1 ECM-1240 Energy Consumption Monitor The ECM-1240 packages are available with or without wireless communication option. NET Metering Capable for Measuring: Energy Consumed Energy Generated NET Energy (purchased - sold) The ECM-1240 is a seven channel electrical power monitor. It is designed to monitor entire panel consumption in addition to sub-panels or individual branch circuits. The seven true power monitoring channels consist of two main channels (CH1 & CH2) and five auxiliary channels (AUX1-5). The two main channels are capable of net metering which allows measurement of power consumed or generated, such as is the case for renewable energy installations. Although not restricted for net metering, CH1 and CH2 are typically used for monitoring the entire home consumption on one channel and a sub-panel or large load on the other channel. The five AUX channels may each monitor one or more 120V, a 240V load or combinations of each. All channels measure true power energy which is what you are charged for by the power company. The measured energy consumption is made available in real-time for storing, viewing and analyzing using a computer. The data is also logged internally for later retrieval. The standard ECM-1240 device is equipped with an RS-232 communication port which may be connected directly to a computer s RS-232 port. We optionally have available, RS-232 to USB converter or RS-232 to Ethernet gateways for USB or Ethernet connection. The ECM-1240 is also available with a wireless communication option which includes a built in radio module (XBee module from Digi International These radios operate on a ZigBee mesh network.

13 Communication Options The communication options fall under two general categories: Wired Wireless Wired Communication Options (non wireless): Serial to USB adaptor: Used to connect the ECM-1240 to a computer s USB port for communication. For extended cable lengths, the RS-232 cable should be extended since RS-232 does not have the same limitation that USB does. The adaptor is powered via the USB port. EP-1 EtherPort Gateway The EtherPort provides a gateway for the ECM-1240 s RS-232 data to be accessible on a network or internet via TCP/IP. Comes with: 5V regulated power supply 3ft Ethernet Cable The EtherX Configuration Software is used to setup the IP settings. This application is downloadable from our website. MUX-1 Passive RS-232 Multiplex Cable The MUX-1 provides a means for two or three ECM-1240 to share the same RS-232 communication port. It may be used to connect directly to an RS-232 port, Serial-to-USB Adaptor or EtherPort (serial to Ethernet). No PIC

14 Wireless Communication Options: XB , XB , XB The XB-1240 option is the inclusion of the wireless XBee module built into the ECM-1240 monitor, allowing wireless communication with one of the following optional gateways: Wireless Communication Option Wireless Dongle (Wireless to USB) EtherBee (Wireless to Ethernet) The part number suffix of -1, -2 and -3 refers to the number of ECM-1240 devices included in the package. For example, ECM-1240 PKG J/200 would require part number XB in order to have the wireless option installed in both ECM-1240 devices. The module communicates using ZigBee mesh networking protocol. Unlike RS-232 communication, there is no need for a multiplex adaptor when using more than one ECM-1240, or combination of ECM-1240/ECM-1220 wirelessly. The gateway (coordinator) has the ability to listen to all devices and send a command to any individual monitor. *ZigBee is a trademark of the ZigBee Alliance *XBee is a trademark of the Digi International This option includes a built-in wireless radio on to the ECM-1240 from any of the available ECM Packages. NOTE: The wireless module should not be installed by the user. Certain modifications are required along with device re-calibration. U2Z ECM Wireless Dongle The Wireless Dongle provides a gateway for wireless communication with an ECM-1240 having the XB-1240 wireless option, via a USB port. The Dongle plugs into the computer and is configured as a ZigBee coordinator. The XBee radio may also be configured or flash upgraded direct via USB communication.

15 EB-1 EtherBee Gateway The EtherBee provides wireless communication with an ECM-1240 via TCP/IP. (The ECM-1240 must have the XB-1240 wireless option installed) The EtherBee comes with: 5V regulated power supply 3ft Ethernet Cable The EtherX Configuration Software is used to setup the IP settings. This application is downloadable from our website. XBee Repeater The XBee Repeater is used to increase the communication range of the ECM-1240 (with wireless option). Since communication is on a mesh network, the repeater connects itself to the Personal Area Network (PAN) and is able to forward packets to two ZigBee devices which are out of range with each other. The repeater is powered via a standard outlet. The power connection may also be plugged into a USB port for configuring the settings if needed. *XBee is a trademark of the Digi International *ZigBee is a trademark of the ZigBee Alliance

