    InTroducTIon the measuring and monitoring of energy is the basis for saving energy. you need this information in order to know where and how you can save money. efergy is an energy meter which shows how much energy is consumed in your home at the time you read the display. the display can also give the user information on consumed energy costs. you can also move the receiver around the house and turn on or off an electrical device to see the difference in power consumption directly on the display. If you have any questions regarding technical problems please contact customer Services.

    It IS very ImPortant that you take Into conSIderatIon a few SImPle PrecautIonary meaSureS before uSIng thIS Product efergy energy meters are easy to install. Still, there are some essential safety rules that you must be conscious of: • In the uk or Ireland the installation of the energy meter is easy, since the only thing that is required is to connect a sensor to the incoming mains power cable. If you still feel unsure as to how to mount the sensor, we recommend that you contact a qualified electrician. • In the Scandinavian countries a 3-phase system is used, which means that one must install all three included sensors. the sensor clamps should be clamped over the incoming electrical cables in or outside the distribution box. contact a qualified electrician if you unsure as to how to install the sensors. • read and follow the important information contained in the following pages. remember that the energy meter’s sensors do not need to have direct electrical contact at the measuring point. the sensors should sit around the cable. • If you find something unusual in or around the distribution box like loose cables, bare cables, burn marks, openings in the insulation jacket or any other damage, etc. you must immediately quit working and contact your electric company or the person responsible for electrical installations. • the cables must not be bent or overloaded when mounting the sensors. If you are uneasy or have any questions regarding the mounting of the energy meter's sensors, contact a qualified electrician immediately. the sensors do not need to be removed during the lifetime of the equipment. however, batteries need to be changed occasionally in the transmitter and display unit. the sensors do not have any batteries that need to be changed.

  • Page 6: Finding The Power Supply Cable For Your Electricity Meter (Uk)

    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 Diagram 1 Diagram 2 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.
  • Page 7 newer installations normally have two Diagram 3 cables on the underside of the meter. one of the cables is the earth cable and the other is the feed cable. the sensor should be clamped around the feed cable (normally coloured brown). If you have a 3-phase supply or if you have an economy 7 meter you will need additional sensors. the extra sensors easily connect to Cable 4 the socket at the base of the transmitter. n.b. the energy meter comes with 3 sensors. Extra cable Safety you should under no circumstances connect a sensor to a cable if any of the cables leading to the meter is damaged in any way. no cables need to be cut. do not clip any cables. do not break any seals or such on the meter. contact your local electricity supplier if you are at all uncertain about connecting the sensor to the correct cable.

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 homes and flats can have safety panels which protect the cables entering the meter. these are often sealed. under no circumstances should the seals be broken other than by a qualified electrician. Instead, we recommend that the sensors be installed after the main switch in your distribution box. If you still feel unsure as to how to mount the sensor, we recommend that you contact a qualified electrician.
  • Page 9 fIndIng the Power SuPPly cable In Sweden, norway and finland there are four feed cables entering the electricity meter: 3 live phases (l1, l2, l3) and 1 neutral (n), neutral is normally blue and the live cables are either black or brown. cables l1 – l2 – l3 are live and it is these that the sensors should be attached to.
