1 INTRODUCTION
There are two meters in the VerifEye®series: the VerifEye 7000 and the VerifEye 7100.
These meters monitor the voltage, current, power, energy, and many other electrical
parameters on single and three-phase electrical systems. A VerifEye meter uses direct
connections to each phase of the voltage and current transformers to monitor each
phase of the current. Information on energy use, demand, power factor, line frequency,
and more are derived from these voltage and current inputs.
The VerifEye meter is not meant to be a standalone energy recorder; rather it is
connected as a slave device to a data logger, Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), or Building
Management host network. The VerifEye meter communication interfaces include
Ethernet (LAN), or RS-485 serial. BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU are the two
communication protocols that operate over an RS-485 serial network and BACnet IP and
Modbus TCP are supported over Ethernet. A USB port is also provided as the preferred
connection for on-site configuration and can be run concurrently with an RTU.
1.1 Unpacking the Unit

2.1 Project Manager Aspects
Meter installation often includes coordination between individuals or groups of
people with different responsibilities. Spend a few minutes considering who will
be executing each portion of the installation and what tools are needed at each
stage. Things to consider include determining how to communicate with the
meter, setting address configuration, installing S7 Configuration Utilities, access
to PIN numbers, etc. The more tasks completed before installation the fewer
tasks will be needed in the field. The following section gives an overview of
typical process activities followed by details in the next section.
2.1.1 Configuration & Data Viewing Options
The VerifEye meter has three methods for configuration and data viewing. The
most powerful interface is a Microsoft Windows application (S7 Configuration
Utilities ) that runs on PCs or tablets. S7 Configuration Utilities is encouraged
for complex installations and is required for configuring advanced functions like
alarms. The second interface is the VerifEye Web App and is intended for smart
phones or tablets that can connect over USB, or Ethernet. The third interface is
an optional LCD display which is intended for intermittent end-user observation
and is restricted in capability. The RTU can also be used for configuration
if communication settings are already established. The feature set of each
interface is summarized next.

3 METER CONFIGURATION
This section is written to support setting up the VerifEye in an office environment and
configuring the power meter for a pre-determined configuration. In many cases, the
setup is standardized for an organization or project. In other cases, the setup can be
documented and emailed to an installer. The setup can also be performed on-site and
reflect “as-built” configurations.
3.1 Install the S7 Configuration Utilities Software
Insert the S7 Configuration Utilities thumb drive into the computer or download
from the Leviton FTP site. (qualified Leviton personnel only). The installer
should start automatically. If it does not, browse the thumb drive and locate the
S7ConfigurationUtilities.exe program, double-click on it, and follow the
installer instructions.
Custom Installation
For users who want to specify the location of the S7 Configuration Utilities
software and support files, double-click the folder [Install Files] and run setup.
exe. This will prompt the user for additional details.
3.1.1 Connection & Configuration Options Using S7 Configuration Utilities
When the S7 Configuration Utilities application is launched, it will prompt the
user to select one of four connectivity options.
• Connect over USB cable
• Connect over Ethernet to a Predetermined IP address
• Scan Network
• Create Setup file only (no meter connected)
NOTE: The USB connection method is
recommended for new users who have physical
access to the meter using a USB A to B cable.

3 METER CONFIGURATION
3.1.2 USB Connection (Power & Communications)
1. Connect the VerifEye meter to a USB port of your computer to provide both
power and communications.
a. If equipped, the LCD display is the most visible indication of a
running meter.
b. For meters without a display, a green flashing LED on the circuit board
indicates that the VerifEye meter has booted and is running.
CAUTION: The VerifEye meter draws 450mA from the USB port. Be sure
the USB host is industry standard otherwise overloading may occur. If the
meter fails to power, or flickers when powering over USB, an alternate
configuration for power must be used.
2. Launch the S7 Configuration Utilities application and select
[CONNECT OVER USB] on the pop up window.
The meter should now be communicating. The S7 Configuration Utilities
application offers visual guides and context help to facilitate meter configuration.
Please read the S7 Configuration Utilities overview section for additional
information on configuring the meter. By default, VerifEye meters are configured
for DNS Ethernet addressing. A very common configuration sequence is using
USB to configure a meter for Ethernet communications at a static IP address
and then switching from USB over to Ethernet to locate it. This is facilitated in S7
Configuration Utilities by selecting [Refresh Connectivity] located in the upper
right hand corner.
3.1.3 Ethernet Network Connections
Configuring the meter over Ethernet requires that the meter be powered used a
second connection. The meter does not support Power Over Ethernet (POE). If
the meter is already installed within the buildings electrical network, closing the
AC breaker (or approved disconnect) will turn on the meter through the meter’s
internal power supply.
NOTE: In the rare case that a computer’s USB port cannot provide 500mA of
current, an AC / USB charger or a USB battery can be used as a power source
while using Ethernet for communications.
NOTE: Both the Network Scan and Connect Over Ethernet to IP options
require that a valid network connection exists between the VerifEye meter and
configuration PC.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP):
VerifEye meters are shipped in DHCP mode to prevent IP conflicts with other
equipment. The meter is expecting to receive an IP address from a DHCP
service provided by a router, Layer 3 switch, or a server providing DHCP
service. Under this configuration, as long as the VerifEye meter and the host PC
are requesting an IP address from the same DHCP service provider, they will
be able to communicate. Upon powering up, the VerifEye meter will indicate the
IP address on the LCD display (if equipped) or can be found using the Network
Scan function.

