HOW THE PRODUCT WORKS
Overview
This product uses ‘phase’ current transformer sensing technology to detect and monitor a magnetic field around
your household electricity power cable. It measures the amps being used and, by reference to the system volt-
age, calculates the amount of power being used, the cost, and the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. It
then transmits this information from the Sender Box to a cordless Remote Monitor on a frequency of 433MHz,
from up to 30 meters away (unbroken transmission).
NOTE The product is primarily intended as an educational device to aid understanding of the cost of
operating electrical appliances in the home. As such, it is not intended to replace your accurate electricity
revenue meter, so it cannot be used to check your electricity account.
Voltage and Current
Voltage (volt) is the measure of electrical potential. Current signifies the amount of electricity flowing through a
conductive material, such as a wire. Electrical current is measured in amperes or "amps" for short. Both Amps
and Volts are necessary to provide electricity for your household appliances. Power is measured in Watts, and
is the product of Volts times Amps. For a particular location, the voltage is usually constant – so the amount of
power used is directly proportional to the current used.
Watts and Kilowatts
Refer to the following table:
Watts Kilowatt (kW) Kilowatts hour (kWh)
NOTE 1 kWh is the equivalent of ten(10)X100-watt bulbs operating at the same time for one hour.
Household power cable and ‘phase’
Most household electricity supplies use either single ‘phase’ or three ‘phase’ current. In single ‘phase’ supplies,
the current flows to and from your household appliances using a ‘neutral’ and ‘power’ line. The neutral line has
a voltage close to 0 while the ‘power’ line carries a fluctuating voltage or ‘phase’ at about 240 volts. The differ-
ence between these two lines makes the current flow through your appliances.
In three ‘phase’ supplies, current flows to and from a device through a group of three lines - each one carrying
a fluctuating voltage or ‘phase’. The Sensor should be connected to each of the three phase lines before using
the OWLTM.
Greenhouse gas
Fossil fuel power stations emit gases such as carbon dioxide when producing electricity. This causes an
atmospheric imbalance, which in turn has been linked to global warming (global temperature rise).
Every power station has a slightly different ratio of emissions to electricity production, depending on the type
of fuel used to generate electricity. Sustainable energy sources such as hydro, solar and wind power do not
create any emissions.
The default greenhouse emission rate on the Portable Main Unit is set to 1 kilogram of greenhouse gas for every
1KW of electricity produced (1:00). This can be changed depending upon the fuel or energy source used by
your power generating authority (see customized settings).
Kilowatts hour (kWh) represents the
use of 1000 watts of electricity for
one whole hour.
A Kilowatt (kW) is simply a larger
unit of measurement (1000 watts =
one kilowatt).
A Watt is the standard unit of
measurement for the amount
of energy (electric or otherwise)
being transferred to or from
somewhere each second.

Step 1: Remove all items from packaging
Step 2: Locate Sender Box and Senso
The Sensor comprises a small plastic component with a hinged clip and a wire with a jack
plug connector on the other end. The hinged clip is designed to clip around the Live insulated
power supply cable coming from the Electricity Meter to the Consumer Unit (Fuse Box).
WARNING: Extreme care must be taken when working with electrical equipment as
touching exposed electrical wires or components may result in electrocution causing
death. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrical installer.
Step 3: Locate Electricity Meter and identify live supply cable
•Locate your electricity meter
•Look at the cables entering the meter at the bottom. You will need at least 150mm (6”) of
cable from the meter to the consumer unit to be accessible to fit the sensor around the wire.
Where the cables inside walls or enclosures and are not accessible, consult a qualified
electrical installer for advice.
• Before touching any cables, visually inspect the insulation (Plastic Covering) for any signs
of damage or deterioration such as cracks in the outer covering, visible copper cores, burnt
or blackened covering. If damage is seen, do not touch anything and contact a qualified
electrical installer for advice.
•If there is any water present in the fuse box, caused by rain or leakage, do not install the
sensor until everything is absolutely dry.
•You should see four cables entering the bottom of the meter, these are the incoming
electrical supply cables (Live and Neutral) from the suppliers main fuse (electrical cut out)
and the outgoing “Meter Tails” (Live and Neutral) that run from the meter to the consumer
unit (fuse box). Note if you have an off-peak supply there may be more cables seen here,
if that is the case consult a qualified electrical installer.
Step 4: Clip the Sensor (s) around the live outgoing supply cable (not the neutral) which goes into your
consumer unit. Do not pull or bend the cables, all that is required is for you to ease the cable
into position where you can clip the sensor around the cable.
If in any doubt always consult a qualified electrical installer.

Alternative sensor installation. The sensors are suitable for use with wire diameters of up to 11mm. They
must not be forced over cables greater that 11mm or the sensor will break. If wiring is larger than 11mm
diameter the sensor may be clipped over a number of circuit wires from the same phase, to read the total
current being drawn. If all of these wires do not fit into one sensor then another sensor can be used to
measure the current in the remaining circuit wires – providing these wires are of the same phase.
Note If this is the case always consult a qualified electrical installer
Additional sensors may be used to measure the current in the other phases. The sensors are suitable for
a maximum current of up to 71 amps. If used on wires carrying a greater current the readings will not be
accurate. If the current in any one wire or group of wires is more than 71 amps, additional sensors can be
used to share the current.
Step 5: Locate sender box mounting bracket on the wall adjacent to the meter or consumer unit. Check length
of Sensor(s) cables to ensure that they will reach the location of the transmitter mounting bracket.
Step 6: Unscrew backing plate on the sender box and install batteries provided. You will need a small cross-
head screwdriver for this task.
Step 7: Plug Sensor cable Jack Plug into any one of the sockets located at the bottom of sender unit.
Step 8: Whilst at the sender box location, install the batteries into the Remote Monitor. (Note: The Remote
Monitor may not connect to and lock with the Sender Box if the batteries are not installed into the
Sender Box before the Remote Monitor).
Step 9: Push the CHECK button on the Sender Box for more than 2 seconds to force the sender box to send
wireless signals to the Remote Monitor to help the Sender Box connect to the Remote Monitor.
Step 10: Push SEARCH button on the back of the Remote Monitor and the Remote Monitor and Sender Box
should connect and lock. When they have connected you should see a usage reading based on default
settings.
Step 11: To customise settings refer to the “CUSTOMISING THE SETTINGS” section in the User Manual.
Step 12: For trouble shooting refer to the “TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE” in the User Manual.

MAIN UNIT INFORMATION
After customizing your OWLTM three information modes can be displayed on the Remote Monitor:
• cost of household power consumption in dollars/pounds/euros per hour
• amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced in kilograms per hour or tonnes per year
• household power consumption in kilowatts or amps (see To display power consumption in amps)
To display the information, simply use the mode key to switch between screens.
Todisplay power consumption in amps
Household power consumption can be displayed in terms of amps instead of kilowatts (see HOW THE
PRODUCT WORKS). To display the amount of electrical current passing into your home (amps), instead of
the amount of energy consumed (kW) follow the instructions below:
Diagram Instructions
1. Press mode to change to kW display.
2. Press and hold mode for 2 seconds. The AMP display is shown.
3. Press mode again to return to kW display.
SETTING THE ALARM
The OWLTM comes equipped with an alarm that alerts users when the electricity cost-per-hour exceeds a
pre-set limit. This helps control energy consumption and may reduce electricity bills and the possibility of
blackouts during peak load periods.
To set the alarm limit
To set the alarm limit follow the instructions below:
