FIND THE FEED CABLE
54
The e2 monitor is installed by clipping the sensor around the feed
cable of your electricity meter.
Locate Your Electricity Meter
Locate your electricity meter and determine its type. You can
normally find this on an outside wall, in the garage, basement or
utility room. If you live in a flat, it can often be found outside your
front door, in the communal stair case, or in the basement.
Ensure there is enough of accessible cable coming from the
bottom of your electricity meter.
Modern office blocks and apartments may have safety panels
to protect wires entering the meter. It is recommended that
professional electricians be contacted where this is the case.
Find The Feed Cable
You should find four cables exiting the meter. The feed cable
(Cable 4) is the live cable exiting from the meter to the fuse box.
Connect the sensor to Cable 4 (Cable 4 will generally be on the
right hand end of the meter, see Diagram 1).
Some installations will have Cable 1 and Cable 2 covered, or
partially covered to prevent any tampering with the supply (see
Diagram 2). Attach the sensor to Cable 4 (far right cable).
Dual Tariff meters (Diagram 3) will often
have an auxiliary cable running between
Cable 3 and Cable 4. Auxiliary cables
will be smaller in diameter than the
feed cables, and will run into an
adjoining metering device.
Newer installations will normally have two
cables exiting from the bottom of the
meter. One is the earth cable, the other
the live feed cable. The sensor should be
clipped around the live feed cable (this
is normally brown coloured).
If you have a three phase supply, or
economy 7 meter, then you may require
additional sensors. These can be simply
plugged into the additional sockets at
the base of the transmitter. Please
contact your supplier for additional
sensors.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
YOU TRY TO ATTACH THE SENSOR IF
THERE IS ANY DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRIC
METER CABLES. NO CABLES NEED TO
BE CUT. DO NOT CUT ANY CABLES.
