EG4xxx Owner's Manual
Use a laptop or another computer to connect to the device's built-in web-server
(see next section). Then, as described in the Configuration Guide, Tools Chan-
nel Checker can be used to confirm that:
1. All voltages have the expected values (use voltage meter to verify).
2. All CTs report the expected currents (use clamp-on current meter to verify).
3. CTs are indeed installed on the phases set under Settings Installation.
The voltage between the wire that the CT is clamped onto and the power-
plug pin (L1-L3) that corresponds to the phase it is configured for should
be zero Volts.
4. All reported power values have expected polarity and power-factors. As a
general rule, EG4xxx convention requires that power coming into the site
shows as positive values and power being consumed at or diverted from the
site shows as negative values.
Also confirm that the EG4xxx dash-board shows a red line for total consumption.
Assuming all power coming into a site is measured by the device, this line should
never dip into the negative. As a final check, it is helpful to turn on and off some
large loads to confirm everything operates as expected. If there is a renewable
energy system on site, turning it on/off should not appreciably affect the red line
(total consumption).
