Two flat-head screws that secure the enclosure front may be covered with adhesive-type security
seals that indicate tampering when removed. Also, some models provide a tamper indication
through the wireless AMR system when enclosure cover is removed.
1.5 Functional Description
The 6W201 versions of the Mini Meter accurately quantifies electrical energy usage of 1PH 3W
(2-pole) 120/208V or 120/240V loads. Solid Core Current Transformers are used to measure
current flowing to a load. Energy information (pulses) is recorded by the onboard wireless
transceiver, which time stamps kWh readings in 15-minute intervals and sends it over a secure
wireless network to a Data Concentrating Access Point (DCAP), where data from a network of
meters is stored for on a local computer for billing or energy management functions, or data can
be pushed from the DCAP or pulled from remote locations via an Ethernet connection.

Revision B
MINI METER FLUSH MOUNT INSTALLATION GUIDE
3.3 Preparation
1. Verify the model number and electrical specifications of the device being
installed to confirm they are appropriate for the intended electrical service (see
Section 2).
2. Consult local codes for any possible permits or inspections required before
beginning electrical work.
3. Make sure all tools to be used during installation have proper insulation
ratings.
4. Check the Mini Meter and electrical panel for possible exposed wire, broken
wire, damaged components or loose connections.
3.4 List of Materials
Mini Meter, flush mount enclosure and associated mounting materials, two #6
x 1⅝ drywall screws.
Additional wiring for CT or voltage leads extension if needed. Wires must be
18 AWG or thicker and insulated for 300 VAC min.
Current Transformers (CTs): This product is designed for use with Leviton
CTs; see Section 2.2 for details.
Conduit and fittings.
3.5 Setting up the Enclosure
3.5.1 Selecting a Mounting Location
Mini Meter flush mount enclosures require a switch or circuit breaker
as part of the building installation.
The switch or circuit breaker must be marked as the disconnecting
device for the Mini Meter.
It is recommended that the enclosure be mounted near the
disconnecting device.
Ensure that the CT and voltage lead lengths (and conduit lengths) are
capable of reaching the enclosure from the load center.
If a suitable mounting location near the load center cannot be found,
additional in line fuses or circuit breaker may be required in
accordance with NEC regulations.
Confirm that service is disconnected before any connections
are made.
Warning: To avoid fire, shock or death, always open or
disconnect the circuit from the power distribution system of a
building before installing or servicing current transformers.
In accordance with NEC, CTs may not be installed in any panel
board where they exceed 75% of the wiring space of any crosssectional area.
3.5.2 Making Conduit Openings
It is recommended that conduit holes be placed in the lower left
compartment of the flush mount enclosure, just below the Mini Meter I/O
terminal block. Conduit hole sizes must be appropriate to fittings, and
large enough to fit all voltage and CT wiring (4-7 18 AWG min. wires
insulated for 300 V min.).
3.6 Installation of Voltage Lines
1. Based on desired mounting location, check if additional in-line fuses are
required to meet local electric codes. (See section 3.8 for mounting location
requirements and recommendations).
2. Mini Meters come standard with voltage wires pre-connected to the metering
board.
3. Route wires through conduit to the breaker panel.
4. Trim wires to the appropriate length to avoid coils of excess wiring and strip to
approximately 0.300 inches.
5. Following all national and local electric codes, connect wires to appropriate
locations in the load center. Wires should be tightened so that they are held
snuggly in place, but do not to over-tighten, as this may compress and
weaken the conductor. See figure 5 for Mini Meter wiring diagram.
Field wired CT connections are made to the Mini Meter terminal block. The rated
torque for these terminal blocks is 4.4 in-lb, and can be used with solid and
stranded copper wires, at 12-18 AWG.
Splices on the CT leads must be within the meter enclosure, not inside the
conduit.
Leviton-provided CT leads are approximately 48 inches. Wire insulation should
be stripped so that the bare conductor length that connects to the meter terminal
block does not exceed 0.300 inches.
CTs should be securely fastened such that they will not slide down to live
terminals.
Wires should be tightened so that they are held snuggly in place, but do not to
over-tighten, as this may compress and weaken the conductor.
