Efergy Energy Meters show the amount of energy that a household is consuming at the time the display is read. The display can also give the user a reading showing usage in financial terms.
Our Wireless Energy Meters are simple to install and use. A CT sensor is clipped onto the live feed cable of your breaker panel. A lead from the sensor is connected to the Efergy Transmitter. This Transmitter wirelessly sends real-time data to the Energy Display.
When installing the Efergy Energy Meter you should find that everything is straight-forward. However, there are a number of important health and safety issues which you need to be aware of: The current sensors clip onto the supply cables inside the main electrical panel, which delivers power to your home.

Efergy energy monitoring systems are considered plug and play devices that meet all regulatory requirements for installation in the United States and Canada. Do not force or bend the cables at any point during installation. If you are worried or have any concerns about the installation, please contact a qualified electrician immediately.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION The first thing you should do is unpack your Efergy Energy Monitor. Install the CT Sensor clamp into your power meter fuse box. There are a couple of options here, you can install the clamp either onto your incoming mains cable, this will check you overall power, or onto a separate individual circuit like a hot tub, air conditioner or solar systems circuit to measure individual power for an appliance or solar feed in.
1. Find the Main Feed Wires You can normally find your main electrical panel Remove the outside cover from your electrical inside your home on the other side of the wall panel and locate the main feed wires. You should from your electric utility meter.

ALWAYS SHUT DOWN THE POWER TO YOUR ELECTRICAL PANEL FIRST AND PROCEED WITH CAUTION! For example, if you have a single tariff meter you should find four cables exiting the meter (see Diagram A). The feed cable is the live cable exiting from the meter to the fuse box or main switch. Clip the Sensor to Cable 4.
