4.0 METER INSTALLATION
4.1 Mounting the Meter
Using the appropriate sized mounting hardware, fasten the Green Class meter
enclosure to the selected mounting surface. The four mounting holes are centered
6.75” H x 4” W. The mounting hole spacing is identical for either the UL Type 1 or
NEMA 4X enclosure.
NOTE: Only the NEMA 4X enclosed unit is suitable for outdoor environmental condi-
tions. Units housed in UL Type 1 enclosures must only be installed in indoor
environments where it will not be affected by the elements, such as moisture
and extreme temperatures.
4.2 Main Power Board Connections
1. Install a temporary ground for ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection. With all
circuits de-energized, connect a temporary protective earth ground connection
for ESD protection. Prior to performing any unit wiring, be sure to discharge any
static on your person.
2. Install the Green Class Protective Earth Ground. Connect an earth ground wire
to the Green Class protective earth ground terminal screw located on the right
side of the line voltage terminal block. After installing the protective earth ground
wire, securely fasten the protective earth ground screw.
WARNING: Failure to attach the protective earth ground wire securely to the
enclosure creates a potential shock hazard. Do not operate the Green Class
meter without a protective earth ground connection securely installed.
3. Wire Entry.
a. Two openings exist on the unit enclosure, one for 1/2” conduit and one for 3/
4” conduit. The 3/4” conduit opening located on the bottom of the enclosure
is used to bring in MAINS Power (voltage lines to power meter) and current
sensor wiring. The 1/2” conduit opening located on the top of the enclosure
is used to interface low voltage signals, such as the IDR interface and isolated pulse output. (Outdoor enclosures equipped with one 3/4” conduit
opening on bottom of enclosure only.)
b. Route the appropriate cabling to and through the respective enclosure open-
ing. The conduit and fittings interfacing the enclosure entrances must be UL
listed and properly sized to the enclosure port diameter, The interfacing fitting must use a gasket seal ring to interface between the conduit fitting and
the enclosure entry point. After installing the conduit fitting and conduit, verify
that the conduit fittings are aligned properly to their respective enclosure
entrance ports and tightened securely to prevent moisture entry. VERIFY
that each conduit slip nut is securely tightened to its respective conduit fitting.
62-0415-01 8
GREEN CLASS METER
c. Outdoor applications require the use of the optional 4X enclosure. The same
principles outlined for indoor meter installations as defined in the aforementioned paragraph carry over and apply to outdoor installations with one
exception. This exception is that the conduit and fittings for outdoor installations require an outdoor material rating and approval for 4X applications.
4. Unit MAINS Wiring (Voltage Wiring Connections)
a. Remove the shield located over the phase A,B and C screw terminals on the
main power board. This shield can be removed by pulling back on the latch
on the right side of the shield and lifting up on the front. Wire each connection to the terminal block with stranded wire 14-12 AWG, rated at 600 VAC.
b. Strip back all wire insulation to expose between 1/4” and 3/8” of the copper
conductors. Gently twist each wire to prevent fraying. Insert the conductors
into their respective terminal block position and tighten down the terminal
block screw to securely fasten the conductor. The terminal block is clearly
labeled PHASE A, PHASE B, PHASE C and NEUTRAL.
c. Connect the NEUTRAL wire to the appropriate terminal block position.
NOTE: For Delta MAINS input wiring, DO NOT connect the NEUTRAL wire. Remove
the terminal block screw for this position.
d. Connect the AC mains power wires (Phase A, Phase B and Phase C) to their
respective positions as labeled on terminal block.Tighten the screws to 7 inlb of torque.
e. After all conductors are connected to their respective terminal block positions
and tightened down, verify that each terminal block screw is securely fastened by gently tugging on each conductor. Verify no conductor wires are
frayed or are shorting to adjacent terminal block positions.
5. External Switch Mechanism/In-Line Fuse Installation
a. To ensure a safe installation, the Green Class meter requires an external
switch mechanism, such as a circuit breaker, be installed on the Green Class
MAINS input wiring. The switch mechanism must be installed in close proximity to the meter and easily reachable for the operator. This device must
also be marked as the disconnecting device for the Green Class meter.
b. Install 1/10 Amp Slow Activation in line fuses with the suitable voltage rating
for each conductor phase at the MAINS input to the meter. The fuses must
be labeled to indicate voltage and current rating as well as element characteristics. The fuse element must be slow activating type.
6. Once the MAINS wiring is complete, replace the clear Lexan protective shield
over terminal block TB1 and close the enclosure front panel. Secure the enclosure cover using the locking mechanism. Activate the external circuit breaker or
equivalent switch to apply AC MAINS power to the unit.
7. The Green Class meter display should turn on and indicate total kWh accumulation reading.
NOTE: On demand meters the unit display, clock and other critical configuration
parameters will be reset once the unit installation and wiring is complete.

