HARDWARE INSTALLATION
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
The efergy elite is installed by clipping the CT sensors around the feed wires of your electric
panel. In Canada and the United States, the residential voltage is 120V for small appliances
and lighting and 240V for major appliances and equipment, such as central air conditioner,
electric water heater and oven.
Note - For a 120/240V panel (typical residential electric panel) power is measured using two CT
sensors. Set the reference point voltage during Monitor Setup to 120V or 130V for most rural
installations. For professional installation please consult the Technical Notes for Electrician
(see page 20).
Installation for Three Phase Panels
The elite is installed by clipping the CT sensors around the feed wires of your electric panel.
In the case of a commercial or industrial three phase panel or service, you must use three CT
sensors to measure all three phases. Simply order an additional CT sensor from your dealer.
Identify the three power wires providing service to your electric panel. Open and place one CT
sensor around each of the three main feed wires.
Installing Transmitter for Three Phase
Plug the three CT sensor cables into the transmitter. Mount the transmitter on the wall next
to the electric panel. This will make it easier to replace the batteries (alternatively on some
transmitters you can use a 5V DC mains adaptor, check your box for details). Readings for a
three phase system may not be accurate depending on connection and loading system.
IN THE BOX
Your elite pack contains the following elements:
2 x XL CT Sensors
1 x Transmitter
1 x elite Wireless Energy Monitor
6 x AA Batteries
You will need to fit the CT sensors to the live
feed cable which connects to the consumer
unit. Any power you use in your home will pass
through this cable.
The clip on the sensor acts as a current sensor
and relays the amount of current being drawn in
the home to the transmitter. From there it is sent
wirelessly to the elite wireless energy monitor,
which shows you how much power is being
consumed.
Some transmitters alternatively may be powered
by a 5V DC adaptor, which is not included in
the box. Contact your local electrical dealer for
more information and purchase.
It also includes:
1 x Instruction manual for the monitor
1 x Quick Start Guide
