  • Page 5 Table 1 above lists the WattNode models and common circuit types. In the “Electrical Service Types” column, when two voltages are listed with a slash between them, they indicate the line-to- neutral / line-to-line voltages. The “Line-to-Neutral” and “Line-to-Line” columns show the operating ranges for the WattNode meters.

    3 Installation 3.1 Installation Checklist See the sections referenced below for installation details. □ Turn off power before making line voltage connections. □ Mount the WattNode meter (see 3.2). □ Connect circuit breakers or fuses and disconnects (see 3.3.1). □ Connect the line voltage wires to the meter’s green terminal block (see 3.3.2).
  • Page 8: Connect Current Transformers

    3.3.2 Line Wiring ● Always turn off power before connecting the line voltage inputs to the meter. ● For the line voltage wires, CCS recommends 16 to 12 AWG stranded wire, type THHN, MTW, or THWN, 600 V. ● Do not place more than one voltage wire in a screw terminal; use separate wire nuts or termi- nal blocks if needed.
  • Page 9: Connect The Output Signals

    Install the CTs around the conductor to be measured and connect the CT leads to the meter. Al- ways turn off power before disconnecting any live conductors. Split-core CTs can be opened for installation around a conductor. A nylon cable tie may be se- cured around the CT to prevent inadvertent opening.

    Maximum Power Supply Voltage Range: -20% to +15% of nominal (see table above). For the 3D-240 service, this is -20% of 208 Vac (166 Vac) to +15% of 240 Vac (276 Vac). Operating Frequencies: 50/60 Hz Measurement Category: CAT III Measurement category III is for measurements performed in the building installation or on the load side of the main service breaker.
