oPeratIon

The E31 Series Branch Current Monitor is 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. One E31 can monitor up to two panels.

The E31 consists of a data acquisition board and up to 84 split-core current sensors (50A, 100A, or 200A), with eight auxiliary inputs. Each conductor passes through a current sensor and terminates at the breaker. Each sensor 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 42 current sensors and four auxiliary inputs. Data is updated roughly every two seconds. As a circuit approaches the userdened threshold, the E31 activates the alarm indicators.

The E31A measures both current and power for the mains and branch circuits. The E31B measures both current and power for the mains, and current only in each circuit. The E31C measures current only for the mains and branch circuits.

4. To determine an address, simply add the values of any switch that is on.

For example:

LSB

Switch number 4 has an ON Value of 8 and switch number 6 has an ON Value of 32. (8 + 32 = 40). Therefore, the address for Panel 1 is 40, and the address for Panel 2 is

safety

If Veris E31 products are used in installations with circuits higher than the product ratings, the circuits must be kept segregated per UL508A Sec. 17.5.

Note: 277/480VAC Wye connected (center grounded) power systems operate within the 300VAC line to neutral safety rating of the E3x series, and the operational voltage limit (single-phase connection) as the line to neutral voltage is 277VAC in such power systems. Corner-grounded delta 480VAC systems would not qualif y, as the actual line to earth voltage is 480VAC on each leg, exceeding the E3x ratings.

Note: E3x internal circuitr y (cables and CTs) are not circuits as dened by UL508A, as they do not extend beyond the E3x itself without further safety/ re isolation.

UL listed under standard 508 as an “open type device.”

Maximum ambient air temperature for use is 60°C.

Installation categor y: CAT III

The E31 Series must be installed in an appropriate electrical and re enclosure per local regulations.

For use in a Pollution Degree 2 or better environment only.

A Pollution Degree 2 environment must control conductive pollution and the possibility of condensation or high humidit y. Consideration must be given to the enclosure, the correct use of ventilation, thermal properties of the equipment and the relationship with the environment.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the device may be impaired.

• Check the unit Modbus address to ensure that each device on the daisy chain has a unique address.

• Check Parity.

• Check the communications wiring.

• Check that the daisy chain is properly terminated.

• Check for reversed polarity on Modbus comms.

• Check for sucient biasing on the Modbus bus. Modbus physical specication calls for 450-650 Ω biasing. This is usually

provided by the master.

• Verify ribbon cable connectors are inserted in the correct orientation.

• If cables are correct, reset main board to re-initialize product.

• One or more channels is clipping. This can be caused by a signal greater than the split-core size or 277 V L-N, or by a signal

with high THD near the gain stage switching points (1.5 A and 10 A).

• Everything is wired properly and the main board has power.

• Light may be red briey while device powers up.

• If light is red for more the 60 sec. device has encountered a diagnostic event. Contact technical support.

• Device was unable to read split-core adapter boards on power up. Verify adapter boards are connected.

• Verify ribbon cable connectors are inserted in the correct orientation.

• Reset main board to re-initialize product.

• Verify voltage taps are connected in appropriate phase rotation.

• Verify phase rotation of breakers (rmware rev. 1.012 or higher allows for custom rotation if needed).

• Verify ribbon cable is fully seated and in the correct orientation.

• The product cuts o at 50 mA, and will set the reporting register to 0 mA for currents near or below this range.

• Verify using the latest release of E3x Cong Tool as older versions may not support all features in current product rmware.
