We walk you through the key steps to installing the AcuDC 240 in a number of configurations.
There are different ways in which the voltage and current can be wired for the AcuDC 240 DC voltage, current, power and energy meter.
Voltage can be wired in two ways: direct wiring or wiring using a voltage Hall Effect sensor. Below are figures outlining the wiring of each.
Figure 1: Voltage Direct Wiring
Figure 2: Voltage Wiring Using Voltage Hall Effect Sensor
Current can be wired in three different ways: direct wiring, wiring using a shunt and wiring using a current Hall Effect sensor. Figure 3, 4 and 5, respectively, outline the three methods of wiring.

Figure 5: Wiring using a Hall Effect Sensor
You can wire the voltage and current for different systems based on the different methods above. Here are the common wiring methods used:
