Yokogawa 2493AC V or AMP - 3-in-1 AC Volt or Amp

The POWER SERIES Plus digital switchboard meter was developed by Yokogawa Corporation of America to provide our customers with a versatile AC digital power meter. The heart of our POWER SERIES Plus meter is a programmable ASIC Power Measurement Chip (PMC) which was jointly developed by the General Electric Company and Yokogawa Electric Corporation. This unique PMC capability will continue to expand into many new power measurement and control products offered by Yokogawa Corporation of America.

The design of the POWER SERIES Plus combines a high accuracy digital switchboard meter with transducer output which can be configured in the field by an end-user, or when installed in new electrical equipment by an OEM. It eliminates requirements for a large inventory of dedicated instruments, and provides flexibility when new panel designs or system upgrades require changes in instrument transformer ratings. Our rugged metal case fits standard panel cutouts for switchboard meters and makes it a perfect replacement for less versatile instruments. The RS-485 communications option allows up to 32meters to be networked together for remote monitoring and control. In addition, the POWER SERIES Plus can be set up and locked out for security via the remote communications option.

Up to Three Screen
The 2493 features three easy to read LED displays, minimum/maximum values at the touch of a button, scaling up to 1250:1 for potential transformers and 5000:1 for current transformers. Optional 0-1mA DC and 4-20mA DC analog out-puts are configurable by the user and RS485 communications option is available at no additional cost. The 2493 is also available with a wide choice of power supply options.

Highly Customizable
The POWER SERIES Plus can be configured for primary and secondary transformer inputs, legends, outputs and averaging function. At Yokogawa, we program each model according to the specified options required by the user. This minimizes the number of steps to set up the instrument at the job site or on the factory floor.

Each model is programmed only for the options selected, so there are no unnecessary menu items. If you select a Voltmeter without analog output, then set up will be limited to PT ratios, LED display, and average setting. All can be accomplished in less than one minute. If no transformer is required, the ratio entered for PT P and PT S is 1 (1:1).

Sturdy Construction
The POWER SERIES Plus is enclosed in a rugged steel case treated with zinc chromate to resist corrosion. The cover assembly and faceplate are constructed of high temperature polycarbonate material and have several gaskets which seal out dust and moisture from the front cover. The 26 position terminal board is a glass-filled polycarbonate material with #8 nickel-plated brass terminals inserted.

Set-up and Configuration
The new triple display POWER SERIESPlus has front panel pushbuttons which can be used for setting voltage and current inputs from instrument transformers, as well as analog outputs and a rolling average.The exact functions depend on the model options selected by the customer. For example: If you selected a 3 in 1 Voltmeter with no analog output, you would only need to set the PT ratio and average. If you are tied into a network with RS485, then you would also need to identify the network address and baud rate.

All set-up functions can be performed using the four buttons on the front panel (see below). You can also use the buttons to display the minimum and maximum readings and, on some models, to change from phase to phase.

All button operations begin with the Mode button. To see the Min or Max, push the Mode button and then the button of the reading you want to see - Min or Max. The values will display for 10 seconds before reverting to the normal display. If you want to reset the values, push the Min or Max button again before 10 seconds have passed.

If the model that you select can change between phases, it is done by pressing the Mode button first, and then the Next button. The display will switch to the next phase in the sequence. For example: A Volt-Amp-Hertz meter with 3P4W connections would cycle A-B-C-AB-BC-CA and then back to A. To view the configuration settings, press Mode twice (Mode-Mode) and then press Set. The first setting will be displayed. For a Triple Amp meter this setting will be the Current Transformer (Ct), for all other models this will be the Potential Transformer (Pt). To see the other settings, press Next. You can scroll through all the settings by pressing Next. To go back to normal operations, press Mode. To change the setting being shown, press Set. See the above paragraphs on the specific settings for details. Once a setting is changed it will display the next setting. At any point while changing settings, pressing Mode will exit without changing anything.
