PowerScout HD
INTRODUCTION
There are four meters in the PowerScout HD Series: the PowerScout 3 HD (PS3HD), the PowerScout 12
HD (PS12HD), the PowerScout 24 HD (PS24HD), and the PowerScout 48 HD (PS48HD). These meters
monitor the voltage, current, power, energy, and many other electrical parameters on single and three-
phase electrical systems. A PSHD meter uses direct connections to each phase of the voltage and current
transformers to monitor each phase of the current. Information on energy use, demand, power factor,
line frequency, and more are derived from these voltage and current inputs.
The PSHD meter is not meant to be a standalone energy recorder; rather, it is connected as a slave
device to a data logger, Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), or Building Management host network. The PSHD
meter communication interfaces include Ethernet (LAN) or RS-485 serial. BACnet MS/TP and Modbus
RTU are the two communication protocols that operate over an RS-485 serial network and BACnet IP
and Modbus TCP are supported over Ethernet. A USB port is also provided as the preferred connection
for on-site configuration and can be run concurrently with an RTU.
Unpacking the Unit
The PSHD can be ordered with optional product features which are identifiable on the part number
label.
