This guide describes the process for installing, configuring, and adding a Savant Energy Monitor to a RacePoint Blueprint™ configuration. Savant Energy Monitors
are connected to a home's existing electrical panel using clip-on current transformers, and to the Savant Host via the local network. They allow the user to
monitor all aspects of energy usage including heating, appliances, lighting, and more. Savant Energy Monitoring can provide data on the home's overall energy
use and production that is viewable any time - locally or remotely.
IMPORTANT! This guide focuses on deploying a Savant Energy Monitor for use in the Savant Pro App.

Voltage transformers should be installed on there own breakers with no load attached. 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.
Route the wire through a cable clamp on the side of the panel and run wire to the SEM-2015/SEM-1024. Following steps below, install the supplied 2-pin screw down connector onto the wires of each current transformer.
