IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
It is important that you take some simple precautions before using this product. Incorrect use
or poor safety practices can result in injury or fatality. Whenever possible turn off the main
breaker outside your home feeding power to your electric panel.
When installing the efergy monitor you should find that everything is straight-forward. However
there are a number of important health and safety issues which you should be aware of:
The CT sensor clip fits onto the internal live feed cable inside the electricity meter, which delivers
the live supply to your home.
Please read and act upon the important information on the following pages. Remember
the device is not intrusive and does not require rewiring; no wires or cables need to be cut,
removed, or modified to perform this installation.
efergy energy monitoring systems are considered plug and play devices that meet all
regulatory requirements for installation in Canada and the United States.
In some countries (i.e. Australia) the live cable can only be accessed by qualified electricians.
If you notice anything unusual about the electricity supply such as loose wires, exposed cabling,
burn marks, holes in the insulating materials or damage to the electric wires in the panel or
where the CT current sensors are to be attached, stop immediately and report the findings to
your supply company.

Do not force or bend the cables at any point during installation. If you are worried or have any
concerns about the installation, please contact a qualified electrician immediately.
The user does not need to remove the sensor through the working life of the unit. Battery
changes are performed on the transmitter and on the display. There are no batteries to change
in the sensor.
Even with the main breaker in the off position, the connection lugs where the main wires
terminate at the main breaker may still be live with potentially lethal voltage. Stay clear of these
connections during the installation of the CT sensors (see page 6).
The CT sensors themselves are insulated so do not be concerned if they slide down the main
wire to the breaker after being secured around the insulated wire. A plastic tie wrap (with 2” of
the tie not cut off) secured to the main wire under the desired location for the CT sensor may
be used to keep the CT sensor from sliding down the wire.
Millions of these systems have been installed without incident but please follow safe work
practices as outlined during the installation.
