Mounting
Mounts to either a wall or similar using the included chassis mounted
side brackets and supplied M3 x 8mm flat head screws. Mount chassis
in a place that is dry, well ventilated, and out of direct sunlight.
1. Remove side brackets and M3 x 8mm screws from shipping box.
2. Align the holes in the bracket with threaded holes on the two
short sides of the SEM-1024 energy monitor.
3. Screw bracket to chassis using the supplied M3 x 8mm screws. Do
not over-tighten.
4. Set the SEM-1024 onto the wall where it will be mounted. The
SEM-1024 can be positioned with ports facing vertically or hori-
zontally. Level the unit and mark on the wall the mounting holes in
the two brackets.
5. If there is a sub-wall to screw into, screw unit to wall using appro-
priate screws. If no sub-wall is available, wall anchors can be used.
Alternatively, the chassis can be set into a rack, cabinet, or similar.
Ensure the SEM-1024 is secured to a solid, flat, level surface.
Install Current Transformers
SAFETY CAUTIONS! Before beginning the installation process,
read through the following precautions.
– The installation of a Current Transformer requires making con-
nections within an electrical panel. Savant recommends that a
licensed electrician perform the installation.
– The install should obey all local electrical codes.
– Only Current Transformers offered from Savant are supported.
These CT's are internally shunted and safer than other commer-
cially available Current Transformers.
Connecting Current Transformers
Follow instructions below when installing the current transformers into
an electrical breaker panel.
1. Remove power from electrical panel by switching the main break-
er to the Off position.
2. Remove the electrical panel front cover and set aside. With a volt-
age tester, verify power was removed to the individual breakers.
3. Install the Current Transformers over each conductor being
monitored. Depending on the current transformer being used will
determine how it is installed. See below.
20 and 50 Amp Current Transformers
A. Pry the clip on the side of the Current Transformer away from
the housing and hinge open the Current Transformer.
B. Position the conductor being measured into the opening of the
Current Transformer. Close the Current Transformer ensuring
the clip on the side snaps into place. See images to the right.
IMPORTANT! To observe proper polarity, install the 20 and 50A
current transformers with arrows pointing in the direction
of current flow (towards the load).
C. Route the wire through a pre-installed cable clamp on the side
of the panel and run wire to the SEM-1024 chassis.
150 Amp Current Transformers
A. Squeeze the handle on side of Current Transformer until the
opposite end opens.
B. Position the open end of Current Transformer over the conduc-
tor and release the handle so the wire settles inside the opening
of Current Transformer.
IMPORTANT! To observe proper polarity, install the 150A or larger
current transformers with the label on the Current Trans-
former facing the source of the power.
C. Route the wire through a pre-installed cable clamp on the side
of the panel and run wire to the SEM-1024.
4. Following steps below, install the supplied 2-pin screw down con-
nector onto the wires of each Current Transformer.
A. With a small slotted screwdriver, turn the screws on the con-
nector counterclockwise (CCW) until the silver crimps open
enough to slide the stripped wire into the square slots.
B. Strip back insulation on each wire to 1/4 inch and insert the
stripped wire into proper connection. See the
former and Voltage Sensor Input Polarity
information.
C. Turn screws clockwise (CW) until the crimps tighten around
each wire. Tug on wire a bit to verify they are secure. Continue
until all Current Transformers have a connector added to it.
5. Plug the connector into the appropriate Current Transformer input
on the SEM-1024.
6. Replace the breaker panel front cover once all Current Transform-
ers are installed.
7. Switch main breaker to the ON position.
Voltage Sensor (SEM-VT01)
The SEM-VT01 is a highly accurate voltage transformer that reduces
the input voltage by a factor of .001. For example, if the input voltage
is 120V AC, the output of the SEM-VT01 will be .120V AC. By reducing
the voltage, the SEM-1024 can monitor individual circuits with excep-
tional accuracy.
Important Information !
– Voltage sensors must be used in 3 Phase systems and when mea-
suring bi-directional circuits.
– One voltage sensor is required for each phase.
– The SEM-VT01 is not required for Single Phase Circuits unless high-
er accuracy is required.
– Install SEM-VT01 voltage sensor as close as possible to the electric
breaker panel.

Install Voltage Sensor
Savant requires a licensed electrician be used to connect the SEM-
VT01 to the high voltage side. Follow instructions below to install. The
instructions assume the electrical outlet boxes are mounted and an
electric circuit is run into the box.
1. Switch the circuit breaker to the circuit that the SEM-VT01 is being
2. Using diagram below, make high voltage connections.
3. Screw the SEM-VT01 into the electrical box.
4. Using the supplied 2-pin screw down connectors and #18 AWG
5. For instructions on how to install wires into the 2-pin connectors,
