Connect the transmitter
to the meter
Plug the cable clip into
the middle socket on
the underside of the
transmitter.
Take the transmitter
with the cable clip to your
electricity meter box.
(Your meter box is often
found on an outside wall,
in the garage, utility
room or porch.)
Find the thick round
wires connected to your
meter. Identify the ‘live’
cable, which you may
be able to pick out
because it runs from
your electricity meter to
your fuse box. It is often
the fourth cable from the
left, or it may have a red
marker to identify it
from the other wires.
(Don’t worry, you can’t
damage anything by choosing
the wrong cable.)
Attach the clip around
your live cable, being
careful not to pull or bend
the cable too much. The
clip should fit effortlessly
around the cable and
shouldn’t pinch it.
Place the transmitter
in a dry place where it
won’t get knocked over or
damaged. It is supplied
with a velcro sticky pad on
the reverse so you
can stick it on the wall,
if necessary. For the best
signal make sure the
aerial on the transmitter
is in an upright position.
Before installing, check that your cables are in good
condition. Hazards to look out for are: deterioration (such as
loose wires), exposed copper wiring, burn marks or holes in the
cable insulation, excess heat or cracking noises, damage to the
meter. If you notice any of the hazards listed, consult a qualified
electrician or ESB Networks at 1850 372 757.
