Installation procedures

This section provides information about activities that must be performed to install the 
PowerHawk in a single-phase, poly-phase, or three-phase application (120/208V or 120/240V). 
The installation procedures must be performed in the order listed in Table 2 to ensure safety and 
proper functioning of the equipment.

WARNING:  

If the equipment is installed or used in a manner not specified in this 

document, the protection of the equipment may be impaired. 

Table 2:  Installation procedures

Mounting the PowerHawk

The PowerHawk is mounted adjacent to the main breaker box. The unit can be mounted either 
horizontally or vertically, depending on the preferred routing of the wiring. It should be securely 
mounted with four 1-inch (25 mm) #8 mounting screws suitable for the selected mounting 
surface.  If mounting the unit on a gyprock surface, also use cylinder plugs. 

1.

Remove the front cover from the PowerHawk by removing the four screws with a Phillips 
screwdriver. Keep the cover and screws in a safe place for re-installing. 

2.

Mount the PowerHawk on the wall and secure it by inserting a screw in each mounting 
keyhole and tightening the screws.

Installing voltage transformers for three-phase service greater than 120V

Voltage transformers are required when monitoring services greater than 120V. Measurement 
Canada approved VTs to reduce the line-to-neutral voltage of the service to 120V. The accuracy 
class should be 0.3% or better, with a burden rating of 150VA.
