1.0 Introduction

This section contains instructions for installation,
checkout, and programming the Energy Sentry 9212
Residential Electric Demand Controller. 

 In order to

ensure proper installation and warranty coverage,
please read this section thoroughly before actually
proceeding with the installation.

Note:

  All wiring must be installed in accordance

with national and local electrical codes.

Important:

  If the Energy Sentry 9212 is to be con-

nected to a heat pump compressor or air conditioning
compressor, ensure that you complete Section 17, “Sys-
tem Programming.”

2.0 Tools and

Materials Required

2.1 Tools Required

•

Flat blade type screwdriver

•

Phillips head screwdriver

•

Drywall Knife

•

Pliers

•

Amp-Clamp Current Sensor (if available)

•

Digital Volt Meter (required for trouble
shooting only)

2.2 Material Required

(not provided)

•

Four 1/4" x 1" lag bolts and/or appropriate hard-
ware for mounting Relay Unit

•

15 Amp single pole circuit breaker for demand
controller 120 VAC Power Supply

•

Sufficient length of 4 Conductor Control Cable -
Energy Sentry P/N - 0715-0009 or Belden #8489 or

able and may cause the controller to read power
incorrectly.  

Use of thermostat wire will void the

warranty.

•

Sufficient length of appropriate hookup wire (#
14 AWG) to connect 120 volt power and ground
from load center to Relay Unit. Sufficient con-
duit, #10 AWG or #12 AWG wire (depending on
