8Installation
Installing the reference voltage cable and power cable in a 120/240V
application
The PowerHawk has two voltage inputs. Auxiliary voltage is phase-independent and only
provides power to the internal circuits. The reference voltage (A, B, C, N) provides phase
voltages for power calculations, and the configuration depends on the type of service being
metered (single-phase, poly-phase, or three-phase).
The PowerHawk 6320 is shipped from the factory with shorting wires in the auxiliary power
inputs that power the unit from the reference voltage inputs. The following procedures explain
how to connect the reference voltage inputs for each of the service types. For instructions on
how to use the auxiliary power inputs see “Using the auxiliary power input” on page 11.
For a single- or poly-phase panel, use a 3-wire (red, black, white) 14 AWG (1.63 mm2) cable.
For a three-phase panel, use a 4-wire (red, black, blue, white) 14 AWG (1.63 mm2) cable.
Metallic, flexible armored cable (BX cable) is recommended for commercial installations.
As a safety precaution, the PowerHawk must be connected to its own breaker or switched
disconnect so it can be powered down separately by tripping a single breaker. The disconnect
device must located within easy reach of the meter operator, and must be labeled. For multiple
PowerHawk installations, the same disconnect can be used to power all PowerHawk units.
To install the power cable in a 120/240V application
WARNING: Ensure that the breaker you use to provide power to the PowerHawk is off
before connecting the power cable.
CAUTION: When connecting the power, ensure that there is a 1-inch loop of wire on each
lead inside the unit.
Note: If the breaker panel does not designate phase A and phase B feeds, make your own
designation and use it for the rest of the installation.
1. Connect the PowerHawk A, B, and N leads to the breaker or fused disconnect as follows:
WARNING: The A, B, wiring sequence between the PowerHawk and the panel must
match, or the measurement readings will be wrong.

Using the auxiliary power input
The PowerHawk comes equipped with an auxiliary power input that can be used to power the
system independently from the reference voltage inputs described in the previous section.
Because the default configuration for powering the unit is through the reference voltage inputs,
the system is configured at the factory with shorting wires on the auxiliary power input. If you
choose to power the unit through the auxiliary power input, the shorting bars must be removed
from the auxiliary power connector before connecting the reference voltage inputs.
The auxiliary power inputs are 120V and require a separate breaker or fused disconnect switch.
Figure 5 shows the auxiliary power connections.
To connect the auxiliary power input
1. Remove the second punch-out at the top of the unit.
2. Remove the shorting wires connecting AUXA to A, and AUXN to N on the auxiliary
power input connector.
3. Connect PowerHawk AUXA and AUXN to a 120V source.
4. Connect the earth wire to the earth post using the lug provided.

Installing the current transformers
The mA solid-core current transformers (CTs) are connected directly to the CT cables. When
using a 5A CT adaptor, the adaptor is connected to the CT cable and the 5A CT is connected to
the adaptor.
All solid-core and CT adaptors are labeled for use with a specific meter, and must be used with
the correct meter port to ensure meter accuracy.
As shown in Figure 6, CTs are N Amp solid-core CTs that are installed on existing connections.
Current transformers connect to the PowerHawk through the two 25-pair CT cables labeled
Cable 1 and Cable 2. See Table 3 for the definition of the CT probe pairs within the cable colour
scheme.
Note: All CTs should have external shorting blocks to limit open circuit voltages to safe
levels.
Installation of mA CTs
Each CT has a black and white wire pair and uses butt connectors to attach the CT to a specific
PowerHawk probe pair. The direction of the energy flow is indicated on the CT, as shown in
Figure 6.

