COMMISSIONING GUIDE
Click the Scan button to have the software locate available devices on the system.
All devices located in the scan will appear in the box adjacent to the Scan button. Click on the device you wish to congure.
Each main board with four
ribbon cable connectio ns uses
two Modbus addresses.
Below the Scan window is a row of buttons: Congure Device, Global Resets, Alarm Status, and Data Monitoring.
When each button is selected, a unique row of tabs appears below. The information in these tabs must be congured to the system requirements. Every setting has a default
value programmed in. The next sections describe the settings found within each tab.

Configure Device Button
After scanning for devices, the tool locates all E3x and ASPMETER devices connected to the system. Select a meter from the list and click the Read From Device button to
congure.
1. General.
Select the CT conguration used in the installation. This tab looks dierent for the ASPMETER (E30) solid-core and E31 split-core devices, with only the options for the
selected device appearing as options. The Device Location is an optional description the installer can enter to specify the location of each device on the network. Note:
If the configuration tool is opened on a computer not connected to a meter, the tool defaults to the E30 General tab.

These settings apply to current demand (registers 269-272, 1462 - 1503) and power demand (registers 277, 1378-1419).
Congure the number of sub intervals. The default is 1, but it can be set for 1-6 sub-interval windows.
Congure sub-interval length (register 72). The default is 900 sec (15 minutes), but it can be set from 10 – 32767 (in seconds). For Sync to Comms, set to 0. Sync to
Comms mode will start demand calculations based on writes to Modbus register 295 with a value of 26012 (decimal).
Calculate Demand by continuously summing the subinterval averages and dividing by the number of subintervals. The subinterval average is recalculated every second
from the RMS values for current and power. The Demand register will update at the end of each subinterval. See the example below. For Block mode, set the number of
subintervals to 1 (Reg 71).

3. Aux CT Size.
Set the CT size for each channel. Enter the value for each channel separately, or enter one value and click Set All Channels. Auxiliary #1 (register 115) to Auxiliar y #4
(register 118) dene the auxiliary or “mains” CT size (typically 200 A). Type the appropriate numeric value for each auxiliary CT installed in the panel. CT size must be
1-32,767. Set this value for each panel on the E3x.
