Product Overview

The E34 Series Multi-Circuit Meters are designed to measure the current, voltage and energy consumption of up to 
14 3-phase circuits with a single board or up to 28 3-phase circuits with a 2-board configuration.  

The E34 uses commonly available split-core current sensors with 1/3 V (voltage-mode) outputs to cover a wide 
range of loads.  

Data is transmitted using an RS-485 Modbus protocol.  E34E models also incorporate Ethernet, with support 
for BACNet IP, Modbus TCP and SNMP protocols and include BACnet MS/TP serial capability and a sturdy metal 
enclosure.  

The E34 comes pre-configured for 3-phase loads, but can easily be configured on site to accommodate any 
combination of 3-phase, 2-phase and single-phase loads, with or without Neutral current, using the channels 
available on the model selected (see table below). 

To configure the E34 for operation, use the NetConfig configuration software tool and the E3x Commissioning Guide 
on the USB drive provided.
