Metering – How to Install the GEM120CT Meter

This guide explains how to wire and mount the GEM120CT correctly to ensure accurate readings.

Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Isolate power before working on the system.
  2. Mount the GEM120CT on a DIN rail in the distribution board.
  3. Connect voltage references:
    Meter Terminal – 3  – Neutral (N) – Neutral supply
    Meter Terminal – 4  – Live (L1) – Live grid feed
  4. Install CT clamp:
    • Place around the live cable only (not neutral).
    • Arrow on clamp must face toward the property load.
    • Connect CT clamp wires to the bottom of the meter:
      Port – 1 – White – CT+
      Port – 2 – Black – CT-
  5. Tighten all terminals and ensure the CT clamp is fully closed.
  6. Power on the system and confirm LED activity.

Notes

  • Do not extend or shorten CT wires as this will cause inaccurate readings.
  • Use a single live conductor within the clamp only.
