Configuration
The i-Sense performs simultaneous measurements on three (or six) voltage
channels. Typically, these will be the three Line-to-Line (LL) or three Line-to-
Neutral (LN) voltages of the three-phase AC mains. The i-Sense can also measure
single-phase or split single-phase systems. A few settings must be performed to
assure safe operation and to properly record the measurements.
Configure for your Nominal
Voltage Select your voltage and 3-wire or 4-wire settings, then configure as shown in
Table 1 on page 13 . If your voltage is not shown, contact Rockwell Automation.
All i-Sense channels will be configured for the same nominal voltage. Remove the
right-side cover to access the AC input terminals (two Phillips-head screws, top
and bottom). For 6-channel i-Sense models, the INPUT_1 and INPUT_2
terminal blocks must be configured identically.
It is important that the power supply jumper JP1 and the INPUT jumper wires
be connected correctly. Follow the instructions in Table 1 and Table 2 exactly.
Finally, connect to the i-Sense Management Console, as explained on page 9 , to
set your nominal voltage level.
In the U.S., common nominal service voltages are 480V and 208V 3-wire (LL)
three-phase, 277Y/480V and 120Y/208V 4-wire (LN) three-phase, and 120V
single-phase or 120/240V split-phase. If a Neutral (4th wire) is available, it
should be used.
Configure Communications
Settings The i-Sense is pre-configured for Ethernet-based communications; even so,
network settings may need to be entered to make connection to the Internet.
Additionally, if a telephone modem connection is desired, the Ethernet port is
initially used to enable that option (Refer to
Telephone Modem
Communications Setup on page 10 ).
An on-board Web server, the i-Sense Management Console is the interface for
quick configuration using your Web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari,
Chrome, etc.) application. To get started, either (1) connect directly from a
computer (PC) to the i-Sense using an Ethernet cross-over cable (or regular
Ethernet cable if the PC’s Network Interface Card supports Gigabit Ethernet)
cable (cross-over cable may be required with older PCs), or (2) connect the i-
Sense to a Local Area Network (LAN), as described on
page 7 .
