METER CONFIGURATION 3.2.4 Configuring Alarms in S7 Configuration Utilities The VerifEye power meter has the ability to set alarms for over and under conditions for voltage and current on any meter channel. Configuration Input Methods S7 Configuration Utilities uses dynamic entry for the specification of Alarm settings.
METER CONFIGURATION 3.2.5 Setting the Real Time Clock The VerifEye meter includes a Real Time Clock. The clock is used only to time stamp Interval Data in the log, it is not used for calculation within the meter. For those customers using the IDR function of the meter, it is helpful (but not strictly necessary) to set the real time clock so that data records can be uniquely identified.
METER CONFIGURATION 3.2.6 Retrieving Interval Data The VerifEye meter maintains an internal log of the energy data (Net kWh) for each channel in the meter. This log is updated every 15 minutes and is always active. The meter stores 63 days’ worth of 15 minute data in its memory. This data can be retrieved by users looking to restore gaps in data collection where RTUs may have been offline or communication has been interrupted.
METER CONFIGURATION VerifEye Web App Overview The VerifEye meter hosts a Web Application that can be accessed by any smart device running a web browser. The VerifEye Web App can be accessed by using the USB or Ethernet port. NOTE: Mac users can configure the meter using the VerfiEye Web App Interface by installing a driver which is included in the Media Distribution materials.
METER INSTALLATION This section is intended to support the physical installation of the meter and provide guidance on connecting the current transformers (CTs) correctly within the electrical load center and to the VerifEye meter. Meter Mounting Configurations VerifEye meters are sold in several form factors. Enclosures are designed to be wall mounted and connected to electrical conduit.

METER INSTALLATION Wiring in a 3-wire, Split Phase Service Panel WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before wiring! WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE MAY BE PRESENT. To be installed by qualified personnel only.
L1-N, L2-N(est), L3-N NOTE: The VerifEye Meter Series uses the NEUTRAL terminal as a voltage reference. For systems without a neutral conductor, Leviton suggests connecting a ground wire to this terminal. If the neutral terminal is left open, L-L measurements will be accurate, but L-N measurements may not be symmetric.

METER INSTALLATION Wiring the CTs to the VerifEye Meter The image below shows how to connect CTs to the input terminals on the S7000/7100 for each service type. For service types that are not specifically listed, choose SINGLE PHASE service from the drop down menu and configure each channel individually.
COMMUNICATION & VERIFICATION This section is intended to support the commissioning of the meter by an instrumentation technician. In many cases, the electrical installation is conducted ahead of the availability of the RTU or was performed by a different installer. Often the technician is working in concert with a remote programmer who is confirming the connectivity with a remote host system.
COMMUNICATION & VERIFICATION Communication Verification NOTE: Verification includes confirmation of BOTH the physical interface settings (Serial or Ethernet) and the protocol (Modbus or BACnet) settings. The LCD User interface can be used to quickly confirm the settings required for each combination of interface and protocol. The interface is intuitive and groups together commonly associated registers.
COMMUNICATION & VERIFICATION Physical Interface Verification Serial Setup Verification In a multidrop serial network, the host data format settings are typically known or specified and the slave is adjusted to match. In some cases (long wiring runs, etc.), it may be necessary to experiment in determining the fastest allowable baud rate for a given wiring configuration by changing BOTH the host and slave devices.
COMMUNICATION & VERIFICATION Modbus Settings Modbus RTU Settings Device Address: In a Modbus network each device must be assigned a unique slave address. Valid Modbus addresses are 1-240 (the VerifEye 48 channel meter requires 15 addresses beyond Element A). The slave address of the power meter sets the register address for Element A.
COMMUNICATION & VERIFICATION Pulse Inputs Series 7000/7100 meters are equipped with 2 pulse inputs. Pulse counting supports accumulation of consumption data from any external meter using a dry contact (Form A Relay) or open collector outputs. The pulse inputs are compatible with “low speed”...
COMMUNICATION & VERIFICATION 5.10 Access Restriction Limitations If security levels have been set up in the meter, no data is accessible through the LCD user interface or VerifEye Web App without entering the PIN credentials. NOTE: Protocols such as Modbus DO NOT SUPPORT ANY LEVEL OF security such that any network traffic acting as a master can retrieve and write data from the registers.
Page 37
PINs are also accessible as registers, but are encoded so that reading the value of the register through an RTU does not inform a user what the password is. This feature allows Leviton Manufacturing to support looking up forgotten PINs, if network access is available.
COMMUNICATION & VERIFICATION 5.12 Verification of Installation Once the VerifEye meter is configured and communicating with the RTU, it is a good idea to perform some simple checks to ensure that all the CTs are on the correct voltage phases and that the CTs are facing the correct direction. The following are recommendations that work for typical installations.
COMMUNICATION & VERIFICATION 5.12.2 Phase Checking by Phasor Plot When a CT is installed on the incorrect phase, the indicated current vector is pointing either 180 degrees away (a split phase system) or 120 degrees away (a three-phase system) from the true displacement angle. In the latter case, this usually causes a significant decrease in the reported power factor, even if the CT is also on backwards.
COMMUNICATION & VERIFICATION 5.12.3 CT Orientation Check The VerifEye meter reports power and energy in each electrical quadrant under a different register. When CTs are installed backwards, the indicated current vector is oriented 180 degrees away from the true displacement angle. In accordance with standard definitions, the Wattage and VARs of the effected channel report with a sign opposite from what is expected.
COMMUNICATION & VERIFICATION 5.13 Power Factor Convention Power Factor is the ratio of a signed number (true power) and an unsigned number (apparent power). This discrepancy has led to some customer confusion. The VerifEye meter allows users to select between two conventions (ANSI &...
COMMUNICATION & VERIFICATION 5.15 Pre-Processing Aids The meter has several registers that can aid in pre-processing or post- processing data that otherwise may need seconday operations. Snap Thresholds The signal to noise ratio of the meter is above 80 db at full scale (1 part in 10,000).
