The energy monitor and surge protector communicate in two-way. To ensure
energy monitor and surge protector communicate with no interruption, please
locate and setup both devices within 100 Ft of range.
Install Wall Tap Surge Protector
The single outlet wall tap surge protector allows the user to track electricity
consumption of individual home appliance and protect it against surge and voltage
spikes.
1. Plug in the wall tap surge protector to a powered 125V AC outlet.
2. Plug in the appliance into the wall tap surge protector outlet.
3. The outlet power can be manually turned ON/OFF by pressing the “Manual
ON/OFF” button on the wall tap surge protector. You may also turn ON/OFF the
outlet power remotely by using the energy monitor (see the operating
instruction – channel mode).
Note: The outlet on the surge protector is default at power off status.
Install Strip Surge Protector
The strip type surge protector allows the user to track electricity consumption of

group home appliances by area and protect them against surge and voltage spike.
1. Connect home appliances to the “ENERGY SAVER” outlets. These outlets are for
appliances which do not need to be on all the time and can be completely turned
off when not in use to eliminate stand-by power waste. The “ENERGY SAVER”
outlets can be controlled ON/OFF by remote energy monitor (see the operating
instruction – channel mode).
2. Connect home devices to the “ALWAYS ON” outlets. These outlets are not
switchable and provide continuous power for appliances which always need to
stay on at all time.
