Model PR300
Power and Energy Meter
<Initial Setup Operations>

1. Set up the PR300 First

NOTE

If you change the phase and wire system and the voltage range, all parameters other than those related to RS-485 and Ethernet communications are
initialized (to factory-set values). Change the phase and wire system and the voltage range before setting parameters such as the VT and CT ratios.

1.1

Setting the Phase and Wire System

This section explains how to set the phase and wire system by taking as an example the case when a three-phase four-wire system is changed to a three-

phase three-wire system.

Thank you for purchasing the PR300.

This manual describes the setting procedures of phase and wire system, 

voltage range, VT ratio, and CT ratio of the PR300.  The electronic manual 

is

 

also provided in this manual. Read them along with this manual.  

To ensure correct use, be sure to read the PR300 Power and Energy Meter 

User's Manual (IM 77C01E01-01E) thoroughly before beginning operation.

Component Names and Functions

Power lamp (Green)

Phase Indication lamps (Red)

MAX and MIN lamps (Red)

Demand Alarm lamp (Red)

Pulse Output lamp (Green)

Phase and Wire System lamps (Green)

Input Range lamps (Green)

Measured Value display (Red)

Unit lamps (Red)

Lights up and remains lit when the PR300 is 

turned on and operating normally. Blinks (4 

times/second)  if  a  communication  error 

occurs,  and  continues  to  blink  until  the 

PR300 returns to normal.

DEMAND lamp (Red)

Lights up when the measured value of demand 

power or demand current is displayed. 

(Only  supported  for  a  PR300  with  the  demand 

measuring function.)

Light up to tell for which phase the voltage or 

current value is being measured.

Light  up  when  the  maximum  or  minimum 

measured value is displayed.

Operation keys

On  the  Measured  Value  screen,  this  key  is 

used,  for  example,  to  switch  the  display 

pattern. Also used to set parameters on the 

Parameter screen.

On the Measured Value screen, this key is used, for example, to 

switch the phase of voltage/current. Also used to set parameters 

on the Parameter screen.

This  key  is  used  to  start  or  stop  demand  measure-

ment. The lamp (green) in the key lights up in the de-

mand measurement.

On the Measured Value screen, this key is used, for example, 

to  move  from  one  digit  to  another  in  an  energy  reading. Also 

used to set parameters on the Parameter screen.

On the Measured Value screen, this key is used, for example, to show 

the  maximum/minimum  value.  Also  used  to  set  parameters  on  the 

Parameter screen.

Lights up if the demand value exceeds the demand alarm point at 

any point in time other than the demand alarm mask time.

Lights  up  when  the  output  is  turned  on  in  the  pulse  output 

mode and goes out when the output is turned off.

Communication lamp (Green)

Blinks  while  RS-485  or  Ethernet  communi-

cation is in progress.

The  phase  and  wire  system  option  set  in  the 

PR300 lights up.

The voltage range option set in the PR300 and 

the  current  range  (rated  input)  option  specified 

at the time of ordering light up.

Shows a measured value of power, energy, etc. 

Also shows a parameter symbol and its setpoint 

at the time of parameter setting.

Show  the  unit  symbol  of  a  measured  value  for 

each  measurement  item.  These  unit  symbols 

are shown in combination depending on the type 

of measured value.

Turn on the PR300.

Note

If single-phase three-wire system is selected, the voltage
range is fixed at 300V (between P0 and P1, P0 and P2). The
voltage range cannot be selected.

Three-phase four-wire system (2.5 element) can be used only

when the voltage is in a state of equilibrium. In addition, the
phase and wire system cannot be changed.
