Pre-installation
Environmental Conditions
Mounting
1. Inspect for shipping damage
2. Record the i-Sense® serial number *
3. Register the i-Sense at www.igrid.com*
4. Configure the i-Sense hardware for the service voltage *
5. Configure communications software using the Ethernet port. (this can be
done after installation and power-up)
* For more information, please refer to Rockwell Automation Publication 1608S-UM001-EN-P
WARNING: Do not apply power to the i-Sense until the wiring is completed
and right-side cover is replaced. Installation must be performed by an
electrician, in accordance with all local and national codes.
The i-Sense is rated for installation in the following environment:
• Indoor use only, no conductive pollution.
• Altitude up to 2000 m (6500 ft)
• Temperature range +0...+40 °C (+32...+104 °F)
• Maximum relative humidity 95%, non-condensing.
• Provide 10 inches (250 mm) clearance around the i-Sense for cooling and
access.
• Remove the left and right covers (four Phillips-head screws, two top and
two bottom)
• Mount the i-Sense to a vertical surface using the four mounting holes. Two
of the four mounting screws should penetrate into studs at least 1 in.
(25mm). Mounting screws 1.5 in. (38mm) long are recommended.
Electrical Connections
• Branch protection: upstream fuse or circuit breaker protection rated 20A
or less is required. Protection rated less than 5 A is not recommended.
• Conduit entry: top or bottom.
• Connect the Ground (Earth) wire to the #10-32 stud near the bottom
knock-out.
• Connect mains line to the INPUT_1 terminal block, according to the
proper wiring diagram from Tabl e 1
• 6-Channel Version: if the INPUT_2 terminal block is present, wire the
second 3-phase set using the same wiring diagram.
• Verify that the JP1 plug is properly configured, per Ta bl e 2
RED wires must be installed if the channel voltage is greater than 250
VA C .
WARNING: This unit is not rated for 600V AC or 690V AC L-L installations.
600Y/346V installations require 4-wire L-N wiring method. The neutral must be
connected as shown inTab le 1
• Replace the right-side cover and two screws

and requirements adopted by the ACTA. This equipment is designed for
connection to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See
installation instructions for details.
• The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be
connected to the telephone line. Excessive REN on the telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most,
but not all areas, the sum of the REN should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as
determined by the total REN, contact the local telephone company. The
REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format:
[US: 3A4MM00BTM] The digits shown after MM are the REN without
decimal point. (e.g., 00 is a REN of 0.0)
• If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. If advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone
company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is
necessary. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until
the problem is resolved. The telephone company may make changes in its
facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will
provide advance notice in order for you to make the necessary
modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. If it can be done safely, try to reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the modem and the receiver.
3. Connect the modem to an outlet on a different circuit from the receiver.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
