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 left 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.

6.  

Voltage Taps:

  1, 2, or 3 phase plus neutral connections. For voltage sensing and 

power calculations (no voltage taps on the E30C).

7.  

Communications Address DIP Switches:

  Each Modbus device must have a 

unique address. Switches are binary weighted. Left-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:

  Configures 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 connections. 

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.
