CHANNEL OPTION MENU

OVERVIEW
The “Channel Option” menu section is used to define parameters which affect all 32 channels of the
power monitoring section of the GEM. These parameters need to be the setup first before proceeding
with “Channel CT” setup.
In this section, the following parameters are configured:
PT settings
Set for “Standard” or “NET” metering
Channel polarity
Electrical system’s frequency (50Hz or 60Hz)
System phase option
PT SETTINGS
Description
“PT” stands for “Potential Transformer”. The “PT” is used to step down the line voltage for voltage
sampling. The “PT Type” and “PT Range” values are used to set the step-down ratio to accurately
represent the line voltage. The “PT” also provides safe galvanic isolation from panel voltage potentials.
Setting
Verify the PT setting. This should already be pre-set and the displayed voltage should be in the 120V
range for North American residential installations.
For standard 120V/240V systems, the displayed voltage should reflect the line voltage of the outlet
where the PT (12VAC wall transformer) is plugged. This is already preset to match the PT included in
your package. It should display a voltage in the range of 105V to 130V, typically 120V.
For Countries with 230V voltage, this box should display in the range of 230V.
For 3-phase systems, refer to the GEM 3-phase documentation.
