3.2 Mounting
● Protect th e me ter f r o m te mp er at ur e s be l ow –30°C (-2 2 ° F) o r a bove 5 5° C
(13 1°F), excessive moisture, dust, salt spray, or other contamination, using
a NEMA rated enclosure if necessary. The meter requires an environment
no worse than pollution degree 2 (normally only non-conductive pollution;
occasionally, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation).
● The meter must b e inst alle d in an el ec tri cal s er vi ce pa nel, an e ncl osure,
or a limited access electrical room.
● Do not use the meter as a dr illin g guid e; the dr ill c huck c an da mage t he
screw terminals and metal shavings may fall into the connectors.
The meter has two mounting holes spaced 136.6 mm (5.375 in) apart (centerto- center). Thes e mounting ho les are nor mally obsc ured by the detac hable

3.3 Connect Voltage Terminals
3.3.1 Circuit Protection
The WattNode meter is considered “permanently connected equipment” and
requires a disconnect means (circuit breaker, switch, or disconnect) and overcurrent protection (fuse or circuit breaker).

nects, fuses, and/or circuit breakers is determined by the wire gauge, the mains
voltage, and the current interrupting rating required.
● The switch, disconnect, or circuit breaker must be as close as practicable
to the meter and must be easy to operate.
● Use circuit breakers or fuses rated for 20 amps or less.
● Use ganged circuit breakers when monitoring more than one line voltage.
● The circ uit breakers o r fuses must pr otect the mai ns terminal s labeled ØA, ØB, and ØC. If neut ral i s als o pr otec ted , the n th e overc ur rent p rot ec -
tion devic e must interr upt both neut ral and the un grounded c onducto rs
simultaneously.
● The circuit protection / disconnect system must meet IEC 60947- 1 and IEC
60947-3, as well as all national and local electrical codes.
3.3.2 Line Wiring
● Always disconnect power before connec ting the li ne voltag e inputs to
the meter.
● For the line voltage wires, CCS recommends 16 to 12 AWG stranded wire,
type THHN, MTW, or THWN, 600 V.
● Do not place more than one voltage wire in a screw terminal; use separate
wire nuts or terminal blocks if needed.
● Verif y t hat t he li ne vo lta ge s matc h th e lin e - to - li ne Ø- Ø and line-to- neutral
Ø-N values printed in the white box on the front label.
Connect each line voltage to the appropriate phase; also connect ground and
neutral (if applicable). The neutral connection “N“ is not required on delta models (3D-240, 3D-400, and 3D-480), but we recommend connecting it to ground
if neutral is not present.

When power is first applied, check that the LEDs behave normally: on models
with status LEDs, if you see them flashing red-green-red-green (see Figure 7),
the line voltage is too high for this model, so disconnect the power immediately!
3.3.3 Grounding

● “www” and “hhh” indicate the width and height in inches.
● “dddd” indicates the opening diameter of the loop for flexible Rog owski
CTs.
See the web artic le Selec ting Current Transformers for information on selecting appropriate current transformers (CTs).
● Do not use ra tio or cur rent output C Ts such as 1 amp or 5 amp output
models!
● See the CT datasheets for the maximum input current ratings.
● Be careful to match the CTs with the voltage phases. Make sure the ØA CT

tape to identify the CT leads.
● To minimize current measurement noise, avoid extending the CT wires,
especially in noisy environments. If it is necessary to extend the wires, use
twisted pair wire 22 to 14 AWG, rated for 300 V or 600 V (not less than the
service voltage) and shielded if possible.
● Find the source arrow or label “THIS SIDE TOWARD SOURCE” on the CT
and face/point toward the source of current.
● OPTIO NA L: if you se e spur ious r eading s on unus ed phas es, jum per th e
unused CT inp uts: for each unus ed CT, connect a shor t wire fro m the
terminal marked with a white dot to the terminal marked with a black dot.
To install the CTs, pass the conductor to be measured through the CT and connect the CT leads to the meter. Always remove power before disconnecting
any live con ducto rs. Put th e line cond uctors t hrough the CTs as shown in
Figure 1 above.
CTs are directional. If they are mounted backwards or with their white and black
wires swapped the measured power will be negative. The status LEDs indicate
negative measured power by flashing red.
Split-core CTs can be opened for installation around a conductor. A nylon cable
tie may be secured around the CT to prevent inadvertent opening.
3.4.1 CT Wiring
Connec t the w hite a nd bl ack CT w ire s to the m eter te rm inal s mar ked ØA CT,
ØB CT , and ØC CT (see Figure 1 above). Excess length may be trimmed from
the wires if desired. The current transformers connect to the six position black

order in wh ich the phas es are conn ected, as th e line voltage p hases must
match the current phases for accurate power measurement.
3.5 Connect the Output Signals
● The meter outputs are isolated from dangerous voltages, so you can con-
nect them at any time.
● If the outp ut wir ing i s near li ne volt age w ir ing, us e wire s or c abl es wit h a
300 V or 600 V rating (not less than the service voltage).
● If the outp ut w i ring is near b a r e c o n d u c to rs, it shoul d b e d o u bl e i n su la te d
or jacketed.
● You may install two wires into each screw terminal by twisting the wires to-
gether, inserting them into terminal, and securely tightening. Note: a loose
wire can disable an entire network section.
● Use twisted-pair cable (unshielded or shielded) to prevent interference.