Current and voltage inputs must be installed ‘in phase’ for accurate readings (e.g.
CT1 on Line 1, CT2 on Line 2); see Figure 5.
Leviton solid core CTs (Figure 3): In accordance with CT label, the LINE side of
CT must face incoming Line. White lead connects to X2 of CT connection
(CT1:X2 or CT2:X2). Colored lead connects to X1 of the corresponding CT
connection (CT1:X1 or CT2:X1).
Figure 3: Leviton solid core CTs
Installing solid core CTs
1. Route CT wires through the conduit if not already done.
2. Trim the wire to the appropriate length to avoid coils of excess wiring.
3. Strip wiring to approximately .300 inches and connect to the appropriate
terminals as described above.
4. With power turned off, disconnect each monitored conductor and slide on a
CT, ensuring the CT is correctly oriented as noted above.
Failure to install CTs in the correct orientation and on the correct phase will lead
to inaccurate meter readings. The Mini Meter wiring diagram is shown in Figure
5.
3.8 Flush Mount Enclosure Installation
The Flush Mount Enclosure uses preinstalled clamps (Figure 4). After performing steps 1
and 2, follow the instructions for the appropriate enclosure.
1. Select a desired installation location following the guidelines of 3.5.1.
2. Make a 4.5” x 8.75” hole in the mounting surface for the enclosure to be situated. See
Figure 1for enclosure dimensions.
3. Unscrew the clamps to their maximum distance and orient them parallel with the
enclosure as show in frame 2 of Figure 4.
4. Slide the meter into the wall opening and tighten the clamp screws as in frame 3 of
Figure Error! Reference source not found.4.
5. After running the tests in Section 3.9, place the cover on the meter and attach with the
The power LED illuminates when the Mini Meter has a proper power supply.
Voltage should also be tested using an AC Voltmeter to verify that the voltage
across voltage line terminals (L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral) is not in excess of
the maximum rated voltage in section 2.2.
CT Reverse Phase Indicator
Mini Meters have a red reverse phase indicator LED as described in section 2.3.
A load current of at least 1 Amp must be present through one of the CT
primary circuits in order for the reverse phase LED to function correctly. If
a proper load is connected, and the LED is illuminated, power down the voltage
supply and verify that CTs are installed correctly.
Load LED
The load LED is described in Table 4. This LED should be cycling at 50% duty
cycle when the meter is connected properly and a constant load is applied.
4. Wireless Automatic Meter Reading
Built into 6W201 models are a wireless Meter Data Transceiver (MDT) as shown in
Figure 2. Six wires connect between transceiver and the Mini Meter. The
transceiver logs and time stamps accumulated pulses in 15 minute intervals and
sends the data via a mesh network of transceivers and repeaters (if required) to a
Data Concentrating Access Point (DCAP). Repeaters and DCAPs are sold
separately.
4.1 MDT Power and Pulse input are pre-wired to isolated pulse output terminals:
4.1.1 Power: Red wire to meter terminal +12 VDC and black to terminal CNT.
4.1.2 Meter Pulse Input: Green wire to terminal 10 and black to ISOL COM.
4.1.3 Tamper Switch: White and black to tamper proof micro-switch.
Figure 6: Wireless Network consisting of MDTs, Repeater, DCAP
5.1 Network Activation
DCAP
A Tehama Network starts with the DCAP. Without a DCAP there are no originating
Beacons and therefore no Network to join. Thus it needs to be the first device that is
installed and powered.
With the DCAP in place and plugged in, the Repeater Backbone can then be
installed.
Repeaters
Repeaters should be powered up starting with those closest to the DCAP and
working your way out to the remote edges of the property. This will allow remote
Repeaters to see the Network Backbone when they are turned on. Powering up in
this order is not necessarily critical, but if not followed then the power-up LED
indications on a remote Repeater may not provide the useful feedback to the
installer that it has successfully joined the Network.
Once the Repeaters are in place, you can use the Commissioning and Installation
Tool (CIT) software (supplied on disc with purchase of the DCAP) to observe the
performance of the network backbone.
MDTs
Once the Network is in place, you can begin to place the MDTs in their locations and
turn them on. Alternatively the MDTs can be installed with the meters in the off
state. As soon as the meter begins to generate pulses, the first pulse will
automatically turn on the MDT and begin to transmit.
