1 Precautions ● Only qualified personnel or licensed electricians should install the WattNode meter. The mains voltages of 100 to 600 Vac can be lethal! ● Follow all applicable local and national electrical and safety codes. ● The terminal block screws are not insulated. Do not contact metal tools to the screw terminals if the circuit is live! ●...
Monitoring Device Continental Control Systems LLC ODBUS ® A−, D0, RxD−/TxD− A – Ground WND-WR-MB B+, D1, RxD+/TxD+ Common WHITE BLACK Source Faces Current Transformers Neutral Figure 1: Wiring Diagram 2.2 Electrical Service Types The WND-WR-MB meter supports any electrical service from 100 to 600 Vac, line-to-neutral or line- to-line, 50 to 60 Hz, single-phase, split-phase, or three-phase, wye or delta.

2.2.2 Single-Phase, Two-Wire, Line-to-Line This circuit occurs in residential (commonly 120/240 Vac) and some commercial applications (such as 208 or 480 Vac line-to-line). The meter will be powered from the V and V input terminals. Two CTs are typically used as shown below. ®...
2.2.5 Three-Phase, Four-Wire Wye This is a common commercial and industrial service that includes a neutral conductor. The CTs should be placed around the L1, L2 and L3 line conductors and connected to the CT1, CT2, and CT3 terminals respectively. The meter will be powered from the V , and V terminals.
3.3.2 Line Wiring ● Always turn off power before connecting the line voltages to the meter. ● For the line voltage wires, CCS recommends 18 to 12 AWG stranded wire, type THHN, MTW, or THWN, 600 V. ● Use copper conductors only. The screw terminals are only rated for copper wire.
The standard meter supports CTs with a 0.33333 Vac output (one-third volt). With the correct op- tions, the meter can support CTs with a 40 milliamp output: contact CCS for details. 3.4.1 Current Transformer Installation See the web article Selecting Current Transformers for information on selecting appropriate cur- rent transformers (CTs).

● Three conductors without shield: use the three conductors for the A-, B+, and C (common). If two of the conductors are twisted together, use those for the A- and B+ terminals. ● Three conductors with shield: use the three conductors for the A-, B+, and C (common). If two of the conductors are twisted together, use those for the A- and B+ terminals.
Use DIP switches 1-6 to select the Modbus address (1 to 63). DIP Switch Up (1) Value Address Examples 1, Up 0, Down 0, Down 0, Down 0, Down 0, Down 1+2+4 = 7 1, Up 1, Up 1, Up 0, Down 0, Down 0, Down 4+16 = 20 0, Down 0, Down...

4.2.2 Positive Power Any phase with the LEDs flashing green is indicating normal positive power. Green Off Green Off Green Off 4.2.3 No Power Any phase with a solid green LED indicates no power, but line voltage is present. Green 4.2.4 No Voltage Any phase LED that is off indicates no voltage on that phase.
