MOUNTING POSITION - The MPG-1 can be mounted in any position. Two mounting holes are provided. The
MPG-1 must be mounted in a non-metalic enclosure or somewhere where it can receive the streaming wireless
information from the meter without interference. The MPG-1 must be mounted within about 75 feet from your meter.
Distances vary with building construction and proximity to the meter. For best results, mount as close to the meter
as possible. The pulse output lines from the MPG-1 may be run longer distances, but the MPG-1 should have
uninterrupted access for best results. Choose a mounting location that will not have any metalic parts -- moving or
stationary -- that can affect the RF field.
POWER INPUT - The MPG-1 is powered by an AC voltage of between 90 and 300 volts. For 120VAC, connect the
AC supply's "hot" wire to the L1 terminal. For 208 to 277VAC, connect the AC supply's "hot" wire to the L2 terminal.
Connect the NEU terminal to the AC supply's "neutral" wire. Connect GND to electrical system Ground.
METER INPUT - The MPG-1 receives data from a Zigbee-equipped AMI electric meter that has been paired with a
RAVEn Zigbee USB receiver. The RAVEn USB receiver must be paired with the meter before it can be used. Once
paired & inserted into the USB port, the MPG-1 starts receiving demand information from the meter. (See Page 3.)
OUTPUTS - Two 3-wire isolated outputs are provided on the MPG-1, with output terminals K1, Y1 & Z1 and K2, Y2,
& Z2. Transient suppression for the contacts of the solid-state relays is provided internally. The output loads should
be limited to 100 mA at 120 VAC/VDC. Maximum power dissipation of each output is 800mW. The outputs are
protected by fuses F1& F2. One-tenth (1/10) Amp fuses (the maximum size) are supplied standard.
OPERATION - See the following pages for a full explanation of the operation of the MPG-1.
