Introduction 

 

SENSOR LIMITATIONS 

USE ONLY SHUNTED CURRENT TRANSFORMERS (CTs). 
Do not use other CTs. Only use shunted CTs with a 333mV maximum output only. Serious shock hazard and 
logger damage can occur if unshunted CTs are used. The UL listing covers the use of the following DENT 
Instruments CTs that are UL Recognized and have been evaluated to IEC 61010-1: 

CT-RGT12-XXXX (solid core), CT-SRS-XXX (split core), CT-HSC-020-X (20A Mini), CT-HSC-050-X (50A Mini), 
CT-HMC-0100-X (100A Midi), CT-HMC-0200-X (200A Midi), CT-RXX-1310-U (R

ō

Coil), CTRXX-A4-U (R

ō

Coil), CT-

CON-1000-X, CT-CON-0150EZ-X and the CT-SRL-XXX. 
The use of any other CT will invalidate the UL Listing. 

 

FCC COMPLIANCE 

PS24-D-S/PS24-N-S 

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to 
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, 

uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this 
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be 
required to correct the interference at user’s own expense. 
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, 
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause 
undesired operation. 

 

DC VOLTAGES 

The PowerScout is designed to measure AC voltages for installations up to 600 VAC.  The PowerScout is 
also capable of measuring DC voltages up to 600 VDC with the following caveats:  

1) The internal fuse installed in the PowerScout is not a suitable disconnect for voltages above 80 VDC. 
Customers using the PowerScout for high voltage DC systems must install a UL listed inline 600 volt DC 
fuse with a rating of 1 amp or less. These fuses are commonly available in the solar power market. 

2) UL and ANSI testing of the PowerScout was conducted on AC systems only. DC results are comparable 
but not tested.  

3) DENT Instruments VIEWPOINT software does not currently have a configuration or registers that are 
specific to DC systems. Values reported for voltage, current, KW, KWH will be correct however it should 
be noted that the meter will also report values that pertain to AC systems (such as VARs and Power 
Factor) that should be ignored.  

 

 
Equipment protected throughout by double insulation (IEC 536 Class II).
