QUICK INSTALL
Observe handling precautions for static sensitive
devices to avoid damage to the circuitry which
would not be covered under the factory warranty.
1. Disconnect and lock out power. Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to
conrm power is o.
2. Mount current sensor strips adjacent to breaker terminations.
3. Verify that the serial numbers on the CTs match that on the board.
4. Congure communication and addressing parameters using DIP switches.
5. Mount the main acquisition board in the electrical enclosure.
6. Connect current sensor strip cables to the main board, observing the 2-strip setup
and their orientation (A or B) within the panel.
7. Wire RS-485 communications.
8. Connect CTs to the auxiliary inputs and connect them onto the main conductors in
the enclosure (optional).
9. Wire control power and voltage taps (ASPMETERA and ASPMETERB only).
10. Download the free E3x Conguration Tool from www.veris.com to commission the
device for operation.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
OPERATION
The ASPMETER Series Branch Current Monitor is a device designed to measure the
current, voltage, and energy consumption of up to for 46 circuits (42 branch circuits, 1
3-phase main, and 1 neutral).
The ASPMETER consists of a data acquisition board and two 21-unit current sensor
strips, with four auxiliary inputs. The strips are mounted on each side of the panel
board along the termination points of each breaker. The conductor passes through
the appropriate current sensor before terminating at the breaker. Each strip transmits
the current data to the data acquisition board.
Data is transmitted using an RS-485 Modbus protocol. Each data acquisition board
requires one Modbus address for the set of two current sensors and four auxiliary
inputs. Data is updated roughly every two seconds. As a circuit approaches the userdened threshold, the ASPMETER activates the alarm indicators.
The ASPMETERA measures both current and power for the mains and branch circuits.
The ASPMETERB measures both current and power for the mains, and current only in
each circuit. The ASPMETERC measures current only for the mains and branch circuits.

7. Communications Address DIP Switches: Each Modbus device must have a
unique address. Switches are binary weighted. Left-most switch has a value of 1;
right-most switch has a value of 128.
8. Communications Settings DIP Switch: Congures baud rate, parity, 2/4 wire
communications.
9. RS-485 2 Connection: Used for Modbus serial communications. The Universal
plug accomodates 2 or 4 wire connec tions.
10. RS-485 LEDs: The RX LED (closest to DIP switches) indicates the RS-485
is receiving information; the TX LED (farthest from DIP switches) indicates
transmission of information.
11. Power LED: Indicates power to main board
12. Current Sensors: Each current sensor is capable of monitoring conductors rated
up to a maximum of 100 amps.
13. 50 Pin Ribbon Cable Connectors (Current Sensor Strips): Connects current
signal from the sensor strip to the main board via the ribbon connectors.