8. Using an AC Voltmeter, verify the input voltage readings are within the limits
specified below.
Meter Input Voltage
Configuration Nominal Voltage Limits (+/- 10%)
120/208V, 3 Ph, 4 Wire 120 VAC (L-N) 108 to 132 VAC
277/480V, 3 Ph, 4 Wire 277 VAC (L-N) 249 to 305 VAC
240V, 3 Ph, 3 Wire 240 VAC (L-L) 216 to 264 VAC
480V, 3 Ph, 3 Wire 480 VAC (L-L) 432 to 528 VAC
347/600V, 3 Ph, 4 Wire 347 VAC (L-N) 540 to 660 VAC
9. Remove power from the unit by de-energizing the external switch.
NOTE: For 3-Wire systems, the voltages are measured Phase to Phase. On 4-Wire
systems the voltages are measured Phase to Neutral.
4.3 Current Sensor Installation & Wiring
Once the AC voltages have been confirmed to be within acceptable limits, you are
ready to install the current sensors. The MAIN power board contains three header
connectors located at the bottom right of the board. The connectors are labeled A, B,
and C along with conductor color indication. This format must be followed in order for
the meter to function correctly.
The Green Class meter will be used with one of two basic types of current sensors:
a. Split-Core Current Sensor: This sensor opens so that it can be attached
around the circuit conductor being monitored without interrupting power.
Unless otherwise
specified, all Green Class meters are supplied with this sensor type.
b. Solid-Core Current Sensor: This sensor does not open and requires the
monitored conductor be removed from the circuit to install the current sensor.
This type is only supplied when specified at time of order.
NOTE: The unit serial label specifies if the unit is set up for split or solid core current
sensors. See ordering information for details.
Both types of current sensors output a 0-2 VAC signal proportional to the current being
measured.
The current sensors must be matched with the voltage phases. The A phase sensor
must be monitoring the same phase as the A phase voltage. B & C phase sensors
must also monitor the same phase as their respective voltage inputs.

SOURCE
4.3.1 Installing the Split-Core Current Sensor Assembly
Each phase being monitored will require one two-piece current sensor assembly.
Therefore, a three-phase meter will require three (3) assemblies. Open the two-piece
current sensor assembly by releasing the nylon clamp using a flat head screwdriver.
Fig. 3. Split-Core Current Sensor Assembly
1. Reassemble the current sensor assembly around the conductor(s) to be monitored. Ensure the current sensor halves marked “Load” are both facing the load
side of the conductor. The colored arrow will be on the source side of the conductor being monitored and MUST be pointed in a clockwise direction around
the conductor being monitored. Tighten the nylon clamp to complete the assembly.
Fig. 4. Arrow On The Current Sensor Assembly
IMPORTANT:
When looking from the source side of the conductor(s) being monitored, you
should see the arrow on the current sensor assembly. The arrow should be
pointing in a clockwise direction around the conductor(s) being monitored. If
the arrow is not positioned on the source side, inaccurate readings will result.
4.3.2 Installing the Solid-Core Current Sensor Assembly
The optional solid-core current sensors can be installed in the same applications as
the standard split-core units, however, the conductors that they are monitoring must
first be disconnected.
NOTE: Under no circumstances is this operation to take place without shutting off the
power to the conductor(s) being monitored.
11 62-0415-01
GREEN CLASS METER
With the power off, disconnect the conductor from its breaker or terminal. Slide the
solid-core current sensor over the conductor, making sure that the indicator on the
sensor is pointing in the direction of the load. After this is done, reconnect the
conductor and verify that it is properly installed.
Run the black and white wires from the solid-core current sensors and install them
according to the standard installation diagram. When this is completed, the power to
the monitored conductor can be turned back on.
Fig. 5. Solid-core Current Sensor
4.3.3 Current Sensor Wiring
Once all the current sensors are installed on their appropriate phase conductors, you
can begin terminating the current sensors on to the Green Class main power board.
The current sensor leads can be extended up to 2,000 feet (using #14-22 AWG wire)
for remote monitoring applications. Consult your local electrical codes for proper wire
sizing (#22 AWG twisted pair wire with a black and white conductor, rated for 600 VAC
recommended.)
The current sensor connection points are located on the bottom right of the main
power board. Three removable plugs exist, one for each current sensor phase input.
The header portions of the connectors are labeled A, B and C. Text on the plastic cover
of each of the connectors instruct you which terminal of the plug is for the white
conductor and which terminal is wired to the black conductor. Once each current
sensor is wired to its respective plug, insert each plug into the appropriate header.

