Part # E-Mon Meters



Precautions The E-Mon D-Mon® Class 2000 meter is wired as a single-, dual- or

three-element unit that is used to monitor electric power to individual

loads after the utility meter. Installation must be performed by

qualified personnel and ONLY according to these instructions and

all applicable electrical codes. E-Mon and its representatives assume no

responsibility for damage or injury resulting from the improper

installation of this meter.

Check the rating and configuration on the meter label to ensure it is

suitable for the intended service. Meters listed for use on 120/208 volt

services cannot be used on 277/480 volt services, and vice versa.

Verify that the meter rating (amperage) is suitable for the intended load.

Compare the color of the arrows on the current sensor assembly to the

chart below to find the amperage of the current sensors.

Sensor Arrow Color Code Sensor Rating

Brown 100 Amp

Red 200 Amp

Yellow 400 Amp

Black 800 Amp

Blue 1600 Amp

Blue 3200 Amp

Mount the meter in the desired location using the mounting flanges

located on the top and bottom of the meter enclosure. This E-Mon D-

Mon meter model must be installed indoors, in an area that is free from moisture and extreme temperatures. (An optional outdoor

enclosure is available; contact E-Mon for details.)

Assemble and install the current sensors around the conductors that are

to be monitored.

NOTE:

The modular jacks located on the meter board are to be used

only in conjunction with E-Mon peripherals. The jacks contain

neutral-accessible circuits.

Take the following precautions during installation:

CAUTION!

Observe national and local electrical codes.

Part # E-Mon Meters



CAUTION!

This device contains a NiMH battery that must be disposed of

properly. Replacing it with the wrong type of battery can cause

an explosion. Only qualified personnel should service this

equipment.

� Reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire. Do not interconnect the

outputs of different Class 2 circuits.

� Do not rely on the xcm.10S as a final safety device.

� Make sure that the 24-VAC power wiring is connected to a

dedicated transformer. No other devices (including the outputs)

should be powered by the transformer connected to the xcm.10S.

� Do not ground the transformer for this module on the secondary

side.

� Make sure that the xcm.10S power cannot be switched off

accidentally. The xcm.10S requires continuous power for proper

operation.

Mounting Mounting is comparable for all devices.

NOTE:

Be sure to read all precautions and warnings prior to

performing any electrical work.

Class 2000 and 5000

Screws should be securely fastened to all flanges of each device to

ensure the device is safely attached to the wall or surface.

MMU

Use the following diagram to attach the different MMU models.

Typical Installation

Meter Terminal Block Connections

Current Sensor Connections

STEP 1: Connect the black and white leads from the current sensor

assembly to the meter terminal block. The current sensor leads can be

extended up to 2000 feet using #14-22 AWG wire and do not have to be

twisted (consult your local electrical codes for proper sizing). When

extending the sensor leads, be sure to note what color lead on the

extension is connected to the black lead from the sensor, and what color

lead on the extension is connected to the white lead from the sensor.

There is no hazardous voltage across the current sensor wires and there

will be no damage if the sensor wires are shorted together. When

connecting current sensor leads to the meter terminal block be sure that

the white wire is connected to the "W" terminal, and the black wire is

connected to the "B" terminal for that phase.

NOTE:

Refer to the Wiring Diagrams, for further information on

current sensor connections.

Part # E-Mon Meters



Voltage Connections

STEP 1: Verify that the voltage supplied to the meter is from the same

source as the loads being monitored by the current sensors. Connect the

line voltage input wires to the meter terminal block. (See the various

installation diagrams.)

NOTE:

LINE VOLTAGE INPUTS MUST CORRESPOND TO THE

SAME CONDUCTOR BEING MONITORED BY THE

CURRENT SENSOR INPUTS. THE CONFIGURATION

SHOWN MUST BE FOLLOWED OR INACCURATE

READINGS WILL RESULT.

These wires are normally #14 AWG, but consult your local electrical

codes for proper sizing. Voltage input conductors require protection; it is

recommended that in-line fuses with a one-amp rating be installed to

protect all phases. Do not connect the voltage wires to the unit while they

are live. Push Lexan shield down over meter terminal block. Apply

voltage to meter only after installation is complete.

