WattNode - Energy and Power Meter
The WattNode® Module for Modbus® is a kilowatt hour (kWh) energy and power meter with ANSI C12.1 and ANSI C12.20 class 0.5 accuracy. Designed for easy customization for nearly any application or type of equipment, the WattNode Meter Module provides bidirectional energy and power readings via an RS-485 port using Modbus RTU communications. One model can measure all 1, 2, or 3 phases, in delta or wye services, from 120 to 600 Vac, with a single model. Using external current transformers, it can measure 5 to 6,000 amps. The WattNode Module is instrument powered from 6-24 Vdc or from an isolated 12-24 Vac control transformer. It is packaged in a compact, DIN-rail mount enclosure.

Specification
Accuracy
The following accuracy specifications do not include errors caused by the current transformer accuracy or phase angle errors. “Rated current” is the current that generates a CT output voltage of 0.33333 Vac or equivalent milliamp output.
Unless otherwise noted, all accuracy specifications assume the following conditions:
- Line voltage: 100 to 690 Vac
- Power factor (PF): 0
- Frequency: 48 – 62 Hz
- Ambient Temperature: 23°C ± 5°C
- CT Current: 1% – 100% of rated current
Revenue Models
- Meet the ANSI C12.1-2008 standard for revenue metering when used with class 0.6 or better current transformers.
- Meet the ANSI C12.20-2010 standard for revenue metering when used with class 0.3 or better current transformers.
Measurement
- Update Rate: 0.1 second. Internally, all measurements are performed at this rate, except the energy registers, which are updated every 1.0 second.
- Start-Up Time: Energy measurement starts ~100 milliseconds after the supply voltage is applied. Modbus communication is enabled ~300 milliseconds after the supply is applied; at this time, all the registers will report valid data, such as power, voltage, current, etc.
- Default CT Phase Angle Correction: 0.0 degrees.
ElectricalPower Supply
- Nominal Power Supply Voltage: 6 to 24 Vdc or isolated 12 to 24 Vac source
- Power Supply Minimum Operating Voltage: 6 Vdc or 10 Vac
- Power Supply Absolute Maximum Voltage: 40 Vdc or 30 Vac
- Power Supply Watts: typical 0.6 W, maximum 1.0 W

General Electrical
- Line Frequency: 45 to 65 Hz
- Nominal Line-to-Neutral Vac: 90 to 347 Vac
- Nominal Line-to-Line Vac: 120 to 600 Vac
- Measurement Over-Voltage Limit: 720 Vac
- Over-Current Limit: 200% of rated current. Exceeding 200% of rated current will not harm the meter, but the current and power will not be measured accurately.
- Maximum Surge: EN 61000-4-5: 2kV, ANSI C12.1 combination wave: 6kV, 1.2/50 μs – 8/20 μs
- Line Voltage Power Consumption: The line voltage sensing circuitry draws 0.006 watts per phase at 120 Vac, increasing to 0.150 watts per phase at 600 Vac.
- Real Power (50-60 Hz):
- Power Factor: ~1.0
- Rated VA: 25 VA at 720 Vac, 50 Hz. The Rated VA is the maximum at 115% of nominal Vac at 50 Hz.
- Measurement Category: The line voltage measurement terminals on the meter are rated for CAT III, 600 Vac. Measurement Category III is for measurements performed in the building installation. Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, plug loads, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors with a permanent connection to the fixed installation.
