, and PXM 2290 models.

When Trend Min/Max is selected, the minimum and maximum values are displayed on
the bottom, right side of the page with date and time stamps.
When Harmonics is selected, a table is displayed showing the Order, Frequency, Mag-
nitude, and Angle. (PXM 2270, PXM 2280, and PXM 2290 only).
Frequency
Frequency measurements for the meter occur every second using phase A voltage on
V1. In the absence of voltage, there is no frequency measurement. The result is a gap
in the trend data for frequency-dependent items. A trend of frequency measurements is
maintained with date and time stamps. Minimum and maximum values are detected and
saved with date and time stamps of the occurrence.
Locating Frequency Information

From the Meter page, click the Frequency radio button on the left side of the page.
To view the trending and graphs, click the drop-down box at the top of the page and
make a selection. Phasor is not available if wiring configuration is set to Delta.
When Trend Min/Max is selected, the minimum, maximum, and average values are
displayed on the bottom right side of the page with date and time stamps.
Harmonics are not available for frequency.

Meter Page: Frequency Display
Power
The Power page contains information about the present power consumption and power
factor. The meter calculates the following :
• Apparent Power Factor (PF) for System, Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C
• Apparent Power (kVA) for System, Phase A, Phase B and Phase C
• Real Power (kW) for System, Phase A, Phase B and Phase C
• Reactive Power (kvar) for System, Phase A, Phase B and Phase C
The meter will log the trend for all of the above measurements, as well as detect and
save Minimum and Maximum values with date and time stamps for all of the above
parameters.
Locating Power Information

From the Power page, click one of the radio buttons on the left side of the page that
represents the type of power measurement you want to view. The page will update to
display a graph with minimum, maximum and average values as per the selection.

Power Page.
Quality
The Quality page contains information about the present power quality for PXM 2000
series meters. These meters calculate the following instantaneous values, averaged over
a period of 60 cycles:
• Percent THD of Current for Phases A, B, and C.
• Percent THD of Voltage for Phases A, B, and C.
Using the drop-down box above the graph, you can select to view this information as a
trend, with minimum and maximum values, or as harmonics.
Note: The PXM 2250 meter does not measure %THD.
THD
The Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the rms
value of the ac signal after the fundamental component is removed and inter-harmonic
components are ignored to the rms value of the fundamental. The formula for THD is
provided below. The variables X1 and xn may represent either voltage or current and may
be expressed either as rms or peak values, as long as all are expressed in the same
fashion.

X1 = fundamental value of current or voltage.

xn = nth harmonic value of current or voltage.
Trend and Min/Max View

Like most other real-time measures, the % THD Current and Voltage measurements in
the Power Xpert® Meter are trended and minimum and maximum values are logged with
date and time stamps.
Trend View
Harmonics View
(PXM 2270, PXM 2280, and PXM 2290 only) The individual harmonics of the THD may
be viewed for up to 40 harmonics of the fundamental frequency. Select this view from the
upper-center drop down list.

Table of Data Points

For both views, a table below the graph provides the numeric values as
well. This table can be saved as a CSV file by clicking the download
button (pictured to the right).
Phasor
By default, all the options are selected when the Phasor diagram is selected. You can
clear an option on the left side of the page to remove the correlating point of the phasor
diagram. Phasor is not available if wiring configuration is set to Delta.

Phasor Page
Energy
The Power Xpert Meter measures and accumulates three kinds of energy values every
60 cycles: Real Power (Watts), Reactive Power (VAR) and Apparent Power (VA). Real
Power and Reactive Power take direction into account, and so are recorded for forward,
reverse, net and sum.
These measurements are used to calculate accumulators for the kWh Forward/Reverse,
Net and Sum: kVARh, Lag/Lead, Net and Sum, and kVAh:
• Real Power (Watts).
• Reactive Power (VAR) is the product of the voltage, the current, and the sine of the
phase angle between them.
• Apparent Power (VA) is the square root of the sum of the squares of the active and
reactive powers.
Demand
Demand is the power consumption at the receiving terminal averaged over a specific in-
terval of time. The Power Xpert Meter is capable of measuring demand by two methods,
fixed (Block) or sliding (Rolling), in intervals of 5 to 60 minutes. These measurements
are performed for the Total Current, kW Forward/Reverse, Net and Sum; kVar Lead/Lag,
Net and Sum and kVA.

Fixed and Sliding Demand

Fixed demand (Total Current), which is an average system current over time can be set
to average current over a range of 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. This is known as a fixed win-
dow. For example, setting the current demand window to 15 sets the meter to determine
the average current over the past 15 minutes and update the value every 15 minutes.
Power demand can be fixed, as described above, or sliding. For example, a 15 minute
average can be obtained that is updated every 5 minutes. To accomplish this, the Sub-
interval is set to 5 minutes and the Total Interval is set to 15.
Note: The Total Interval is the number of minutes in the average calculation. The
sub-interval is the number of minutes between updates.
The Power Xpert Meter starts the demand window on meter startup.
Demand Profile
Demand Profile is the magnitude and duration of loads applied in a prescribed time
sequence, including the transient and steady-state characteristics of the individual loads.
The Power Xpert Meter logs demand profile data from the following sources:
• kWh/kW: Forward, Reverse, Net, Sum.
• kVAh/kVA - kVARh/kVAR: Received, Delivered, Net, Sum, Total Current in Amperes,
Phase Currents.
You can set the interval (in lengths of 5 to 60 minutes), sub-interval (used if Sliding is
selected), and the demand type (Fixed or Sliding) in the Demand page under Setup.
The interval duration for the monthly profile is 15 minutes, it is not user programmable.
For the Demand Profile, you can select a date from the drop down list and then click
Show Profile to change the graph to reflect data from a different day.
Demand Profile

Demand Comparison
The Demand Comparison page is similar to the Demand Profile page, but provides a
graph you can use to compare two overlaid demand plots from selectable periods of time.
You can select to compare plots between:
• Today and Yesterday;
• This Week and Last Week;
• This Month and Last Month;
• 2 different Days;
• 2 different Weeks; and
• 2 different Months.
Peak demand is shown in the graph as a dashed line.
Demand Comparison Plot
Calendar Control While viewing the Demand Comparison page, you can also select to compare the infor-
mation to previous time periods: day-to-day (Demand Comparison only), week-to-week,
or month-to-month. If you’re comparing two specified time periods, such as two different
days, a calendar control appears when you click either date. Click a day in the calendar
to select the beginning and ending dates in the comparison. The < and > controls in the
calendar move forward or backward one month.
Locating Demand and Energy Information

From the Energy page:
1. Click a radio button on the left side of the page that represents the kind of Energy and
Demand you wish to view.
2. From the drop-down box near the top of the page, select either Energy and Demand,
Demand Profile, or Demand Comparison.
The page will update to display the information selected.