3 METER CONFIGURATION
Direct
When a PC is directly connected to a VerifEye meter via an ethernet cable,
no DHCP service exists. This configuration can be made to work, but requires
changes to either the meter communication settings or the PC
network configuration.
LCD Display
For units equipped with an LCD display, navigate to
Communications > Ethernet Settings > DHCP > OFF
Change the IP address in the meter to match the subnet of your PC’s IP
address, making the meter IP unique, or note the current address on the meter
and prepare to configure your PC’s IP settings as shown below.

> Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
> Properties
Change Computer IP Address and Subnet Mask to 192.168.1.100 and
255.255.255.000 respectively.
Once the PC and VerifEye meter are set to communicate on the same
IP subnet:
1.Launch the S7 Configuration Utilities application and enter the IP address of
the meter (shown as the factory default).
2.Select [Connect over Ethernet to:] on the pop up window.
3.The meter should now be communicating. S7 Configuration Utilities is an
intuitive application; read the S7 Configuration Utilities overview section for
additional information on configuring the meter.
No LCD Display
A VerifEye meter without a display can only communicate directly with a PC over
ethernet if the IP address of the meter is set to static. Setting the IP address
must be done ahead of time using another interface (such as USB or serial).
WEB VERSION

8
3 METER CONFIGURATION
Network Scan
Network Scan is a feature for monitoring previously installed and configured
VerifEye meters over an Ethernet network. Network Scan will broadcast a UDP
discovery packet on the same network as the PC running the S7 Configuration
Utilities application. Normally this will be performed on a corporate network
running DHCP. Any VerifEye meter that responds will be displayed in a table
that includes the system description register, IP address, serial number, and
communication configuration.
Highlight the desired meter and select OK, Test or Setup. Note that the
effectiveness of this technique is highly dependent on the configuration of the
PC running S7 Configuration Utilities (which may have more than one network
card) and the network configuration. Rescans can be used to make multiple
attempts to locate a particular meter on busy networks (UDP has no built-in
retry provisions).
Launch Configurator
The final option in the S7 Configuration Utilities Connect to Meter pop-up
window is Launch Configurator. This option allows for the creation of a meter
setup or alarm table for future use without connecting to a meter. After prompting
the user for a meter model, the S7 Configuration Utilities application launches
under a mode with restricted functionality. This mode operates on files only.

3 METER CONFIGURATION
3.2.4 Configuring Alarms in S7 Configuration Utilities
The VerifEye power meter has the ability to set alarms for over and under
conditions for voltage and current on any meter channel.
Configuration Input Methods
S7 Configuration Utilities uses dynamic entry for the specification of Alarm
settings. Whichever text entry field is selected becomes the forcing condition
and the other related fields are updated by calculation to reflect a consistent
set of conditions. The text entry fields in grey are Configuration and are NOT
retained by the meter. Only the fields with a black background are stored in the
meters memory or in configuration files
Nominal Values
Entering alarm thresholds based on “percent of nominal” values is helpful
when alarm conditions are desired to be centered around electrical
components or industry standard conditions. For example, an over current
alarm may be set to 80% of an installed circuit breaker to alert when that
breaker exceeds NEC recommendations.
Absolute Values
Entering alarms based on absolute value is a matter of entering the
triggering values directly in the register fields (black background).

3 METER CONFIGURATION
3.2.5 Setting the Real Time Clock
The VerifEye meter includes a Real Time Clock. The clock is used only to time
stamp Interval Data in the log, it is not used for calculation within the meter.
For those customers using the IDR function of the meter, it is helpful (but not
strictly necessary) to set the real time clock so that data records can be uniquely
identified. The time can be set using S7 Configuration Utilities, under the
Advanced Tab, by clicking on the small time icon in the bottom right corner of
the clock.
The clock icon launches the Window Calendar and allows the user to choose
desired date and time. Set Time to Now populates the current time. Click OK to
commit this time to the RTC chip onboard the meter.
Real Time Clock Power Source
The RTC integrated circuit is a stand alone low power circuit within the VerifEye
meter. Time is kept in the absence of a connected external power source (AC or
USB power) by a super capacitor. The capacitor can keep the RTC running over
normal power outages (days to weeks) but is not expected to keep time while
the meter is being stored or shipped.
NOTE: It is recommended that users desiring to use the Interval Data
Recording capability of the VerifEye meter ensure the Real Time Clock is set
as part of the commissioning process.
