Chapter 1: Installation and Initial Configuration

Controller Wiring to Meters

The PMC controller supports up to 70 power meters (PMM) OR eight

branch circuit meters (PMM+PMB) using daisy-chain wiring with

shielded cat 5 Ethernet cable. The wiring order of the modules and

controller is not important.
The PMMC controller supports 69 additional power meters (PMM), OR 7

additional branch circuit meters (PMM+PMB).
Note: Diagram shows PMC model. Wiring is the same for PMMC model,

except that the first PMM is built into the PMMC.

All cables shielded Cat-5, each cable:100m

max. length.

Switch MBT (terminator) ON for devices at ends

of daisy chain.

Switch MBT OFF for devices in middle of daisy

chain.

Assign each meter unique ID:



01-70: PMM without PMB



01-08: PMM with PMB
