Install CT Smart Meter in the circuit breaker panel

The CT smart meter allows the user to measure entire electricity power consumption from electrical panel.

Caution

Your safety is very important to us. Please read these cautions regarding the installation of your CT Smart Meter.

• Electrical panel contains live electrical wires and components even when the

main circuit breaker has been switched off. Do not attempt any installation unless you are familiar where these electrified areas are.

• Any work on or near electrical panel could induce danger or fatal electrical

shock. It is highly recommended that all work should be done only by qualified electricians or certified electrical specialist.

Prepare the electrical circuit breaker

WARNING:

• Before you start, you must turn off all power in the electrical circuit breaker

by turning off the main breaker or main switch.

• Some wires and components could still be live even when the main breaker

or switch is turned off. Please indentify these wires and components before

installation and pay attention to these areas at all time.

Connect the CT clamps & voltage wires to the current & voltage

input terminals

Before installation, please connect the CT clamp wires to the current input terminal following the sequence 1S(red) 1L(black) 2S(red) 2L(black). Then connect the voltage wires to the voltage input terminal following the sequence L(red) N(black).

At the bottom of the current transformer,

there is “K→L” indication mark.

Before you clip on the CT over the power line, please make sure the power

current flow direction follow the “K→L” indication mark on the CT

K L

1. Turn off all power by turning off the main breaker or main switch.

2. Remove the cover of electricity circuit breaker panel.

setup mode and change currency, electricity rate, and carbon emission rate.

Once batteries are installed, the energy monitor will turn on and enter initial setup

mode. Please proceed and refer to the next instruction for initial setup.

Note:

Batteries are not included in the product kit.

Please do not mix and match different types / new & old batteries in use with the

energy monitor.

Use an AC/DC Adapter (Included)

The energy monitor can operate with the included 9V AC/DC adapter.

When the AC/DC adaptor is used in conjunction with batteries installed, the energy

monitor will be powered by the AC/DC adaptor to save batteries life in the energy

monitor.

Carbon Emission Setup

Carbon dioxide is emitted in the process of producing electricity by burning coal &

fossil fuel. This is usually referred to CO2 footprint or carbon emission, which in

turn has contributed global warming and caused abnormal weather.

The average carbon emission rate is 0.49Kg (1.08 lbs) of carbon emission for every

1 KWH of electricity produced. This can be changed depending upon your local

electric utility. Please contact your local utility for carbon emission rate.

1. The Kg symbol blinks first. Use the arrow key to

select the weight symbol in

SET button to proceed to carbon emission rate

the

setup.

2. The carbon emission rate blinks. Use the

Kg or LB. Then press

arrow

key to change the value. Press the SET button to

finish initial setup.

Note: The default Carbon emission rate is 0.49Kg

of carbon emission for every 1KWH of electricity

produced.
