when the transformer temperature reaches 195C.
4 TVSS ALARM is triggered by the optional transient voltage suppression system.
5 XFMR OVERTEMP is triggered when the transformer temperature reaches 180C and latched on when
temperature reaches 195C.
6 ALARM LED is triggered by any fault condition from the power monitor or by an external dry contact.
This section describes the four different monitoring systems available for the Power Management Module2.
These monitoring systems are equipped with serial communication ports:
See Power Management Module2 Installation manual (9903986001) for a summary of the monitoring
system parameters.
The power meter is equipped with a large, back-lit LCD display. It can display up to five lines of
information plus a sixth row of menu options. The RS485 port is used for communications with a
monitoring and control system. This port can be daisy-chained to multiple devices.
Note: Each time you read press in this section, press and release the appropriate button
beneath the screen menu item. For example, if you are asked to Press PHASE, you would
press the button below the display PHASE menu.

The power meter stores alarm log data in nonvolatile memory. The size of the alarm log is fixed at 100
records. For a complete list of the available alarm configurations see PM800 Available Alarms by
Alarm Number.
When one or more alarm conditions occur, the alarm icon (see callout no. 2 below) appears in the
upper-right corner of the PM800 meter display, indicating that an alarm is active. If multiple alarms
with different priorities are active at the same time, the display shows the alarm message for the last
alarm that occurred.
The APC factory default alarm settings have a low priority level. If a low priority alarm occurs, the alarm
icon blinks only while the alarm is active. Once the alarm becomes inactive, the alarm icon disappears
from the display.
Note: Pressing any button will stop the alarm icon from blinking.

The wrench icon and the health status code displays when a health problem is detected. Error
codes appear as shown above. For example, code 3 is to set up the Date/Time. For other codes,
contact PowerLogic Technical Support. Go to www.powerlogic.com.
The PM800 stores the min/max values for the current month and previous month. After the end of each
month, the meter moves the current months min/max values into the previous months register space
and resets the current months min/max values.
The PMM2 can be ordered with the MCM present to monitor the power both on the input and output side
of the transformer. Output monitoring is standard and input monitoring is optional. Note that when the
PMM2 is used with the STS (PMM2 Plus configuration), the STS monitoring will provide input power
monitoring via its local display. For a PMM2 Ultra configuration, input monitoring is standard and output
monitoring is optional. Refer to the MCM8364 manual for operating and monitoring details. Go to
www.powerlogic.com.
Panelboard Main Circuit Breaker Option / Main Frame Distribution Monitoring Option
The optional MCM breaker monitoring displays the current only of the Panelboard Main Circuit Breakers
or Main Frame Distribution breakers. In the event that the current approaches the trip rating (factory set
current limit @ 80% of the CBs of 225A rating of the breaker), the monitor will alarm via the LED on
the Network Display. Panelboard Main Circuit Breaker Monitoring or Main Frame Monitoring can
warn the user when too much current is being drawn, helping to avoid overloading the circuits and
causing accidental tripping.
The first threshold is a warning alarm that will activate a yellow LED on the Network Display to
indicate current is approaching high levels; this is factory set at 75% of 20A.
The second threshold is factory set at 80% of 20A and will activate a red LED on the Network Display.
For changes to the default settings, this can be accomplished by three methods. First, use the System
Management Software (SMS) provided by SquareD. Second, use the P-node software available through
the Customer Support Center. Third, contact your certified APC service partner for site assistance.
Individual branch circuit currents are displayed on the LCD of the Network Display. Current data can
also be pulled via the serial port of the Branch Current Monitor. For PDA software contact the Customer
Support Center.
The CM4000 can be used in conjunction with the Branch Circuit Monitor (BCM) option, however it will
not be possible to receive local BCM alarms or locally view branch breaker current. This information can
be made available remotely via the BCMs serial interface, or by integrating the BCMs serial output onto
the CM4000 network. Both CM4000 and BCM data can be placed on an Ethernet network (see Ethernet
Communications Card (ECC) (Optional on CM4000) for details). Consult the CM4000 manual for
details; go to www.powerlogic.com.
DMMS-300 Monitor
The Electro Industries DMMS-300 is an option that can be used on the standard PMM2 offering.
This section presents the procedures to be used for initial startup of the PMM2, and the sequence to be
followed any time that the system is restarted after having been shut completely down with no power
applied to the system.
Initial Startup
After verifying the information in Checks Before Startup, proceed as follows:
At the minimum, use the monitor, if installed, to verify proper readings from all circuits.
The following preventive maintenance routines should be considered the minimum requirements. Your
installation and site may require additional preventive maintenance to assure optimal performance from
PMM2 and associated equipment. These routines should be performed twice a year.
The technician or electrician performing preventive maintenance on the PMM2 must read this manual
thoroughly and be familiar with the indicators, controls, and operation of the equipment.
WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock! For Plus and Ulta configurations, the PMM2
equipment receives power from more than one source. Disconnect all sources to this
equipment before servicing.
Caution: Isolate and de-energize the equipment for all maintenance operations.
Caution: Operation of the upstream circuit breaker(s) will cause power to be removed if it is
present and will cause power to be applied if it is not. Make sure that all loads are prepared
to have power removed (all critical circuits have been shut down), or circuits are safe for
power application (no maintenance procedures are being conducted and downstream circuit
breaker(s) are open and tagged) before upstream operation of the circuit breaker(s).
A. Ensure that the equipment is clean and free of loose dust, dirt, and debris. The exterior of the
enclosures can be cleaned with a mild solution of soap and water, lightly applied with a lint-free
cloth.
B. Inspect the air intake and exhaust plates and clean as required. Verify that air flows freely through the
equipment. Clean the air intake and exhaust plates, and the enclosure interior, with a vacuum cleaner.
C. Operate all circuit breaker(s) to verify that circuit breaker(s) function properly.
D. Verify that all system monitoring functions operate properly.
Four levels of replacement parts are available for the PMM2. These levels are designated A, B, C or
D. The level that you should keep on hand for your installation will vary depending on the type of
maintenance planned on site and the configuration of your PMM2. Having replacement parts on hand will
prevent unacceptable delays due to time involved obtaining spare parts during critical periods, such
as system startup.
Any items used during startup will be replaced by APC at no charge. Contact the Customer Support
Center to arrange for service and specific recommendations.
Level Description
A This level of replacement parts consists of consumable items, specifically power and control fuses. It is
recommended to have these items on hand during installation of the system, including startup.
B This level of replacement parts is recommended when the user can tolerate short duration system downtime
to obtain replacement parts in the event of a major system failure. This level of replacement parts consists
of consumable items, specifically fuses and the most critical printed-circuit assembly (PCA).
C This level of replacement parts is recommended when the user can tolerate only a minimum of downtime
in the event of a major system failure. This level of replacement parts consists of consumable items,
specifically fuses, and a set of critical printed-circuit assembly (PCA).
D This level of replacement parts is recommended when the user can tolerate only a minimum of downtime
in the event of a major system failure. This level of replacement parts consists of consumable items,
specifically fuses, and additional printed-circuit assembly (PCA).
The following is a list of the most frequent problems, their most likely cause, and the possible solutions
in the form of actions to be taken. In the event that the suggested solution does not solve the problem,
contact the Customer Support Center for assistance.
