Installation Guide Power Monitoring TM DRAFT Product Identification Number of Meters Supported Product Overview The E34 Series Multi-Circuit Meters are designed to measure the current, voltage and energy consumption of up to 14 3-phase circuits with a single board or up to 28 3-phase circuits with a 2-board configuration. The E34 uses commonly available split-core current sensors with 1/3 V (voltage-mode) outputs to cover a wide range of loads. Data is transmitted using an RS-485 Modbus protocol. E34E models also incorporate Ethernet, with support for BACNet IP, Modbus TCP and SNMP protocols and include BACnet MS/TP serial capability and a sturdy metal enclosure. The E34 comes pre-configured for 3-phase loads, but can easily be configured on site to accommodate any combination of 3-phase, 2-phase and single-phase loads, with or without Neutral current, using the channels available on the model selected (see table below). To configure the E34 for operation, use the NetConfig configuration software tool and the E3x Commissioning Guide on the USB drive provided.

E34 Series Installation Guide TM Safety Information Control system design must consider the potential failure modes of control paths and, for certain critical control functions, provide a means to acheive a safe state during and after a path failure. Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop and over-travel stop. For additional information about anticipated transmission delays or failures of the link, refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition). Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid-State Controls or its equivalent in your specic country, language, and/or location. LOSS OF CONTROL Ensure that the system will reach a safe state during and after a control path failure. Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions. Test the effect of transmission delays or failures of communication links. Each implementation of equipment using communication links must be individually and thoroughly tested for proper operation before placing it in service. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury. WARNING Provide a disconnect device to disconnect the meter from the supply source. Place this device in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator, and mark it as the disconnecting device. The disconnecting device shall meet the relevant requirements of IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-3 and shall be suitable for the application. In the US and Canada, disconnecting fuse holders can be used. Provide overcurrent protection and disconnecting device for supply conductors with approved current limiting devices suitable for protecting the wiring.

E34 Series Installation Guide TM The E34 provides several types of measurements that give a comprehensive view of power consumption for every load on the panel (the table below shows which measurements are offered on each model): • Real-time measurements: A live and up-to-date view of present power levels and the factors that affect them. • Demand measurements: Averages of values measured over a specified time interval. The time interval (typically 15 minutes) can be set from 10 seconds to more than a day. The demand calculation can be configured to use single intervals or the sliding average of up to six sub-intervals. Demand measurements are useful for tracking or graphing load levels over time to correlate with total energy consumption. • Historic maximum measurements: These measurements store the largest value recorded for a specific measurement since the last time they were cleared. They are useful for identifying peak levels critical to equipment sizing or demand limits in utility agreements. • Accumulated energy measurements: Ongoing totals of cumulative energy used since the last time the value was cleared. Energy values provide the informational basis for billing, cost allocation, carbon offset, BTU equivalent calculations, and other applications of overall energy use. • Energy snapshots: Energy totals that only change when the demand intervals are updated. They are samples of the free-running energy accumulators at the end of each demand interval, as configured by the user. These provide energy readings that are easily correlated to the demand values to simplify the tasks of sub-billing and cost allocation. • Alarms: Informs of excessively high or low current on each branch and aux channel. The user can set two high-level and two low-level thresholds, and a delay time for latching alarms. Alarms are reported as both non-latched events and latched events. Non-latching alarms are active while the current exceeds the threshold, but go inactive if the current returns to a level within the specific thresholds. Latching alarms become active when the current exceeds the threshold for a time period greater than the specified delay and remain active until they are cleared remotely. • Alarm status can be polled via Modbus. Advanced Features - The E34 also supports a number of advanced features. Some are always active, and others are configured manually via Modbus register 62017). For models with 42 channels or more, these features are configured independently for each panel. • Logical meter support: The E34 can be configured to map any set of 1, 2 or 3 channels that are adjacent in the panel to a logical meter, referred to in the point map as a logical circuit, that provides accurate multi-phase measurement totals. Map these logical circuits by writing the desired logical circuit number into a set of registers/data objects provided for each branch and aux channel (per panel). • The channels assigned to each logical circuit must be adjacent in the panel (for example, channels 5, 6 and 7), but there are no limitations on where those adjacent channels are aligned in the panel (any position where a multi-phase breaker can be installed). This functionality is always active, but a user selection affects how the data can be accessed via Modbus. Measurement data via Modbus for logical circuits is presented in two ways: arranged either by logical circuit number (looks more like a collection of individual meters) or by measurement type (arranged similar to the single-phase data section of the point map). • Phase angle measurements: The E34 measures the phase angle of every voltage and current input and presents these measurements (in degrees) in additional data registers/objects. These values are used to verify that current inputs are assigned to the proper voltage phases and to help determine how power factor variations are influenced by current phase changes vs. harmonic distortion. Phase angle measurements are instantaneous and always active. • User CT phase assignment: By default, the E34 assigns each CT channel to voltage phases on a rotating sequence. The user can easily override the default phase assignments as needed to accommodate their specific application or miswiring of phases on installation. The explicit assignments set by the user are stored by the E34 in non-volatile memory. • Phase angle reference: The E34 measures the phase angle of every current and voltage input. The user can select whether the phase angles are stated relative to an absolute reference (the phase angle of voltage input V1) or relative to the voltage phase assigned to that specific current input channel. • Signed power: Users can configure the E34 to report power as a signed value indicating whether the power is currently being delivered (imported from the grid) or received (exported to the grid) for channels with generation sources or bi-directional (regenerative) loads. When signed power is disabled, the energy accumulators include all energy measured, regardless of direction. When signed power is enabled, the energy accumulators only include all energy delivered (imported from the grid). • Signed power factor: By default, the E34 reports power factor as an unsigned value. The user can set it to report as a signed value, where the sign indicates whether the current phase angle leads or lags the corresponding voltage phase. • Demand/snapshot time interval source: The E34 offers two mechanisms for driving the demand/snapshot time interval, an interval timer or an RTC (real-time clock). The legacy mode (default) uses an interval timer that does not need to be set to an absolute time. When using the interval timer the demand/snapshot interval can be set from Data OutputsNext >