IMPORTANT:

The line voltage and current sensor inputs must correspond. If

the phasing between the voltage and the current sensors does

not correspond, inaccurate readings will result.

NOTE:

Refer to Chapter 4, Wiring Diagrams, for further details.

NOTE:

The line voltage input may be taken from wherever it is most

convenient (lugs, another breaker, another subpanel, etc.) as

long as it is the same power source as the items being

monitored. Line voltage cannot be pulled from a subpanel

powered from a different transformer than the item(s) being

monitored.

Part # E-Mon Meters



NOTE:

Push the insulating cover down over the terminal block inside

the meter. Apply voltage to meter only after installation is

complete.

Interval Data Recorder

The IDR (Interval Data Recorder) is an energy data collection device.

Installation must be performed by qualified personnel only and must be

in accordance with local and national electrical codes. Novar and E-Mon

are not responsible for damage or injury from improper installation.

The IDR is contained within a NEMA 12 enclosure and is designed for

INDOOR USE ONLY, where ambient temperatures are between +32 and

+120 degrees Fahrenheit. The IDR must be located in an area that is

central to the meters connected to it.

IMPORTANT:

The E-Mon D-Mon® meter that is connected to meter jack #1

on the IDR must be within 100 feet from the IDR, as it supplies

low-voltage power to operate the IDR.

All other meters can be located up to 500 feet from the IDR.

Part # E-Mon Meters



NOTE:

The IDR with modular jacks is designed to operate with E-Mon

D-Mon meters only. Terminal input models can support the

monitoring of third-party metering equipment; contact E-Mon

for further information.

The IDR must be installed in a location according to these guidelines to

ensure continued safe, trouble-free operation.

• Do not install near sensitive radio communications

equipment or receiving antenna systems.

• Do not install near high-energy electrical fields such as

those produced by welding equipment or by high-power

electrical motors.

• Always install in an area that is dry, away from any

potential liquid or chemical splash hazards. Never install

electrical equipment in an area where flammable chemicals

or vapors are present..

• The IDR enclosure's door must be kept closed once

installed. Exposing the internal circuits to dust, dirt, fumes

or high humidity can damage the IDR.

NOTE:

All internal circuits are isolated from the AC line.

NOTE:

IDRs with modular jacks can be powered from either the first

E-Mon D-Mon meter or by an external power supply (requires

120VAC). IDRs with removable screw-type connectors require

an external power supply (provided).

IDRs are supplied with an ID letter for each group of 8 inputs to make

them compatible with the E-Mon EnergyTM software. Available choices

are: A-B, C-D, E-F, G-H, I-J, K-L, M-N, O-P, Q-R, S-T, U-V, W-X and

Y-Z. No other combinations are available. When mixing 8-point and 16-

point IDRs together, it may be necessary to jump up a letter in the

system. As an example, if you have 8-point IDRs labeled “A”, “B” and

“C”, the 16-point IDR to choose would be the E-F unit.

The IDR is available in three configurations.

Class 2000 with Logic One

When a Logic One executive is connected to a utility-provided pulse

meter, the Demand Meter Input may count 60 Hz electrical noise because

of electrical leakage in the utility-provided device. To eliminate this

noise, a 22mf/16-volt Tantalum capacitor has been wired to the EC.

Part # E-Mon Meters



The capacitor is connected to the terminals as shown in Figure 5. The

positive (+) lead of the capacitor is wired to Terminal 63 under Demand

Pulse Input and the other lead is wired to Terminal 61 under Outdoor

Temperature Sensor Input.

Figure 21. Wiring Logic One

Connect the Demand Meter contacts to Terminals 63 and 64.

NOTE:

If the capacitor is removed to make the connections, caution

must be used when it is reconnected. Tantalum capacitors are

polarity-sensitive and can be damaged if improperly installed.

Non-typical Installations

Subtractive The following is an example of Subtractive Metering using an extra set

of current sensors.

Figure 22. Subtractive

Part # E-Mon Meters



Figure 22. Subtractive connections

For each phase you will have two sets of current sensor wires. Join the

two white wires together in a splice (wire nuts, terminal block, etc.) and

bring one extension wire back to the white sensor input screw on the

terminal block in the meter. Do the same for the black wires and repeat

for each phase.

