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.

• 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

• 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.
