4. Guia de configuració
4.1. Transmitter and CT Sensor Installation
- Desconnexió d'alimentació: Locate your main electrical panel. WARNING: Turn off the main breaker to disconnect power to your home before proceeding. Verifiqueu que l'alimentació està apagada utilitzant un voltage provador.
- Muntatge del transmissor: Mount the transmitter unit (white box with antenna port) inside or near your electrical panel. Ensure it is in a location where the antenna can transmit effectively.
- Attaching the SMA Antenna: Screw the SMA antenna onto the designated port on the transmitter.
- Installing CT Sensors:
- Identify the main live wires (typically black or red) coming from your main breaker.
- Open the CT sensors. Clamp one CT sensor around each main live wire. Ensure the arrow on the CT sensor points towards the load (away from the main breaker).
- For monitoring individual circuits, identify the live wire for the desired circuit and clamp a 60A CT sensor around it. The efergy Emax supports up to 4 x 60A sensors for circuit-level monitoring.
- Connect the CT sensor cables to the corresponding input ports (1-4 for 60A, A-C for 120/200A) on the transmitter.
- Alimentació del transmissor: Connect the transmitter's power cord to a suitable power source, typically by wiring it into a circuit within the electrical panel (consult a qualified electrician for this step).
- Restaura l'alimentació: Once all connections are secure and verified, turn the main breaker back on.