The extra set of current sensors is installed in a backwards direction. This

will subtract the usage of the breaker from the total usage seen by the

meter.

As with all situations where you are using more than one set of sensors

into one meter, all sets of sensors must be of the same amperage rating.

Phase correspondence must be maintained.

Multiple Loads Parallel Current Sensor Wiring Diagrams

Part # E-Mon Meters



Figure 24. Monitoring two three-phase loads

When reading the E-Mon D-Mon® meter, be sure to multiply the meter

reading by the number of sets of sensors in parallel.

Figure 25. Monitoring two two-phase loads

Part # E-Mon Meters



IMPORTANT:

Line voltage MUST be present at the A- & B-phase voltage

Monitoring two two-phase loads: terminals. (You cannot

bring power into A- & C-phase terminals only, or into B- & C-

phase terminals only.)

Shorting link MUST be installed on C-phase current sensor terminals.

Parallel Current Sensor Rules

The E-Mon D-Mon® Class 2000 meter provides extreme flexibility by

allowing additional sets of current sensors to be used in parallel so

multiple locations can be monitored by one meter. This feature allows a

totalized display from two or more loads.

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.

You may also monitor three-phase loads and single-phase loads for a

totalized reading, provided they are from the same power source.

When paralleling current sensors, the following rules must be followed

for accurate readings.

RULE 1: Current sensors must be installed in complete sets of three.

This is necessary even when paralleling poly-phase with single-phase

loads.

RULE 2: All sensors used in parallel must be of the same amperage

rating (e.g., all 100 amp or all 400 amp). The rating will be determined

by the current rating (amperage) of the meter. A 200-amp meter, for

example, must use extra sets of 200-amp current sensors.

RULE 3: All locations being monitored must have the same power

source. A 480-volt meter, for example cannot monitor a 208- volt load,

nor can a meter monitor two 480-volt loads if they are from a different

originating power source or from different transformers.

RULE 4: The meter reading shown on the display must be multiplied by

the number of sets of current sensors installed.

Example: A meter using 2 sets of current sensors, with a display reading

of 20....2 x 20 = 40....the actual usage is 40.

Part # E-Mon Meters



NOTE:

Sets of current sensors consist of three sensors, one per phase.

The multiplier only applies when extra sets of sensors are

installed on one meter.

If you are only using one set of three sensors, this multiplier DOES NOT

apply.

Breakout Within Panel

Figure 26. Breakout within panel

Part # E-Mon Meters



1. In this instance, there are 2 breakers that need to be separated out

from the panel. They could be for a single tenant or common

area loads, etc.

2. You will notice, the two A phase load wires both run through the

A phase sensor, both B phase load wires through the B phase

sensor and the same for the C phase.

3. Make sure the load wires are going the same direction through

the sensor.

4. When ordering, size the meters amperage for the combined

amperage of the phase with the largest load.

needed to be operational.

o 120 volt , 2-wire meter: deliver 120 volts to A phase voltage

terminal

o 277 volt, 2-wire meter: deliver 277 volts to A phase terminal

o 208/240 volt 3-wire meter: deliver 208 or 240 volts to A and B

phase voltage terminals

o 208 volt 3-phase meter: deliver 208 volts to A , B and C phase

voltage terminals

o 240 volt 3-phase delta meter:240 volts between phases- neutral is

not connected

o 480 volt 3-phase meter: deliver 480 volts to A, B and C phase

voltage terminals

o After the installer has verified proper voltage, he or she must

determine if the meter is functional.

o The step that is common to all the versions of Class 1000, 2000

and 4000 meters, is to disconnect all the current sensors wires

from the meter.

o Before removing the sensor wires, be sure they are labeled

properly so they can be put back into the correct connection

point when the testing is finished.

o The next step in the test varies somewhat for the different

versions of meter. On the next page you will find this next step

outlined for each meter type.