The table shown below the graph shows each demand update value along with the time
stamp. The contents of the table can be written to file formats that are compatible with
various third-party spreadsheet, database, and data analysis tools. The Export Data
button provides the option to write a comma separated values (.csv) file. Download the
.csv file to your computer. The first row in the file contains the column titles.
If you want to just copy a section of a table to paste into a report or e-mail, simply
select the information you want in the table and copy it to the Windows clipboard (Ctrl+C).
Place the cursor where you wish to paste the information in the third-party application
and press Ctrl+V.
Timeline
The Power Xpert Meter monitors and logs Out of Limits and Alarm on Value events.
Events can be used to send e-mail as well as to change the state of internal or external
I/Os.
Triggers
The following sections highlight available triggers. The meter will use the programmed
limits set by the user. Every event and its corresponding parameters along with the date
and time of the occurrence are logged and available for display or retrieval.
Triggers are configured in the Settings page. Each trigger can have the following limits:
• Upper Critical Limit.
• Upper Cautionary Limit.
• Lower Cautionary Limit.
• Lower Critical Limit.
In addition, you can select:
• If alarms are enabled for this data.
• If the limits simply trigger an event (not an alarm).
• If the alarm/event closes automatically when the value falls below the high limits or
above the low limits. If not, a user must acknowledge the alarm to remove it from the
active list.
In addition, alarms and events can generate e-mail and alerts. See the Meter Settings
Using the Web Server chapter for setup details for triggers, I/O, and E-mail.

Alarm on Value
The meter can issue alarms based on the value of a digital input from an option card, if a
Modbus/RTU device experiences a communications failure, or if a meter restart is pend-
ing.
Waveform Capture
The PXM 2280 and PXM 2290 support waveform capture during events as well as
manual waveform capture. The capabilities of the two models are detailed in the follow-
ing table.

Locating Events
From the Timeline page, you can view either currently active events or a log of all events
that have occurred. Click a specific event in the list to display the detailed information
about that event at the bottom of the page. You can acknowledge or clear either the cur-
rently selected event or all events.
The bottom shows details about all events. For the PXM 2280 or PXM 2290, if the event
is a captured waveform, you can view both the event details and the waveform. The
drop-down menu selects how the waveform is viewed: Phase A, B, or C current or volt-
age as A, B, or C to either Neutral, Line-to-Line or Symmetric. You can use the lower
drop-down list to switch the view from the normal waveform to an RMS plot of the cap-
tured data.

Overview
This section provides information about setup, including the settings that are currently
active and how to change settings in specific categories.
Settings Page
When the Settings pages load, the page defaults to the General tab. Underneath the
General tab, as well as the other tabs, are arrows that expand to display all of the de-
tailed information available for viewing or configuration. The detailed information will be
displayed directly underneath each dropdown heading.
List boxes, radio buttons, text boxes, etc., that are appropriate to the selection, will
appear to facilitate editing.
Note: All configuration (edit) abilities discussed in the following sections require login with
a user name and password to complete. The user account must have sufficient privi-
leges to edit the page.
After login, if the page remains idle for 10 minutes or longer, an automatic logout will oc-
cur with no visual confirmation that this has happened. If this occurs, the system will not
respond to data entry attempts and you will have to login again to continue the editing
process.
Note: The user will be prompted with a pop-up message if an invalid entry is attempted.
To edit any of the Setting pages, click Edit / Save / Cancel in the upper right hand corner.

Typical Settings Page
General Screen
Quick Setup
The Quick Setup page provides quick access to the most common configuration
settings.
Note: Only users with Wiring and Meter configuration permissions will be able to edit the
Quick Setup.
The Quick Setup page provides access to:
• The Wiring Configuration selection.
• Potential Transformer (PT) Ratio and the Current Transformer (CT Ratio).
• Energy units display format and the meter name.
Select one of the following wiring configurations based on the installation:
• 3-Phase, 4-wire (Y 3 CT).
• 3-Phase, 3-wire (Delta 2 CT).
• 3-Phase, 4-wire (Y 3 CT, 2 V) 2 1/2 Element. (This configuration is not recommended.
In this configuration the B phase voltage is not measured to save the cost of a
B Phase voltage transformer. A balanced 3-Phase voltage is assumed to estimate
B phase voltage for the purpose of 3-Phase power and energy estimation (does not
comply with Blondel’s theory). 2.5 element Wye configuration cannot detect problems
with B phase voltage. The Phase AB and BC voltage values shown on the Meter web

page are estimates only, and on the Power web page only the System values will be
shown. Phase A, B, and C values will display as zero.)
Note: Wiring configurations are detailed in Chapter 4, Electrical Installation.
Quick Setup Page - Meter

Clock
The PowerXpert Meter uses a real-time clock for time keeping. The meter can be con-
figured to adjust for Daylight Savings Time (DST) based on the time zone selection and
to synchronize time using NTP. By using NTP, time will be maintained by the real time
clock, and the real time clock will be calibrated and time corrected using NTP.
The Clock Setup page allows you to set the time in hours and minutes (in 24 hour time),
select a time sync option, and set the date for the meter. If NTP is selected for time
synch, an IP address of the NTP server should be set. When selecting NTP (Network
Time Protocol) as the Time Sync Source, at least one IP Address must be entered (as
many as three NTP server IP addresses may be entered). A list of public NTP servers is
available at: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome.
Note: The Time Zone and Date format settings only affect logs and e-mails.
Clock Setup Page

System
The System page is divided into two sections: Hardware and System Firmware.
Hardware Setup - Faceplate Display

You can configure the meter’s faceplate display. Options include:
• Phases Displayed: A; A and B; A, B, and C. This field determines which phases
display on the faceplate. For example, if you select A and B, only those two phases
will be displayed on the faceplate.
• Auto Scroll: This field enables or disables the scrolling of selected readings on the
faceplate. If enabled, the readings scroll every 5 seconds.
• Measurements to Display: Check the boxes of the readings you want displayed on
the faceplate of the meter. You must select at least one reading.
Faceplate Display Page

Hardware Setup - System Hardware

The System Hardware page provides a single, convenient page you can use to check
information about the meter and the cards installed in it.
System Hardware Page
Firmware
The Firmware page displays both the meter and gateway firmware version. Firmware
files can be downloaded from Eaton. Click the Upgrade button to launch the Firmware
Configuration page.

