FOLLOW ALL STATE AND FEDERAL ELECTRICAL
CODES.
▪ Using 14 AWG THHN, 600VAC rated wire, connect the
voltage leads (L1, L2, L3, and N) as necessary to the
meter through a dedicated disconnect or circuit breaker.
DO NOT EXCEED 346V L-N or 600V L-L.
▪ Mark the circuit breaker as "PowerScout Meter"

These diagrams show the wiring configuration for the Service Types available in the
Service drop-down list under "Meter Setup; Service " in ViewPoint HD Software.
The PowerScout HD Meter is internally powered through
i
the voltage between L1 and L2. For Single Phase
installations, where no L2 exists, connect a jumper from N
to L2. This connection provides power to the meter while
maintaining Neutral as the metering voltage reference.
i
The PowerScout HD Meter uses the Neutral terminal as a voltage reference. For
systems without a neutral conductor, connect a wire from the N terminal to ground.
CONNECTING VOLTAGE WIRING AND CTs TO THE METER
This image shows how to connect CTs to the PowerScout HD Meter for Three Phase services. For
other service types (Single Phase and Split Phase), see the Operator's Guide. Three Phase loads are
shown on the left only for illustration and may be used on the right as well. All meter elements are fully
configurable and interchangeable.
