Schneider Electric METSEPM1200 PowerLogic PM1200 Power Meter

METSEPM1200 panel power meter with energy and demand and communication

The METSEPM1200 is a Schneider Electric product listed in the datasheet as: PM1200 power meter with energy and demand – with communication. The METSEPM1200 is a PowerLogic PM1200 panel-mounted power meter that measures electrical quantities, energy and demand, with a communication port. The datasheet marks it as discontinued. Seven Star LLC supplies the METSEPM1200 in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier based in Muscat.

Reading the reference: METSE is the PowerLogic prefix, PM1200 the model.

Technical specifications of the METSEPM1200

Measurement data of the METSEPM1200

Network frequency: 50/60 Hz. Communication protocols: Modbus 19.2 kbauds. Display: LED. Resolution: 3 lines with 4 digits.

The meter measures voltage, current, power and energy. See the datasheet for accuracy and display.

Replacement and network use of the METSEPM1200

Confirm the successor, such as PM2100 or PM5000 series. Communicate via the port to a SCADA or energy system.

The datasheet downloaded for this page carries lifecycle notices: Discontinued on: Jan 23, 2021. For a plant that already runs this reference that makes the METSEPM1200 a spare-and-replacement item, and it is worth fixing the stock level and the long-term successor plan at the same time. We can discuss compatible alternatives once we know the installation.

Typical applications of the METSEPM1200 in Oman and the GCC

In Oman and the GCC panel meters monitor feeders and motors.

Dimensions, environment and approvals of the METSEPM1200

For the METSEPM1200, plan the mounting space from the datasheet: 96 mm (W) x 96 mm (H) x Embedded : 80 mm (D). The METSEPM1200 weighs 0.4 kg. Mounting, derating and enclosure choices follow the environmental data below, which should be compared with the actual panel temperature and the dust and humidity of the site in Oman and the GCC.

Ambient temperature limits in the datasheet: -25 to 70 °C. Relative humidity: 5 to 95 %. Ingress protection: IP51 front face: conforming to IEC 60529; IP40 back: conforming to IEC 60529. Operating altitude: 0 to 2000 m. Standards listed: IEC 62053-21; IEC 62052-11.

Panel power meters are valued for the data they give over years, so the set-up of the METSEPM1200 is important. Enter the CT and VT ratios correctly at commissioning, because an error here multiplies through every reading; check by comparing with a clamp meter. Where energy is used for cost allocation, record the meter serial number and the date of installation so that readings can be traced. The communication port allows the meter to send data to a SCADA or energy-management system; use the register map from the manual to choose the values to collect, such as current, power factor, kWh and demand. As the datasheet shows the reference as discontinued, plan for a successor from the PowerLogic range; the front-panel cut-out and CT connections need to be compared before replacement. Keep a spare if the meter is used for billing. If the meter feeds a building or energy management system, agree on the polling interval and the registers with the system integrator before commissioning; polling too fast can load a serial link, and polling too slowly loses short demand peaks. Keep a table of ratios, wiring mode and communication settings on the cabinet door or in the panel documentation, so a replacement meter can be configured in minutes. Where several feeders are metered, use a consistent naming scheme for the meter addresses.

Information to send with an RFQ for the METSEPM1200

• Full reference and quantity required
• Existing equipment, panel or rack it must fit
• Supply voltage, load or signal details of the application
• Required delivery location and timing
• Whether a spare, a replacement or a new installation

Site conditions in Oman for the METSEPM1200

Electrical rooms and outdoor panels in the Gulf often operate well above the 25 °C reference temperature used in many catalogues. Before you finalise the METSEPM1200, compare the expected panel temperature with the operating range and any output derating stated in the manufacturer documentation, and leave the recommended clearance above and below the device for convection. Supply quality also varies between sites, so confirm the input voltage range, frequency and any requirements for protection on the supply side.

Where the device feeds or monitors critical loads, plan how faults will be signalled to the control system and how a replacement can be installed quickly. Keeping one spare METSEPM1200 per site and recording its settings helps maintenance teams in Oman restore service with minimum downtime.