Firmware Page
CAUTION! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOAD AN OLDER VERSION OF THE FIRMWARE.

THIS CAN CAUSE THE METER TO NO LONGER FUNCTION. SHOULD THIS OC-
CUR, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO RESTORE THE METER TO WORKING ORDER BY
RESETTING IT TO THE FACTORY DEFAULT STATE (SEE “RESTORING THE METER
TO FACTORY DEFAULT CONFIGURATION” ON PAGE C-2).
To download firmware from the Firmware Page:
1. Go to www.eaton.com/meters and navigate to the PXM 2000 page. From there you
can click on Upgrade your meter/card firmware. Click on either the meter firmware or
Gateway Card firmware links.
2. Fill out the form (if required).
3. Download the firmware to your local file system.
4. Click the Browse button.
5. Select the firmware file.
6. Click the Open button.
Note: On rare instances (such as a problem occurring in the firmware upgrade) you may
need to reload the meter page after rebooting the meter. It can take around five minutes
for values to display after a reboot.

Triggers Screen
The meter has two types of triggers:
• Out of Limits triggers provide set points for issuing alarms for any of the supported
electrical measurements. You can also set a hysteresis value for these to avoid rapid,
multiple trips from a value that hovers around the set point.
• Alarm on Value has a set of core reset or communications parameters and may in-
clude additional communication or reset parameters from option cards. These param-
eters reflect device status and not electrical measurements.
• Waveform Capture provides setup parameters for capturing waveform data.
Out of Limits
You can use the Out of Limits Triggers page to set hi and low cautionary and critical
alarms for a wide range of electrical parameters (see page “Triggers” on page 9-12 for a
complete list of parameters). For a detailed discussion of triggers, see page “Triggers” on
page 9-12. Triggers can cause the following actions:
• An event is added to the event log, and can be seen in the Timeline screen.
• An event indicator will appear on the Timeline tab.
• The event information can be sent to one or more recipients as an e-mail message.
The Out of Limits Page
In addition to setpoints and alarm messages, you can also set the hysteresis. This is set
as a percentage, and is used to dampen “noise” events caused by a value bouncing back
and forth across a set point.
Out of Limits Edit Page
Alarm on Value
Use the Alarm on Value page to configure device, option card, or communications status
event triggers. You can configure if such events are to be treated as alarms, what the
alarm levels are, the messages associated with the events, the limit values, and if the
alarms are to be auto-closing. These alarms include:
• Restart is pending
• Modbus RTU communications failure
• Alarms based on the state of digital inputs.
Alarm on Value Page

Waveform Capture
Use the Waveform Capture page to configure capture parameters. Parameters you can
set are:
Samples per Cycle: For the PXM 2280 you can choose between 32 and 64 samples and
for the PXM 2290 you can choose either 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512 samples.
Cycles per Capture: This depends on the Samples per Cycle setting. The following
table lists the relationship between these settings (at 60 Hz):
Samples per Cycle Cycles per Capture
32 64
64 32
128 16
256 8
512 4
Number of Pretrigger Cycles: This is an integer up to the number of Cycles per
Capture minus one.
Set channels individually: When selected, the channels list expands to allow you to
select individual sag and swell values for each voltage line-to-neutral channel as well as
high current values for each phase. Otherwise, you can select general voltage sag and
swell voltage values and a general high current value for all phases.
Trigger Settings: To set an individual sag, swell, or high value, first select the check box
in the Enabled column. Next, enter the setpoint value either as a percentage of full scale
or as specific voltage or current value. Regardless of which you choose to enter, the
meter will calculate the value for the remaining column.
Waveform Capture Page

Metering Screen
Demand
The Demand page allows you to select either a fixed window or sliding window and the
respective intervals in minutes. A fixed window setting allows you to select one interval
period. For example, if 15 minutes is selected, the demand calculation will be performed
and the demand values will be updated every 15 minutes.
With a sliding window setting, the PowerXpert Meter provides a rolling average; you
select the interval period and the subinterval period. For example, if you select 15 min-
utes as the demand interval and 5 minutes as the subinterval, the demand will calculate
every 5 minutes using the 3 subinterval values (15 = 5 x 3).
Fixed Settings
Sliding Settings
Comms Screen
Under Comms, you can set the serial Ethernet/LAN settings, the e-mail settings (includ-
ing the mail server and recipients), as well as the setup parameters for SNMP. See
Chapter 11 for detailed information about security best practices.
Com 2 Setup
You can set the protocol, Modbus address, baud rate, response delay, parity, and stop
and data bits for the RS-485 serial connection. The protocol is selectable between Mod-
bus RTU, Modbus ASCII, or DNP. See Chapter 11 for detailed information about security
best practices.

Com 2 Setup Page
The Ethernet/LAN Setup page provides all of the TCP/IP communications settings. You
have two choices for configuring the meter:
• Fixed (static) IP address
• DHCP which resolves to a fixed IP address
Eaton does not recommend using a DHCP setup that can randomly assign an IP address
from a pool of possible addresses. Rather, if you use DHCP you should use a scheme
wherein the router or layer 3 switch assigns a fixed IP based on the MAC address of the
meter. Thus, at every reboot or power-up, the meter will always be granted the same IP
address. This method is sometimes called “static DHCP”.
Eaton recommends using a method that assigns a fixed IP address for two reasons:
• Software that may connect to and monitor the meter, such as PowerXpert Software,
accesses the meter via its IP address, and therefore if the meter losses power and
receives a new IP address on power-up, the connection from the software to the meter
will be broken.
• Users will also generally navigate to the meter’s web pages via the meter’s IP ad-
dress. If the meter is assigned a different IP on power-up or reboot via DHCP, users
won’t know the new address and won’t be able to access the meter.
Note: After you’ve assigned an IP address, it is visible from the front panel via the IP
menu.

