SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING! Your electric panel contains energized parts. This device must be installed by a
qualified electrician, unless otherwise permitted by local regulations.
It is important that you take some simple precautions before using this product. Incorrect use or
poor safety practices can result in injury or fatality. Whenever possible, turn off the main breaker
outside your home feeding power to your electricity panel.
When installing the Efergy Energy Meter you should find that everything is straight-forward. However,
there are a number of important health and safety issues which you need to be aware of:
The current sensors clip onto the supply cables inside the main electrical panel, which delivers
power to your home.
Do not touch any metallic connections during the installation of the sensors. Do not carry out
this installation if under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Remember the device is not intrusive and does not require rewiring; no wires or cables need to
be cut, removed or modified to perform this installation. If you notice anything unusual about the
electricity supply such as loose wires, exposed cabling, burn marks, holes in the insulating
materials or damage to the electric wires in the service panel or where the sensor is to be
attached, stop immediately and report the findings to your supply company.
