Introduction
This Electricity Transmitter is a part of the OWL Intuition range of cloud connected moni-
toring and control products. Its operation is dependant upon being paired to the broad-
band Internet connected Network OWL (supplied separately).
This version of the Electricity Transmitter is designed for monitoring three phase electric-
ity consumption. It is suitable for use in larger homes and some smaller light commercial
premises.
Access to both live and historic energy information collected by this Transmitter is via the
OWL Intuition web dashboard, from any Internet connected computer anywhere in the
World. iPhone and Android smartphone apps are also available for free download.
For details on using your new OWL Intuition-lc system, please download the Electricity
Monitoring User Manual document by clicking on Manuals on the web dashboard (lower
right).

Installation Instructions
STEP ONE - Install Network OWL
• If you are adding 3 Phase electricity monitoring to an existing Intuition installation
then please jump to STEP THREE - Log in and follow Wizard.
• If this is a new Intuition installation then you will rst need to install the Network OWL
(supplied separately). For full details please refer to the Network OWL installation
guide supplied with that product, however a summary of the steps are listed below:
1. Connect Ethernet cable between spare active LAN port on your broadband Inter-
net router and the Network OWL.
2. Plug the power supply into the mains and insert the DC jack connector into the
base of the Network OWL.
3. Wait until the green LED on the top of the Network OWL is ashing with a “triple
blip” pattern. This should not normally take longer than 2 minutes.
4. Do NOT proceed to STEP TWO until this ashing pattern is observed.
STEP TWO - Create Intuition online account
• If you are adding 3 Phase electricity monitoring to an existing Intuition installation
then please jump to STEP THREE - Log in and follow Wizard.
• If this is a new Intuition installation then you will rst need to create a new OWL

Intuition account. For full details please refer to the Network OWL installation guide
supplied with that product, however a summary of the steps are listed below:
1. Using a web browser visit https://www.owlintuition.com
2. Click “Create Account”.
3. Check and conrm that the Network OWL is online.
4. Fill in the information requested.
5. Click “Create Account” button.
6. Ensure successful account creation completion message is displayed.
STEP THREE - Log in and follow Wizard
• Log in to the OWL Intuition account
with username and password.
• If this is a new system the installa-
tion & conguration Wizard will auto-
matically open. For existing Intuition
installations you should start the
Wizard by clicking the Wizard menu
bar option at the top of the screen.
• Select “Electricity / Solar Monitoring”
from the drop down box.
• Click the “Start” button and follow

the Wizard through these steps:
• Select Electricity Transmitter type as “CMR180i” and
click “Next”.
• Slide back cover off of the Transmitter and insert the
batteries into the unit.
• Press the small “Check” button in the Transmitter bat-
tery compartment until the red LED on the front starts
ashing.
• The Transmitter is now in Pairing / Check Mode and
the red LED on the front will start ashing every 2 sec-
onds (for 30 seconds). Click the Wizard “Next” button.
IMPORTANT Pairing Notes:
• Please DO NOT remove the Transmitter batter-
ies once tted or the pairing will be lost.
• You can quickly check for correct pairing at any time
by pressing the Transmitter “Check” button until the
red LED starts ashing - if the Transmitter red LED and Network OWL blue LED
ash within a fraction of a second of each other, they are correctly paired.
• When the “Pairing Successful” message is displayed in the Wizard click “Next”.
• Select Electricity Monitoring System type as “Intuition-lc (3 phase electricity) and click
“Next”.

• Adjust consumption Voltage and Power Factor settings to measured values if available.
If in doubt leave the default values (Voltage = 230; Power Factor = 1.0) and click
“Next”. Please note that this voltage is the phase to neutral voltage and is hence 230V
rather than 400V (phase to phase voltage).
• Ensure message “Device successfully added to your Intuition system.” is displayed.
• Click the “Finish” button.
• Unless you have further Intuition devices to install / congure then click the “Finish”
button.
• Click the “OK” button to close the Wizard. The web dashboard will then automatically
refresh itself and you should now have an Electricity and a 3 Phase Electricity widget
within the web dashboard, although the live readings will be zero at this stage until
the Sensors are correctly attached in the next step.
STEP FOUR - Install Transmitter and attach Sensors
IMPORTANT:
• You must ensure that each Sensor is ONLY around the live core and NOT around
a sheathed cable containing live, neutral and earth.
• The Sensors must be a loose t onto the cables.
• After the Sensors have been installed, the Transmitter should be hung on the wall
in a free area as far from large metal objects as possible.
• Locate the supply cables between your electricity meter and mains distribution board

(fuse box). See diagram on page 8.
• Using the latch, clamp the 3 Sensors around the insulated Live cables going into the
meter as per the table below – Live cables either side of meter is acceptable.

STEP FIVE - Log in to your OWL Intuition account
If you are not already, please log in to your OWL Intuition account with your username

• You should now have an Electricity and 3 Phase widget within your web dashboard.
• If you watch these new widgets, you should see the live total consumption in the Elec-
tricity widget and live individual phase consumption in the 3 Phase widget, updating
every 12 to 60 seconds.
• Check the signal strength of the radio signal between your Transmitter and Network
OWL:
Signal strength indicator Settings icon

10 © 2 Save Energy Limited 2014
• If the signal strength is only 1 or 2 bars, to reduce the chance of intermittent /
inconsistent data reception it is suggested that you reposition the Network OWL
so that it is physically closer to the Transmitter.
• The Network OWL should ideally be hung on the wall in a free area as far from
large metal objects as possible. Position the antenna in a vertical orientation.
• If necessary you can replace the Ethernet cable with a longer cable (up to 100
meters long). If installing a long Ethernet cable is a problem, you can use a
“Powerline Range Extender” or “Wireless Range Extender” - please search for
these common products online.
• For details on using your new OWL Intuition-lc system, please now download the Elec-
tricity Monitoring User Manual document by clicking on Manuals on the web dashboard
(lower right).
• Please ensure you retain this document for future reference.

INFORMATION & TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS
• Unless the Transmitter is in Check Mode, the red LED does not ash, in order to pro-
long battery life.
• Check that the blue LED on the Network OWL ashes at least every 12 seconds if the
monitored electricity supply consumption is varying, or every 60 seconds when at a
steady state.
• For wireless range testing you can make the Transmitter send its signal every 2 sec-
onds (for 30 seconds) by pressing the “Check” button in the battery compartment for
10 seconds. The red LED will ash with each transmission, the Network OWL blue LED
will ash to conrm the signal has been received.
• If the blue LED does not ash then the Transmitter signal is not being received or the
Transmitter Pairing has been lost.
• On the web dashboard click on the Devices menu, then click on Electricity
Transmitter. If the Last Reported time is greater than 60 seconds then it is likely
the batteries have been removed from the Transmitter since pairing. Click on the
“Change Batteries” button and follow the instructions provided.
• If necessary undo the Transmitter’s Sensors and move it so it is close to the Net-
work OWL. Repeat step above to conrm if radio range is an issue.
• Battery change - when the Transmitter batteries require replacement the battery
icon on the Electricity widget will change to red. Use web dashboard Devices menu /
Electricity Transmitter / Change Batteries feature to ensure that pairing is not lost.
