Precautions
- Only licensed electricians or qualified personnel should install the WattNode meter. The mains voltages of 100 to 600 Vac can be lethal!
- Follow all applicable local and national electrical and safety codes.
- The terminal block screws are not insulated. Do not contact metal tools to the screw terminals if the circuit is live!
- Verify that circuit voltages and currents are within the proper range for the meter model.
- Use only UL Listed or Recognized current transformers (CTs). Depending on the meter options, you may use either CTs with built-in burden resistors that generate 0.333 Vac (333 millivolts AC) at the rated current or milliamp output CTs that generate 40 mA at the rated current. Do not use 1 amp or 5 amp output CTs: they will destroy the meter and may create a shock hazard.
- Protect the line voltage conductors to the meter with fuses or circuit breakers. See 3.3.1 below.
- Disconnect equipment from HAZARDOUS LIVE voltages before access.
- If the meter is not installed correctly, the safety protections may be impaired.

Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of the WattNode® Wide-Range Modbus® watt
/watt-hour meter. One model can measure 100 to 600 Vac, single-phase or three-
phase, wye or delta services. It is designed for use in demand-side management
(DSM), submetering, energy monitoring, billing, and renewable energy
applications. The WattNode meter communicates on an EIA RS-485 two-wire bus
using the Modbus RTU protocol.
The WattNode Wide-Range Modbus meets the revenue metering ANSI C12.1 Class 1
standard when used with class 0.6 current transformers and meets ANSI C12.20
Class 0.5 when used with class 0.2 or class 0.3 current transformers.
Additional Literature
See the Continental Control Systems, LLC website (ctlsys.com) for product pages, datasheets, and support pages for all WattNode meter models and current transformers. The WattNode Wide-Range has a Reference Manual with detailed information on the available measurements and interface.
Electrical Service Types
The WND-WR-MB meter supports any electrical service from 100 to 600 Vac, line-
to-neutral or line-to-line, 50 to 60 Hz, single-phase, split-phase, or three-
phase, wye or delta.
Connect the line voltages to the meter inputs as shown in the following
figures for each service type. See Figure 1 above for an overview.
Internally, the WattNode meter acts as three separate single-phase meters, one
tied to each CT input. By default, CT1 is associated with VAN (or VA – VN),
CT2 with VBN, and CT3 with VCN. This default configuration may be changed
using the ConnectionType register or the MeterConfig registers. See the
Reference Manual for details.
When describing service types, the number of wires only includes neutral and
line conductors, not the ground conductor.
Single-Phase, Two-Wire, Line-to-Neutral
This is a common residential and branch circuit connection. The CT should be placed around the line conductor and connected to the CT1 terminal (Figure 2). The meter will be powered from the VN and VA terminals.
Up to three such circuits may be monitored with one meter using three CTs by connecting the second and third circuit line voltages to the VB and VC terminals and the additional CTs to CT2 and CT3 respectively as shown in Figure 6. It is also possible to monitor up to three circuits on the same voltage phase without connections to VB and VC; see the Reference Manual for details.
Single-Phase, Two-Wire, Line-to-Line
This circuit occurs in residential (commonly 120/240 Vac) and some commercial applications (such as 208 or 480 Vac line-to-line). The meter will be powered from the VA and VB input terminals. Two CTs are typically used as shown below.
The Reference Manual documents two advanced configurations:
- By setting ConnectionType = 5, only one CT is required instead of two.
- One WattNode can monitor three single-phase, two-wire, line-to-line circuits. 2.2.3 Single-Phase, Three-Wire (Split-Phase)
This is a common North American residential service at 120/240 Vac with a neutral connection. The CTs should be placed around the L1 and L2 line conductors and connected to the CT1 and CT2terminals respectively. The meter will be powered from the VN, VA, and VB terminals.
Single-Phase, Three-Wire (Split-Phase)
This is a common North American residential service at 120/240 Vac with a neutral connection. The CTs should be placed around the L1 and L2 line conductors and connected to the CT1 and CT2 terminals respectively. The meter will be powered from the VN, VA, and VB terminals.
Three-Phase, Three-Wire Delta
This service is common in commercial and industrial settings. It does not
include a neutral conductor. In some cases, the service may be four-wire wye
while the load is the three-wire delta (no neutral).
The meter will be powered from the VA and VB terminals.
With the default configuration, three CTs are required as shown below.
By setting ConnectionType = 2, only two CTs are required. See the Reference
Manual
for details.
Three-Phase, Four-Wire Wye
This is a common commercial and industrial service that includes a neutral conductor. The CTs should be placed around the L1, L2 and L3 line conductors and connected to the CT1, CT2, and CT3 terminals respectively. The meter will be powered from the VN, VA, and VB terminals.
