4.5.3 Current Sensor Wiring

Once the current sensors are installed onto their appropriate phase conductors, you

can begin terminating the current sensors onto the meter. The current sensor wires

can be extended up to 500 feet for remote monitoring applications. To extend the

length of the wires, use #22 AWG twisted-pair wire with one white and one black wire.

The current sensor connection points are located at the bottom right of the meter. Each

sensor connects to two terminals, one labeled “WHT” for white and the other “BLK” for

black. Connect current sensor from phase A to terminal 1 and 2, current sensor from

phase B to terminal 3 and 4, current sensor from phase C to terminal 5 and 6; torque

screws to 2 in-lbs.

The terminal cover has breakable teeth to let the wires feed through; break the teeth as

needed, once completed replace the terminal cover and secure in place.

After all meter circuit wiring has been examined for correctness, power may be applied

to the meter. If the monitored circuit is under load, the arrow in the lower right corner of

the display will blink off and on. Very light loads will result in an extended blink time.

Use the meter’s built-in current sensor diagnostics to ensure proper orientation and

installation of the current sensors. In order to verify the orientation, there must be at

least 1% of the meter’s current rating (Amps) flowing in each of the conductors being

monitored.

Refer to Section 4.7.2, Current Sensor Diagnostics, for assistance in

troubleshooting these errors.
