Emporia Vue Installation Manual

Installation Guide

WARNING! The Emporia Vue requires installing transformers inside your home’s electrical panel and working around dangerous voltage that could lead to injury or death. Emporia recommends that installation be performed by a skilled person such as a licensed electrician or other qualified professional in accordance with the regional electrical code where it is being installed.

Remarque: les ports 3,5 mm et 2,5 mm ne doivent être utilisés que pour connecter les pinces CT fournies au moniteur d'énergie. Ils ne sont pas destinés à transporter un signal audio.

Energy monitor connections

The energy monitor is the hub of the Emporia Vue. The 3.5mm A, B, and C audio jack ports on the top of the monitor are the inputs for the 200A main CTs (your bundle may only have included two). The coaxial connector for the WiFi cable is also on the top. The 2.5mm 1 through 16 audio jack ports on the sides of the monitor are the inputs for the 50A CTs (your bundle may have come with 16 or 8 CTs, or none at all). The port for the wiring harness is located on the bottom of the monitor. All of the ports are clearly labeled on the back of the energy monitor.

Step 1: Get the App

Use your phone to check the signal strength of your Wi-Fi network next to the electrical panel in your home. Low/no signal may require a Wi-Fi extender for the Vue to work. Download the Emporia Energy app onto your phone or tablet from the Apple App Store, from Google Play, or from emporiaenergy.com/app. Create an account and begin the setup process.

Step 2: Turn off the main breaker and remove the cover

In your electric panel, turn off the main breaker, although it may be located elsewhere in your house or you may not even have one. This turns off all the circuits in your home. Next, remove any screws holding the cover to the panel and remove the cover to access the circuit breakers and the live service mains!

Step 3: Find a place for the monitor

Locate a place within your electrical panel for your Vue energy monitor. Your breaker box may be oriented differently, but the monitor is small and designed to fit easily in the box. Find a place that works for you.