Ethernet/LAN Setup Edit
In addition to network settings, you can also add account contact , and asset ID informa-
tion.
E-mail Setup
The PXM 2000 meter provides a highly configurable capability to report on meter activity
via e-mail. You can configure up to 10 separate recipients. If you are unsure as to how
to do this, ask your information technologies group or the person in charge of your mail
server for assistance. You can configure:
• The SMTP server, including the server and account information. You’ll need the
following information from your system administrator to enter under Global e-mail
configuration. The meter cannot communicate using the Microsoft exchange e-mail
protocol.
• A valid e-mail account (user name and password).
• The address of the SMTP mail server.
• The e-mail address of the account. Each meter can be assigned a separate e-mail
account. This allows you to easily determine which meter sent the e-mail through its
address.
• E-mail triggers. The meter will send emails in response to any event trigger that has
been enabled for e-mail, and this set includes a core set of hardware and communica-
tions failure triggers that you can also select. The contents of this list are dependent
on the option card installed in the meter.
• Recipient specific settings for up to 10 e-mail recipients. This includes settings for
sending emails when an event occurs and/or clears and for sending periodic status
emails. You can configure the e-mail address for each recipient by selecting a recipi-
ent through the Recipient drop-down list then configuring the recipient’s address
information by clicking the Edit button.
The following example is typical of the status e-mails sent by the meter:
PowerXpert Meter Status Report
Device=PowerXpert Meter 2000 Gateway Card
Time=09/24/2009 00:00:48
Serial Number=0036216826
MAC=00:20:85:00:FF:EA
Location=Meter Location
Model=PXM2270
The e-mail also includes two comma-separated files containing a trend log file with the
last 1000 entries and an event log file with the last 100 entries.
E-mail Setup Page
E-mail notifications can be configured individual for each recipient. Use the Recipients
drop-down to select which profile to configure. Select Edit in the Action Bar at the top of
the page. You can then make any changes to the email settings configuration. Choose
Save in the Action Bar at the top of the page when you are done making changes to this
recipient profile. The Test SMTP Server Connection button will test your settings and
report any errors directly on the E-mail Setup page.
SNMP Setup
The meter provides authentication configuration for both SNMP version 1 and version 3,
and you can enable/disable either or both protocols. You can also specify up to six trap
recipients. You can review/download the various supported management information
bases (MIBs) by clicking Help and then clicking Protocol Documents.
Note that the requirements for the two protocols are different. For SNMP 1 you are only
required to provide a read-only and read-write community string. However, SNMP 3
requires separate user names and pass phrases (passwords) for both read and write
privileges. Consult your SNMP software documentation for more information.
See Chapter 11 for detailed information about security best practices.

SNMP Setup Edit Page
BACnet/IP
The PXM 2080 and PXM 2090 meters have support for communications via BACnet/IP,
including:
• Support for BBMD for connecting across BACnet/IP routers.
• Limited BACnet router capability to create a “virtual subnet” that presents the network
card, meter and option card as separate, virtual BACnet devices. The virtual subnet
must be assigned a unique network number within your BACnet/IP network.
• Convenience features to automatically create instance numbers (if you wish to assign
a base ID for this purpose).
The meter can also generate an EPICS for the selected virtual device. See the meter’s
Help page to generate the file.
Consult your BACnet/IP administrator for information concerning network numbers and
BBMD setup information before setting the following those parameters.
The initial setup screen requires that you first set a Routed network number. The meter
presents the meter and the option card as two separate, virtual devices on a virtual
BACnet/IP network that is routed to via the gateway card. As such, you must provide the
number that will be assigned to the virtual network.

BACnet/IP Setup Page
After setting the Routed network number, the meter will provide a setup page in which
you can set the following:
Identification: These fields provide the unique identifiers for the gateway card itself.
They include:
• Base ID for Auto-assign: You can set a base ID number, and the meter will use this
number to automatically generate the object-identifier for the network card, the meter
itself, and the option card. To enable the Base ID method, select the Auto-assign
network card ID check box.
• Device ID (object-identifier): This is a the address of the device on the network.
You can manually set the number in a range of 1 to 4194302; however, Auto-assign
network card ID must not be selected in order to edit this field.
• Device object-name: This is an automatically generated string, designed to be
unique (it must be unique within your network). You can modify the string if required.
• BACnet/IP Mac address: This is not user-settable, and is provided as reference only.
BBMD
If you’re using a BBMD to connect your meter to another subnet in your BACnet/IP
network, you must also define the BBMD IP address to register with the BBMD on the
remote subnet. You can also set the BBMD time to live value. The default for the time
to live is 360 s, and you can set any value (in seconds) from 30 to 65534.
Virtual Routing
In addition to the Routed network number, you must designate if the virtual device IDs
(object-identifiers) for the meter and the option card will be automatically assigned.
Finally, you can set an IP address to be used as a template in generating the separate
BACnet/IP Mac addresses for the meter and option card.

Routed Device Settings

Depending on the settings under Virtual Routing, you can use these fields to either
specify the Device ID (object-identifier) or allow the meter to automatically select this.
You can also specify the Device object-name for each of the virtual devices. If an option
card is installed, you can select its virtual device through the drop down list.
BACnet/IP Setup Page

Users Screen
Passwords
See Chapter 11 for detailed information about security best practices. The PXM 2000
meter has two built-in accounts and an additional password for access to data deletion
functions from the meter front panel. You cannot change the name of any of the ac-
counts, but you may change the password.
• The Numeric Meter Password account provides access to configuration settings and
resets from the meter front panel. This can be configured only from this page. This
must be a four-digit password. The default is 5555, which disables the need for a
password to change configuration settings or resets. You must have admin privileges

Access Control
You can additionally limit access to the meter in the following ways:
• You can restrict either SNMP or Modbus access to the meter to a set of trusted IP
addresses or host names. You can have separate sets of trusted machines for either
setting.
• You can set the ports for Modbus, HTTP, or HTTPS.
• You can require the HTTPS for web access to the meter.
See Chapter 11 for detailed information about security best practices.
You can also post a System Use Notification. Such a notification may be required for me-
ters owned by branches of the U.S. Government and should provide privacy and security
notices consistent with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies,
regulations, standards, and guidance. Typically, such notices state that users are

accessing a U.S. Government information system, system usage may be monitored, and
unauthorized use of the system is prohibited. Refer to your system administration group
for guidance about exact wording.
Access Control

