3Product Overview
The SS9005 Mini Three Phase Meter is a compact power metering and load switching device that can
be used to monitor three phase electrical loads or up to three individual single phase circuits.
Designed to sit on a standard switchboard DIN rail, the SS9005 has the same form factor as a
standard Residual Current Device, and accepts a wide range of external Current Transformers.
The SS9005 Mini Three Phase Meter is suitable for a range of applications including sub-metering,
Demand Management, autonomous load shedding, and site automation.
The SS9005 Mini Three Phase Meter is designed to meter and switch a wide range of single and
three-phase loads at up to 240VAC. Load switching is performed by an internal isolated relay that
can be used to trigger an external third-party contactor or relay. Designed to function in all major
electrical networks, the Mini Three Phase Meter boasts a high measurement accuracy (<1% error)
with a customizable reporting frequency of up to 1Hz. Import/export energy accumulations and true
signed active and reactive power measurements make the SS9005 an ideal choice for monitoring
renewable generation sources and energy storage devices.
Three phase consumption is tracked independently to provide instantaneous three phase power and
accurate three phase import/export energy readings. In addition to providing power factor
information for each monitored circuit, voltage phase separation angles are reported to enable
back-office reconstruction of full polar plots for three phase circuits.
High-resolution waveform sampling features provide unique insight into the behaviour and
condition of monitored loads, yielding detailed information for load profiling and classification
purposes.
Once installed, the Mini Three Phase Meter can receive important software updates over the
network, reducing the cost of network maintenance and guaranteeing an up-to-date feature set for
all devices in the field.
The SS9005 Mini Three Phase Meter communicates to other Saturn Energy devices using the ZigBee
communications standard in the 2.4GHz ISM band. All wireless communications to and from the
device are secured with AES-128 encryption using standards based technologies to ensure privacy
and data integrity.
Important:
The SS9005 Mini Three Phase Meter is not rated as a protection device, and must be placed
downstream of an approved protection device.

5Commissioning and Installation Instructions
5.1 Before Installation
The individual performing the installation must have access to the commissioning tools provided by
the Energy Services Company (ESCo).
An SS9002 ESBox or other compatible ZigBee network coordinator device must be present at the
site, and be authorised to communicate with a control server provided by the ESCo.
The radio environment at the location of installation may be tested to ensure the new device will be
able to connect to the existing ZigBee network. For more information on radio environment test
equipment and procedures, please contact Saturn South.
There are two stages to device installation:
1. Installation - Identify the circuit(s) and phase(s) on which the device will be used, confirm
that there is sufficient space to mount the device.
2. Commissioning - Wire the device into the switchboard as per the guidelines below and apply
power.
5.2 Installation
The SS9005 Mini Three Phase Meter is designed to be straightforward to install into a standard
domestic or commercial switchboard.
The following steps should be followed to install the device:
1. Identify the circuits that are to be monitored by the device. Note the major appliance(s) or
load(s) that the circuits are connected to for future reference, and if necessary make a note
of the device's HAN address.
2. Ensure that there is adequate mounting space for the device within the switchboard.
The SS9005 Mini Three Phase Meter draws power from the phase connected to the ‘A’ terminal, and
requires at least 70VAC on terminal ‘A’ relative to Neutral (terminal ‘N’) to operate. A connection to
each phase being monitored is required to provide a reference for high accuracy voltage
measurements.
The reference phase connected to the each phase input terminal must be the same phase from
which the load current is to be sensed by the corresponding clip-on Current Transformer (i.e. CTA
must be monitoring a load on the same phase that is connected to the ‘A’ phase input terminal), and
must be drawn downstream from an existing or dedicated protection device (e.g. MCB or RCD).

8
IMPORTANT:
The phase connected to each phase input terminal must match the phase being monitored
by the respective CT, or the meter will not generate accurate measurements.
Upstream protection devices must be selected such that the cable gauge for the reference inputs to
the SS9005 do not exceed the maximum gauge indicated in the technical specifications.
The three phase input terminals, marked ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’, are shown in the image above.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure the sources of the reference phases are isolated before performing these steps.
The SS9005 Mini Three Phase Meter is not rated as a protection device and may only be
connected to a circuit that is protected up-stream by an approved circuit breaker.
The maximum voltage permitted between the Neutral (‘N’) terminal and any of the phase
input terminals (‘A’, ‘B’, or ‘C’) is 240VAC. Exceeding this limit may cause permanent
damage to the product. Ensure that the Neutral wire is connected correctly before
powering on the device.
1. Mount the device in the switchboard.
2. Wire the Current Transformers (CTs) to the device, taking care to match the coloured CT
leads with the appropriate "CTX " (black) and "CTX " (white) terminals.
3. Clip each CT on to the target load conductor, ensuring that the arrow on the CT points
towards the load (away from the grid). If monitoring a generator, ensure the arrow points
towards the generator (away from the grid).
4. Connect the output of a MCB, RCD, or other protection device to each of the required phase
reference terminals of the Mini Three Phase Meter, and a neutral line to the “Neutral”

9
terminal. The protection devices used for this purpose need not necessarily be on the same
circuit that the device will be monitoring (i.e. the circuit to which the CT is connected),
although care should be taken to ensure the current sources and voltages share the same
phase.

Cable of minimum cross section 0.1mm2and maximum cross section 1.5mm2(stranded) or 2.5mm2
(solid core) may be used.
IMPORTANT:
If the circuits being monitored are connected to a protected neutral (e.g. via an RCD),
ensure that the Mini Three Phase Meter is also connected to the same protected neutral,
and not to the main neutral link.

5. If your Mini Three Phase Meter has switching capability, the two terminals marked 'SWITCH'
are connected internally to an isolated relay rated for 5A at 240V. The front panel button will
glow red to indicate that the relay is closed. This relay can be used to switch an external
relay, contactor, or control system. Refer to the relevant documentation when connecting
this Mini Three Phase Meter to a third party control device. See Section 6 Switching for
more information.
6. Apply power to the device. The button will blink continuously between green and red to
indicate that the device is in factory reset state. If the device is not in its factory reset state
when it is initially powered up, it can be reset by pressing and holding the front panel button
for at least 10 seconds, until the button starts to blink continuously between green and red.
