(1) The Polaris is wall-mounted, drill the screw holes according to the diagram
below.
(2) Place the Polaris flat against the wall making sure that the mounting holes are
aligned with the screw holes.
(3) Secure the Polaris using the screws through the mount holes.
2.4 Before Installation
(1) Check that the ratings and specifications of the model to be installed is
suitable for its intended application.
(2) Verify that the dedicated CT being used is compatible with the type of Polaris.
Note that the Polaris cannot be directly used with non-DAE dedicated CTs.
(3) Verify that the current rating of the dedicated CT being used is suitable for its
intended load.
(4) Make sure to turn off all power sources to the Polaris and any adjacent power
sources before performing the installation.
Page 13
2.5 Conduit and Wire Ingress
(1) Regular terminal cover
Each Polaris meter has two knockouts at the bottom. Both knockouts can
be cut open for either 1/2" or 3/4" conduit. For voltage and CT wirings, cut
open the knockout for 3/4" conduit. For the RS485 communication cable, cut
open the knockout for 1/2" conduit. Avoid placing both the communication and
power cables in the same conduit to avoid interference.
Note : Please use UL certified cables and conduits.
(2) Special terminal cover
An alternate terminal cover is also available (purchased separately) for

use when the meter is to be installed within an enclosure. The voltage and CT
wires will enter the meter through the rear opening of the terminal cover.
Page 14
2.6 Meter Installation
(1) Attach the dedicated CTs to the CT terminal with their appropriate phases.
(2) Connect the phase A voltage terminal of the Polaris to the corresponding
power source with an intermediate fuse.
(3) Connect the voltage terminals of the Polaris to their corresponding phase
voltages. (* Use 10 to 18 AWG, 600V wire for the voltage terminals.)
(4) Assemble the CTs onto the corresponding conductors being measured
making sure that the direction and orientation of the CTs with wiring are
consistent. With solid core CTs, the wire must be threaded through the CT,
which would necessitate disconnecting the wire from the load. With split core
CTs and clamp type CTs, the CT can be opened and clipped or clamped onto
the conductor without the need to disconnect the wiring to the load.
2.7 CT Installation
The Polaris can only make use of the dedicated CTs provided by DAE. There are
two types of dedicated CTs as shown in the following descriptions.
(1) Split-core CT installation
Load side
Step 1. Open the split-core CT Step 2. Lay the load wire inside the
opening
Step 3. Snap close the split-core CT
Page 15
Meter side
Connect the CT white wire to the CT+ terminal on the meter, and the CT
black wire to the CT– terminal on the meter. Please refer to section 2.2 on
Terminals.
(2) Solid-core CT installation
Load side
With solid core CTs, the wire must be threaded through the CT, which
would necessitate disconnecting the wire from the load.
Meter side
Connect the CT white wire to the CT+ terminal on the meter, and the CT
black wire to the CT– terminal on the meter. Please refer to section 2.2 on
Terminals.

2.9 Measuring Multiple Loads with One Meter
(1) The loads must be the same configuration and come from the same power
source.
(2) Each meter can accept 3 loads at most, each load needs to have its own set
of CTs and each CT must be of the same rating.
(3) The load wires threaded through the CTs must be in the same direction. Each
of the CTs for the same phase on different loads must be connected to the
correct polarity (CT white wire to the CT+ terminal on the meter, and the CT
black wire to the CT– terminal on the meter)
e.g. 3 phase, 4 wire on 2 loads
Fuses
Page 18
2.10 Power Supply
The power supply of the Polaris is derived from the phase A voltage. To provide
additional protection for the Polaris, a fuse should be placed between the Polaris
and the power source as shown in each of the electrical wiring diagrams.
2.11 Using a Regular 5A Output CT
For installations with pre-existing CTs already in place, or if a larger capacity

CT is required than is available, then the user should choose the dedicated 5A CT4
and connect the user provided CT to the dedicated 5A CT 5 as shown in the
diagram below.
When using regular 5A output CTs, the meter needs to have its CT ratio set. For
example, when using a 500A:5A regular CTs, the CT ratio should be set to 100.

