Installers must be qualified electricians with knowledge of local and national code requirements. See “Safety Precautions” on page 6. Scope This Guide is for the mechanical and electrical installation of the Gateway. Refer to the GATEWAY™ Configuration and Operations Guide for device configuration, commissioning, and operation of the Gateway. - Page 6 NEVER short the secondary of a Potential Transformer (PT). • Always short the secondary of a current transformer prior to disconnecting current input loads. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury. © 2018 Triacta Power Solutions LP All Rights Reserved...

- Page 9 Gateway GXXXX System Description The GATEWAY™ is a modular, high density electrical meter and pulse collector system for Measurement and Verification, Energy Management, and tenant billing applications. The hot-swappable GATEWAY Head, coupled with the GATEWAY Enclosure, comprise a GATEWAY GXXXX System: an industrial grade, rapidly deployed unit with powerful communications options that will fit any building use case.
- Page 10 Gateway GXXXX Figure 2: Gateway internal view Figure 2 shows the internal view of the Gateway. GATEWAY™ Meter Brick The meter brick supports the following: • One to four sensor modules each supporting twelve inputs for 80mA CTs, 100mA CTs, 333mV CTs or pulse counters.
- Page 11 Separate control and sense voltage wiring is required when using the Gateway GXXXX with a Triacta PT Module, or when the meter is expected to be ON at all times - even when the sense voltage source is OFF. I.E. the sense voltage is from an emergency power panel that is not always ON.
- Page 12 Gateway Head unit is not installed. Each wiring module supports 12 inputs pairs, numbered P1 to P12. The Gateway base unit supports up to 4 termination modules for a total of 48 inputs. The number of inputs available of each type depends on the number of measurement modules and wiring modules installed in the meter.
- Page 13 Gateway GXXXX Gateway Flex configuration The following diagram illustrates how the Gateway GXXXX could be connected to two different voltage panels using two different types of CTs and different numbers of elements per meter point from each panel. 13 © 2018 Triacta Power Solutions LP.

Installation Instructions This section provides information about activities that must be performed to install the Gateway GXXXX in a single-phase 2-wire, single-phase 3-wire (network), three-phase 4-wire or 3ph 3wire delta application. The installation procedures must be performed in the following order: “Mounting the Base Module on page xxx... - Page 17 Gateway GUIDE Mount The Base Module The Gateway Gxxxx can be mounted on a wall as a complete system with the Head unit pre-installed or as just the Base unit with the Head unit to be installed later. Figure 4 shows the general mounting layout for a base unit on its own.
- Page 18 Fig xxx below. Install disconnect devices for sense and control voltages Each Gateway GXXXX device must be connected to all sense and control voltages through properly rated (15 Amp) disconnects or breakers that disconnect all line wires so that they can be powered down.
- Page 19 If more than one meter is being installed, repeat this procedure for each additional meter NOTE: The phase wiring sequence A, B, C between the Gateway GXXXX meter and the circuit breaker panel must match or the measurement readings will be incorrect. If the circuit breaker panel does not designate phase A, phase B and phase C feeds, make your own designation and use it for the rest of the installation.

- Page 25 When connecting CTs to a CT cable, Feed the CT cable from the Gateway GXXXX meter into the panel through the appropriate punch-outs with approved strain reliefs. Strip the plastic sheaths on the cable to an appropriate length to expose the wire pairs.
- Page 26 300 ft (100 m) / 22 AWG (from converter to meter) When installing 5 Amp output CTs Where 5A output CTs are required, they can be connected to a Gateway GXXXX 80mA or 100mA CT module using Triacta 5A:80mA CT converters.
- Page 27 Each pulse input is compatible with both dry (reed) and solid-state Form A contacts. When the pulsing device provides solid-state form A outputs, the negative terminal from the source device must be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the Gateway GXXXX pulse in terminal block.
- Page 28 Head unit can be inserted later when the installation is ready to be commissioned. Before installing the Head unit be sure to turn off all the power feed/s to the Gateway Base unit and to all panel/s where the CTs are installed. Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
- Page 29 Connect the Gateway GXXXX to a 10/100BaseT 802.3-2002 compliant IP network or device by connecting a CAT5 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 Ethernet port on the Head unit. The Ethernet port enables TR3/TR5 data reporting and BAS Modbus IP or BACnet TCP/IP services to the Gateway GXXXX device.

Remove the outer cover from the unit. Locate fuse F1 at the top left corner inside the unit. Replace fuse F1 with a fuse that meets the specifications listed in Table 1 on page 2. 31 © 2018 Triacta Power Solutions LP.

Table 2 lists the Gateway GXXXX CT Sensor Modules and the types of CT that can be used with each module. The table also indicates the maximum distance and corresponding wire gauge for connecting each type of CT to the Gateway GXXXX.
- Page 33 The X1/X2 outputs from each CT for each circuit must be connected to the X1/X2 inputs of each corresponding CT input connection on the appropriate Gateway GXXXX CT input module. When installing CTs in a panel, ensure that all CT wiring is labeled with the proper X1/X2 designations, or that it follows a standard X1/X2 color pair mapping.
- Page 34 Typically, the CT Wiring - CT cable module would be used when all CTs are located in the same distribution panel. The CT cable can be easily routed from the Gateway 34 © 2018 Triacta Power Solutions LP. All Rights Reserved...
- Page 35 If CTs are located in different panels, or if there is a very long distance from the CTs to the Gateway GXXXX, it may be more desirable to route separate CT wiring from each circuit direct to the CT Wiring - Termination module.