I/O Cards
The PXM 2000 meter supports the following types of option cards:
• Digital Output (Relay Contact) / Digital Input Card.
• Pulse Output (Solid State Relay Contacts) / Digital Input Card.
• 1 mA Output Card.
• 20 mA Output Card.
Electrical specifications and installation information for each card is covered in Chapter 7.
Digital Output (Relay Contact) / Digital Input Card

The Relay Output/Digital Input Option Card has:
• Two relay contact outputs for load switching.
• Two wet/dry contact sensing digital inputs.
• Accumulators in the software which count the transitions of the Inputs and Outputs.
A typical use of this card is to monitor the status of circuit breakers or relays.
Important: First use the Hardware Limits page found under the Triggers tab to set up
the limits you want to assign to an Output.
On the PXM 2260/2270/2280/2290 you can use the Hardware Limits to configure up to
eight limits. When configuring this page, keep the following in mind:
• Channel selects the electrical parameter through the Set Limit Channel dialog box.
The various electrical measurements from the meter are grouped under the categories
of Demand, Reading, and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
• The Enabled check boxes activate the Above and Below settings. When active, the
output is triggered for when that condition occurs. Once active, you can click any of
the Setpoint and Hysteresis fields and edit their contents.
Hardware Limits Edit Page
You can use the Digital Input page to configure the relay inputs. You can assign labels
for the open and closed states as well as the accumulator. You can also disable/enable
the accumulator as well as the set the state of the Trigger Input: Disabled, Open to
Close, Close to Open, or Any Transition.
You can use the digital inputs to accept pulses from gas or water meters. The divisor is
a compression factor you can use to keep the results within the meter’s ability to report.
Without the compression factor, the accumulator might roll over either too much or too
rapidly and lose history.
Digital Input Page
Use the Relay Outputs page to set the output behavior of the relays. The count reflects
the number of times the relay has energized. (You can define the labels, state names,
operating delays, and configure the accumulator. The Divisor is a compression factor for
the accumulator, and you can select 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, and 100000. For example,
if you choose a Divisor of 10, each time 10 state changes occur, the accumulator count
will increment by 1.
Relay Output Setup Page

Pulse Output (Solid State Relay Contacts) / Digital Input Card

This option card has:
• Four pulse outputs via solid state contacts.
• Four wet/dry contact sensing digital inputs.
Accumulators in the software count the pulses of the Inputs and Outputs (the accumula-
tors are shown on the I/O page. Typically, this card is used in a sub-metering application
where a pulse output is needed. The Input Accumulators (which perform the same
function as the inputs on the relay card) allow you to count the pulses from another
device, for example, a KYZ module or another meter. The Output Accumulators allow
you to count the pulses being output by the card.
For inputs, you can configure up to four inputs for your card, and assign a Label, Open
State Label, and Closed State Label for each. You can also set labels and other in-
formation for Accumulators for the Inputs. Triggers can be set as Disabled, Open to
Close, Close to Open, or on Any Transition.
Accumulators have both a compression factor and a device output ration setting. The
divisor is a compression factor for the accumulator, and you can select 1, 10, 100, 1000,
10000, and 100000. For example, if you choose a Divisor of 10, each time 10 state
changes occur, the accumulator count will increment by 1. The Accumulator Kt is the
output ratio from the device that is being input into the meter. For example, if you have a
KYZ module that is outputting a pulse every 1.8 kWh, you would set the Accumulator Kt
to be the value of the KYZ; in this case either 1.8 or a ratio of that number.
The Set Limit Channel dialog box associates a meter measure, like kW Demand or
Phase B current, with each of the outputs, and gets a pulse train whose rate reflects the
present value of that measure.
Digital Input Page
You can set up to four outputs for your card. You can define the labels, state names, and
configure the accumulator. You can also specify the phase source and measurement.
Accumulators have both a compression factor and a device output ration setting. The
divisor is a compression factor for the accumulator, and you can select 1, 10, 100, 1000,
10000, and 100000. For example, if you choose a Divisor of 10, each time 10 state
changes occur, the accumulator count will increment by 1. The Accumulator Kt is the
output ratio from the device that is being input into the meter. For example, if you have a
KYZ module that is outputting a pulse every 1.8 kWh, you would set the Accumulator Kt
to be the value of the KYZ; in this case either 1.8 or a ratio of that number.
Pulse Output
Option Cards - 0-1 mA Analog Output Card and 4-20 mA Output Card
The 0-1 mA Output Option Card is an analog communication card, which transmits a
standard, bidirectional 0-1 milliamp signal. Bidirectional is useful when you want the
output (-1 to 1 V) to reflect the sign of a measure that goes negative (like VAR). Although
you can configure offset-from-zero limits, normally you should set the high and low limits
to have the same absolute value to keep it symmetrical.
The 4-20 mA card transmits a standard, unidirectional 4-20 milliamp signal. An example
use of either card is in enabling the meter to communicate with an RTU (Remote Terminal
Unit).
Setup for the cards is almost identical. The only difference is that the 4-20 mA is unidi-
rectional.
The Analog Output page provides access to configuration parameters for each of the
card outputs. Each output can be assigned to one of any of the electrical parameters in
the Demand, Reading, or THD groups. You can set the Minimum and Maximum values
as well as enable Bidirectional Current (0-1 mA card only).

Securing the Power Xpert Meter
11 S ECURING THE POWER XPERT METER

This chapter outlines how to harden network security for the PXM 2000 Series meter.
The meter communicates via Ethernet and uses the network security mechanisms out-
lined in this chapter.
Inbound/Outbound TCP/IP Ports

Access to the PXM 2000 Series meter is restricted by ports and can be restricted by
trusted hosts. The following lists the ports open by default on the meter:
Port Protocol
20 (TCP) FTP Control
21 (TCP) FTP Data
80 (TCP) HTTP
161 (UDP) SNMP
162 (UDP) SNMP Trap
443 (TCP) HTTPS
502 (TCP) Modbus TCP
1900/7014 (TCP) UPnP
47808 (UDP) BACnet IP
You may change the port numbers for HTTP, HTTPS, Modbus TCP, and BACnet/IP as
outlined on Chapter 11.
Trusted Hosts
Trusted host restrictions can be applied to SNMP, Modbus TCP, and FTP. However,
trusted host restrictions are not applied to ping, HTTP, HTTPS, or other protocols.
Hardening Security for the PXM 2000 Series Meter

Eaton’s recommendations for hardening the meter, in decreasing order of importance, are
(see Chapter 11 for details on all):
• Change the Admin password from the default.
• Change the User password from the default.
• Change the Meter password from the default.
• Require HTTPS only.
• Change the SNMP v1 and v3 user names and passwords from their defaults (public,
private).
• Set the trusted host list for SNMP and Modbus TCP.

