FCC Compliance Statement
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential
installations. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio and television reception.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this device does cause such interference, which can be verified by
turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to eliminate the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Re-orient or re-locate the receiving antenna.
Increase the distance between the device and the receiver.
Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different from the one that
supplies power to the receiver.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.
WARNING! Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference that may be received or that may cause
undesired operation.

Overview
This user guide explains how to install the PAN-14 sensors.
PAN 14 Current Sensor
Current Transpformer (CT)
Workflow
Sensor installation consists of the following steps:
1. Map the circuits.
See Panoramic Power Deployment Tool User Guide.
2. Physically attach the sensors and the CTs to the wires.

3. Monitors the proper functioning of the sensors. See Panoramic Power
Deployment Tool User Guide.
Unpacking the Hardware
Sensors are shipped in 3-unit packs.
CTs are not included and can be bought separately.
Safety Precautions
The sensor must be installed only on an insulated conductor.
CTs output/secondary current must not exceed 5A.
The sensor and CT should be installed and removed only by a qualified
electrician.
Installation must not be performed on a live wire for reasons of safety
and random shock hazard. Power supply to the panel must be shut off
before and during installation.
The sensor and CT must not be installed lying or touching bus bars or
any other non-insulated, exposed conductors.
Installation is possible both on external entry/exit conductors before the
terminal strip, as well as both ends of the circuit breaker. The least
cramped, most accessible location should be chosen for installation. The
sensor should be installed such that the arrow points in the direction of
the load.
Mapping the Site
See Panoramic Power Deployment Guide.

Installing the Sensor
This procedure must be carried out by a certified electrician.
1. Connect the PAN 14 sensor to the CT :
2. Connect the two CT's outputs to the PAN-14 sensor using a 1.0-4.0mm2 (12-
17 AWG) wires as follows:
a. Connect the PAN-14 sensor's terminal marked as "1" to the CT's
terminal marked as "S1" or "X1"
b. Connect the PAN-14 sensor's terminal marked as "2" to the CT's
terminal marked as "S2" or "X2"
3. Mount the CT on the hot wire:
a. If the CT is split-core:
Close the CT on the hot wire by disconnecting its two parts, and closing
them around the hot wire.
b. If the CT is solid-core:
Disconnect one of the ends of the hot wire from the panel, insert it
through the CT, and then reconnect it to the panel.
c. In both cases, make sure the CT is placed on the wire so that the
direction of current flow on the wire is from the side marked "P1" or
"H1" on the CT, to the side marked "P2" or "H2" on the CT.

Other used CT polarity markings are K for entry and L for exit or Load
side (respectively P1 and P2).
4. Make sure the sensor's LED is blinking.
5. Finalize the PAN-14 sensor and the CT's position on the panel:
- Maintain a reasonable distance between the CT and the sensor.
- Place the PAN-14 sensor on the side that is closer to the bridge (To
avoid RF blocking, make sure the CT is not positioned between the
sensor and the bridge).
- If possible, attach the PAN-14 sensor with plastic ties.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Do not mount the CT on the hot wire before you have already connected the
PAN-14 sensor securely to the CT!
If a PAN-14 sensor needs to be replaced short circuit the CT's outputs to each
other using a length of wire before PAN-14 is disconnected!
Do not leave the CT mounted/installed on a hot wire without being short
circuited.
It is possible to have both the PAN-14 sensor and the short circuiting wire
connected to the CT at the same time
Registering the Installed Sensor

Monitoring Sensor Activity
See Panoramic Power Deployment Guide.
Uninstalling a Sensor
Open the sensor in the way you first opened it and remove it from the cable.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter a problem, first try the following solutions:
Problem
Solution
The sensor is not sending
measurements
Make sure the circuit has current.
Make sure that the sensor arrow points in the
direction of the load.
Make sure that the sensor LED is blinking.
Make sure the sensors are near enough to the
bridge for the bridge to receives its signals.
Check the reception LED of the bridge. If it is
not blinking it means that it is not receiving
signals.