Fig. 8. Main Board
The three-phase AC MAINS voltage wiring and the current sensor wiring must be
connected in the proper phase sequence. If there is a phase sequence error, the
display LCD will display a message ‘Check Sensor” in the upper right hand corner.
Additionally, LED D1, Check Sensor, will illuminate if there is a phasing error.
Verify that the AC MAINS voltage wires are all connected to the correct positions on
terminal block. Inspect the MAINS input wiring to verify each conductor is terminated
at the correct terminal block position. Using an AC voltmeter, measure the AC voltage
for each phase to neutral terminal and to the frame ground point.
62-0415-01 14
GREEN CLASS METER
Verify each current sensor by running at least 1% of the full scale rated current through
the conductor being monitored by each phase. (e.g. 2 amp load required for each
phase to perform sensor diagnostic procedures.)
- Verify that the current sensor white and black conductors are installed in the correct
header positions.
- Verify the current sensors are installed in the correct direction on the conductor being
monitored.
-Verify that the current sensor plugs are terminated in the correct header on the Main
Power Board.
If the error messages still haven’t been cleared, measure the AC voltage inputs across
the plug terminals of each current sensor, individually. Set the AC voltmeter to the 20
Volt scale. If a reading of zero volts is indicated on the voltmeter, check for an open
circuit. An open connection could exist at the plug terminals or at a splicing junction.
Also verify a tight connection exists between the core halves.
If error message is still appearing, contact E-Mon technical support at (800) 334- 3666
for further assistance.
4.6 Final Main Board Checks
Once the phase error has been corrected, the Display LCD “Check Sensor” error
should extinguish and the Main Power Board LED should extinguish.
15 62-0415-01
GREEN CLASS METER
5.0 MONITORING MULTIPLE LOADS WITH
ONE METER
The Green Class meter provides extreme flexibility by allowing additional sets of
current sensors to be used in parallel so that multiple load locations can be monitored
by one meter. This feature allows a totalized display readout from two or more load
circuits.
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.
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, with a maximum of
three sensors installed in parallel per phase.
Rule 2: All sensors used in parallel must be of the same amperage rating (i.e. 100
amp, 200 amp, etc.) The rating is determined by the current rating (amperage) of the
Green Class meter. For example, a 200 amp meter 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 cannot monitor a 208 volt load nor can a meter monitor two 480 or 208 volt loads
if they are from different originating power sources or from different transformers.
Rule 4: The display readings must be multiplied by the number of sets of current
sensors installed. E.g. meter reading of 5 kWh with 2 sets of current sensors....5 x 2 =
10 kWh (actual usage.)
NOTE: One set of current sensors equates to three sensors, one per phase. The
multiplier only applies when extra sets of current sensors are installed on one
meter. Therefore, if you are using only one set of three sensors (one per
phase) the multiplier is not required.

6.2 How to Read the kWh Meter
Fig. 13. Readings are displayed in whole numbers
The Green Class kWh meter displays readings in whole numbers, there are no
decimals.
To find the dollar cost for the power used by the load(s) being monitored, you must first
find out what the cost per kWh is in your area (this cost can be found on your utility
electric bill, or call your local utility and ask for their cost per kilowatt hour.) Simply
multiply the cost per kWh by the kWh reading from the E-Mon D-Mon meter. The
resultant figure is the dollar cost for power used by the load(s) being monitored by this
meter.
Example:
8-digit display reading 00000017
Cost per kWh from utility $0.12100
17 x $0.121 = $2.06
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING ONLY APPLIES TO METERS USING MORE THAN ONE
SET OF CURRENT SENSORS. For meters using parallel current sensors
you must multiply the kWh display reading by the number of sets of current
sensors installed.
Example: 250 (meter display reading) x 2 (sets of sensors in parallel) = 500 kWh 500
kWh x $0.121 (utility cost per kWh) = $60.50

7.2 How to Read the kWh/Demand Meter
Fig. 17. KWh Reading
The Green Class kWh meter displays readings in whole numbers, there are no
decimals.
To find the dollar cost for the power used by the load(s) being monitored, you must first
find out what the cost per kWh is in your area (this cost can be found on your utility
electric bill, or call your local utility and ask for their cost per kilowatt hour.) Simply
multiply the cost per kWh by the kWh reading from the E-Mon D-Mon meter. The
resultant figure is the dollar cost for power used by the load(s) being monitored by this
meter.
Example:
8-digit display reading 00000017
Cost per kWh from utility $0.12100
17 x $0.121 = $2.06
Fig. 18. KW (Demand) Reading
The kW (Demand) reading is the peak usage over a specified time period (15 minute
standard, 30 minute optional). While kWh costs are interpreted as cents, Kilowatt costs
are usually represented in dollars, and interpretation of demand costs are based on
your utility’s tariff and rate structures. You will need to contact your utility to see how
your utility structures their kilowatt demand charges to ensure proper allocation of
costs utilizing data from the E-Mon D-Mon meter.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING ONLY APPLIES TO METERS USING MORE THAN ONE
SET OF CURRENT SENSORS.
For meters using parallel current sensors you must multiply the kWh display reading by
the number of sets of current sensors installed. With Demand meters, the PEAK
Demand is also multiplied by the number of sets of current sensors installed.
Example:
17(meter display reading) x 2 (sets of sensors in parallel) = 34 kWh
34 kWh x $0.121 (utility cost per kWh) = $4.12

11.0 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. Q. The load I need to
monitor has parallel feeds. How do I install the current sensors for this application?
A. There are two ways you can monitor parallel feeds. One method is to clamp the
sensors around all feed wires for each phase (no additional reading multiplier
required). The second way to monitor parallel feeds is to clamp the sensor around one
of the feed wires for each phase, and when you read the kWh meter the final reading
must be multiplied by the number of feed wires for each phase.
Q. I have two subpanels 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 different
power sources. When you parallel current sensors, all loads 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?
