WE RECOMMEND THAT THE EFERGY MONITOR IS INSTALLED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
It is important that you take some simple precautions before using this product. Incorrect use
or poor safety practices can result in injury or fatality. Whenever possible, turn off the main
breaker, outside your home feeding power to your electric panel.
When installing the e2 monitor you should find that everything is straight-forward. However,
there are a number of important health and safety issues which you need to be aware of:
Mini CT sensor clip fits onto the internal live feed cable inside the electricity meter, which
delivers the live supply to your home.
Do not touch any metallic connections during the installation of the mini CT sensors. Do not
carry out this installation if under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Remember the device is not intrusive and does not require rewiring; no wires or cables need to
be cut, removed or modified to perform this installation. If you notice anything unusual about
the electricity supply such as loose wires, exposed cabling, burn marks, holes in the insulating
materials or damage to the electric wires in the service panel or where the mini CT sensors are
to be attached, stop immediately and report the findings to your supply company.
efergy energy monitoring systems are considered plug and play devices that meet all
regulatory requirements for installation in Australia.
In Australia the live cable can only be accessed by qualified electricians.
Do not force or bend the cables at any point during installation. If you are worried or have any
concerns about the installation, please contact a qualified electrician immediately.

The user does not need to remove the sensor throughout the working life of the unit. Battery
changes are performed on the transmitter and on the display. There are no batteries to change
in the sensor.
Even with the main breaker in the off position, the connection lugs where the main wires
terminate at the main breaker may still be live with potentially lethal voltage. Stay clear of these
connections during the installation of the mini CT sensor, see page 9.
The mini CT sensor itself is insulated so do not be concerned if it slides down the main wire to
the breaker after being secured around the insulated wire. A plastic tie wrap (with 5cm of the
tie not cut off) secured to the main wire under the desired location for the sensor may be used
to keep the sensor from sliding down the wire.
Millions of these systems have been installed world wide without incident but please follow safe
work practices as outlined during the installation.