Grounded Leg Service
In rare cases with delta services or single-phase two-wire, line-to-line
services, one of the phases may be grounded.
The meter will correctly measure services with a grounded leg, but the
measured voltage and power for the grounded phase will be zero. The status
LEDs will not light for the grounded phase because the voltage is near zero.
This type of service may result in unusual power factors.
See the web article Corner-Grounded Delta
Circuits for more
information.
Four-Wire Delta Service
There are several names for this service type including “high-leg”, “wild-
leg”, “stinger leg”, or “wild phase”. This is a three-phase delta service with
a center-tap on one of the transformer windings to create a neutral for
single-phase loads. These occur in North America in two configurations:
120/208/240 Vac and 240/415/480 Vac.
With the WattNode Wide-Range meter, this service type can be measured just
like any three-phase, four-wire wye service (Figure 6) using three CTs. By
convention, you should connect the VB terminal to the high leg. See Four-Wire
Delta Circuits for more information.
Installation
Installation Checklist
See the sections referenced below for installation details.
- Turn off power before making line voltage connections.
- Mount the meter (see 3.2).
- Connect circuit breakers or fuses and disconnects (see 3.3.1).
- Connect the line voltage wires to the meter’s green terminal block (see 3.3.2).
- Mount the CTs around the line conductors. Make sure the CTs face the source (see 3.4).
- Connect the twisted white and black wires from the CTs to the black terminal block on the meter, matching the wire colors to the white and black dots on the meter label (see 3.4.2).
- Check that the CT phases match the line voltage phases: CT1 with VA, CT2 with VB, and CT3 with VC, unless you have specially configured the ConnectionType or MeterConfig registers (see 3.4).
- Record the CT rated current for each CT. They will be required during commissioning.
- Connect the output terminals of the meter to the monitoring equipment (see 3.5).
- Check that all the wires are securely installed in the terminal blocks by tugging on each wire.
- Turn on power to the meter.
- Verify that the LEDs indicate correct operation (see 4.2, 4.3).
Mounting
- Protect the meter from temperatures below -40°C (-40°F) or above 80°C (176°F), excessive moisture, dust, salt spray, or other contamination, using a NEMA rated enclosure if necessary. The meter requires an environment no worse than pollution degree 2 (normally only non-conductive pollution; occasionally, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation).
- The meter must be installed in an electrical service panel or an enclosure.
- Do not use the meter as a drilling guide; the drill chuck can damage the screw terminals and metal shavings may fall into the connectors.
The meter has two mounting holes spaced 5.375 in. (137 mm) apart (center-to- center). These mounting holes are normally obscured by the detachable screw terminals. Remove the screw terminals to mark the hole positions and mount the meter.
Self-tapping #8 sheet metal screws are included. Do not over-tighten the screws, as long-term stress on the case can cause cracking.
Connect Voltage Terminals
3.3.1 Circuit Protection
The WattNode meter is considered “permanently connected equipment” and
requires a disconnect means (circuit breaker or disconnect switch) and
overcurrent protection (fuse or circuit breaker). The meter draws less than
0.1 amp, so the rating of any disconnects, fuses, and/or circuit breakers is
determined by the wire gauge, the mains voltage, and the current interrupting
rating required.
- The disconnect or circuit breaker must be clearly marked, suitably located, and easily reached.
- Use circuit breakers or fuses rated for 20 amps or less, and rated for the service voltage.
- Use ganged circuit breakers when monitoring more than one line voltage.
- The circuit breakers or fuses must protect whichever of the mains terminals VA, VB, or VC are connected to the mains. Neutral does not need overcurrent protection.
- The circuit protection/disconnect system must meet IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-3, as well as all national and local electrical codes.
Line Wiring
- Always turn off power before connecting the line voltages to the meter.
- For the line voltage wires, CCS recommends 18 to 12 AWG stranded wire, type THHN, MTW, or THWN, 600 V.
- Use copper conductors only. The screw terminals are only rated for copper wire.
- Do not place more than one wire in a screw terminal; use wire nuts or terminal blocks if needed.
- Verify that the highest line-to-neutral or line-to-line voltage is nominally between 100 and 600 Vac. The absolute maximum operating voltage is 690 Vac.
Connect each service conductor to the green terminal block as shown in section
2 above. Torque the screws to 4.4 lbf·in (0.5 N·m).
The screw terminals handle wire up to 12 AWG. Connect each voltage line to the
green terminal block as shown in Figure 1 through Figure 6 above. After
connecting the voltage wires, make sure both terminal blocks are fully seated
in the meter.
Grounding
The WattNode uses a plastic enclosure, insulation, and internal isolation
barriers instead of protective earthing.
