FINDING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE FOR YOUR ELECTRICITY METER (UK)
The Efergy energy meter is installed by clamping the sensor clips around the incoming mains
power cables leading to your electricity meter.
FINDING YOUR ELECTRICITY METER
Find out about your electricity meter and check which type you have. It is normally found on an
outer wall, in the garage, in the cellar or in a utility room. If you live in a flat, it may be located near
the entry door, in the stairway, or in the cellar. Make sure the cables exiting the bottom of the
electricity meter are accessible.
Modern offices and flats can have safety panels which protect the cables entering the electricity
meter. If this is your situation, we recommend that you contact a qualified electrician.
FINDING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE
There are four cables at the bottom of the electricity
meter. The cable on the right (cable 4) is always the
live feed wire (Active phase) from the meter to the
fuse box (se diagram 1).
Certain installations have cables 1 and 2 entirely or par
-
tially covered in order to hinder modification or home
installation of cables before the meter (see diagram 2).
Connect the sensor to cable 4 (on the far right)
Meters with dual tariffs (see diagram 3) often have an
extra cable between cable 3 and 4. The extra cable
has a smaller diameter than the other cables and
leads to another electricity meter close by.
