INTRODUCTION
PowerScout meters monitor the voltage, current, power, energy, and many other electrical parameters
on single- and three-phase electrical systems. A PowerScout meter uses direct connections to each
phase of the voltage, and uses current transformers to monitor each phase of the current. Information
on energy use, demand, power factor, line frequency, and more are derived from the voltage and
current inputs.
The communications interface to the meters is an RS-485 serial or Ethernet connection that uses the
BACnet Master Slave Token Passing (MS/TP) protocol or Modbus protocol for sending commands and
retrieving data. A separate remote terminal unit (RTU), Data Logger, or Building Management and
Control System is usually connected to the PowerScout to provide data recording and trend logging plus
a human interface or display.

The PowerScout 3037 is light-weight and
compact enough to mount within an electrical
panel. It is used for long-term monitoring of
electrical systems.
Up to 127 PowerScout 3037 serial meters may be
connected to a single BACnet MS/TP network for
monitoring and recording power usage at
multiple locations within a single site. Up to 247 serial meters may be connected to a Modbus RTU
network. You may connect as many Ethernet units as equal to the amount of available IP Addresses.
There is a configurable digital pulse output port on the PowerScout 3037 that can be used to output
kWh, kVARh, or kVAh pulses to external devices, or to toggle on and off to control a remote device or
relay.
PowerScout 3037 Optional Digital
Display
An optional visual display is available on the PS3037 which cycles through meter information and real-
time values of Volts, Amps, KW, KVA, KVAR, etc. See Appendix.
Unpacking the Unit
Your PowerScout meter comes with documents such as the Certificate of Calibration (COC) that has
information about the meter and is valuable for tech support. Be sure to set these documents aside in a
safe place when not in use.
If a Comm package was purchased as well, look for the ViewPoint software and the USB adapter. Verify
that all connectors are included (CT, voltage, comm, pulse).
