The installation of your TED Pro system is a several-step
process.
After the MTU Pro is installed, Step 2 is the installation
of the ECC, and access to the Footprints Software.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specied
by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.

This manual provides the steps necessary to safely install the MTU and Current Transformers (CTs).
For detailed installation and operation of other components and software, please nd it on the TED
website: www.theenergydetective.com
Every effort has been made in providing for the safe, secure installation of TED. The installation of
TED requires the cover of the main electrical circuit breaker panel to be removed. After the circuit
breaker panel cover has been removed, the potential hazard of shock, burn, or even electrocution
now exists. Do not attempt to complete this installation unless you are a licensed electrician familiar
with the electrical components and operation of the circuit breaker panel. Even when the main circuit
breaker has been turned to the “OFF” position, certain areas within the circuit breaker panel may still
be electried. Do not attempt installation unless you know where these electried areas are.
This symbol will be found throughout
the instructions where there is a potential for electric shock, burn, or even
electrocution. Do not attempt to complete the noted section if you are not
an electrician, or qualied installer

ment and within easy reach of the operator. It must be marked as the disconnecting device for the MTU.
WARNING - If the equipment is used in a manner not specied in these instructions, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
FOR HOME AND OFFICE USE

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
TESTED TO COMPLY WITH
FCC STANDARDS
FCC Part 15 SubPart B
EU/EN 61326-1
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2)
including interference that may cause undesired operations.
This device must accept any interference received,
STEP 1– Determine communication method to be used between MTU and ECC: PLC (Communica-
tion over existing power lines) or TCP (Ethernet), and determine where the MTU will be mounted.
Communication Options
MTU Pro mounted INSIDE Panel
ECC
PLC - Power Line Carrier
MTU Pro mounted OUTSIDE Panel
Ethernet directly to ECC
MTU Pro mounted OUTSIDE Panel
Ethernet to Hub to ECC
PLC (Power Line Communication) can only be used if all of the following conditions are met:
• The ECC is not separated from the MTU by a transformer.
• The panel where the MTU is being installed has a neutral and the ECC can be plugged into an outlet
that shares one of the phase connections and neutral (IE it is a 208/120V Wye system, 480/277V
Wye system*, or 240/120V Hi-Leg Delta System).
• There is not an excessive amount of noise on the powerline, usually caused by electronic equipment,
dimmers, inverters, variable speed drives, uorescent lighting with noisy ballasts, etc.
NOTE 1: PLC installations can be made inside the panel, but it is recommended that all MTU installations be made outside of the panel for ease of performing future rmware updates, ease of access
without the need for an electrician, or access to directly-connect an MTU to a computer should raw
data be desired.
NOTE 2: PLC connections using 277VAC to Neutral may require modifying ECC power cord with
NEMA L7-20 277 AC plug and receptacle. Please review your electrical code requirements. Item is
available on our web store at: http://www.theenergydetective.com/tedprostore.html)
NOTE 3: PLC signal is transmitted on the black wire of the MTU power cable, (normally connected to phase
A). Communication is optimized when the ECC is plugged into an outlet on Phase A. If not practical to plug
the ECC into a phase A outlet, the Phase A voltage and CT connections of the MTU may need to be swapped to
match the phase powering the ECC.
STEP 3 - INSTALLING THE POWER CABLE AND MEASURING TRANSMITTING UNIT (MTU).
TURN OFF ALL POWER TO THE CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL BY TURNING OFF THE
MAIN BREAKER OR MAIN SWITCH.
A) Turn off power.
B) Remove circuit breaker panel cover.
C)
Note the Serial Number of the MTU as shown on the label. It consists of six digits in the form “12 34 56.”
You will need to know this number to connect the MTU to the ECC Network.
D) Connect the black, red and blue wires from the MTU power cord to a spare 15,20 or 30 Amp three-
pole circuit breaker in the panel. See Appendix for specic wiring diagrams for your system.
i. If there is no spare circuit breaker, the black/red/blue wires can be attached to any 15, 20
or 30 Amp 3-pole circuit breaker in the panel, provided that the circuit breaker is approved
for 2 conduc-tors and this is acceptable to the “authority having jurisdiction in the installation
location” (it is generally acceptable); If a 3-pole circuit breaker is not available, then use an
approved handle-tie to create one.
ii. If the circuit breakers in the panel being monitored are greater than 30 amps, an in-line 15 or
20A fuse should be added to each power cable connection, Pre-made cables with in-line fuses
are available in our Accessory Store.
http://www.theenergydetective.com/tedprostore.html
(Please refer to NEC, CEC and your local electrical code.) An alternate method would be to
run a 3-phase power circuit from a 15 or 20A circuit breaker in a nearby panel to a junction
box or terminal block near the panel being monitored and make all MTU power connections
there. The circuit must be from the same source as the load being measured by the MTU. IE
it must be from the same service and at the same voltage without any transformers between.
E) If there is no spare circuit breaker, the black/red/blue wires can be attached to any 15, 20 or 30
Amp 3-pole circuit breaker in the panel, provided that the circuit breaker is approved for 2 conductors
and this is acceptable to the “authority having jurisdiction in the installation location” (it is generally
acceptable); If a 3-pole circuit breaker is not available, then use an approved handle-tie to create one.
F) Do not connect the Power Cable to the MTU until you have the CTs connected.
NOTE 1: The black, red and blue wires will normally connect to the corresponding 3 phases on the circuit breaker (IE Black wire to Phase A, Red wire to Phase B and Blue wire to phase C). The CT inputs
on the MTU are left-to-right: Phase A, Phase B, Phase C (see image on front cover of this booklet)
and must be matched to the corresponding wires for proper readings. 4 wire Delta is an exception,
see Appendix A-3. Some Canadian Standards may have phases marked differently in the panel, this
doesn’t matter as long as the MTU power cable wires and CT inputs correspond.
NOTE 2: For optimal PLC Communication, the ECC should be plugged into a circuit on the same
phase as the black wire on the MTU power cable. If the ECC cannot be connected to phase A, the
electrician verify correct operation prior to leaving the site..
I. TESTING - DEFAULT CONFIGURATION: The following instructions are for the most common
PLC Communication is to be used.
ECC Settings are pre-congured with MTU IDs.
ECC will be accessed on the LAN (Local Area Network) or through a router.
Phase connection type is 3 Phase, 4-wire Wye.
1. VERIFY PLC COMMUNICATION (Power Line Carrier): Once the ECC has been congured with
– TESTING AND CONFIGURING THE SYSTEM: It is extremely important that the installing

in next section to make changes where required, then return to this section to verify operation.)
Default conguration is as follows:
the MTU ID’s, PLC Communication can be veried. Plug the ECC into an outlet on the same
phase as the black wire of MTU power cable. The left LED on both the MTU and the ECC will
become solid GREEN once the PLC LINK has been established. (LINK time could be 3 to 5 minutes.)

III. DIRECT ETHERNET CONNECTION – Accessing TED devices by connecting Ethernet cable di-
rectly to a Laptop Computer (NOT connecting through a Router or the Local Area Network)
Typically, the ECC will be connected via Ethernet to a router or the Local Area Network. The MTU
would typically not be connected to a router or Network unless TCP Ethernet communication is selected. However, either device can be connected directly to the Ethernet port of a laptop for setup
or diagnostics. Note – depending on the computer, you may need an Ethernet Crossover cable,
typically, a crossover cable is not needed when using a laptop computer. Crossover cables can be
found at most computer retailers. More info:
