Installation

  1. Plug the kit into power

  2. Unclasp the hinge of the CT and place it over the circuit you wish to monitor

    1. Pay special attention to the direction indicated on the CT. The arrow on the cover should point to the direction of the load (see picture below step 3)

  3. Repeat for each CT attached to the kit

  4. If CTs do not come pre-installed please see the CT Integration guide

Configuration

Make sure that you configure the CT appropriately in the Module Configuration tab. The most important parameter to set is the Value at max V field; enter the CT size, in amps, in this field. The CT number on the label will correspond to the same number input on the volt bridge.

Troubleshooting

If the CT is installed the wrong direction, no load will be read by the Volt bridge. You can remedy this by installing the CT in the other direction, or by swapping the wires on the Volt bridge.

Alternatively, the easiest way to make sure that the Volt bridge is oriented properly is by measuring the voltage of the wires using a Volt meter.
