Page 7: Introduction
See “Safety Precautions” on page 7. Scope This Guide is for the mechanical and electrical installation of the Triacta GATEWAY. Refer to the Triacta GATEWAY Configuration and Operations Guide for device configuration, commissioning, and operation of the Triacta GATEWAY.

Base and Meter Head units. The Meter Base can be installed, and the electrical connections terminated by electrical contractors, independently of the TRIACTA GATEWAY Meter Head. The Triacta GATEWAY Meter Head may be installed at a later time by a technician with no electrical accreditation.
Page 13: Triacta Gateway Meter Head
Triacta GATEWAY Figure 3: Triacta GATEWAY Internal view Figure 2 shows the internal view of the Triacta GATEWAY . Triacta GATEWAY Meter Head The Meter Head unit supports the following: One to four measurement modules each supporting twelve inputs for 80mA CTs, 100mA CTs, 333mV CTs or pulse counters.
Page 14 Separate control and sense voltage wiring is required when using the Triacta GATEWAY 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 15: Triacta Gateway Ct / Pulse Wiring Modules
Each CT / Pulse Wiring Module supports 12 inputs pairs, numbered P1 to P12. The Triacta GATEWAY Meter Base unit supports up to 4 CT / Pulse Wiring Modules for a total of 48 input pairs. The number of inputs available of each type depends on the number of measurement modules and CT / Pulse Wiring Modules installed in the meter.
Page 16: Triacta Gateway Flex Configuration
Triacta GATEWAY Triacta GATEWAY Flex configuration The following diagram illustrates how the Triacta GATEWAY 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. Figure 6: Example Flex Configuration Wiring...

CT types – 80mA, 100mA and/or 333mV Determine the number of pulse inputs required 3. Determine the number of Triacta GATEWAY systems to be installed and ensure adequate space. For clearances, see Figure 7. Determine the number and types of Measurement Modules required for each Triacta GATEWAY system.

3wire delta application. The installation procedures must be performed in the following order: Mount the Meter Base Module The Triacta GATEWAY can be mounted on a wall as a complete system with the Meter Head unit pre-installed or as just the Meter Base unit with the Meter Head unit to be installed later.
Page 19: Install Ct / Pulse Wiring Modules Into The Meter Base Unit
Figure 8: Installing CT / Pulse Wiring Modules into the Meter Base Unit Install disconnect devices for sense and control voltages Each Triacta GATEWAY 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 20 4. 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 Triacta GATEWAY 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 24: Install And Connect Cts
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off. • NEVER open circuit a CT; Connecting CTs to a Triacta GATEWAY CT / Pulse Wiring Module will ensure that the CT wire pairs are always either shorted or terminated by the Meter Head.
Page 25 300 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 Triacta GATEWAY 80mA CT CT / Pulse Wiring Module using Triacta 5A:80mA CT converters.
Page 26: Connect Pulse Inputs
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 Triacta GATEWAY pulse in terminal block.
Page 27: Connect The Ethernet Cable
Connect the Ethernet Cable Connect the Triacta GATEWAY 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 Meter Head unit.
Page 28: Record The Meter Map
A copy of Figure 23, which is organized to resemble a breaker panel, is provided with each Triacta GATEWAY, and is to be completed and delivered to your system administrator.

Page 30: Maintenance
Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off. Remove the outer cover from the unit. Locate fuse F1 on the Triacta GATEWAY Voltage Module as shown in Figure 4. Replace fuse F1 with a fuse that meets the specifications listed in Table 1.
Page 31: Meter Head Servicing Or Replacement
Triacta GATEWAY Meter Head Servicing or Replacement Before removing the Meter Head, be sure to turn off all the power feed/s to the Triacta GATEWAY Meter Base unit. Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
Page 32: Appendix 1: Current Transformers Overview
0.333 V 300 ft (100 m) / 22 AWG As shown in table 5, 5 Amp secondary CTs can work with the Triacta GATEWAY by using Triacta 5A:100mA or 5A:80mA CT convertors (figure 24). One convertor is required for each 5A secondary CT.
Page 33: Ct Orientation
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 Triacta GATEWAY 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 colour pair mapping.
Page 34: Ct Shorting And Termination
CT/Pulse Wiring Modules Two types of CT/Pulse Wiring modules are available for the Triacta GATEWAY. A CT/Pulse Wiring - Screw Terminal module and a CT/Pulse Wiring - 12Pair Cable Module.
Page 35: Ct Naming Designations
Typically, the CT/Pulse Wiring - 12Pair Cable Module would be used when all CTs are located in the same distribution panel. The CT cable can be easily routed from the Triacta GATEWAY to the distribution panel and the CTs can then be direct connected to the CT cable inside the panel.
