Monitoring multiple services with one eGauge meter

eGauge Installation eGauge Installation Examples

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

eGauge Installation eGauge Installation Examples

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

eGauge Installation

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)

eGauge Hardware Product Pages Environmental, Analog and Other Sensors

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)

eGauge Meter Communication

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

eGauge Meter Configuration Initial 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...