MDTs can also be placed and turned on before the Network Backbone is up and
operating, but there are a few disadvantages:
MDTs could take up to four hours to check in after the Network Backbone is put
•
in place.
You don’t get the LED feedback that gives you instant feedback that the MDT is
•
communicating successfully with the Network.
Placement:
Like repeaters, MDTs should not be mounted inside a metal box or near a metal
•
wall (i.e. heating furnace or electrical panel).
MDTs must be mounted using velcro, tie-wraps, or screws. Don’t let the MDT
•
dangle by the pulse input wire.
Avoid locations with dampness, high humidity, or an abundance of mold.
•
MDT & Repeater power-up
MDT and Repeater devices come from the factory in a powered off state. They
need to be powered up during the commissioning process so they can register with
the DCAP. MDT’s must be wired to the meter described in Section 4.1 in order to
commission the device.
The yellow circle shows where a hidden button is on the enclosure. It may take a
few times to get the feel of it, but an LED in the clear window to the right gives you
feedback when the button is pushed.
To turn a device ON, press and hold the button until the LED flashes off (about
•
four seconds) then release the button.
After about 30 seconds the LED flash frequency should change from slow to fast.
•
After another 30 seconds or so, the LED will stay solid for 10 seconds then go out.
The long flash indicates the device is communicating with the network.
To turn a device OFF, press and hold the button until the LED flashes off (about
•
four seconds) then release the button. The unit will give a double flash indicating the
off state.
LED Flash Indication States during power-up
Slow flash: The device is listening for Beacons from a DCAP and/or Repeaters.
Rapid Flash: The device has heard a DCAP and/or Repeater and is in process of
joining the Network.
Solid Flash: The device has confirmation that it has successfully joined the Network.
LED Flash indication States when button is momentarily pressed
Single Flash: The device is in a light sleep mode. It will wake up every so often to
listen for Beacons.
Double Flash: The device is OFF
10 second on: The device is successfully communicating with a Network.
Note that a light sleep mode is entered when a device is turned on but cannot hear a
radio network beacon. If no network is present, a device will stay in the slow flash
state for 90 seconds then go to sleep for some time before trying to listen again for a
beacon. It is highly recommended a device be turned off if no Network is nearby.
double-check CT orientations. One CT
installed in the incorrect direction
doesn’t always illuminate the reverse
phase LED
Make sure that current and voltage
connections are in phase (see Sections
3.6 and 3.7)
Check power connections and fuses
4. Reverse phase LED illuminated
Verify orientation and connection of CT
wires (see Section 3.7)
Ensure that phasing is correct (CT1 on
Line 1, CT2 on Line 2)
Verify that a load drawing more than 1
Amp is connected to the meter
5. Maintenance
Properly installed meters with sound connections and secure conduit fittings should not
require user maintenance. If the meter is functioning abnormally, consult the
FAQ/Troubleshooting guide in Section 7. If the answer cannot be found there, contact
Leviton technical support (see Section 7).
A: AMR is Automatic Meter Reading equipment. This typically consists of radio
transmitters, repeaters and a collector that monitors, records, and is capable of
transmitting data to a third party billing service (RBC).
Q: Why are the current transformers color coded (Black & white, red & white, and
blue & white)?
A: CT1 needs to monitor the same phase used to power the meter on line 1, CT2 needs
to monitor the same phase used to power line 2. Color coding helps the installer
maintain correct phasing.
Q: Can the meters be tampered with after installation?
A: The flush mount enclosures provide two drilled fillister head screws through which
wire seals can be installed. Also, tamper-evident labels can be affixed to the cover after
installation.
Q: Can voltage input wires and current transformer secondary leads be routed
through the same conduit?
A: Yes, provided Leviton supplied CTs are used.
Q: I accidentally installed my CTs backwards; can I switch the X1 and X2 terminal
connections instead of flipping the CT?
A: Yes, but this practice is not recommended as service technicians may believe that
meter is wired incorrectly.
Q: I still can’t get my meter to work, what now?
A: Contact technical support via phone or on our website given in the following section.
