POWER METER
M0021501
Description:
Installing a Budderfly adapter transforms your building’s existing wiring into the “Budderfly Open Network” and allows the adapter
to monitor energy consumption and communicate the data to a facility controller.
Budderfly adaptors will use the existing power line for communication and thus require no re‐wiring.
Using our Budderfly software, you can visualize consumption data and manage each individual adapter.
The Budderfly Power Meter is a component of the Budderfly system and designed to work with all other Budderfly devices. Once
installed, the Budderfly Power Meter also acts as repeaters to extend the range of the network and increase efficiency.
Warning

• Never use the Budderfly Power Meter with loads that exceed the maximum
rating specified.
Features:
‐
‐
‐
‐
‐
Measures up to 16A load on the connected branch circuit.
Low power consumption.
1% accuracy over full measurement range.
Measurement Category II
LED indicators to show the current consumption of the connected branch.
Power consumption:
Budderfly Power Meter will measure the current, the voltage and the power consumed by the connected branch circuit.
The data can be accessed at any time through the Budderfly software. The user can generate reports, monitor the consumption or
check expenses.
LED Indicators:

2 Green LED’s lit
3 Green LED’s lit
State
Measured current is less than
10A
Measured current is between
10A and 15A
Measured current is higher than
15A
Reset:
If the device stops responding, it can be restarted by
pushing the Reset Button. A non‐metallic pin should be
used to push the reset button.
None of the stored parameters are affected.
WARNING –ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
•
•
Use only the plastic (non‐metallic) pin to press the reset button.
Never use a metallic pin to press the reset button.
Monitoring No Neutral switches:
‐ Budderfly power meter must be connected to any branch including Budderfly no neutral switches
‐ The power meter monitors the branch and reports all changes in power to the facility controller to calculate the
energy consumption of every no neutral switch.
Installation:
1‐ Budderfly Power meter cannot be located inside the panel board.
2‐ Budderfly Power meter require a switch or circuit breaker as part of the building installation.
3‐ An equipment switch or circuit breaker employed as disconnecting device shall meet the relevant requirements of IEC
60947‐1 and IEC 60947‐3 and be suitable for the application
4‐ A switch or circuit breaker shall not interrupt any protective earth conductor.
5‐ It is recommended that the Power Meter be mounted near the disconnecting device.
6‐ If a suitable mounting location near the load center cannot be found, additional in line fuses or circuit breaker may be
required in accordance with NEC regulations.
7‐ The switch or circuit breaker must be marked as the disconnecting device for the respective Budderfly Power Meter,
additionally I and O labels to be used to identify connecting and disconnecting positions.
8‐ Locate the Circuit Breaker of the branch circuit to be monitored, apply the identification and ON/OFF (I/O) Labels and set
it to the “OFF” position, and identify the wire that is leaving this breaker.
9‐ Turn OFF the Power Supply to the electrical panel by locating the “Service Disconnect” or “Main” circuit breaker in the
electrical panel and set it to the “OFF” position.
10‐ Test the panel for power, by using a tester or meter set to the highest AC voltage range, and check for the presence of
power by touching one probe to the Hot terminals of the branch circuit breakers.
11‐ Select #8 or #10 pan head screws suitable for the surface where the power meter will be mounted
12‐ Fasten the enclosure to the selected surface via the 4 mounting holes (refer to figure below).
13‐ Budderfly Power Meter has 4 pre‐defined ½ inch conduit knockouts.
Open the knockout were needed and fix the conduit using a suitable conduit hub.
14‐ Verify that the enclosure is not loose and that all connections are secure.
15‐ Make sure the conduit fittings are aligned properly and tightened securely.
16‐ Connect the Budderfly
Power Meter in series with
the Circuit Breaker of the
branch circuit according to
the below steps:
a. Connect the LINE wire
(black) of the Power
Meter to the LINE wire
that is leaving the
circuit breaker.
b. Connect the LOAD wire
(red) of the Power
Meter to the LINE wire
that is feeding the
branch circuit.
c. Connect the NEUTRAL
(white) of the Power
Meter to the NEUTRAL
wire of the electrical
panel.
d. Ensure that all the wire
connectors are firmly
attached and that there
is no exposed copper
inside the box.
17‐ Install the cover of the power meter box
18‐ Restore the power to the electrical panel by setting the circuit breaker mentioned above and the “Main” circuit breaker to
“ON”, and check for correct operation of the branch circuit (lights, outlets, etc.).
Communication:
The Budderfly Power Meter uses the power line and radio frequency to communicate with the “Facility Controller”.
This Meter can reply to the following commands:
• Join/Disjoin group “X”: The Budderfly Power Meter will Join/Disjoin the group “X”. Each Meter can be member of several
groups at the same time.
• Direct RTC synchronization: The Budderfly Power Meter can receive a command to synchronize its “Real Time Clock”
• Get Actual Measurement: When the Budderfly Power Meter receives a “Get Measurement” command, it will send back to
the facility controller a string of data that contains:
‐ The Current in Ampere “A”.
‐ The Power in Watt “W”.
‐ Timestamp.
• Get Stored Measurement: The Budderfly Power Meter will send back to the Facility Controller the stored electrical
measurements.
• Direct Reset Commands: The Budderfly Power Meter can receive 3 types of reset commands:
‐ Hard Reset: This command will restart the device without affecting any stored parameter.
‐ Data Reset: This command will erase all the measurement and RTC data stored in the non‐volatile memory.
‐ Group Reset: This command will remove the device from all joined groups.
• Group Reset Commands: The above reset commands can be directed to a group of devices instead of just one device.
