PRODUCT GUIDE: EYEDRO-HOME AND EYEDRO5-EHEM1 SINGLE-PHASE ELECTRICITY MONITORING SYSTEM BALANCED BRANCH CIRCUIT MONITORING Balanced branch circuits are common in split-phase electrical services and typically used for large appliances throughout the building. Common examples of balanced loads are electric heaters/baseboards, electric water heaters, air conditioners, heat pumps, pool pumps, etc. These circuits can be identified by a double-pole breaker in the electrical panel.

PRODUCT GUIDE: EYEDRO-HOME AND EYEDRO5-EHEM1 SINGLE-PHASE ELECTRICITY MONITORING SYSTEM UNBALANCED BRANCH CIRCUIT MONITORING Unbalanced branch circuits are common in split-phase electrical services and typically used for large appliances, split receptacles, and sub-panel feeders throughout the building. A typical split-phase residential service entrance is also an example of a 240V unbalanced circuit. These are circuits with both 120V and 240V components.

PRODUCT GUIDE: EYEDRO-HOME AND EYEDRO5-EHEM1 SINGLE-PHASE ELECTRICITY MONITORING SYSTEM PROCEDURE (HORIZONTAL MOUNT) Mounting is not required for horizontal installations (i.e., on a desktop or shelf). If added security is desired, follow instructions for vertical mounting using screws or double-sided tape.
Never force connectors or apply levering action. Ensure all connections are secure. For devices with both Ethernet and Wi-Fi (EYEDRO-HOME), the Ethernet cable must be plugged in before power is applied to the device for Ethernet communication to be used.
A good test would be to plug a laptop or computer into the same Ethernet port that you intend to use for your (wired) Eyedro product, or, if installing an Eyedro Wi-Fi product, provision it to connect to the same Wi-Fi network – if you can open a browser and navigate the web no additional configuration is likely needed.
2. Using the same phone/tablet/computer, search for available Wi-Fi networks and connect to the Wi-Fi network created by your Eyedro device. The name of the created network will be “Eyedro[xxx-yyyyy]” where xxx-yyyyy matches the serial number of the device. 3. Open a browser and go to eyedro.com/setup.
Device is connected to the provisioned network and should appear as ‘Active’ in MyEyedro. If the status lights are still not green (connected) after following the procedure, cycle power to the Eyedro device and try the procedure again – carefully following all instructions and notes.
(or login if you have an existing account). 2. From the system configuration screen, enter the serial number of your Eyedro Module(s) – found on the back of the device(s). For more information on MyEyedro and complete instructions for adding devices, refer to the online documentation and user guide found at http://eyedro.com/support...