4 Troubleshooting
The Polaris meters are fully calibrated and tested during production. The Polaris
meters should work normally if installed properly by correctly following our installation
guide. If the meter has any problem, please consider the following troubleshooting
procedures.
Problems or Symptoms Possible Causes and Solutions

The LED does not light up. (a) Check that the voltage input terminal wiring are
connected properly.
(b) Check that the fuse and circuit breaker are

neither blown nor tripped, respectively.
(c) Check to make sure that power is being supplied

from the power source to the voltage input.
(d) Check that the power source voltage is within the

rated power supply.
(e) Check to make sure that the enclosure or

terminals are not damaged.
kWh value is not incrementing. (a) Check that CT wiring to the terminals.
(b) Check to make sure that the measured circuit

corresponds to its phase.
(c) Check to make sure that the power is on for the

load circuit being measured.
(d) Check the fuse or circuit breaker.
(e) Check to make sure that only the L wire passes

through the CT. If the N wire is also passing
through then remove it from the CT.
(f) The CT may be damaged or defective, swap it

with another CT for a cross check. If defective or
damaged, replace the CT.

direction and polarity must be the same.
5 Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why is the kWh value of a new Polaris meter not zero?
A. Each Polaris meter must proceed a loading test with a calibration exam before put
in stock. The kWh value exists to make sure this unit passes the calibration exam.
Q. What is the meaning of Kt = 1Wh?

A. It means 1000 pulses will be output for every kWh. Another way of saying it is that
1 pulse is output for every Watt. The P indicator will flash once for every Watt
consumed.
Q. Does the Polaris meters come with its own CTs? Can I make use of my own
CTs?
A. The Polaris meters are sold with the CTs included which cannot be used direct
connects. The Polaris 2000 meters use DAE’s dedicated CTs and can accept
neither regular 5A output CTs nor dedicated CTs from other suppliers. The CT
input of the Polaris can only accept milli-amps which matches DAE’s dedicated
CTs. Connecting a regular 5A output CT directly will thus damage the Polaris
meters.
Q. Can the CT lead wire be extended?

A. Yes, the CT lead wire can be extended up to 2000 feet. An example of a suitable
cable would be the 7958A or the 7957A from Belden cables. It is important to
make sure to consult your local electrical codes for proper sizing requirements.
Page 28
Q. Can a single CT be used to monitor multiple circuits?

A. It is possible to do so if the different circuits share the same phase and power
source. The L wire for each circuit must go through the CT in the same direction,
and the current rating of the CT in must be higher than the total amperage for all
the circuits to be measured.
Q. Can a single Polaris be used to monitor two different sub panels?

A. It is possible if the two sub panels have the same power source. If the two sub
panels do not share the same power source, then two separate Polaris must be
used.
Q. What will happen if the polarities are reversed for each of the CT?
A. The Polaris only considers the absolute value of the current and disregards the
direction; thus, the current and energy values can only be positive. However, we
still recommended that the CTs be connected with the correct wiring orientation.
Q. What does Polaris message “cht-01” mean?
A. It means that the circuit currently being measured has a power factor that is less
than 0.5. This is not normal behavior and could be caused by having the phases
reversed (voltage and current phases are not properly matched), or there may be
some run-down equipment that are in need of repair or replacement. Check to
make sure that the voltage and current inputs are matched properly, if they are,
they check the condition of equipment on the circuit being measured.
Q. I have checked and followed all the troubleshooting guidelines but my

problem is still not resolved; what should I do?
A. Contact our technical support by phone or email before concluding that the unit is
faulty and removing it. Our technical support team will help to diagnose your
problem and provide advice on potential fixes. Please see Section 8,
Supplementary Information, for our contact info.
