5 minutes. Be sure to have a flashlight, PPE and all tools and supplies readily accessible before starting. WARNING: Use lock-out tag-out procedures to ensure power remains off until Smappee installation is complete.
Accessing the Connectors To get full access to all connectors of the Smappee monitor, you should remove the two covers. For removing the covers, insert a screwdriver at the sides of the covers and carefully pull up the cover.
Step 3: Mount Smappee Pro monitor Find a suitable location just outside of the electrical panel and mount the Smappee Pro monitor to the wall using screws. Note: The Smappee can only be mounted indoors. Hint: • If the Smappee is mounted inside a metal box, use only Ethernet Connection.
Step 4: Connect the voltage measurement and power supply wiring Remove the Smappee Pro monitor covers with a flathead screwdriver and locate the wiring harness unit (green 8-pin connector block) For 230-400V or 277-480V systems, single- or 3-Phase electric service, locate an appropriate breaker to mount the voltage wiring.
• The circuit breaker should always be the disconnecting device for the Smappee monitor. • All wires used should have a diameter between 0.75 and 2.5mm². Installation Variants There are three different Installation Variants (cfr. Europe): • 3-Phase with Neutral ("Star") •...

When submetering in a 3-Phase delta configuration, always mount a CT around each phase. • Smappee only supports CT’s that are or can be supplied. No other CT’s should be used. • Different current transformer (standard and Rogowski) types can be mixed on a Smappee Pro.
Step 6: Plug in the internet connection Choose the best method of connecting the Smappee Pro monitor to the internet from the following options: a) Ethernet cable b) External Wi-Fi module (USB): This option requires a strong Wi-Fi signal from a local network at the monitor.
Wi-Fi antenna USB or ethernet cable must be plugged into the monitor (before power ON) Replace the cover on the electrical panel and label the Smappee breaker(s). Then mount the cover caps on the monitor to cover all electrical connections and use zip ties to secure conductors together.
Switch on the main breaker. Then switch on the power to the Smappee Pro monitor at the breaker. Smappee Pro will take at least 3 minutes to fully initiate once powered on for the first time. It is advised to wait 5 minutes to review.
