Split-Core Panelboard Monitoring System
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-
NEC2011 Article 100
defined thresholds, the E31E activates the alarm indicators. The communication interfaces and protocols require
some configuration at the time of installation.
