Page 6: Overview
PAN-42 Sensor installation guide Overview The PAN-42 wireless power sensor provides high-accuracy real-time power and power quality measurements for mains power monitoring, sub- metering and metering of large loads. Designed for demanding electrical applications, supporting industry accuracy standards, PAN-42 enables the metering of power, voltage, current, power factor and power quality measurement data. -
Page 7: Safety Precautions
PAN-42 Sensor installation guide Safety precautions Read the instructions in this manual before installing, and take note of the following precautions: Ensure that all incoming AC power and other power sources are • turned before performing any work or connecting the PAN-42. Failure to do so may result in serious or even fatal injury and/or equipment damage. -

PAN-42 Sensor installation guide Figure 1. Hardware measurements Electrical connections PAN-42 supports the following phase configurations: 1. Single-phase – 120VAC (US) or 230VAC (EU) phase-neutral Supported voltage range: 110-277 VAC phase-neutral In this configuration, the single voltage line (phase and neutral) should be connected to L1 &... - Page 9 PAN-42 Sensor installation guide 3. 3-phase 4-wire (wye) – 120/208VAC (US), 277/480VAC (US), or 230/380VAC (EU) Supported voltage range: 110-277VAC phase-neutral / 190-480VAC phase-phase In this configuration, all three voltage lines & neutral should be connected to L1, L2, L3 & N, and three CTs should be connected to I1, I2 &...
- Page 10 PAN-42 Sensor installation guide 5. 3-phase 4-wire (wye) – 346/600VAC (Canada) Since this voltage is beyond the rated voltage range of PAN-42, potential transformers must be used on each of the three voltage inputs. The PTs’ primary windings should be connected between each phase and neutral, and the secondary windings should be connected to L1, L2, L3 &...

PAN-42 Sensor installation guide 3-phase 3-wire (delta) 346/600VAC configuration Note: PAN-42 does not support a 3-phase high-leg delta configuration. Important notes 1. Voltage lines must be connected through a current-limiting device. Current protection should be maximum 1A per phase. It is advised to use in-line rail-mount fuse holders. -
Page 12: Mapping The Site
PAN-42 Sensor installation guide Mapping the site Sensors are installed at the electrical panel of the mains and/or devices you wish to monitor. Per zone or panel, a Bridge must be installed within range to collect the sensor data. Visit our Knowledge Base Center to learn more about how to install Bridges and map sensors. -
Page 13: Installing The Sensor
PAN-42 Sensor installation guide Connection wires to PAN-42 The CTs’ secondary outputs are connected to the PAN-42 sensor’s current input terminals. The wires used to connect the CTs to PAN-42 (through shorting switches) should have the following characteristics: 1. Gauge: 0.5-4.0mm (12-20 AWG) 2. - Page 14 PAN-42 Sensor installation guide neutral wire, connect it to the ‘N’ terminal. Refer to the Electrical Connections section above for more details about connecting different phase configurations. b. Make sure each phase is connected through a current limiting device (see the ‘Current limiting devices’ section for details). c.

PAN-42 Sensor installation guide Important notes Do not mount the CT on the hot wire before you have already connected its outputs to the PAN-42 sensor, or to the shorting switch, making sure the switch is in its closed state! If a PAN-42 sensor needs to be replaced, put the suggested shorting switches in their closed states before... -
Page 16: Current Limiting Devices
PAN-42 Sensor installation guide Current limiting devices For each voltage phase connected to the PAN-42 sensor, a current-limiting device must be connected in series. Modular rail-mount fuse holders are recommended. For installations with more than one phase, one multiple-phase fuse holder should be used, so that all phases are disconnected at once when the fuse holder is put in the open position. -
Page 17: Potential Transformers
PAN-42 Sensor installation guide Potential transformers When connecting the PAN-42 sensor to a panel with phase-neutral voltages over 277VAC (such as 346/600VAC systems in Canada), it is necessary to use potential transformers (PTs) at the voltage inputs (see the ‘Electrical connections’ section above for connection diagrams). PTs must be chosen so that their output (secondary) voltage is always within PAN-42’s input voltage range (110-277VAC phase-neutral). -
