Page 7: Section 2: Overview
Ensure that the type of voltage service that is present in the equipment you are monitoring matches the type indicated on the label of the BGS72. The BGS72 cannot be used on 480V equipment if access to N is not present nor on 600/347V circuits. The BGS72 is powered from the voltage source it is monitoring.
Page 8: Communication
Each Gateway can support up to eleven BGS72s; additional Gateways can be added for capacity or redundancy. The BGS72 must be able to establish a wireless connection either directly to a Gateway or to another Packet Power wireless device.

BGS72. If a three-pole breaker is not used, you must ensure suitable over-current protection is provided. The BGS72 comes pre-wired. It is configured to work with one of the supported voltage types. Unless otherwise specified, the unit has inline fuses on each voltage phase. The wire count and color mix will vary based on the voltage service type (see diagrams on the following pages).

Page 18 Packet Power Multi-Circuit Monitor BGS72 User Manual V2.0 Connect CTs to conductors 1. Disconnect power to the BGS72 if possible. If it is not possible to disconnect power, always treat CT leads as though they carry line voltages. Work on live panels must only be performed by qualified personnel.
Page 19 Packet Power Multi-Circuit Monitor BGS72 User Manual V2.0 Connect Rogowski coils to conductors 1. Disconnect power to the BGS72 if possible. If it is not possible to disconnect power, always treat the coil leads as though they carry line voltages. Work on live panels must only be performed by qualified personnel.
Page 20: Section 4: Operations
Each BGS72 has a unique 16-digit ID number that can be found on a label located on the outside of the unit in the top left corner. Each component meter also has a unique 16-digit ID number on the meter’s front label.
Page 21: Shutdown
Shutdown No special preparation is required prior to shutdown. Using a customer-provided disconnect such as a 3-pole breaker, simply shut off power to the BGS72. Note that this disables power to the monitoring unit only. The conductors on which the CTs are installed will still have live load and must be treated accordingly, and the panel itself will still have live voltage and present a risk of electrocution.
Page 22 If a number of readings are missing, ensure the CT Interconnect Cable is securely connected to the associated CT Interconnect Board. If the BGS72 powers on but no meters are able to establish communications with a Gateway, contact Packet Power support.
