Safety
Denions and Symbols
HIGH VOLTAGE: This symbol indicates high voltage. It calls your aenon to items or
operaons that could be dangerous to you and other persons operaon this equipment.
Read the message and follow the instrucons carefully
Safety Instrucons and Informaon - Read before installaon
Installaon of the meter must be performed by qualied personnel only, who follow standard
safety precauons through the installaon procedures. Those personnel should have appropriate
training and experience with high voltage and current devices. Appropriate Personal Protecve
Equipment (PPE) must be worn when installing.
CAUTION: Indicates a potenally hazardous situaon which, if not avoided, can result injury,
or damage to the product. The situaon described in the CAUTION may, if not avoided, lead
to serious results. Important safety measures are described in CAUTION, so be sure to
observe them.
All meter terminals and current transformers and leads must be inaccessible to users of the meter
aer installaon.
For use with UL Listed Energy-Monitoring Current Transformers. Use of other current transformers
may result in injury, damage the meter and void the warranty.
Do NOT perform Dielectric (HIPOT) test to any inputs or connecons. High voltage tesng may
damage electronic components of the meter.
Applying more than the maximum voltage to the meter and/or its modules will permanently
damage the meter and/or its modules.
The current transformers are intended for installaon within the same rack or enclosure as the
DVA300 meter. Current transformers may not be installed within switchgears and panel boards.
Associated leads of the current transformers shall be maintained within the same overall rack or
enclosure.

HAZARDOUS LIVE INSTALLATION DURING APPLICATION AND REMOVAL OF THE CURRENT
TRANSFORMERS.
Part 1 - Installing Current Transformers
Current transformers must be UL Listed - Category XOBA
Current transformers must be used with single conductor cables only.
No metal clamps, bands or hold-downs should be used to secure the current transformers as it may
aect operaon.
The current transformer leads must not be extended, so be sure to mount the DVA300 meter within
reach of the current transformer leads.
The current transformers must be correctly facing the line and load of the conductor per the
manufacturer’s instrucons.
1) Install the current transformers on the X Phase, Y Phase, Z Phase, and Neutral single conductor cables. Be
sure to observe correct orientaon of line and load, per the current transformer manufacturer’s
instrucon.
Use of the incorrect current transformer may cause damage to the meter. 200A or 400A split core
current transformers are included.
Current transformers must be correctly rated for the primary current to be measured, and
have a rated output of 1A. Split core current transformers are recommended for exisng
installaons, allowing for easy installaon around conductors.
Current transformers must not block venlaon openings or otherwise restrict airow.

4) Aach the black and white wires from the current transformers to the 8-Posion current transformer
terminal block plug as per the following. Positon numbering is from le to right, facing the connector
from the wire entry side as shown here.

3) Route the black and white leads from current transformers to the area where the meter will mount.
Leads may cut to custom length. Be sure to allow enough length to allow the meter to be installed or
removed from the rack with the current transformer leads plugged into the meter.
5) Strip each wire from the current transformers back 7 mm (.275”) and insert into their respecve posion
in the terminal block plug as shown above and ghten the set-screw to 0.5 - 0.6 Nm (4.4—5.3 in/lbs.)

Part 3 - Installing the DVA300 Meter
7) Connect earthing wire to chassis earthing point on rear of the meter, and to a suitable earthing point in
the enclosure or rack the meter will be mounted in.
8) Connect current transformer plug to rear of meter and ghten screws 0.5 - 0.6 Nm (4.4—5.3 in/lbs.) to
secure connecon to meter.
9) Connect voltage plug to rear of meter and ghten screws 0.5 - 0.6 Nm (4.4—5.3 in/lbs.) to secure
connecon to meter.
10) Mount meter in rack using suitable hardware for use with the rack rail.
Installaon (connued)
Input power requirements: 100-135 VAC, 500 mA. Branch circuit protecon must be provided
for each phase, with a 20A maximum rang. Input wiring connecons must be rated 75
degrees C minimum.
The installer must determine the appropriate method of connecng the protecve Earth lead
to a suitable earthing point. Terminal block, ring terminals, or other suitable methods may be
used.

Operaon
Power On - The DVA300 is powered on automacally when the equipment to be metered is
powered on. There is no power switch.
Selecng a Phase or Neutral to be monitored - The rotary selector switch allows the user to
select a phase or Neutral to be monitored. The phase indicator window shows what phase, or
if Neutral is currently selected for monitoring.
Meter display colors - Voltage, amperage and frequency meters all illuminate green when
operang condions are normal. If voltage, amperage and frequency fall out of acceptable
range the meter display will change color to red.
Neutral to Ground measurements
●When monitoring Neutral to Ground, the voltage meter will illuminate red. Observe the
voltage numeric reading on the display. Under normal condions there should be Zero
voltage between neutral and ground.
●When monitoring Neutral to Ground, the frequency meter will be red under normal
condions. If the frequency meter is green it also indicates voltage between ground and
neutral.
●When the phase selector is in the N posion the ammeter will show current ow thru the
neutral .

Correct Voltage - Normal Operaon
When voltage is within range (108V to 128V),
the Green - Normal LED will be lit for that
phase.
Smart View™ allows users to monitor voltage condions of all three phases at a glance.
Under-Volt Warning
If an under-volt condion occurs on any phase
the Blue LED for that phase will begin to
illuminate at 108.5V and the green LED will
fade out at 105V.
Over-Volt Warning
If an over-volt condion occurs on any phase,
the Red - Above 128V LED will be lit for that
phase.
