9.0 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. When providing line voltage to the meter, can I tap off of the same breaker I am
monitoring?
A. Yes, the voltage can be pulled from the same breaker being monitored.
Q. Can the meter’s line voltage wires be run in the same conduit as the sensor leads?
A. Yes, there will be no effect on the meter if the sensor leads and line voltage wires
are run in the same conduit.
Q. Can the meter communication wires and line voltage wires be run in the same
conduit?
A. It is NOT recommended to run these wires together due to noise concerns and their
effects on the communications signal integrity. Communication wires can be routed
separately using the 1/2” conduit port.
Q. How do I find the cost for kWh and kW to bill my tenants?
A. Your local utility bill should list the cost per kWh and kW. If not, simply call your utility
and ask them to provide you with the cost per kWh and kW.
Q. What size wire do I use for the line voltage leads?
A. These wires are normally #14 AWG, but be sure to consult your local electrical
codes for proper sizing requirements.
Q. What size wire should I use to extend the current sensor leads?
A. These wires are normally sized at #14-22 AWG, twisted pair arrangement. Consult
your local electrical codes for proper sizing requirements.