• Disable SNMP v1 if not needed. Use SNMP v3 only if you can.

• Disable SNMP v3 if not needed.
• Remove all the SNMP trap recipients if traps are not needed.
• Remove all e-mail recipients if e-mail is not needed.
• Change the default port for Modbus TCP.
• Change the default port for HTTP and HTTPS.
Passwords and Accounts

The PXM 2000 Series meter provides two user accounts for network access: a user
account and an admin account. The user account provides read-only access to all of
the pages in the web interface while the admin account provides that plus the ability to
modify any of the meter settings. Meter users should only be given access through the
user account. The admin account should be reserved for use by only those people who
are authorized to change meter settings.
The front panel account provides administrative access as well, and you can use it to
change any meter settings directly from the front panel. The password for this account is
also mentioned in the following table.
IMPORTANT! YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE PASSWORDS OF ALL ACCOUNTS
DURING THE COMMISSIONING PROCESS. WHEN CREATING NEW NETWORK
PASSWORDS, USE A COMBINATION OF LETTERS (MIXED CASE), NUMBERS,
AND SPECIAL CHARACTERS.
Default Passwords
The following are the factory default password values for the three meter accounts:
Acount Type User Name Default Password Description
Network user user Can access and
view all web pages
on the meter.
Network admin admin Can access and

view all web pages
as well as change
all settings for the
meter.
Front Panel not applicable 5555 This password
disables password
checking for the
front panel. Unless
this is changed,
anyone with access
to the front panel
can change any
electrical parameters
for the meter.
To change the passwords via the web interface:

1. Access the meter home page. You may be challenged for the admin account user
name and password.
2. Click the Settings tab.

3. Navigate to the Users > Passwords page.
4. Click the Edit Password button for each of the Network users and change the default
values. If you didn’t log in earlier, you must enter the admin account user name and
password.
5. You must enter the new password twice and both entries must match to change the
new password.
6. Click Save.
7. Click the Edit Numeric Password button and change the default four digit numeric
password.
8. You must enter the new four-digit password twice and both entries much match to
change the password.
9. Click Save.
User Setup Page for Changing Passwords
Recommended Meter Access Control Settings

The following are “best practice” recommendations for PowerXpert Meter security set-
tings. You should adopt these to harden the security of the meter.
To access the PXM 2000 Series security settings:
name and password.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. Navigate to the Users > Access Control page.
4. Click the Edit button.
5. If you did not log in earlier, you must enter the admin account user name and pass-
word.
The following comprise Eaton’s recommendations for Access Control best practices:
Trusted IPs/hostnames separated by semi-colons(;)
If you are using SNMP or Modbus TCP, you should specify the IP addresses or host
names for one or more computers that are to be allowed access to the meter via SNMP
or Modbus TCP and then enable the trusted host feature for that protocol. This provides

an added measure of security. You should also audit this list periodically and ensure any
unused host names are removed.
Note: SNMP and Modbus/TCP-IP access is restricted to trusted host names by default;
therefore, an empty list of IP addresses/host names means that meter will not respond to
SNMP or Modbus/TCP-IP.
SNMP access restricted by IP/host name:
Restricting SNMP access to a set of trusted hosts is a best practice. As this is enabled
by default, Eaton strongly recommends that you leave this enabled.
Modbus/TCP-IP access restricted by IP/host name
Restricting Modbus access to a set of trusted hosts is a best practice. As this is enabled
by default, Eaton strongly recommends that you leave this enabled.
Modbus-TCP Port:
This is set to 502 by default. Changing this provides an added measure of security.
BACnet/IP restricted by IP/hostname:
Restricting BACnet/IP access to a set of trusted hosts is a best practice. As this is en-
abled by default, Eaton strongly recommends that you leave this enabled.
BACnet/IP Port:
FTP restricted by IP/hostname:
Restricting FTP access to a set of trusted hosts is a best practice. As this is enabled by
default, Eaton strongly recommends that you leave this enabled. Note that FTP access
is read-only.
HTTP Port:
Should you change this, users must append the port number (after a colon) to the meter
URL.
HTTPS Port:
Should you change this, users must append the port number (after a colon) to the meter
URL.
Require HTTPS:
Eaton strongly recommends that you enable this setting. When enabled, HTTP access
is disabled and all communications with the meter web server must be through HTTPS.
Note that HTTPS may provide slower performance loading web pages than HTTP.

Access Control Edit Page
SNMP Hardening
As noted in the previous section, you can specify a set of trusted hosts for SNMP. On the
SNMP setup page, you can disable one or both versions of the SNMP protocol (the older
version 1 or the more secure version 3). You should disable any version you are not us-
ing. We recommend using version 3 only if possible as this is more secure. You can also
set pass phrases for both the user and admin accounts for both versions of the SNMP
protocol.
You can specify a set of trap recipients by either IP address or host name. If you are not
using traps, clear these fields.
To access the PXM 2000 Series meter security settings:
name and password.
2. Click the Setup tab.
3. Navigate to the Comms > Ethernet/LAN Setup > SNMP Setup page.
5. If you didn’t log in earlier, you must enter the admin account user name and password.

SNMP Setup Edit Page
Accessible Folders
The PXM 2000 Series meter provides user documentation and SNMP MIB files through
its web UI. These documents are also available from the meter via a read-only user-
accessible folder. This is meant for convenient access to these publicly available files
for the PXM 2000 Series meter. This folder, and a description of its contents, are listed
below:
Folder Address Folder Contents
PXM_url_or_IP/docs User documentation and SNMP MIB files.
Example Contents of the docs Folder

E-mail Security
The PXM 2000 Series meter can be set to send e-mails whenever an alarm or event
occurs or an alarm is cleared. It can also be configured to send periodic status e-mails.
Eaton recommends that you should periodically examine this list and remove any e-mail
addresses that are no longer required.
To access the E-mail settings:
To access the PXM 2000 Series meter security settings:

Root Certificate Authority Installation
Improve the security of your Power Xpert Meter on the Web by installing a root certificate
authority (CA). A CA is a trusted third-party organization that issues digital certificates for
use with encrypted digital transactions. The digital certificate guarantees that the com-
pany holding a certificate is who it claims to be.
You can use the meter without installing a root CA (using http), but the transactions will
not be as secure as with the root CA (using https). The performance of the meter is not
impacted by using secure transactions.

