exposed wire into the ive termina s coming from the main
circuit breaker.
Note: Some AC Mains boxes are made of meta and may
reduce the radio communication power from the Home
Energy Meter to other Z-Wave devices within the house. To
improve radio performance, the Home Energy Meter may
be p aced outside of the main circuit box. The Home Energy
Meter is IP43 weatherized to be resistant to rain and snow
when p aced vertica y with the wires protruding from the
