Read the safety instructions carefully before installing your npower home

in this guide. If you are unsure about installing your npower home energy
monitor or if you have any concerns after reading the safety instructions in this
guide please DO NOT proceed. This product is not recommended to be used
outside the UK and Ireland.
Before you start
Remember, YOU are responsible for your own safety whilst installing your
npower home energy monitor. Please read the following very carefully.
Inspect your electricity meter and cabling and look for loose wires, exposed
copper, damage to the outer insulation or damage to the meter and surrounding
equipment. If your electricity meter is in an outside meter cabinet you should
also check the cabinet for cracks and damage to the door, being especially
careful to notice if water has got into the cabinet.
Check your npower home energy monitor is in good condition. Look for
cracks or other damage to the plastic casing, and loose or damaged cables.
If the product appears damaged or faulty contact the technical support
helpline (page 3).
Now you’re ready to install your monitor and we want you to be safe, so:
•
If your meter is hard to access, take extra care using a ladder.
•
DO NOT work in poor light or without an adequate light source.
•
DO NOT install if your meter cables look like they’ve been tampered with
or aren’t encased in plastic.
•
DO NOT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES force or bend the cables or cut or
remove any tie wraps.
•
DO NOT remove any paper labels or crimped metal wire seals, these are
anti-tamper devices.
•
In the unlikely event a meter cable works loose, IMMEDIATELY CEASE
INSTALLATION of your npower home energy monitor. DO NOT touch
any exposed copper wires or cores or allow any exposed copper to touch
anything else. Immediately call a qualified electrician.
•
DO NOT try to re-insert any loose cables.
If at any point your meter is unsafe please STOP THE INSTALLATION IMMEDIATELY
and contact the technical support line on page 3.
DO NOT install the sensor if you notice anything of concern during your inspection.
