5ION 6100 Wireless Energy MeterThe ION® 6100 is a metering and data transmitting component of your ION enterprise energy management (EEM) system that features a compact design, pre-wired split-core low-voltage output CTs, and wireless communications, for quick and easy installation.Each ION 6100 meter measures power and calculates energy use at its installed location (load point) inside your building. The data is periodically sent and transmitted through the other ION 6100 meters in the building, towards the wireless gateway. The gateway collects and stores the data, then forwards the data to the EEM server for processing and storage.
6 Limitations on Wireless CommunicationsThe range of wireless communication is reduced when transmitting through building materials such as concrete or steel. Test results in modern skyscrapers displayed the ability to communicate reliably from one to three floors distance between two ION 6100 meters. Ranges up to 50 feet are typical when transmitting through walls constructed with wood or drywall. Communication ranges depend on the environment the device is installed in.Before You Begin1. Check to ensure you received the correct meter options, compatible with the electrical system that your meter will be monitoring. Refer to the “Available Options” section for details.CAUTIONConnecting a meter with Voltage Input option “2” (208-240 V) to a 480 Vsystem will permanently damage the meter.2. Read this manual in its entirety. Follow the warnings presented in the “Installation Considerations” section.3. Review the building plans. Check that the wiring/installation plans for the ION 6100 meters conform to the requirements of the building’s electrical system.4. Coordinate the installation of the ION 6100 meters with the installation of the gateway. The gateway should be installed first so that the ION 6100s are able to provide communications diagnostics (via the LEDs) immediately after they are installed.NOTEUse the Location ID on the ION 6100 meter label to see where the metershould be installed (e.g. floor number, panel number).5. Recommended tools:!3/8” flat-head screwdriver!Locking pliers!Wire cutter/stripperGetting More InformationAdditional material related to the ION 6100 and other Power Measurement™ products are available online at www.pwrm.com.

10 Mounting the ION 6100The following describe typical installation scenarios for the ION 6100. Note that the drawings are not to scale.DANGERMounting and installation of the ION 6100 should be performed only bylicensed electricians, and must conform to the local electrical codes.Disconnect power and lock out all power sources. Do not attempt to connectvoltage input leads when the electrical circuits are live.(A) is an example of inside panel mounting, (B) is outside panel mounting, and (C) is outside panel mounting with the wires fed through a conduit.CAUTIONOn smaller panels, installation (A) may invalidate fill allowances. Check withthe local electrical code before performing this installation scenario.Ground NeutralABC
11Mounting the Split-Core CTsTo maintain measurement accuracy for the split-core CTs:!Use only the CTs supplied with the ION 6100!Do not swap CTs between phases or meters!Do not swap the removable section from one CT to another CTNOTEThe pluggable wire harness is polarized and color-coded (Red, Yellow, Black)with the CTs to ensure correct wiring during re-connection.CAUTIONThe removable section fits only one way onto the CT. If it does not fit easily,make sure that it is not backwards. To prevent damage, do not force theremovable section onto the CT. When opening or closing the CTs, be carefulnot to bend the metal strips.1. Orient the split-core CTs so the labels are facing towards the load.2. Secure the supplied cable ties around the perimeter of each CT to prevent the CT from opening up.3. When the meter is powered up, verify that the Heart Beat / Diagnostic LED blinks green (see “Verify Meter Operation and Communications” section).NOTEThe conductors, tubing and PVC jackets on the CT wires are all rated to 600 V, and are UL approved to be field installed in panels up to 600 V.
12 System Wiring DiagramsVoltage input wires are color-coded to match the corresponding CT labels.CAUTIONElectrical inspection authorities may require the voltage inputs to be protectedby fuses/circuit breakers. Connecting to a circuit that is protected by a 15 Abreaker is recommended. Make sure your installation complies with localelectrical codes.Wye and Delta Connection DiagramSingle Phase Connection DiagramNOTEIn the above wiring diagrams, the specific colors of the leads do not need tomatch the phases (i.e. phase A does not need to be RED). However, eachphase must have the same color CT and voltage input lead.
13Powering the ION 6100No additional wiring is needed to power up the ION 6100. The ION 6100 is powered from the electrical system it is monitoring (i.e. voltage inputs Va and Vc).Verify Meter Operation and CommunicationsThe LEDs on the ION 6100 provide communications diagnostics for proper meter operation and communications.Communications DiagnosticsThe Network Link/Traffic LED is a two-color LED that provides information when the meter is transmitting or receiving information.Meter DiagnosticsThe Heart Beat/Diagnostics LED is a two-color LED that indicates whether or not the meter is functioning properly.When the meter is initially powered up (from the Va and Vc voltage input leads), the Heart Beat/Diagnostics LED flashes green (4 times/second). The meter then performs diagnostic checks, and upon successful completion the LED blinks green at a slow steady pace (once per second).LED Activity DescriptionSteady Green(continuously ON) Radio is properly identified in the wireless networkBlinking Green (once per second) Radio is not identified in the wireless networkFlashing Red(four times/second) Radio is transmitting/receiving information (the Red LED blinks once per packet received)LED Activity DescriptionFlashing Green (four times/second) Startup checkBlinking Green (once per second)Startup check passed.Meter is operating properly.Voltage and current connections are correct.Flashing Red(four times/second)Meter is unable to measure energy properly due to incorrect wiring — check the CT and voltage connections
14 Energy PulserThe Energy Pulser LED is intended to be used for testing purposes. It blinks once per accumulated 0.1 kWh.Meter TroubleshootingHeart Beat/Diagnostics LED does not blink!Check power connections to meter (voltage input leads Va and Vc).!Check that supply power is turned on for Va and Vc.Heart Beat/Diagnostics LED flashes redThis typically indicates incorrect voltage and/or current connections:!Check that the color of the voltage input leads matches that of the CTs, and that the voltage input leads are connected as shown in the “System Wiring Diagrams”.!Check that the split-core CTs Ia (Red), Ib (Yellow) and Ic (Black) are connected as shown in the “System Wiring Diagrams”.!Check that all the split-core CTs are oriented properly (sticker faces towards the load).!Check that there is more than 0.2 A flowing on the wires the CTs are installed on. After fixing the incorrect connections, the LED should return to a slow blinking green.Heart Beat/Diagnostics LED flashes greenIf the LED continuously flashes green (4 times/second) and does not change from this state, it indicates the meter has encountered an internal error.
