The 9700 Power Meter is available with several different options, and some of these options require special installation procedures. Refer to the label on the 9700 Power Meter (located above the phase voltage and current input terminal strip) to see which options are included on the device you are installing.
Field Service Considerations If the 9700 Power Meter requires servicing or field upgrading, you may need to disconnect and remove the unit from its mounting. The initial installation should be done in a way which makes this as convenient as possible: ♦...
Connecting the Base Unit’s Power Supply The 9700 Power Meter can be powered either from the voltage source it is monitoring, or from an independent supply (note that the P24/48 option must be powered from a dedicated fused feed). The 9700 Power Meter requires a constant power supply to maintain monitoring, analysis, data logging, control and communications operations.
Protective Fuses The 9700 Power Meter is internally protected on the L/+ or + terminal by a 3A IEC Type T slow-blow fuse. If the power is supplied from a grounded source, installation of a 3A slow-blow fuse on the L/+ or + terminal is recommended.
14 AWG (4.0 mm ) wire. Connecting the Phase Current Inputs The 9700 Power Meter uses CTs to sense the current in each phase of the -5A (standard) power feed and (optionally) in the neutral or ground conductor. AWG 14 Refer to the 9700 Power (4.0 mm...

Connection Connections to the status inputs are made via a captured-wire type terminal block on the 9700 Power Meter. Use a wire size that is appropriate for your application and complies with local electrical codes. The 9700 Power Meter uses a current sensing technique to monitor contact status by providing an internal 30 VDC supply for self-excitation .
The option ordered determines the configuration and maximum input range for all four analog input pairs (refer to the label on the 9700 %98-32 Power Meter for the AUX rating).

There are several restrictions governing the use of the Expansion I/O Boards. Read the section below detailing I/O device restrictions before connecting any devices to the expansion boards. Further details are provided in the section “I/O Expansion Boards” in the 9700 Power Meter User’s Guide . (&ÃQPX@SÃH@U@SÃDITU6GG6UDPIÃ6I9Ã76TD8ÃT@UVQ...

(for example, firmware upgrades). 2. Anytime the 9700 Power Meter has powered down and powered back up, test the digital outputs of the 9700 Power Meter to ensure that all your control condition(s) are occurring as expected.
Serial Cable Wiring Connections RS-232 connections are made at COM 1 via captured-wire terminal strips on the 9700 Power Meter adjacent to the phase and power supply connections Use of the RTS and CTS (refer to the diagram on page 1). Terminal connections are marked as lines is optional.

The cables used between a computer or modem and the 9700 Power Meter are custom RS-232 cables. In each case, one end is equipped with a DB25 or DB9, male or female connector. The connector required depends on the mating connector of the computer or modem serial port. The other end of the cable consists of discrete wires that connect to the RS-232 terminals of the 9700 Power Meter.
