Product Description
The GE Multilin EPM 5100 Electronic Power Meter is a full-function electronic meter with
optional pulse initiation and communications features. The communications option
supports the ‘open-architecture’ Modbus protocol and can be easily installed in the field at
a later date. The EPM 5100 is available with the following mounting options:
• An industry-standard SI-compatible case to maintain drawout capability, allowing
for easy upgrade or retrofit from existing DS-63, DS-64, or DS-65
electromechanical watthour meters (case type unit).
• A light compact plastic enclosure for panel mounting (panel mount unit).
The EPM 5100 continuously monitors specified line characteristics and displays the desired
functions and calculated values on a two-line, alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD) on
the front panel. The meter samples each of the current and voltage inputs 480 times per
second, and the display is updated every three seconds.