Configuration Management
C CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT
This appendix covers:
• Backing up and restoring configuration settings
• Replacing a meter
• Monitoring changes to configuration settings.
• Restoring a meter to factory configuration settings (wiping out any undesired settings)
Backing Up and Restoring Your Configuration
You should save your current configuration settings to a file (in XML format), which can then be used in
case a problem develops and you must restore your meter configuration at a later time. Backing up your
configuration makes it easy to return to a working configuration or to install the correct configuration
in a replacement meter. After you have finalized the configuration for your meter, create a configuration
backup file and store this in a secure place.
The primary reason to create a backup of your working configuration is so that you can easily
restore these settings should they be unintentionally changed either by a user or hardware fault.
This is also a handy feature if you’re setting up multiple meters with either the same or similar
settings. You can set up one meter, download the configuration file to your local computer, and
then upload that same configuration file to other meters. Note that network settings are part of
the backup, so if you upload a configuration file to another meter you must adjust its network
settings appropriately.
Backup files are downloaded to your browser’s default download folder. After creating a backup
file, you should archive this in a safe location.
To download the current configuration file:
1. Click Setup.
2. Expand Meter Setup & Commissioning.
3. Click Save/Restore Settings.
4. Click the Save and Restore Configuration button.
5. When prompted, type the admin account User Name and Password.
6. Click the Save meter configuration button.
7. Click OK.
To upload a configuration file to a meter:
Click Setup.
1. Expand Meter Setup & Commissioning.
2. Click Save/Restore Settings.
3. Click the Browse button beside the Configuration file to restore field.
4. Select the configuration .xml file.
5. Click OK.

Save/Restore Configuration Page
Replacing a Meter
If you are replacing a meter, you can use the backup file for your meter’s configuration to con-
figure the new meter with the same settings as the meter it replaced (see the previous section).
While following the installation instructions in the Quick Start Guide, instead of manually configur-
ing the meter on the bench, use the previous meter’s configuration file to set the meter param-
eters.
Monitoring Changes to the Configuration

The system log shows system events, such as changes to settings, firmware updates, and meter
restarts. Each event carries a time-and-date stamp and a severity level. You can print the log
by clicking the Print button; however, the printout contains a screen image, not the entire log. To
print an entire log you may need to use the scroll bar to reposition the log in the window and print
it in sections.
Note: You can tell who has made configuration changes to the meter from the log as it not only
logs changes but the IP address of the computer from which the changes were made.
System Log Page
C-2 IM02601001E www.eaton.com

Restoring the Meter to Factory Default Configuration
You can use the Gateway Card’s DIP switch to:

• Override the existing network settings and assign the local IP address 169.254.1.1.
• Reset the HTTP passwords.
• Reset return the meter to factory defaults.
To change DIP switch settings, you must remove the Gateway Card from the meter. The best
practice for this is to remove the meter to a workbench.
IMPORTANT! When the meter was originally installed, you should have recorded informa-
tion concerning the IP, subnet mask, and DNS servers. You will need this information to
reconfigure the meter.
Turn Power Off And Remove Current Sensing Conductors

Turn power off at the breaker feeding the meter. There may be more than one breaker. Use
local safety procedures such as “Lock out/ Tag out” to ensure the breaker(s) is not inadvertently
energized.
Ensure the high power connections on the meter are de-energized.
• Current sensing wires may be connected directly to the load by simply passing the current
carrying conductors (load or Current Transformers) directly through the meter. There is no
physical connection to the meter.
• Current sensing wires may be connected directly to the meter by attaching the current carrying
conductors to “current gills” or quick connect terminals on the meter.
Then remove or disconnect the current sensing wires from the meter.
m Warning!
Use caution to ensure the current through the CTs is off or suitable protection is in place to pre-
vent contact with the leads from the CT.
Ensure the control or logic power to the meter is de-energized. The voltage at these terminals is
the local AC voltage.
Disconnect power connections, CTs, and Modbus

1. Remove the large 13 position connector on the back of the meter.
Removing this connector will remove power to the meter. The Gateway Card is not designed
to be hot-pluggable (removed/installed with power on).
If an extra 13 position connector is not available, make note of where the wires are con-
nected to the 13 pin connector. You will need this information when re-connecting the wires.
Then remove the wires from the 13 position connector and replace the connector into the
meter.
2. Remove the six position Modbus connector (if used).
3. Remove the Ethernet cable (if connected).

When removing the meter keep the mounting hardware (screws, washers, etc.) in a safe place for
use when re-installing the meter.
1. For ANSI installations remove the four nuts and washers.
2. Move the meter to a workbench.
Resetting Configuration Settings
m Caution!
Use local electrostatic discharge protection or touch a suitably grounded metal surface to
discharge any static electrical charge. Failure to follow these guidelines could cause dam-
age to the Gateway Card.
1. Remove the two Gateway Card retaining screws and retain these for later use.
2. Remove the Gateway Card from meter slot 2.
3. Locate the DIP switch array (shown in the following figure) Move switch 6 to the ON posi-
tion.