Class 2000 demand series

Once the sensor wires are disconnected, locate the 2-prong test jumper

above the terminal block and short across the two prongs with a

screwdriver or wire. As long as you are shorting the test jumper, the

check sensor light on the power supply circuit board and the ‘check

sensor’ light on the display will remain on. This indicates the meter is

functional.

QAT Checklist

Instantaneous kW test Class 2000 kWh and demand meters

Tools needed for this test: Screwdriver, multi-meter, calculator,

paper and pencil

1. On the meter display circuit board on the inside of the board,

door, there is a row of small pushbuttons, below the large IC

display chip. The second button from the left is the CPU Reset

button. Pressing this button will show the amperage rating of the

meter on the display. Verify that the amperage rating of the

meter matches the amperage rating of the sensors connected to

the meter. Pressing this button will not reset the kWh or kW

readings.

2. Check for the installation error indicators: if either the ‘Check

Sensor’ light inside the meter or the ‘Check Sensor’ icon on the

display is visible, it is likely the meter is installed incorrectly.

Part # E-Mon Meters



Follow the procedure below to verify.

3. On the circuit board on the inside of the meter door, below the

display, there is a row of small buttons. The third button from the

left toggles on the instantaneous kW on the display. Press this

button. The instantaneous kW will show up on the screen, and

the reading will stabilize after a few seconds. Record the kW

reading.

4. Measure each phases current sensor voltage at the input screws,

(range is 0~2 volts), record the three voltages and then add them

together. This number is the Current sensor voltage total, and

will be used in subsequent steps in this test.

5. Perform the calculations shown below. They will result in the

Calculated instantaneous kW. Compare this figure to the

Measured instantaneous kW. If the two figures are within 2 kW,

the meter is installed correctly.

6. If the measured kW is approximately 1/3 low, check for an open

current sensor wire. If it is roughly 2/3 low check for a phasing

error.

Troubleshooting

Class 2000 Demand Meter

Q. How do I figure out if my meter is a kWh or a kWh/demand meter?

A. Your meter has the demand option if its model number ends in “D”.

Q. When providing line voltage to the E-Mon D-Mon® meter, can I tap

off the same breaker I am monitoring?

A. Yes, the voltage can be pulled off the same breaker being monitored.

The meter draws .025 amps, so the load from the meter will have

minimal affect on your readings. (Refer to proper fusing instructions.)

Q. Can the meter line voltage wires be run in the same conduit as the

current sensor leads?

A. Yes, there will be no effect on the meter if the sensor leads and the

meter line voltage wires are run in the same conduit.

Part # E-Mon Meters



Q. What size wire do I use for the line voltage leads?

A. These wires are normally #14 AWG, but be sure to check your local

electrical codes for proper sizing.

Q. What size wire do I use to extend the current sensor leads?

A. These wires are normally 14-22 AWG wire, but consult your local

electrical codes for proper sizing. The sensor wires do not have to be

twisted, and can be extended up to 2000 feet.

Q. The load I need to monitor has parallel feeds. How do I install the

sensors for this application?

A. There are two ways to monitor parallel feeds. The first (and easiest)

way is to clamp the sensors around all feed wires for that phase; if the

core supplied with your meter is not large enough, contact your local

distributor and ask them to order a larger core size for your meter. The

second way is to clamp the sensor around one of the feed wires. When

you read the meter, the final reading must be multiplied by the number of

feed wires for each phase. For example, if you were using 6 conductors

in parallel per phase, you would clamp current sensors around one of the

conductors of each phase, take the reading from the display and multiply

it by six (6) for the parallel conductors. This result would be your total

kWh for the loads being monitored.

Q. I have two subpanels that I would like to monitor with one meter.

These subpanels are fed by different transformers in the building. Can I

parallel sensors and monitor both panels with one meter?

A. No. These panels cannot be monitored by one meter because they are

from different power sources. When you parallel current sensors, all

loads being monitored must be from the same voltage source.

Q. I have 5 breakers in one subpanel I would like to monitor with one

meter. Can this be done without having to parallel current sensors?

A. Yes. Simply run all the breaker wires through one set of current

sensors. Make sure all A-phase circuits are through the A-phase sensor,

and the same for phases B and C. The meter should be sized by the

highest amount of current being monitored by one sensor.

