1. Safety instructions
Safety warning
Carrying out electrical work in a home or workplace can be dangerous.
The Power Box, CT Hub, and Current Transformers are usually installed inside the
distribution board under a protective cover. The Genius can be installed both inside and
outside the distribution board.
Only certified electricians may carry out the installation, which must be in accordance with
the national safety regulations.
Safety precautions
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock.
CAUTION: Refer to the accompanying documentation whenever you see this
symbol.
DO NOT clamp or pull out NON-INSULATED conductors carrying DANGEROUS
VOLTAGE which could cause an electric shock, burns, or arc flash.
Please observe the following safety precautions to avoid potential electric shock, fire, or
personal injury:
• Use this product only for its intended purpose.
• Use the product indoors only.
• Only mount the power cable in a sealed enclosure.
• Locate a free fuse or install an additional fuse of at least 6A for the protection of the Power
Box. Connect the power cable according to the connection diagram, see next pages.
• The circuit breaker acts as the disconnect device and must meet IEC 60947-2
• Do not open the equipment or touch any of its electronic circuitry.

Explanation of the safety symbols
The table below explains the safety symbols.
Class II equipment does not require an earth connection.
IK 06
Smappee Infinity – Installation manual – English Page 4 of 29
This device has been tested according to IEC 62262 and complies to
impact class 6. (Impact energy: 1 Joule).
Residual safety risk
• The device’s housing has IK06 impact immunity level. Therefore, it is essential that the
housing is not damaged during installation.
• When there is visible damage to the device’s housing, it is recommended to replace the
device to prevent any hazardous situation to occur.
Support
Only certified electricians or equivalent may install the Smappee Infinity.
If you have any questions, please contact your local distributor.

2. Smappee Infinity
modularity
Smappee Infinity is a modular energy monitoring solution, which is designed to be easily
installed in existing and new installations. Smappee Infinity’s modular design allows you to
add additional CTs through the use of CT Hubs.
Smappee Infinity has three essential components:
• CT Hubs: These are the main components of the monitoring system. You can connect up to
4 CTs or Rogowski coils to the CT Hub to measure different currents, ranging from 50A to
1000A. This allows for accurate submetering of (a group of) appliances. Daisy chain CT Hubs
to measure different installations up to a distance of 100 meters (109 yards).
• Power Box: This is the heart of the monitoring system as it provides power to all
components. It measures the line voltage of the different connected phases and transfers
the data via RS 485.
• Genius: The gateway between the monitoring system and the Smappee Cloud, ensuring
secure data storage from different components. The possibilities of communication to
cloud are Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or 3G/4G Cellular (USB dongle). It also interacts with third-party
components, Smappee Gas & Water and Smappee Switch.
Smappee Infinity – Installation manual – English Page 6 of 92
A typical Smappee Infinity setup consists of one Power Box, one Genius or Wi-Fi Connect,
CTHubs, and CTs. The different components communicate through the Smappee Bus.
The Smappee Infinity is configured through the Smappee Energy Monitor mobile app (which
you can download from the Apple App store or Google Play store). The real-time and historical
monitoring data are accessible for visualisation and analysis purposes.
Smappee Infinity can easily be integrated into any energy, home, and building management
system through several protocols such as MQTT, REST. These protocols publish real-time
measurements, events, and historical data and allow you to control your Smappee Switch
devices.
Smappee is not only a monitoring solution but also an energy traffic controller. This
functionality allows automatic interaction with the energy traffic within the installation, which
is based on predefined logic embedded in the Smappee. A basic example of this functionality is
the use of the Smappee smart plug (Smappee Switch), which allows the intelligent switching of
appliances based on the real-time load monitoring following standard processes (scenes) that
can easily be set up via the mobile app.

3. How to install
The installation procedure consists of the following steps:
Planning and site preparation: To determine the complete monitoring solution.
1
Initial setup and configuration: The creation of a location, its properties, and the
2
loads to be measured.
Physical installation: The physical installation of all the Infinity components.
3
Smappee cloud connection: The selection of internet connectivity and configuration.
4
Configuration of CTs
5
Validation of the installation: Checking the accuracy of live power values.
6
This procedure is done with the Smappee Energy Monitor mobile app.

4. Planning and site preparation
The first step is to determine the complete monitoring solution. This consists of listing all
the loads that need to be measured, their properties, and the required hardware (Smappee
and others).
The checklist provided helps you to determine all necessary technical information for the
next steps and also to collect all the necessary hardware.
General architecture - what is to be monitored
Single or multiple metering locations: Where are the fuse boxes or appliances to be
monitored? (Location inside the building, distances between them, etc.)
Total load (main service): Yes/no?
Specific appliances? (e.g. HVAC, Heat pump, EV, Solar, etc.). Are they fused separately or
are they powered by a wall socket & plug?
Circuits (main sockets, lighting area, etc.)
Details
Topology: Verify the mains voltage – single phase (1P), three-phase 3P+N (3*400) or 3P
(3*230)
How are the total load, solar, circuits, and/or appliances fused?
Phases of each measured load (circuits and appliances): Single-phase, three-phase,
3P+N (3*400V) or 3P (3*230V), voltage, frequency, power, amps
Cross-sectional area or diameter of the wiring
How will a stable internet connection be provided to the energy monitor: Wi-Fi, Ethernet,
or 3G/4G cellular network?
Tools (not included)
Multimeter
Screwdrivers
Wire stripper