16 Current Transformer (CT) The general CT types available are: Split-Core Donut (Solid Core) Clamp-On SPLIT-CORE CTs: SPLIT-200 CT Pair: This set of two CTs is for use on CH1 or CH2 of the ECM-1240 (Not compatible with the AUX channels). Two CTs are required for a single 200A panel. The two CTs are typically connected together on a single channel (CH1 or CH2). They may also be each connected to a separate dedicated channel if desired, providing a breakdown measurement of Line1 and Line2. Single SPLIT-200 CT specification: High Accuracy +/- 1% Capable of more than 200A continuous.98 ID x 2.67 OD x ft cable, 300V rated High quality hinge and snap mechanism UL/c listed SPLIT-150 CT Pair: This set of two CTs is for use on CH1 or CH2 of the ECM-1240 (Not compatible with the AUX channels). Two CTs are required for a service panel and are typically connected together to a single channel (CH1 or CH2). The rectangular CT design provides a solution for panels using flat buss-bars instead to round wires. The rectangular shape of the bussbar inhibits the installation of standard circular shaped split-core CTs. The SPLIT-150 solves this dilemma due to its unique shape. The SPLIT-150 is rated for 170A, but may be used on a 200A panel since panel current rarely exceeds 80% of the rated current.

17 Single SPLIT-150 CT specification: High Accuracy +/- 1% Capable of 170A continuous Output: 150A (may be modified for up to 170A) Inside Geometry: 1.05 x 0.8 Outside Geometry: 2.34 x 2 Depth: meter cable, 300V rated High quality hinge and snap mechanism UL/c listed (pending) TT-100_1K *** For use with the AUX channels The TT-100 Split-Core CTs are the only split type CTs currently compatible with the AUX channels. The Aux channel may measure a total of 160A when using these CTs. High Accuracy +/- 1% Capable of more than 160A continuous Max measured load conductor size: ID x 2.67 OD x meter cable 300V rated Insulated Plastic Case Recognized According to UL 94 V0 If required, the TT-100_1K may be used on the ECM-1240 s CH1 or CH2 with the addition of a shunt resistor. SPLIT-100 CT Pair: This set of two CTs is for use on CH1 or CH2 of the ECM-1240 (Not compatible with the AUX channels). Two CTs are required for a single 100A panel. The two CTs are typically connected together on a single channel (CH1 or CH2). They may also be each connected to a separate dedicated channel if desired, providing a breakdown measurement of Line1 and Line2. Single SPLIT-100 CT specification: High Accuracy +/- 1% Rated 100A continuous Output: 100A Max measured load conductor size: ft cable, 300V rated 1.22 x 1.23 x 1.76 (31mm x 31.4mm x 4.6mm) UL/c listed

18 SPLIT-60 CT Pair: This set of two CTs is for use on CH1 or CH2 of the ECM-1240 (Not compatible with the AUX channels). These are perfect for 60A service panels. The SPLIT-60 CTs are typically used in situations where it may be too cumbersome to install a donut style CT on a given panel or panel circuit. Two CTs are required for a 240V load and are typically connected together to a single channel. They may also be each connected to a separate channel if desired. Single SPLIT-60 CT specification: High Accuracy +/- 1% Rated 60A continuous Output: 60A Max measured load conductor size: 3/8 6ft cable, 300V rated 1.0 x 1.04 x 1.57 (25.5mm x 26.5mm x 40mm) UL/c listed

Future production with have the UL/c mark.

20 CLAMP-ON STYLE CT: CLAMP-100 CT: The CLAMP-100 clamp-on current probe is designed for easy clamping onto a current carrying conductor for metering the current flow. This CT is perfect for field monitoring where the CT is temporarily installed. Although compatable for use with the ECM-1240 s CH1 and CH2, it s higher cost and larger footprint compared to the split or donut type CTs, makes it less attractive for permanent installations. The CLAMP-100 uses a high quality FeNanoCrystalline core material, the CLAMP-100 provides high accuracy, low phase shift and excellent linearity. 100 Amp Clamp-On Current Transformer Max Current: 120A Continuous High Accuracy (±0.5% 5A to 120A) Excellent Linearity Max Conductor Size: 25mm (.98 ) Output: 100A 6 Foot Cable, 300V rated Material: Polypropylene Resin Phase Shift 1 o Insulation: VDC Hi-Pot: 2500V/Min Frequency 50Hz 1KHz Operating Temperature: -25 o C to +75 o C
