Aeotec Home Energy Meter (Z-DSB28-ZWUS) - Installation Guide
Step 1: Connect the Home Energy Monitor to the AC Mains
- Turn the main breaker off and open the main circuit box panel.
- Clip clamps of the meter around the incoming electricity cable that connects to the main circuit breaker.
Important: HEM G2 have directionality on the clamps. Please make sure that the direction of the current is going from K to L on both clamps. Both clamps need to be consistent in the direction of the current (from K to L).
-
Connect the clamp to the meter using a Clamp Connector (1). Affix one of the AC Power exposed wires into a neutral bus terminal and the other exposed wire into a live terminal coming from the main circuit breaker.
Step 2: Place the Home Energy Meter
Inside the meter is a radio antenna used for communications, and this must be taken into consideration when selecting a location for the meter. If the circuit box is made of metal, it is recommended that the main body of the meter be affixed outside the circuit box. The Home Energy Meter G2 has been weatherized to the international IP44 standard so that it is resistant to rain and snow when placed vertically with the wires protruding from the bottom of the unit.