The ground terminal on the green screw terminal block is a functional ground,
designed to improve the measurement accuracy and noise immunity. If necessary,
this terminal may be left disconnected.
Connect Current Transformers
To meet the UL listing requirements, the meter must be used with UL Listed or
UL Recognized cur- rent transformers. Only UL Listed CTs are approved for use
in retrofit applications in panelboards; recognized CTs must not be used for
this application.
The standard meter supports CTs with a 0.33333 Vac output (one-third volt).
With the correct options, the meter can support CTs with a 40 milliamp output:
contact CCS for
details.
3.4.1 Current Transformer Installation
See the web article Selecting Current Transformers for information on
selecting appropriate current transformers (CTs).
- WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, always open or disconnect circuit from power distribution system or service of the building before installing or servicing current transformers.
- WARNING: When using UL Recognized CTs, they must be installed on insulated conductors only and maintained away from all live parts.
- Do not use 1 amp or 5 amp current output CTs!
- The CTs are not suitable for Class 2 wiring methods and must be treated as Class 1 circuits.
- Use plastic cable ties to secure the current transformers and route the lead wires so that they do not directly contact uninsulated live terminals or conductors.
- Split-core CTs can be opened for installation around a conductor. A nylon cable tie may be secured around the perimeter of the CT to prevent inadvertent opening.
- Do not install current transformers where they would: 1) exceed 75 percent of the wiring space of any cross-sectional area within the equipment, 2) would block ventilation openings, or 3) would be in an area of breaker arc venting.
- See the CT datasheets for the maximum input current ratings.
- To minimize current measurement noise, avoid extending the CT wires beyond 100 feet (30 meters), especially in noisy environments. If it is necessary to extend the wires, use twisted-pair wire 22 to 14 AWG, rated for 300 V or 600 V (not less than the service voltage) and shielded if possible.
Find the source arrow or label “THIS SIDE TOWARD SOURCE” on the CT and face/point toward the source of current. CTs are directional, so if they are mounted backward or with their white and black wires swapped the measured power will be negative. The power status LEDs indicate negative measured power by flashing red.
Install the CTs around the phase conductors to be measured as shown in Figure 1 through Figure 6 above. Connect the CT leads to the meter.
For revenue accuracy, use revenue-grade current transformers; other CTs are less accurate and may not provide revenue accuracy. Contact sales for more information on appropriate CTs.
CT Wiring
The current transformers connect to the six-position black screw terminal
block. Connect the white
and black CT wires to the meter terminals marked CT1, CT2 , and CT3 (see
Figure 1 above). Excess length may be trimmed from the wires if desired.
Connect each CT with the white wire aligned with the white dot on the label,
and the black wire aligned with the black dot. Note the order in which the
phases are connected, as the line voltage phases
must match the current phases for accurate power measurement. Torque the
screws to 4.4 lbf·in (0.5 N·m).
RS-485 Communication
3.5.1 RS-485 Cables
There are many choices for RS-485 cabling. Ideally use cable specifically
rated for RS-485 applications as it will have the best impedance for long
distances to minimize interference and reflections. However, for distances up
to 100 meters, especially at baud rates of 38,400 or lower, a special RS485
cable is normally not required.
See RS-485 Cables for Modbus for more information.
There are some common conductor configurations for RS-485 cables:
- Two conductors without shield: we do not recommend using this type of cable because our meter expects the common terminal to be connected.
- Two conductors with shield: use the two conductors for the A- and B+ terminals, use the shield for C (common). If the shield is connected to earth, it should only be connected at the Modbus master device.
- Three conductors without shield: use the three conductors for the A-, B+, and C (common). If two of the conductors are twisted together, use those for the A- and B+ terminals.
- Three conductors with shield: use the three conductors for the A-, B+, and C (common). If two of the conductors are twisted together, use those for the A- and B+ terminals. The shield may be connected to earth at the Modbus master device for improved noise immunity.
- If there are additional conductors, they may be left disconnected.
- Use twisted-pair cable to prevent interference.
- For longer distances (>30 meters) or electrically noisy environments, use shielded cable.
RS-485 Connection
RS-485 wiring can be complex when multiple devices are connected, when running wires for long distances, and when using termination and biasing resistors. If you have any questions, consult the Reference Manual.
- The meter outputs are electrically isolated from dangerous voltages.
- If the output wiring is near line voltage wiring, use wires or cables with a 300 V or 600 V rating (not less than the service voltage).
- If the output wiring is near bare conductors, it should be double insulated or jacketed.
- RS-485 wiring is daisy-chained between meters, with up to 64 devices per subnet as shown in the figure below. Avoid a star or home run wiring system, where each device is wired back to the Modbus master, as this can cause signal reflections.
- You may install two wires into each screw terminal by twisting the wires together first.
