2. Introduction Wireless Electricity Monitor Art. no 36-4500 Model efergy e2 The metering and monitoring of energy is the basis for saving energy. You need this information in order to know where and how you can save money. Efergy is an electricity monitor which shows how much electrical energy is being consumed in your home at the actual moment you read the display. The display can also inform the consumer how much the consumed energy costs.
3. Safety IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION A FEW SIMPLE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. Efergy electricity monitors are easy to install. Still, there are some essential safety rules that you must be conscious of: In the UK or Ireland the installation of the electricity monitor is easy, since the only thing that is required is to connect a sensor to the incoming mains power cable.
4. Package contents 3 x sensors (current transformers) 1 x transmitter 1 x display unit (receiver) Sensor Transmitter The package also contains: 1 x USB cable. 1 x booklet with advice on how to save energy. 1 x CD-ROM software disc. 1 x instruction manual. The sensors should be clamped onto the incoming mains power cables leading into the distribution box. All electricity consumed in the household enters through these cables. The sensors measure the current which passes through these cables.

Finding the power supply feed cable Diagram 1 There are four cables at the bottom of the electricity meter. The cable on the right (cable 4) is always the live feed cable (Active phase) from the meter to the fuse box (see diagram 1). Feed Wire Certain installations have cables 1 and 2 entirely or partially covered in order to hinder modification or home installation of cables before the meter (see diagram 2). Connect the sensor to cable 4 (on the far right).
Safety You should under no circumstances connect a sensor to a cable if any of the cables leading to the meter is damaged in any way. No cables need to be cut. Do not clip any cables. Do not break any seals or such on the meter. Contact your local electricity supplier if you are at all uncertain about connecting the sensor to the correct cable. All work inside distribution boxes/consumer units must be carried out by competent electricians. 5.
Finding the power supply feed cable In Sweden, Norway and Finland there are four feed cables entering the electricity meter: 3 live phases (L1, L2, L3) and 1 neutral (N). The neutral cable is usually blue and the live cables are black or brown. Cables L1 – L2 – L3 are live and it is these that the sensors should be attached to. Electricity meter Transmitter Sensor (3x) Safety You should under no circumstances connect a sensor to a cable if any of the cables leading to the meter is damaged in any way.
6. Installation - fitting 6.1 Fitting the sensors 1 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 2 3 Feed Wire Feed Wire The sensors should be clamped onto one (UK) or three (SE) (NO) (FIN) live feed cables.
