IMPORTANT: THIS DEVICE MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED/LICENCED ELECTRICIAN,
UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY LOCAL REGULATIONS.
• Locate the main breaker panel that disconnects all power to the house. This enclosure is usually
located close to the meter.
If the main breaker panel enclosure or wiring or breakers show any sign of disrepair or damage
or you notice anything unusual about your electricity supply, such as loose wires, exposed
cabling, burn marks or holes in the insulating materials or damage to your meter then stop
immediately and consult a qualified electrician.
• Open the main breaker panel enclosure.
• TURN OFF MAIN BREAKER
• Unscrew and carefully remove the protective cover. This will reveal all wires.
• Check to make sure that there is enough room to fit the transmitter in the enclosure so that the
protective cover can be remounted. If there is not enough room seek installation help from a qualified
electrician.
• Place the transmitter as high in the enclosure as possible. A Velcro sticker is used to secure the
transmitter in place.
• Locate the two main incoming cables coming from the meter and feeding the main breakers in the
panel. They are usually the 2 thickest cables and are normally black or red. A third cable usually
thinner and marked with green or white labels is the ground and will not be used.
• Clamp one CT clamp around each main cable.
Do not pull or bend the power cables. Make sure
that the clamps can move freely and that they
do not pinch or apply any undue pressure on the cables.
• Connect the clamp leads to the bottom of the transmitter
and make sure that the center input
labeled #1 on the transmitter is always connected.
The second sensor to the left of the center input. The third input is reserved for 3-phase installations.
