INSTALLATION
As shown in Figure 1, the eGauge has three input connectors: the
AC Mains
is a 5-
pin connector used to wire the device to the building supply. The
DC Connector
is a 2-pin connector for monitoring or powering from a DC voltage. The
CT
Connector
is used to connect current transformers (CTs) or other sensors. The
LCD and multi-switch provide some user interface.
The unit also has an Ethernet port (RJ45 connector) which can be used to hard-
wire the device to a Local Area Network (LAN). It also has two USB ports (Type-
A Female) to interface to various other IT devices.
An LCD shows a basic user interface with readouts from the set variable registers.
It may be controlled through the multi-switch for basic control and configuration.

LCD
The
LCD
is an installation aid shown in Figure 2. When powered on, the LCD
will show a eGauge logo as the device boots. During this time the backlight will
flicker showing boot activity. Once the LCD shows the first register screen, the
device is automatically recording data if configured to do so.
