Installation

Disconnect the power necessary to make the installation
location electrically safe. If In-Site is installed at the point of
common coupling (service entrance), turn off the AC mains.
Install as close to Point of Common Coupling (PCC) as
possible while observing all local electrical standards i.e.
NFPA 70 and NFPA 70ETo ensure safety follow Lock Out Tag
Out (LOTO) procedures.


Install In-Site gateway within 20 ft of busbar (length of CT
secondary wiring).
 Note—Overcurrent protection devices (fuses) are installed in
the unit. Replace in kind if required.
 voltage measurement lines: ATDR2 – 600Vac Class CC
2A Time Delay 200kA
 Warning: the Rogowski coils are rated for 1000V CAT III. Do
not install in medium voltage location without provisions.
 Connect the Rogowski coil secondary wires for I1 - I4 to
terminals 1 — 12 per Figure 1 (below).
 Phases are color coded.
L1 Red 
L2 Yellow
L3 Blue
N White

 Pay special attention to the position of the Rogowski coil when wrapped around the conductor.

 Using installer-provided wiring install Mains AC voltage input wires for L1, L2, L3, Neutral and Ground (PE)
per Figure 2 (below) for a WYE configuration. If configuring a DELTA system, input wires for L1, L2, L3, and
Ground (PE).
 Install the antenna to connectors on the exterior of enclosure and check the cellular reception. If
the cellular reception is weak, install the antennas in a better location using the provided cables
and mounting bracket.
Enclosure Dimensions: 15.45” x 9.86” x
4.34. Overall (including mounting flange
and antenna): 22.82” x 11.50 x 4.34”
