Monitoring multiple services with one eGauge meter
Overview It's common to find sites with large stepdown transformers (e.g. to convert a 277/480V service to 120/208V for lighting or receptacle loads). To measure any AC load, the eGauge requires a combination of voltage references (Lx voltage terminals) and a...
Monitoring 347/600V Services
Overview The 347/600Vac wye service (347V phase to neutral, 600V phase to phase) is rarely seen in the USA, although it's quite common in Canada. As the eGauge is only rated for 277Vac from phase to neutral (480V phase to phase), it traditionally could not be...
Monitoring High Voltage DC Loads
Overview The EG4xxx meter features a low voltage terminal (Ldc) which can be used to measure 9-60Vdc (12-60Vdc is required to power the meter from the Ldc terminal). However, there are many monitoring applications where DC voltage exceeds 60Vdc. String-based ...
IMT Weather Station (Si-RS485TC-2T-v-MB)
Overview The IMT Weather Station model Si-RS485TC-2T-v-MB (referred to as the IMT sensor for the remainder of this article) is a high accuracy irradiance and cell temperature sensor. Optional attachments can be connected to monitor windspeed and ambient tempe...
Custom HTTPS certificates (EG4xxx only)
Starting in firmware v4.2 a custom HTTPS certificate may be uploaded to the meter and used for local HTTPS webserver access. This does not affect the proxy-server access (e.g., https://eGauge9999.d.egauge.net , https://eGauge9999.egaug.es or https://egauge9999...
NTP (Network Time Protocol) and Date and Time Configuration
Overview All eGauge meters use NTP (Network Time Protocol) to obtain the current date and time. The exact process used depends on the meter hardware version (eGauge2, EG30xx, EG4xxx). Access to an NTP server isn't required, but it is highly recommended to ens...
DC Split-Core CTs (eGauge DC CTs)
Visit the online store page eGauge DC CTs (model ESD-xxx-yyyy) measure the amperage on the conductor of a DC (direct current) system. Combined with DC voltage measurements (through the DC port on the eGauge meter, or the high voltage EV1000 sensor) this allo...
Formatting a USB stick on Windows 10
These instructions may not work for all versions of Windows and are provided as-is. eGauge Support cannot provide additional troubleshooting or support on formatting USB sticks. An adequate understanding of using the Windows operating system and file explorer ...
Timezone and "Z" parameter
The "Z" parameter and timezone information is only used in the XML API when exporting in CSV format. This only affects human-friendly Date & Time values in CSV exports. It does not have any affect when returning XML formatted data, nor any affect on any time-r...
RJ-11 wiring between Sensor Hub and Sensors
Please visit this article for general information on the eGauge Sensor Hub and compatible sensors. RJ-11 cables come in two varieties: "straight-through" and "reverse". Reverse is generally used in telephone systems, but the eGauge Sensor Hub uses "straight t...
Monetary registers
Overview By default, the eGauge applies a flat rate cost per kWh used or generated to the summary areas at the top of the main graph page. In the example below, the site has used 24.7 kWh at a cost of $.13 per kWh, for a grand total of $3.21 of usage (values ...
Frequency Registers
The eGauge can be set to record individual CT or line voltage frequency readings as separate registers. Firmware 4.0 and newer To add frequency registers: Navigate to Settings -> Installation Under Registers, click the "Add Registers" button Name the regi...
4-20mA Sensor (EC420)
Visit the online store page Model: EC420 Requires the 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 gen...
Authentication (HTTP Digest Authentication)
If the eGauge meter is set with site-wide password authentication, all resources will require HTTP Digest Authentication. Many programming languages and libraries have support for HTTP Digest Authentication, so well maintained and trusted libraries for HTTP Di...
Meter: eGauge Pro
Visit the online store page Model: EG4030 The eGauge Pro (EG4030) is the Pro version of the EG4xxx meter line and has 30 Sensor Inputs. See the Meter Comparison Chart for the different versions of the EG4xxx meter line and what is the best fit. The eGauge ...
