INTRODUCTION
The measuring and monitoring of energy is the basis for saving energy. You need this information
in order to know where and how you can save money.
Efergy is an energy meter which shows how much energy is consumed in your home at the time
you read the display. The display can also give the user information on consumed energy costs.
You can also move the receiver around the house and turn on or off an electrical device to see
the difference in power consumption directly on the display.
If you have any questions regarding technical problems please contact Customer Services.
SAFETY
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION A FEW SIMPLE
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
Efergy energy meters are easy to install. Still, there are some essential safety rules that you must
be conscious of:
• In the UK or Ireland the installation of the energy meter is easy, since the only thing that is
required is to connect a sensor to the incoming mains power cable. If you still feel unsure as
to how to mount the sensor, we recommend that you contact a qualified electrician.
• In the Scandinavian countries a 3-phase system is used, which means that one must
install all three included sensors. The sensor clamps should be clamped over the incoming
electrical cables in or outside the distribution box. Contact a qualified electrician if you unsure
as to how to install the sensors.
• Read and follow the important information contained in the following pages. Remember that
the energy meter’s sensors do not need to have direct electrical contact at the measuring
point. The sensors should sit around the cable.
• If you find something unusual in or around the distribution box like loose cables, bare
cables, burn marks, openings in the insulation jacket or any other damage, etc. you must
immediately quit working and contact your electric company or the person responsible for
electrical installations.
• The cables must not be bent or overloaded when mounting the sensors.
If you are uneasy or have any questions regarding the mounting of the energy meter's sensors,
contact a qualified electrician immediately.
The sensors do not need to be removed during the lifetime of the equipment. However, batteries
need to be changed occasionally in the transmitter and display unit. The sensors do not have
any batteries that need to be changed.

PACKAGE CONTENTS
3 x Sensors (current transformer)

1 x Display unit (receiver)
You should clamp the sensors over
the incoming mains power cables
leading into the distribution box. All
power consumed in the household
enter through these cables.
The clip-on sensor senses the current
which passes through these cables.
A reading of the amount of passing
current is then wirelessly sent to the
display unit via the transmitter. The
energy consumption is shown directly
on the display.

FINDING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE FOR YOUR ELECTRICITY METER (UK)
The Efergy energy meter is installed by clamping the sensor clips around the incoming mains
power cables leading to your electricity meter.
FINDING YOUR ELECTRICITY METER
Find out about your electricity meter and check which type you have. It is normally found on an
outer wall, in the garage, in the cellar or in a utility room. If you live in a flat, it may be located near
the entry door, in the stairway, or in the cellar. Make sure the cables exiting the bottom of the
electricity meter are accessible.
Modern offices and flats can have safety panels which protect the cables entering the electricity
meter. If this is your situation, we recommend that you contact a qualified electrician.
FINDING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE
There are four cables at the bottom of the electricity
meter. The cable on the right (cable 4) is always the
live feed wire (Active phase) from the meter to the
fuse box (se diagram 1).
Certain installations have cables 1 and 2 entirely or par-
tially covered in order to hinder modification or home
installation of cables before the meter (see diagram 2).
Connect the sensor to cable 4 (on the far right)
Meters with dual tariffs (see diagram 3) often have an
extra cable between cable 3 and 4. The extra cable
has a smaller diameter than the other cables and
leads to another electricity meter close by.

Cable 4
Extra cable
Newer installations normally have two
cables on the underside of the meter. One
of the cables is the earth cable and the
other is the feed cable. The sensor should
be clamped around the feed cable (normally
coloured brown).
If you have a 3-phase supply or if you have
an Economy 7 meter you will need additional
sensors. The extra sensors easily connect to
the socket at the base of the transmitter.
N.B. The energy meter comes with 3 sensors.
SAFETY
You should under no circumstances connect a sensor to a cable if any of the cables leading
to the meter is damaged in any way. No cables need to be cut. Do not clip any cables. Do not
break any seals or such on the meter.
Contact your local electricity supplier if you are at all uncertain about connecting the sensor to
the correct cable.
FINDING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE FOR YOUR ELECTRICITY METER (SE) (NO) (FIN)
The Efergy energy meter is installed by clamping the sensor clips around the incoming mains
power cables leading to your electricity meter.
FINDING YOUR ELECTRICITY METER/DISTRIBUTION BOX
Find out where your meter is located. It is normally found on an outer wall, in the garage, in the
cellar or in a utility room. If you live in a flat, it may be located near the entry door, in the stairway,
or in the cellar. Make sure the cables exiting the bottom of the electricity meter are accessible.
Modern homes and flats can have safety panels which protect the cables entering the meter.
These are often sealed. Under no circumstances should the seals be broken other than by a
qualified electrician. Instead, we recommend that the sensors be installed after the main switch in
your distribution box.
If you still feel unsure as to how to mount the sensor, we recommend that you contact
a qualified electrician.

FINDING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE
In Sweden, Norway and Finland there are four feed cables entering the electricity meter: 3 live phases
(L1, L2, L3) and 1 Neutral (N), Neutral is normally blue and the live cables are either black or brown.
Cables L1 – L2 – L3 are live and it is these that the sensors should be attached to.
SAFETY
You should under no circumstances connect a sensor to a cable if any of the cables leading
to the meter is damaged in any way. No cables need to be cut. Do not clip any cables. Do not
break any seals or such on the meter.
Contact your local electrical supplier if you are at all uncertain about connecting the sensors to
the correct cable.
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE SENSORS
The sensors should be clamped onto one (UK) or three (SE) (NO) (FIN) live feed phases. The sen-
sors can be used on cables up to 12 mm in diameter. The sensor must not be mounted with force.
1. Find your live feed cable (UK), cables (SE) (NO) (FIN).
2. Press the release cap upwards to open the sensor.
3. Make sure that you have the correct cable and place the sensor around the cable.
4. Press the sensor together and a click will be heard when the release cap locks.
5. Mount a sensor on the respective live feed cables L1, L2, L3 (SE) (NO) (FIN).
CONNECT THE SENSOR TO THE TRANSMITTER
Plug the sensors into the sockets on the bottom of the transmitter. The sensors/plugs do not
have to be in any particular order.
The sensor senses the current which passes through these cables. A reading of the amount of
passing current is wirelessly sent to the display unit via the transmitter. The energy consumption
is shown directly on the display.
