3300 ACM Installation and Operation Manual Power Measurement Ltd.
Environmental Conditions
The primary concern in installing the 3300 ACM should be
the environment. The 3300 ACM should be mounted in a
dry, dirt free location away from heat sources and very high
electric fields. To operate properly and effectively, environ-
mental conditions for both the 3300 ACM display and base
modules should fall within the guidelines listed in Figure
2.1.1.
The 3300 ACM base module should be separated from other
equipment and plant walls to allow for convection cooling,
which draws a vertical column of air upward over the device.
This cooling air must not exceed +70oC (158oF) at any point
immediately below the base module.

THREE PHASE WYE 347/600 VAC, the 3300 ACM can be used for direct sensing
(STAR) SYSTEMS of each phase, without the need for PTs.
Figures 2.5.4a to 2.5.4d provide wiring diagrams for 4 and 3 The wiring diagram for these voltage ranges is shown in

For a 4 wire Wye system, the 3300 ACM senses the line-to-
neutral (or ground) voltage of each phase and current of
each phase, making for an equivalent 3 element metering

download of firmware data into the on-board program
memory inside the unit.

APPENDIX D
3300 ACM MODEL/ORDERING INFORMATION
NOTE
In situations where the power supply to the 3300 ACM might be unstable, the P120DC or P240DC power
supply option should be used. These power supplies have much better immunity to power disturbances than
the standard linear power supply provided by the basic model or P240 option. Potentially unstable power
conditions include situations where:
1) there are frequent power disturbances or interruptions
2) the 3300 ACM is powered from a genset
3) the frequency can vary outside the specified limits of the basic model power supply or P240 option power

4. If RS-485 communication does not work:
b) confirm that the G terminal is connected directly to
ground. a) check that the baud rate of the host computer/PLC
is the same as that of the 3300 ACM.
c) check the display cable connection between the
display module and the base module. b) check that the COM MODE parameter is set to RS-
485 (not KWH PULSE).
d) disconnect the cable connection between the display
module momentarily, then reconnect. c) check that the number of data bits is set to 8, with
one stop bit and no parity.
If the above steps do not solve the problem, perform the
following: d) check that the RS-232C to RS-485 Converter is
configured correctly and that it is passing data.

Similarly, 3300 ACMs equipped with firm-

absence of the special Page 0 Register 03 indi-
cates that regular results are being returned

NOTES
1. There is no requirement to specify all registers, or to assign them in any particular order. For example, if you wish to change only the Amp scale, a packet
may be sent with only that constant.
2. A write to a protected Read/Write register requires that the password stored in the device be sent in the write packet or the write command will be ignored.
For a write to an unprotected Read/Write register the password is not required. At present, all 3300 registers are protected.
3. The device responds with an acknowledge packet. If all registers were successfully written to the device will respond with 0xFFH in the Ack/Nack byte
otherwise it will respond with 0x00H in the Ack/Nack byte.
