time period is the forecast of a complete
day, week or month based on data
accumulated during a smaller time frame.
E.g. Current day has an accumulated data

 Retrieve and View the History Data of the Last 24 Months

From the default display screen, click on the HISTORY key three times and notice that "Monthly" will be
displayed on the screen (See picture below).

Antenna Icon and Clamp on Sensor Icon on the Display

When the monitor successfully receives a signal from the transmitter, the antenna icon appears on the top
left corner of the display screen. Located beside the antenna icon on the display, is the clamp-on sensor
icon which indicates the number of clamp-on sensors connected to the transmitter.

7. Battery Status

The default screen also indicates the battery status of the Monitor (Battery icon with an
"M"), located at the top of the screen. The icon displays battery condition as full, half-full

and weak (corresponding to 3.9V, <3.9V and >3.1V, <3.1V respectively).

Only when the total battery power for the Transmitter / Sender is below 2.3V will the low
battery warning icon appear. The low battery indicator for the transmitter is represented by a
battery icon with a "T". The warning icon will flash once every second to remind the user to
replace the batteries

Backlight

When powered with batteries, the backlight of the monitor is available only between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00
a.m. when there is key operation.

On the other hand, when the monitor is powered by the external power adapter, the display backlight goes
on whenever there is a key operation.

Histogram

The purpose of the histogram (on the default display screen) is to demonstrate the energy consumption
tendency for the week. The number of bars displayed on the histogram for each day can range between
zero (meaning no energy consumption) to five (5). The bars appear once the value has reached more than
1/3 of the real value.

Depending of the energy consumption, if the highest consumption is equal to or
below 10kWh, the full scale of the histogram will be displayed as 10kWh. This means
that each bar in the histogram has a value of 2kWh or (10kWh/5 = 2kWh)

If the highest daily energy consumption is between 10kWh and 100kWh, the scale on
the histogram will be displayed as 100kWh. This means that the value of each bar is
20kWh.

If the highest daily energy consumption exceeds 100kWh, the scale on the histogram
will be displayed as 1000kWh. This means each bar has a value of 200kWh.

Note: The histogram will appear once sufficient data has been gathered.

Signal Frequency Setting (Transmitter)

Push and hold the button (on transmitter) for 3 seconds, the LED light will change color.
To change the light color again, release the button and push again for 3 seconds. Once
set, the LED will flash in the selected color.
The light color codes represent the following signal frequencies.

 Red light = 10s
 Blue light = 15s
 Blue + Red light = 20s

Sensor Clamps

Each transmitter can support up to 3 sensor clamps. All sensor clamps are detachable from the transmitter.
The measurement range of 18mm clamp is 0.2amps to 200amps.
Accuracy: for range 0.2-1amps, 20%; for 1-150amps, 7%; for 150-200amps, 15%

Transmitter can be used with 25mm clamp, sold separately.
The measurement range of the 25mm clamp is 0.2amps to 200amps.
Accuracy: for range 0.2-1amps, 35%; for range 1-200amps, 15%.

The transmitter for 18mm clamp cannot be used with 25mm clamp and vice versa.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please contact a qualified electrician to carry out the installation. We will not be held
responsible for damage as a result of a wrong connection which may cause injury or death. Please note that
the monitor displays the apparent Power (VA) and not the Active Power (Watts).

“Before making any connection to a Live
Circuit”, connect all clamp sensors to

transmitter.

*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
This is very important because when current is
flowing through the sensor clamp, the resulting
voltage induced in the secondary can be quite high.

The sensor needs to be fitted to the live feed cable. You should not force

the cable to fit.

2. Push the release cap to open the sensor.

3. Select the correct feed cable and then place the feed cable
into the top of the sensor.

4. Close the sensor. The sensor is secure when a

“click” is heard.

INSTALLATION

www.mtpinc.com 25

Installation on standard 200A panel

 Unscrew the four corners to remove the electrical panel

protection cover.

 Fit the two enclosed 200A clip-on sensors (sensors are

suitable for use with wire diameters up to 18mm) to the
live feed cables of the electrical panel.

 Insert each plug on the end of the white wire into any of

the input sockets of transmitter.

 The clip-on sensor acts as a current sensor and relays the

current being drawn into the home to the transmitter.
From there, it is sent wirelessly to the monitor display
unit. Clip the sensor clamp around the "Live Wire" of the
electricity panel. The live wire is usually located behind a
metal cover. (Please contact a qualified electrician).

Transmitter

Monitor

Please refer to this manual for set-up of monitor.

Important: Select 120V as reference voltage.

Please note that monitor displays the Apparent
Power (VA) and not the Active Power (watts).

11. Installation (Single Phase System)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please contact a qualified electrician to carry out the installation. We will not be held
responsible for damage as a result of a wrong connection which may cause injury or death. Please note that
monitor displays the Apparent Power (VA) and not the Active Power (watts).

12. Installation (3 Phase System)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please contact a qualified electrician to carry out the installation. We will not be held
responsible for damage as a result of a wrong connection which may cause injury or death. Please note that
monitor displays the Apparent Power (VA) and not the Active Power (watts).

* Regarding 3 phase 4 wire supply (Diagram 2), a third sensor clamp is needed (sold separately).

13. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How can the data stored in the receiver be cleared?
A: Please refer to the section 8, History Data Clearance & Factory Reset, on pages 7 and 8 of this manual

Q: What is the maximum distance the device can transmit signals?

A: ≤ 70 meters

Q: The transmitter and receiver do not seem to communicate with one another, what should be done?
A: Please refer to page 4 for Linking Instructions.

Q: The backlight on the monitor does not always work, is there a reason?
A: When powered with power adapter, the backlight goes on whenever there is key operation.

When powered with batteries, the backlight is only available between 18:00 and 24:00 with key
operation.

Q: Can the Energy Monitoring System be used to compare with my local utility provider?
A: The Energy Monitoring System is meant to raise electricity consumption awareness. It is not meant to
compare with your local utility provider bill.