Q. I've gone through the troubleshooting guide and I still can't get my

meter to work. What should I do?

A. Contact Novar's technical department at ########## before

removing the meter. E-Mon's technical department will help you do

detailed troubleshooting of the meter installation in the field and assist

you in getting the meter up and running without you having to remove

and return the meter.

Q. How accurate are the E-Mon D-Mon meters?

A. E-Mon D-Mon meters are certified to ANSI C12.1 metering

standards. (+/-1% from 1-100% of the rated load.)

Part # E-Mon Meters



Q. What are the plugs inside the meter used for?

A. The plugs inside the meter are used to interface E-Mon D-Mon meters

with several available options, including pulse output, D/A output, high-

resolution displays and Automatic Meter Reading systems.

Q. How do I find the cost for kWh to bill my tenants?

A. Your local utility electric bill should list the cost per kWh; if it does

not, give your utility company a call and ask them the cost per kWh.

Q. I have an existing meter that I would like to interface with my energy

management system.

Can I field install the pulse output option into the E-Mon D-Mon meter?

Yes. Simply contact your local distributor and order the Pulser option.

Current Sensors Following is a list of diagnostic messages that may appear on the meter

display.

DIAGNOSTIC MESSAGES SHOULD NOT BE ON

CONTINUOUSLY WHEN THE METER IS INSTALLED PROPERLY

AND IS IN WORKING ORDER.

Line Voltage Diagnostics

The diagnostics program detects line voltage faults by displaying one of

two messages: *PHASE [2] or *PHASE [3]

*PHASE [2]

Indicates that the 3-phase line voltage is not hooked up in the proper

phase sequence. This message should never be seen on the display

continuously. The meter will not display correct electrical data in this

condition. The phase sequence problem must be remedied in order for

the meter to work properly.

*PHASE [3] Indicates that line voltage is missing on Phase B and/or Phase C. This

message will appear whenever the power on either Phase B or Phase C is

off. Screen 5 (Voltage per Phase) will also indicate a loss of line voltage.

Current Sensor Diagnostics

The load current must be at least 1% of the meter's rated load in order to

operate.

Current sensor diagnostics can detect:

1. Reversed current sensors

2. Incorrect phase correspondence

3. Unusually low power factor (0.642 or lower)

Two different sensor diagnostic messages are used: *SENSOR or *PH-

ANGLE

Part # E-Mon Meters



*SENSOR (ABC)

Used to detect reverse phasing of a current sensor. This message should

never be seen in normal operation of a properly installed meter.

*PH-ANGLE (ABC) Used to detect the swapping of current sensor phases. This message

could (in some rare cases) indicate an extremely low power factor

condition. This message may appear intermittently due to changes in line

conditions. It should never be on continuously.

NOTE:

If you have connected the current sensor to all three terminals

and the error message is still appearing, reverse the black and

white wires and repeat the previous steps until the correct

connection is found.

If the *SENSOR error message disappears you have found the correct

sensor connection; however, the current sensor was not installed properly

around the conductor, or the sensor wires were extended and not spliced

together correctly. Correct the sensor installation, reconnect the black

wire to the black terminal and the white wire to the white terminal on the

plug and reinstall the plug into the correct phase terminal for that current

sensor. The error message should disappear and the current sensor is now

installed properly.

If the *SENSOR message does not disappear at any time while trying all

3 inputs both ways, check the AC voltage output from the current sensor

between the black and white wires using an AC voltmeter. It will read

approximately zero volts indicating that the load current is very small (or

zero) or the current sensors are not secured properly (tight connection

between core halves or lead splices not secure).

Once the first current sensor is connected properly and the error message

disappears, repeat the previous procedure for the remaining two current

sensors. When all error messages have disappeared and all sensors are

installed correctly, the meter is operational.

The table below shows possible sensor connection errors that can be

detected and the error message displayed for each. In these conditions,

the current sensor wire pairs are tied to the correct inputs, but the

direction of at least one sensor is reversed as indicated. These are the

most common errors.

NOTE:

Underline denotes incorrect installation.

The table below shows connection errors in which two or three current

sensors are connected to the wrong inputs.