5. Insert the Gateway Card into meter slot 2 using the meter’s built-in card guides. Use care to
correctly locate the card in the guides. An incorrectly installed card may be damaged or may
damage the meter. Slide the card carefully into the meter until it stops. Gently push on the
card until it “clicks” into place.
6. Attach the power cord. If an AUX power cord was assembled using a spare 13 position con-
nector then insert the connector into the socket. Otherwise connect GND, L(+) and N(-) to
the 13 position connector as indicated in the figure on page 4-7.
7. Apply power to the power cord.
8. Watch the lights on the back of the Gateway Card. They should all turn off for a few seconds
and then the right (Status) and the left (Power) lights should be illuminated to indicate the
card has power and has started correctly. The card has now been returned to its factory
configuration
Configuring the Meter

1. Remove power from the meter.
2. Remove the Gateway Card from meter slot 2
3. Locate the DIP switch array. Return switch 6 back to the OFF position.
4. Insert the Gateway Card into meter slot 2 using the meter’s built-in card guides. Again, use
care to correctly locate the card in the guides. An incorrectly installed card may be damaged
or may damage the meter. Slide the card carefully into the meter until it stops. Gently push
on the card until it “clicks” into place.
5. Secure the card by replacing the screws removed while removing the cover.
6. Connect the building Ethernet cable to the jack on the Gateway Card.
7. If in use, connect the Modbus connector (6 position connector) that is attached to the Mod-
bus network.
8. Attach the power cord. If an AUX power cord was assembled using a spare 13 position con-
nector then insert the connector into the socket. Otherwise connect GND, L(+) and N(-) to
the 13 position connector.
9. Apply power to the power cord.
There are four lights (LEDs) on the Gateway Card labeled Status, DHCP, Ident, and Power.
When power is applied all the lights should be off for a few seconds and then the top (Status) and
bottom (Power) lights should illuminate. This indicates the card has power and is running.
There are two lights (LEDs) located on the Ethernet cable jack. If the Ethernet cable has an ac-
tive Ethernet connection the light labeled Act may be flickering. The light labeled 100 will be lit if
the Ethernet connection is active at 100 Mbps.
Configuring the Gateway Card Network Settings

The Network PC requires a web browser.See the Power Expert Meter 2000 User and Installation
Guide for additional information.
An Ethernet connection is used for configuring the meter’s gateway card communication settings
via a web browser. You may need to contact your network administrator for some network and
configuration information. In preparation, you will need to decide if the meter will be manually as-
signed a fixed (static) IP address or will be automatically assigned a fixed IP address by a DHCP
server somewhere on the network.With either method the assigned network address must not
change once the meter has been deployed. Changing the IP address will cause loss of commu-
nication until the associated client PCs change the corresponding meter’s IP addresses.
Discuss with your network administrator whether you should manually configure the meter with an
assigned IP address or whether the DHCP server will assign one. For the DHCP server to pro-
vide a fixed IP address, your network administrator will need to know the MAC address assigned
to the meter.
Checking Gateway Card Indicators

First, ensure power is applied to the meter.
Location of Gateway Card
There are four indicator LEDs on the Gateway Card labeled: Status, DHCP, Ident, and Power.
When power is first applied all the lights should be off for a few seconds and then the Power light
will illuminate. This indicates the card has power and is running.
Configuring the Meter’s Gateway Card for Network Accessibility
Configuring a Fixed IP Address for the Gateway Card using a local PC

Your network administrator provided an IP address, a subnet mask, and a default gateway (which
you entered in the previous section). This information must be entered into the Gateway Card us-
ing a local PC, such as a laptop.
This method requires a PC with the following:
• an Ethernet port
• an Ethernet cable (either straight-through or cross-over)
• one of the following web browsers -
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 11
• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox

• Edge
• Safari
To configure the Gateway Card:

1. Connect the PC to the Gateway Card through an Ethernet cable (either a straight though or
cross-over CAT 5 cable).
There are two green lights (LEDs) located on the gateway card’s Ethernet port. If the Ether-
net cable is connected to an active Ethernet port on the PC both lights should be illuminated
(the light labeled Act may be flickering reflecting network activity).
2. The card’s default Ethernet IP address is 192.168.1.1. Set the PC’s address to an address
on the same subnet, such as 192.168.1.100. To do this, use the following steps:
a. Click Window’s Start.
b. Then click Settings. Navigate to the Control Panel of your computer.
c. In the Control Panel, click Network Connections and right-click Local Area Connec-
tion. Select Properties from the shortcut menu.
d. Click the Properties button.
e. In the Properties dialog box, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties
button.
f. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, select Use the following IP ad-
dress and enter the following in the IP address field: 192.168.1.100
g. Click OK throughout the various dialog boxes.
3. Open the browser and type the IP address of the meter followed by the path “/ca.html” in the
address bar. For example: https://192.168.1.1/ca.html. Install the SSL Certificate found on
this page. For step by step instructions, see the User and Installation Manual, Section 11.
4. Launch your web browser and navigate to the following IP address: 192.168.1.1
If an information screen appears stating the certificate cannot be verified and asking if you
want to run anyway, select run.

5. Click the Settings button. The Settings page will appear.

6. Select the Comms tab.
Opening the Comms Tab
7. Expand the Ethernet/LAN Setup section.

Edit Button (on the right of the page)
You may be prompted to provide administrative credentials.

9. If you successfully logged in as admin you may now configure the card for the settings
specified by your network administrator. Refer to the previously recorded network settings.

You can also enter such optional information as the meter’s location, who to contact in case
of problems, etc.
10. When you’ve completed configuration, click the Save button.
The new IP address will take effect shortly after clicking Save. The Gateway Card will redi-
rect you to the new IP address and reload the Java applet. You can continue to configure the
meter after it is connected to your LAN.
Refer to the PXM 2000 Meter User’s Guide (IM02601001E) for additional configuration de-
tails.
11. Disconnect the Ethernet cable to the PC and connect the meter to the LAN.
Note: Remember to reconfigure the PC’s network settings for your LAN.
This concludes network configuration. You can now proceed to verify the IP address.
Verify the IP address

To check the IP address from the meter’s front panel:
1. If the meter has power the display should be showing normal data, such as voltage, current,
etc.
2. Push the menu button on the face of the meter. The main menu screen appears.
3. Push down repeatedly until IP blinks.
4. Push enter and the meter’s IP address appears, which should appear something like the
following:
010.2
22.05
1.066
In this example the IP address is 010.222.051.066. This should match the address the
network administrator provided for this meter.
5. Push menu to return to the main menu.
Network Access
Once the network IP address is known, most meter functions and configuration can be done via
the network. Use a networked client PC and web browser to navigate to the meter’s IP address.
See the meter’s complete user’s manual for additional information.
Restart the Gateway Card

The Gateway Card restart push-button switch is located behind the hole in the card face plate
closest to the LED labelled DHCP. This switch is used to restart just the Gateway Card (not the
meter) should it be necessary to recover from some abnormal condition.
Momentarily press the switch by pushing a small device into the hole to activate the switch.