- Torque the screws to 4.4 lbf·in (0.5 N·m).
- Note: one loose wire can disable an entire network section.
- Note: the X terminal is not active on the WattNode Wide-Range meter.
Modbus RTU
The WattNode meter can be connected to PCs with RS-485 interfaces, gateways,
data loggers, and other devices that accept RS-485 Modbus RTU.
Use DIP switches 1-6 to select the Modbus address (1 to 63).
DIP Switch | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Up (1) Value | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 |
Address | Examples | |||||
1 | 1, Up | 0, Down | 0, Down | 0, Down | 0, Down | 0, Down |
1+2+4 = 7 | 1, Up | 1, Up | 1, Up | 0, Down | 0, Down | 0, Down |
4+16 = 20 | 0, Down | 0, Down | 1, Up | 0, Down | 1, Up | 0, Down |
1+2+16+32 = 51 | 1, Up | 1, Up | 0, Down | 0, Down | 1, Up | 1, Up |
Select the RS-485 termination with DIP switch position 7 (see below). The change will take effect immediately.
Termination | DIP Switch 7 |
---|---|
none (default) | 0, Down |
120 ohms | 1, Up |
Select the baud rate with DIP switch position 8 (see below). The change will
take effect immediately.
Baud rates up to 115,200 baud may be factory configured or programmed using
the BaudRate register.
Baud Rate | DIP Switch 8 |
---|---|
9,600 (default) | 0, Down |
19,200 | 1, Up |
The RS-485 settings default to no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit (N81). Other parity and stop bit settings may be configured with factory options or with the Modbus ParityMode register.
Operation
Initial Configuration
Generally, the network integrator will remotely configure the WattNode meter and the variables. For details on configuring the WattNode meter, see the appropriate Reference Manual for your model. The meter does not include a display or buttons, so it is not possible to configure or monitor the meter directly, other than the basic LED diagnostics described below. At a minimum, the CtAmps must be programmed with the rated current (amps) of the attached current transformers for correct measurements. If you are using a potential transformer, then you will also need to configure the PtRatio register with the correct ratio. See the website article Using Potential Transformers for details.
Power Status LEDs
The three status LEDs on the front of the meter can help indicate correct measurements and operation. The “CT1”, “CT2”, and “CT3” on the diagrams indicate the three phases.
Normal Startup
The meter displays the following startup sequence whenever power is first applied.
Positive Power
Any phase with the LEDs flashing green is indicating normal positive power.
No Power
Any phase with a solid green LED indicates no power, but line voltage is present.
No Voltage
Any phase LED that is off indicates no voltage on that phase.
Negative Power
Red flashing indicates negative power for that phase. Reversed CTs, swapped CT wires, or CTs not matched with line voltage phases can cause this.
Overvoltage Warning
The following indicates that the line voltage is too high for this model.
Disconnect power immediately! Check the line voltages and the meter ratings
(in the white box on the
label).
Meter Not Operating
If none of the LEDs light, then check that the correct line voltages are applied to the meter. If the voltages are correct, call customer service for assistance.
WattNode Error
If the meter experiences an internal error, it will light all LEDs red for three or more seconds. If you see this happen repeatedly, return the meter for service.
For other LED patterns, see the Reference Manual or contact support for assistance.
Modbus Communication LED
Near the upper left corner, there is a diagnostic Com (communication) LED that can indicate the following:
- A short green flash indicates a valid packet addressed to this device.
- Short yellow flashes or rapid flashing indicate valid packets addressed to differ ent devices.
- A one second red flash indicates an invalid packet: incorrect baud rate, bad CRC, noise, incorrect parity, etc.
- Rapid red/yellow flashing indicates a possible address conflict (two de- vices with the same DIP switch address).
- Solid red indicates the address is set to zero: an invalid choice.
Monitoring
The WattNode Wide-Range Modbus meter models communicate measurements over a
Modbus RTU network. The measurements include: energy, power, voltage, current,
line frequency, power factor, reactive power, and demand.
In order to monitor and configure networked WattNode models, you will need an
appropriate monitoring solution, either standalone or PC software.
See the Reference Manual for a complete list of network-accessible variables.
Maintenance and Repair
The WattNode meter requires no maintenance. It is not user-serviceable and
there are no replaceable parts except the pluggable screw terminals.
There are no diagnostic tests that can be performed by the user, other than
checking for errors via the Modbus interface or the status LEDs.
In the event of any failure, the meter must be returned for service (contact
CCS for an RMA). For a new installation, follow the troubleshooting
instructions in the
Reference Manual before returning the meter for service, to ensure that the problem
is not connection-related.
The WattNode meter should not normally need to be cleaned, but if cleaning is
desired, power must be disconnected first and a dry or damp cloth or brush
should be used.
