Transmitter Coupler onto each main wire. There may be a ground wire that’s gray or white;
you’ll want to skip this wire. Just attach each sensor around the live wires only. If you’re
interested in just monitoring one appliance such as you’re a/c or water heater, just install a
coupler to that particular devices power feed in the breaker box. Most household electricity
breaker panel’s use single-phase, however some larger homes or townhomes can use three-
phase. Most standalone business buildings will use three-phase. Note for three-phase the
iConserve unit is required to have a sensor connected to each of the three-phase live main
power cables. We offer two sensor sizes 10mm and 16mm. You will only use one size and at
most use three sensors (called 3 Phase) at one time. If you’re not sure how many you need to
use or what size please consult your electric company or a local certified electrician.
As shown in the example, once the live main power cable is found clip the transmitter’s coupler
sensor around the insulated live main power cable. **DO NOT TOUCH OR CLIP THE SENSOR
AROUND RAW METAL OR UNINSULATED WIRING. ** The sensor coupler can be clipped
anywhere along the insulated live main power cable, exact location doesn’t matter. Just try and
clip it on a bend in the cable so it simply rests on the bend and nothing else is interfered with.
