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 Support & Manuals on the web dashboard
(lower right).

Installation Instructions
Network OWL installed and online
The Network OWL should already be installed. Refer to the Network OWL Getting Started
guide for guidance if required. Check that it is powered-up and connected to the OWL
servers (the top green LED should be ashing in a “triple blip pattern”).
STEP ONE - Insert batteries into the Trans-
mitter
Slide back cover off of the Transmitter and insert the bat-
teries into the unit. Keep the Transmitter with you alongside
the Network OWL until Step Three. You should NOT t the
Sensors at this time.

STEP TWO - Pair Transmitter to the Network OWL
Ensure the Transmitter is next to the Network OWL.•
Unplug the power connector from the Network OWL for 2•
seconds and then plug it back in.
The green LED will ash rapidly. After about 30 seconds •
the blue LED will start a steady ash indicating that it is in
Pairing Mode.
Press the small “Check” button in the Transmitter battery •
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 seconds (for 30
seconds).
The pairing process will now take place and the blue LED•
on the Network OWL will start ashing a fraction of a sec-
ond after the red LED ashes on the Transmitter.
When the Transmitter Check Mode nishes, if the pairing •
was successful, the blue LED will ash every time it re-
ceives data from the Transmitter (every 12 to 60 seconds).
Replace battery compartment cover.•
PRESS
CHECK BUTTON

IMPORTANT Pairing Notes:
If you don’t complete the pairing process within 60 seconds of the Network OWL blue•
LED starting its steady ash, restart the process by removing and re-inserting the DC
power jack.
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 cor-
rectly paired.
If you remove / change the Transmitter batteries you will need to remove the existing•
pairing from the Network OWL and pair the Transmitter again.

STEP THREE - Install Transmitter and attach Sensors
Locate the supply cables between your electricity meter and mains distribution board•
(fuse box). See diagram on next page.
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.
The Sensors must be a loose t onto the cables.•
Plug the Sensors into the associated Transmitter socket.•
The Transmitter should be hung on the wall in a free area as far from large metal•
objects as possible.

www.owlintuition.com (this is a secure connection).
You should have previously created your account however you now need to repeat the•
process to update the system type.
Click “Create Account” •
Set the System Type as Intuition-lc•
Reuse your existing username and password. Ensure you tick the Account Exists box.•
Now enter the remaining information again, as requested (refer to the Network OWL•
Getting Started guide if you need an explanation of the information required).
Ensure your Network OWL is still online (the top green LED should be ashing in a •
“triple blip pattern”)
Press the “Create Account” button. •
Successful updating of your account conguration will be conrmed.•

STEP FIVE - Log in to your OWL Intuition account
Please now log in to your OWL Intuition account with your username and password at:
https://www.owlintuition.com
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
•
Signal strength indicator Settings icon

10 © 2 Save Energy Limited 2013
OWL:
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.

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.
If the blue LED does not ash then the Transmitter signal is not being received or the
•
Transmitter Pairing has been lost. Undo the Transmitter’s Sensor and move them so
they are near to the Network OWL to conrm radio range is not an issue.
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.
