# eGauge High Voltage Sensor (EV1000) ##### [ Visit the online store page](https://store.egauge.net/High-Voltage-Sensor "Visit the online store now!") ##### Model: EV1000
Requires the [**eGauge Sensor Hub**](https://kb.egauge.net/books/egauge-hardware-product-pages/page/sensor-hub-%28esh044%29 "eGauge Sensor Hub") and eGauge model EG4xxx (Pro or Core), not compatible with older model units.
Only use straight-through RJ-11 cables to connect powered sensors to the Sensor Hub. Telephone systems generally use "reverse" style RJ-11 cables which are incompatible with the Sensor Hub. See **[this article](https://kb.egauge.net/books/egauge-installation/page/rj-11-wiring-between-sensor-hub-and-sensors)** for more information on verifying the correct RJ-11 wiring. Every Sensor Hub compatible sensor sold by eGauge Systems comes with a straight-through RJ-11 cable.
The eGauge High Voltage sensor is used in conjunction with the [Sensor Hub](https://kb.egauge.net/books/sensors/page/sensor-hub-%28esh044%29) and an EG4xxx model meter (Core or Pro) which allows EG4xxx meters to read voltages up to 1,000 VDC or 707 VAC.[](https://kb.egauge.net/uploads/images/gallery/2021-02/main.png) |
*eGauge EV1000 High Voltage Sensor* |
The high voltage inputs to the EV1000 can be connected Line-to-Line or Line-to-Neutral as long as the voltage potential does not exceed 1,000 VDC or 707 VAC. Safety grounds cannot be used for voltage measurements.
#### Connection to EG4xxx Meter 1. It is not advisable to extend the RJ11 leads from the Sensor to Sensor Hub. It is acceptable to use a longer RJ45 cable from the *Sensor Hub* to the *eGauge*. 2. If RJ11 cable between *Sensor* and *Sensor Hub* must be extended, it is advisable to use twisted pair wires, such as a CAT5 cable with RJ11 plugs (most commonly used for DSL modems). 3. If terminating own cables, both RJ11 and RJ45 cables should be straight-through cables, with the same color order on both ends. 4. See Installation Examples for common use cases of the EV1000. 1. [Install the sensors and Sensor Hub](https://kb.egauge.net/link/174#bkmrk-assembly%2Finstallatio). 2. Connect the EV1000 to a voltage reference no greater than 1000Vdc or 707Vac. 3. [Configure the sensors](https://kb.egauge.net/books/sensors/page/configuring-ctid-enabled-sensors). #### Connection to non-eGauge meter inputs Use the 4-pin connector next to the RJ11 port. +5 VDC and ground is required to power the sensor. SIG+ and SIG- output a ±5V signal proportional to the line inputs. ## Documents - [Manual](https://www.egauge.net/media/support/docs/ev1000-manual.pdf) - [Spec Sheet](https://www.egauge.net/media/support/docs/WEB-EV1000-datasheet.pdf) - [FCC Declaration](https://www.egauge.net/media/support/docs/ev1000-fcc-declaration-of-conformity.pdf) ## Installation Examples - [480V or 600V Delta Service](https://kb.egauge.net/books/egauge-installation/page/monitoring-480v-and-600v-delta-systems) - [347/600V Service](https://kb.egauge.net/books/egauge-installation/page/monitoring-347600v-services) - [Multiple Services](https://kb.egauge.net/books/egauge-installation/page/monitoring-multiple-services-with-one-egauge-meter) ## Related Information - [Sensor Hub Product Page](https://kb.egauge.net/books/egauge-hardware-product-pages/page/sensor-hub-%28esh044%29) - [Configuring CTid Sensors](https://kb.egauge.net/books/egauge-meter-configuration/page/configuring-ctid-enabled-sensors) - [Monitoring 347/600V Wye Services](https://kb.egauge.net/books/advanced-egauge-operation/page/monitoring-347600v-services) ###
