QUICK INSTALL
Observe precautions for handling static sensitive
devices to avoid damage to the circuitry that
is not covered under the factory warranty.
Disconnect and lock out power. Use a properly rated
voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off.
1. Mount the current sensor strips adjacent to the breaker terminations.
2. Verify that the serial numbers on the current sensor strips match the
serial number on the data acquisition board.
3. Congure communication and addressing parameters using the DIP switches.
4. Mount the data acquisition board in the electrical enclosure.
5. Connect the current sensor strip cables to the main board, observing the 2-strip or
4-strip setup and their orientation (A or B) within the panel.
6. Wire the RS-485 communications.
7. Connect the CTs to the auxiliary inputs and connect them to the main conductors
in the enclosure (optional).
8. Wire the control power and voltage taps (E30A and E30B only).
9. Download the free E3x conguration tool from www.veris.com to commission the
device for operation.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The E30 Series Branch Current Monitor is a device designed to measure the current,
voltage, and energy consumption of up to 92 circuits (84 branch circuits, 2 3-phase
mains, 2 neutrals) on a single board. It increases the board’s current monitoring
capability by combining the functions of two boards into one device.
The E30 consists of a data acquisition board and up to four 21-unit current sensor
strips, with eight 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.

requires two addresses, one for each set of two current sensor strips and four
auxiliary inputs. Data is updated roughly every two seconds. As a circuit approaches
the user-dened threshold, the E30 activates the alarm indicators.
The E30A measures both current and power for the mains and branch circuits. The
E30B measures both current and power for the mains, and current only in each circuit.
The E30C measures current only for the mains and branch circuits.

1. 50-Pin Ribbon Cable Connectors (Data Acquisition Board): 48-inch (1220
mm) ribbon cables are provided for easy connection of current sensor strips to
this point of the data acquisition board. The two connectors on the left are for
panelboard 1; the two on the right are for panelboard 2.
Connect current sensor strips to the correct ribbon cable connectors for each
panel. The top connector is for Strip A, and the bottom conector is for Strip B.
Verify that the serial numbers on the current sensor strips match the
serial number on the data acquisition board.
2. Auxiliary Inputs: These 0.333 VAC inputs are used for monitoring the main
breaker or other high amperage source. Inputs on the lef t are for panelboard 1;
inputs on the right are for panelboard 2.
3. Control (Mains) Power Connection: Easy 2-wire 90-277 VAC 50/60 Hz
connection.
4. Control Power Fuse: 600 VAC, 500 mA time lag, factory-replaceable.
