NetThings Energy Manager Specification & Installation Manual

ENERGY MANAGER
SPECIFICATIONS &
INSTALLATION GUIDE
Energy Manager for the home is a sophisticated but low-cost, mains
powered integrated energy, heat and water monitoring package that
saves money by helping you reduce your energy consumption.
It is easy to install in new homes or retrofit into existing properties.
The heart of the system is the NetThings measurement unit,
which is normally installed close to the home consumer unit, with
a mains power supply. The Unit can be wired with up to 6 sensors
for in-coming mains electricity, gas and water supplies or to monitor
the electrical output from solar PV systems, or the heat /cooling
output from solar thermal systems or district heating schemes.
CT (current transducer) clips are used for the electricity supplies,
pulse connectors for the gas, water meters and heat meters,
which are all wired in directly to NetThings.
On-going energy consumption and costs are stored continually
within the NetThings unit and can also be downloaded to a
removable microSD card (not supplied). Built-in WiFi allows Energy
Manager to communicate real-time monetary values of your energy
use directly with a local display in the home without requiring an
existing broadband internet connection. During the summer of 2015
NetThings will be launching their cloud service, where data will be
viewable from anywhere in the world via an internet browser.
The NetThings monitor and 5" local display screen qualify
for 2 credits under the Code for Sustainable Homes.