Note: The standard 200A:80mA current transformer shipped with the PowerHawk 6320 is
part number 908-314-01 (shown on the right in Figure 6). When retrofitting an installation
or redeploying previously shipped current transformers, verify the part numbers and
connect the correct X1 and X2 leads to the CT cable as instructed in “To install the current
transformers” on page 13.
To install the current transformers
WARNING: Power must not be applied until all CTs are connected to the appropriate
circuits, the CTs have been connected to the cables, and both cables have been connected to
the PowerHawk. Failure to do so may result in dangerous voltages on the CT lead that may
cause severe injury and equipment damage.
1. Connect the 25-pin amphenol connector of cable 2 to the PowerHawk connector located at
the bottom of the unit, and secure it in place with the retaining clips. Repeat for cable 1.
2. Feed the free end of Cable 1 and Cable 2 through a 3/4-inch punch-out on the hydro panel
with strain relief.
3. Strip the plastic sheaths back to an appropriate length to expose the wire pairs. Cut and
strip the CT leads and wire pair leads to an appropriate length.
4. Crimp the CT probe leads to the CTs for each PowerHawk as follows: black CT wire to
first half of the CT probe pair, white CT wire to the second half of the CT probe pair. See
Table 3 for the list of probe colour pairs for the PowerHawk 6320 high-density meters.
5. Switch the breaker off for the circuit being installed and remove the feed wire. Place the
CT over the wire and reconnect to the breaker.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for the remaining CTs.
Note: The direction of the energy flow is indicated on the CT.

Using 5A CT converters with the PowerHawk 6320 meter
When both low-current (200A and 400A) and high-current (600A or higher) circuits need to be
measured with the same PowerHawk meter, converters are available to allow the use of
Measurement Canada approved 5A CTs with the appropriate current rating. 5A CT converters
transform the 5A maximum output from a standard CT to the 80mA maximum of the
PowerHawk meter.
The 5A side of the converter is the black and red wire pair, and the 80mA side of the converter
is the black and white wire pair.
It is recommended that 5A converters and shorting devices be installed in a sealable metal
enclosure.
To connect the 5A CT to the converter on the PowerHawk 6320, follow these steps:
1. Connect the X1 lead of the 5A CT to the shorting device.
2. Connect the X2 lead of the 5A CT to the shorting device.
3. Connect the X1 lead (red) from the 5A side of the converter to the CT X1 lead on the
shorting device.
4. Connect the X2 lead (black) from the 5A side of the converter to the CT X2 lead on the
shorting device.
5. Connect the X1 lead (white) from the 80mA side of the converter to the X1 lead within the
25 pair cable for the selected meter point listed in Table 3.
6. Connect the X2 lead (black) from the 80mA side of the converter to the X2 lead within the
25 pair cable for the selected meter point listed in Table 3.
Figure 7 shows a 5A CT connected to the converter.

Connecting the phone line
If the modem reporting option is being used, an analogue telephone patch cable is required to
connect the customer phone line to the PowerHawk.
1. Connect the patch cable between the termination block of the phone line and the
PowerHawk.
2. Disconnect the Ethernet cable (if an Ethernet cable is connected, reporting defaults to the
Ethernet port).
A single phone line can be daisy-chained to several PowerHawk meters.
Connecting the Ethernet cable
If the IP reporting option is being used, a separate RJ45 patch cable is required to connect the
Ethernet port for each PowerHawk meter to the local Ethernet network.
If the local network automatically assigns IP addresses through a DHCP server, the PowerHawk
meter will be able to report using its factory default IP settings. If there is no DHCP server, refer
to the PowerHawk meter Configuration Guide for instructions to configure default static IP
addresses.
Connecting pulse inputs
The pulse input on the PowerHawk 6320 can be used to count and report pulses generated by
another meter (pulsing device).
Connect the output of the pulsing device to PIN 2 and PIN 3 of the “pulse in” terminal blocks
in the PowerHawk 6320 meter, as shown in Figure 8. The pulse inputs are compatible with both
dry and solid-state form A contacts, 10 Hz maximum frequency, 20 ms minimum pulse width.
When the pulsing device provides dry relay contacts the pulse input is not polarity-sensitive.
Whenthepulsing device provides solid-state form A outputs, the GND (negative) terminal from
the source device must be connected to PIN 3 of the pulse in terminal block.
The pulsing device can be located up to 1,000 feet away from the PowerHawk meter with
22 AWG twisted pair wire.
