  • Page 11: Procedure (Alternate Applications)

    PRODUCT GUIDE: EYEDRO ELECTRICITY MONITORING PRODUCTS PROCEDURE (ALTERNATE APPLICATIONS) The most common application of Eyedro Electricity Monitoring products is for monitoring of the electrical service entrance of a building. However, there are other common applications where Eyedro Electricity Monitoring products are often used. The following sub-sections provide a brief overview of some of the most common applications.
  • Page 12 PRODUCT GUIDE: EYEDRO ELECTRICITY MONITORING PRODUCTS 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.
  • Page 13 PRODUCT GUIDE: EYEDRO ELECTRICITY MONITORING PRODUCTS 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.
  • Page 14 THREE-PHASE SERVICE OR BRANCH MONITORING (DELTA OR WYE) Three-phase installations are common in commercial and industrial environments. These installations require the use of Eyedro Business (E5B*) products. Note: Electricity monitoring devices must be powered by a receptacle that is downstream of the panel where the current sensors are installed.

    3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the router (or Internet access point). Ensure the retention clip on the cable is intact and connector is securely mated. 4. Connect the appropriate end of the low-voltage power adapter to the Eyedro module. Never force connectors or apply levering action.

  • Page 19: Internet Connection

    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 a 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.
