Packet Power™ Wireless Multi-Channel Current Monitor User Manual Version 1.0 Packet Power, LLC 2716 Summer St NE Minneapolis, MN 55413 1-877-560-8770 Email: info@packetpower.com www.packetpower.
CAUTION! Read all instructions carefully prior to installation. The AC to 5V DC power supply shall utilize appropriate overcurrent protection. The Wireless Current Monitor must only be connected to a low voltage 5 VDC power source. Do not connect directly to any line sources. Certain current transformers (CTs) connected to this device may have dangerously high voltage present on their terminals or leads when monitoring live loads.

Packet Power™ Wireless Current Monitoring Module Manual Introduction Current Monitoring Module Overview Monitoring Capabilities The CMM provides current monitoring for up to six separate conductors using externally connected current transducers. It also provides a reading of the ambient temperature within the CMM enclosure. The device is powered by a 5 VDC source which can be from the available “universal voltage micro power supply” or another compatible 5 VDC source.
Packet Power™ Wireless Current Monitoring Module Manual Packet Power Solution Overview Communications The CMM communicates using Packet Power’s wireless network. As soon as a CMM is installed and powered up, it automatically tries to join the wireless network. If you already have an operating Packet Power network within your facility all information from the CMM will shortly become accessible.
Packet Power™ Wireless Current Monitoring Module Manual Figure 1: Packet Power Wireless Network Architecture Installation Safety prerequisites The CMM should be installed only by qualified technicians with a solid understanding of electrical wiring and devices. Familiarity with and understanding of all terms used in this section is assumed.
Packet Power™ Wireless Current Monitoring Module Manual 5. Power Supply Connector Kit (not shown) Figure 2: CMM system components Mounting the CMM The CMM mounts in any standard electrical enclosure by placing a 1” NPT hole in the enclosure. The threaded tube of the module is placed in the hole, and the bezel nut is used to secure the CMM against the enclosure surface. Comment [SV1]: The diameter of a 1" NPT hole is 1.
Packet Power™ Wireless Current Monitoring Module Manual Installing the universal power supply. The universal power supply will provide a 5 VDC source to the remote interface board when an alternate 5 VDC source is not available. The power supply shall be wired to an AC source and shall have a means of overcurrent protection and disconnect from the upstream source. The input range for the power supply is 90-264 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz.
Packet Power™ Wireless Current Monitoring Module Manual 4. The CT must meet all local and national safety requirements relevant to the installation, including but not limited to maximum voltage and any other relevant mechanical requirements. 5. The output of the CT must be compatible with the CMM and the CMM Interface Board. 6. The CMM has to be configured for the correct CT type and model (it is not auto ranging). 7.
Packet Power™ Wireless Current Monitoring Module Manual Wiring the CMM FOLLOW ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE WIRING THE CMM. 1. Place the CT interface board and power supply in the optimal locations using adhesive tabs or using the holes provided (use PCBA stand offs when mounting the CMM interface board). The CMM, power supply and all connections must be fully enclosed. 2. Connect the ribbon cable from the interface board to the CMM module.
Packet Power™ Wireless Current Monitoring Module Manual Figure 6: CT polarity and orientation LED readings and indicator lights The CMM has 4 large alpha-numeric LEDs that provide for local display of monitoring data and x small lights adjacent to the LEDs that provide operating status information. The CMM can be configured to display all or some of the following data via the numeric LEDs. The order of display can also be customized.
