POWER METER INSTALLATION Getting Started Compatible Devices Wallbox Pulsar Plus Refer to the Pulsar Plus North America Installation Guide for a complete list of tools required for installation.
POWER METER INSTALLATION Installation Preparation Use the small opening located at the bottom of the charger between the power input and the EV connector cable output. When using this opening for the communications cabling, first remove the screw plug. Use a wrench to hold the interior lock nut while unscrewing the plug using a flathead screwdriver from the bottom (exterior) side of the plug.
POWER METER INSTALLATION Installation Wiring the System This meter is only supported on installations with the following requirements: • 3 wire installation: 2 hot wires + neutral • Phase to phase voltage: 208-240 V • Phase to neutral voltage: 120 V Follow the diagram for wiring the system: N L1 L2 N 13 1 14 15 16 3 2 17 18 7
POWER METER INSTALLATION Installation Positioning and General Overview Follow the scheme below for positioning the CT clamps and the communication cable to charger. A. Grid B. Utility Meter C. Main Switch D. Eletrical Panel Positioning of CT clamps E. Energy Meter Communication cable to charger F. Communication G. Breaker H. Other House Loads 8 I. Wallbox Charger J.
POWER METER INSTALLATION Installation CT clamps Connection of the meter through a devoted breaker Meter Circuit Protection The EM530 is considered a continuously connected device, so it requires an overcurrent protective device against current beyond the acceptable rating of the equipment. • • • • Use circuit breakers or fuses rated 20 Amps or less. The circuit breaker must protect L1 and L2, all the active phases. The circuit protection must comply with local standards.
POWER METER INSTALLATION Installation 2. In the electrical panel box, locate a space for mounting the meter. If possible, mount the meter inside the panel enclosure (box). 3. Add a protection for the meter in the electric box. 4. Wire the terminals N,1 and 2 from the meter to the neutral and two hot lines from your electrical panel. N L1 L2 min: 0.2 mm2/AWG24 max: 2.5mm2/AWG12 N 13 10 1 14 15 ≤ 0.
POWER METER INSTALLATION Installation 5. Connect the CT clamps to the incoming "hot" lines as shown. Important Follow the internal arrow indicating the current direction when installing the clamps.
