Ethernet wiring for BACnet IP, and Modbus TCP/IP and Ethernet EZ-7

These models are shipped with a board that allows for Ethernet communication via Modbus TCP/IP, BACnet IP or Ethernet EZ-7.

EZ-7 protocol is required when using the Energy Software.

Modbus TCP/IP and BACnet IP, and Ethernet EZ-7 connections are made to the RJ45 connection on the Ethernet board (Fig. 7

on page 7). No RS-485 daisy-chain capabilities exist with with these Ethernet connections.

MONITORING MULTIPLE LOADS WITH ONE CLASS 500 METER

The Class 500 Meter provides extreme flexibility by allowing additional sets of current sensors to be used in parallel so multiple

load locations can be monitored by one Class 500 Meter. This feature allows a totalized display readout of two or more load

circuits.

You may use parallel sensors to monitor specific breakers from one panel, specific breakers from more than one panel, two or

more complete panels, etc.

When paralleling current sensors, the following rules must be followed for accurate readings:

1. Current sensors must be installed in complete sets of three, with a maximum of three sensors installed in parallel per

phase.

2. All sensors used in parallel must be of the same amperage rating (i.e. 100 Amp, 200 Amp, etc.). The rating is determined

by the current rating (amperage) of the Class 500 Meter. For example, a 200 Amp Class 500 Meter must use extra sets of

200 Amp current sensors.

3. All locations being monitored must have the same power source. A 480 volt Class 500 Meter, for example, cannot monitor

a 208 volt load circuit nor can a Class 500 Meter monitor two 480 or 208 volt loads if they are from different originating

power sources or from different transformers.

4. The display readings must be multiplied by the number of sets of current sensors installed. For example, for Class 500

Meter reading of 5 KWH with 2 sets of currents sensors you will have 5 x 2 = 10 KWH (actual usage).
