ION 6100 Wireless Energy Meter
The 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.
Limitations on Wireless Communications
Operating frequency
License-free 900 MHz ISM radio band
Operating range
Typical 30 meter (100 ft) range to other
routers (indoor, line of sight)
The 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 Begin
1.
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.
CAUTION
Connecting a meter with Voltage Input option “2” (208-240 V) to a 480 V
system 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.
NOTE
Use the Location ID on the ION 6100 meter label to see where the meter
should be installed (e.g. floor number, panel number).
5.
Recommended tools:
3/8” flat-head screwdriver
Locking pliers

Using the Split-Core CTs
The split-core CTs measure the current flow through the conductors and
transform these measured quantities into equivalent low-voltage values
for the ION 6100.
CTs are UL recognized.
The ION 6100 performs calculations based on the assumption that
energy is always delivered, so the energy totals are correct regardless of
CT polarity. However, we recommend the CTs be oriented in a consistent
manner; see “Mounting the Split-Core CTs”.
CTs have an internal burden so shorting blocks are not required.

Mounting the ION 6100
The following describe typical installation scenarios for the ION 6100. Note
that the drawings are not to scale.
DANGER
Mounting and installation of the ION 6100 should be performed only by
licensed electricians, and must conform to the local electrical codes.
Disconnect power and lock out all power sources. Do not attempt to connect
voltage input leads when the electrical circuits are live.
Neutral

and (C) is outside panel mounting with the wires fed through a conduit.
CAUTION
On smaller panels, installation (A) may invalidate fill allowances. Check with
the local electrical code before performing this installation scenario.
10
Mounting the Split-Core CTs
To 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 CT
NOTE
The pluggable wire harness is polarized and color-coded (Red, Yellow, Black)
with the CTs to ensure correct wiring during re-connection.
CAUTION
The 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 the
removable section onto the CT. When opening or closing the CTs, be careful
not 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).
NOTE
The 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.
11
System Wiring Diagrams
Voltage input wires are color-coded to match the corresponding CT labels.
CAUTION
Electrical inspection authorities may require the voltage inputs to be protected
by fuses/circuit breakers. Connecting to a circuit that is protected by a 15 A
breaker is recommended. Make sure your installation complies with local
electrical codes.

Single Phase Connection Diagram
NOTE
In the above wiring diagrams, the specific colors of the leads do not need to
match the phases (i.e. phase A does not need to be RED). However, each
phase must have the same color CT and voltage input lead.
12
Powering the ION 6100
No 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 Communications
The LEDs on the ION 6100 provide communications diagnostics for proper
meter operation and communications.
Communications Diagnostics
The Network Link/Traffic LED is a two-color LED that provides information
when the meter is transmitting or receiving information.
LED Activity
Description
Steady Green
(continuously ON)
Radio is properly identified in the wireless
network
Blinking Green
(once per second)
Radio is not identified in the wireless network
Flashing Red
(four times/second)
Radio is transmitting/receiving information (the
Red LED blinks once per packet received)
Meter Diagnostics
The 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
Description
Flashing Green
(four times/second)
Startup check
Blinking 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
13
Energy Pulser
The Energy Pulser LED is intended to be used for testing purposes. It blinks
once per accumulated 0.1 kWh.
Meter Troubleshooting
Heart 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 red
This 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 green
If the LED continuously flashes green (4 times/second) and does not change
from this state, it indicates the meter has encountered an internal error.
