FCC PART 15 INFORMATION
NOTE: This equipment has been tested by the manufacturer 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 his own expense.
Modifications to this product without the express authorization of
Veris Industries nullify this statement.
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.)
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

• This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified electrical personnel.
• Read, understand and follow the instructions before installing this product.
• Turn off all power supplying equipment before working on or inside the equipment.
• Product may use multiple voltage/power sources. Be sure all sources of power
have been disconnected before servicing.
• Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
DO NOT DEPEND ON THIS PRODUCT FOR VOLTAGE INDICATION
• Only install this product on insulated conductors.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and
operation of this electrical equipment and the installation, and has received safety
training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.

Product Identification
Product Overview
The E31E Series panelboard monitoring system is designed to measure the current, voltage, and energy
consumption of up to 92 circuits (84 branch circuits, 2 3-phase mains, 2 neutrals), enabling users to monitor
two panelboards or an entire data center PDU with a single product. It increases the board’s current monitoring
capability by combining the functions of two boards into one device.
The E31E consists of a data acquisition module, up to four current sensor adapter boards, and up to 84 split-core
branch current sensors (50A, 100A, or 200A), with eight auxiliary inputs. Each conductor passes through the
appropriate branch current sensor before terminating at the breaker. Each sensor transmits the current data to the
data acquisition board. The E31E measures both current and power for the mains and branch circuits. The E31E can
easily accommodate different panel configurations, including any combination of multi-phase breaker positions,
voltage phase mapping, and breaker sizes. To configure the E31E for operation, download the E3x Configuration
Tool and the E3x Commissioning Guide from www.veris.com.
Data is transmitted via ethernet with Modbus TCP, BACnet IP or SNMP protocol, or via RS-485 with Modbus RTU or
BACnet MS/TP protocols. Some protocols can be used simultaneously, and the ethernet protocols all support access
by multiple masters. Each data acquisition board requires two Modbus addresses, one for each set of 42 current
sensors, and four auxiliary inputs. Data is updated roughly every two seconds. When a circuit exceeds the user-
defined thresholds, the E31E activates the alarm indicators. The communication interfaces and protocols require
some configuration at the time of installation.
