2. Safety and Maintenance Information
Before installation, please pay attention to the following information:
Please read all instructions before you use the monitoring system.
Please shake the display unit and the power transmitter first, before installation. Do not
use if you hear any sound from inside of the parts and communicate with your authorized
distributor for replacement.
Do not allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use your monitoring
system.
Keep the monitor, transmitter and sensor clamp away from sources of heat, water or any
other liquid.
Place the monitor, transmitter and sensor clamp where children can not touch or pull.
Do not try to disassemble or modify any parts of the monitoring system. In case of
problem, please consult your representative.
Do not use the monitoring system if you find your electric wire in abnormal condition,
such as loose wire, exposed copper wire, burnt mark on wire insulation layer, holes on
wire layer or damage on electric meter. In case of such abnormalities, please consult a
professional electrician immediately.
Periodically check all wires and components to ensure there is no damage.
Use a dry cloth to clean. Do not use solvent, abrasive cleaners or water.
For installation, it is recommended that you contact a qualified electrician. In some
countries, the electrical panel can only be accessed by qualified electricians. Contact
MTP Instruments Inc. to find out if it’s mandatory in the country you live in.

6. Display Screen Information and Clearing Data
Soon after successfully pairing the monitor and transmitter, the LCD screen will
automatically return to the default display. Furthermore, when there is no button operation
(for a period of time), the LCD screen will automatically return to the default screen. Below
is an example of the default LCD screen.
4

Resetting and Data Clearance
When the default screen is displayed, simultaneously press and hold down the SET/MODE and
HISTORY keys. The full LCD screen will appear for 10 seconds (See Fig. 1).
The red LED light will then flash. At this point, release SET/MODE and HISTORY keys. At
this point, release the SET/MODE and HISTORY keys. The LED light will go on and the
programming version will be displayed on the LCD screen for approximately 3 seconds (See Fig.
2).
The LED light will then turn off and the LCD screen will return to the default display with no
signal condition (See Fig. 3). At this point, the data contained in the memory should be cleared.
Note: Resetting the memory will display the factory settings (Date: 01/01/2011 and Time:
00:00).

7. Installation / Set-up
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to contact a qualified electrician for the installation of
this product.
7.1 Installation of Sensor Clamp
Clip the sensor clamp around the "Live Wire" of the electricity panel. The live wire is
usually located behind a metal cover. (Please contact a qualified electrician).
Regarding three phase supply, a third sensor clamp is needed (sold separately). Please
contact MTP Instruments for additional sensors.
Installing the sensor clamp to the live wire. First, push the release cap. Second, place it
on the correct live wire. Third, close the sensor clamp. Finally, ensure that the sensor
clamp(s) is/are plugged into the transmitter.
5

Note: It is normal when installing the (detachable) sensor clamp on a live wire, that the
sensor emits a vibrating sound when it is not plugged into the transmitter. Once the sensor
is connected to the live wire and plugged to the transmitter, the vibrating sound will cease.
Note: Detachable sensor clamp can be plugged into any of the two inputs of the transmitter,
when making connection. To ensure that the connection of the sensor clamp is successful,
verify if the sensor clamp symbol is displayed on the top left corner of the monitor (eg. if two
sensors are connected, the monitor should display two sensor clamp symbols).
6

Installation on standard 200A panel
Unscrew the four corners to remove the electrical panel protection
cover.
Link the transmitter to the monitor. Please refer to the instructions
on page 9of the instruction manual. (Ensure three AA batteries are
inserted in the transmitter and the display unit).
Please refer to pages 10 to 15 for set-up of the monitor.
IMPORTANT : Select 120V as reference voltage
Information is displayed on the monitor. Please refer to pages 15 to
20of this instruction manual.
Please note that monitor displays the Apparent Power
(VA) and not the Active Power (watts).
Fit the two enclosed 100A clip-on sensors (sensors are suitable for
use with wire diameters up to 18mm) to the live feed cables of the
electrical panel.
Insert each jack on the end of the white wire into any of the input
sockets of the transmitter.
The clip-on sensor acts as a current sensor and relays the current
being drawn into the home to the transmitter. From there, it is sent
wirelessly to the monitor display unit.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please contact a qualified electrician to carry out the installation. We
will not be held responsible for damage as a result of a wrong connection. Please note that
monitor displays the Apparent Power (VA) and not the Active Power (watts).

Install the two enclosed sensors (100A), as indicated on diagram 1
(phase 1 and phase 3).
Connect the two heavy duty sensors to the transmitter. Insert each
jack on the end of the white wire into any of the input sockets of the
transmitter.
The clip-on sensor acts as a current sensor and relays the current
being drawn into the home to the transmitter.
Link the transmitter to the monitor. Please refer to the instructions
on page 9of the instruction manual. (Ensure three AA batteries are
inserted in the transmitter and the display unit).
Please refer to pages 10 to 15 for monitor set-up.
IMPORTANT: The reference voltage is equal to the voltage between
phase 1 and phase 3, divided by 1.732 (Ex. If voltage between phase
1 and 3 is 600V, the reference voltage will therefore be 600 / 1.732
= 347V).
Please refer to instructions of pages 15 to 20 for display of information
on the monitor.
Install three sensors (100A), as indicated on diagram 2.
Connect the three heavy duty sensors to the transmitter. Insert each
jack on the end of the white wire into any of the input sockets of the
transmitter.
The clip-on sensor acts as a current sensor and relays the current
being drawn into the home to the transmitter.
Link the transmitter to the monitor. Please refer to the instructions
on page 9of the instruction manual. (Ensure three AA batteries are
inserted in the transmitter and the display unit).
Please refer to pages 10 to 15 for monitor set-up.
IMPORTANT: The reference voltage is equal to the voltage of
NEUTRAL-PHASE (ex: 600V NEUTRAL-PHASE system = 347V).
Please refer to pages 15 to 20 for display of information on the
monitor.
