INSTALLATIoN GUIDe
quIck Install
Observe precautions for handling static sensitive
devices to avoid damage to the circuitry that
is not 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 CT strips match the serial number
on main circuit board (Data Acquisition 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 or
4-strip setup and their orientation (A or B) within the panel.
7. Wire RS-485 communications.
8. Connect CTs to the auxiliary inputs and connec t them onto the main conductors in
the enclosure (optional).
9. Wire control power and voltage taps (E30A and E30B only).
10. Download the free E3x conguration tool from www.veris.com to commission the
device for operation.
oPeratIon
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.

Data is transmitted using an RS-485 Modbus protocol. Each 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.
Note: Connect CT 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 CT strips match the serial number
on the main circuit board (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.
5. Alive LED: Red/green/amber LEDs. Blink codes are on page 3.

7. Communications Address DIP Switches: Each Modbus device must have a
unique address. Switches are binary weighted. Lef t-most switch has a value of 1;
right-most switch has a value of 128. Note: the 4-strip model uses 2 addresses.
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.
