4 Page 4 I N S T A L L A T I O N A N D O P E R A T I O N S M A N U A L P A R T I I N T R O D U C T I O N TED is a new and innovative product designed to provide residential and small business owners with up-to-the-minute energy use and cost information. Electricity is one of the few products we purchase, for which we don t know the cost until weeks after we have used it. Until the development of TED, you would only find out the actual cost of the electricity purchased after the bill arrived in the mail...far too late to do anything about it. TED is an extremely accurate, precision device. Certain factors, however, such as the date and time the utility meter is read, the distance between the utility meter and electric panel, as well as other variables will result in monthly totals recorded by TED being slightly different than those measured by your electric utility. Therefore TED may never exactly match your utility bill. TED displays up-to-the-minute energy use and cost information in an easy-to-read and understand format. Current energy consumption in kilowatts (kw). Current energy cost in dollars and cents per hour ($/hr). Energy consumed so far today in kilowatt-hours (kwh). Energy cost so far today in dollars and cents ($). Energy consumed so far this billing cycle in kwh. Energy cost so far this billing cycle in $. Projected energy use for current billing cycle in kwh. Projected energy cost for current billing cycle in $. Peak electrical demand so far this billing cycle in kw. Peak use so far this billing cycle in $/hr Current voltage in Volts (V) Minimum voltage this billing cycle in Volts (V) Maximum voltage this billing cycle in Volts (V) Current Energy Rate (Tariff) $/kwh Current Date & Time Timer Alarms Historical Data TED transmits energy data from the main electric service panel to the display unit over existing power lines, thus no new wiring is required. TED measures true RMS energy use Energy, Inc.

6 Page 6 P A R T I I S A F E T Y Every effort has been made in providing for the safe, secure installation of TED. The installation of TED requires the cover of the main electrical circuit breaker panel to be removed. When this is done, there exists the potential hazard of shock, burn, or even electrocution. Do not attempt to complete this installation unless you are very familiar with the electrical components and operation of the circuit breaker panel. Even when the Main Circuit Breaker has been turned to the OFF position, there may still be areas within the circuit breaker panel that may be electrified. Do not attempt installation unless you know where these areas are. This symbol will be found throughout the instructions where there is a potential for electric shock, burn, or even electrocution. Do not attempt to complete the noted section if you are not an electrician, or qualified installer. WARNING - These servicing instructions are for use by Qualified Personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT perform any servicing other than that contained in these operational instructions, unless you are qualified to do so. WARNING - The MTU must be connected to a switch or circuit breaker in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator. It must be marked as the disconnecting device for the MTU. WARNING - If the equipment is used in a manner not specified in these instruction, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. Model 1000 TESTED TO COMPLY WITH FCC STANDARDS FOR HOME AND OFFICE USE This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operations Energy, Inc.

7 Page 7 P A R T I I I Q U I C K S T A R T I N S T R U C T I O N S Do not begin installation until you have read Part II - Safety Read all Instructions before beginning installation Estimated Installation Time: Professional Installer: minutes Equipment Needed: Flathead screwdriver - small and large Phillips screwdriver - small and large Flashlight QUALIFIED ELECTRICIANS OR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLERS FAMILIAR WITH ALL ASPECTS OF ELECTRICAL WIRING AND THEORY, MAY USE THE FOLLOWING CON- DENSED INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION OF TED. ALL OTHERS SHOULD FOLLOW THE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS IN APPENDIX A. This model of TED is suitable for installation on a single 120/240V single phase 60HZ service, normally found in North America (USA, Canada, Mexico and portions of the Caribbean). It is not suitable for three-phase service, for service where there are two or more main circuit breakers or for 230v 50HZ service commonly found in other regions of the world. Other models of TED are available for these applications. Please refer to our TED Web site: All wiring in the United States must be installed in accordance with the latest adopted edition of the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, NEC) and state or local requirements. All wiring in Canada must be installed in accordance with the latest adopted edition of the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.2 CEC, Part I) and any provincial or local requirements. Energy, Inc.

9 Page 9 Q u i c k S t a r t STEP 1 - INSTALLING THE RECEIVING DISPLAY UNIT (RDU) A) Determine a suitable location and plug the RDU into a standard 120V, 15 or 20-amp outlet Suggestion: the kitchen counter or other convenient location For optional wall mounting - see Appendix G B) The RDU should be displaying all zeroes and the LED should not be flashing. If not, another TED may be transmitting on the line. Refer to Troubleshooting Section. If the RDU is in $ display-mode, press $ Key to change to KW display mode. STEP 2 - INSTALLING THE MEASURING TRANSMITTING UNIT (MTU) (Refer To FIG 3) A) Turn off power. B) Remove panel cover. C) Determine best location to mount MTU. TURN OFF ALL POWER TO THE CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL BY TURNING OFF THE MAIN BREAKER OR MAIN SWITCH. Choose location where it will not interfere with existing equipment or wiring. The MTU may be attached using double-sided tape (if allowed in your jurisdiction), or with sheet metal or machine screws. Sticky Black Tape Install two pieces of sticky back tape to backside of MTU Insure surfaces are clean Press MTU firmly into place Screws Drill pilot holes in required location Attach with Sheet-Metal screws if flush-mounted. Attach with Machine Screws and Nuts if surface-mounted. D) Connect the black wire from the MTU to a spare 15 or 20-A circuit breaker in the panel. Note: In Canada it must be connected to a 15A circuit breaker. Mark the panel directory to indicate that this circuit controls the MTU. Note - The circuit breaker (15 or 20A) provides over current protection and a disconnecting means for the MTU. Failure to provide a properly sized circuit breaker is a violation of NEC and CEC. Note: This should be connected to a circuit breaker on the same phase as the receptacle that the RDU is plugged into. Note: The wire is stranded but it is tinned which will make it seem like installing a solid conductor. If there is no spare circuit breaker refer to Appendix C. E) Connect the white wire from the MTU to the neutral bus on the panel. Energy, Inc. P.O. Box 415 Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina (843)

10 Page 10 STEP 3 - INSTALLING AND CONNECTING THE CT S A) CAUTION IF THIS IS A COMBINATION PANEL, THE LUGS ON THE PRIMARY SIDE OF THE MAIN BREAKER ARE PROBABLY STILL HOT. The CT s must be installed with the red polarity dots either both facing towards the main breaker, or both away from the main breaker to maintain the correct polarity. If both CT s are not installed in this manner, the readings will be wrong. Note: Do not install the CT over the neutral (N) (grounded) conductor. B) Install one of the Current Transformers (CT s) over each incoming power line Phase A or B, by pressing on the handle to open the split core CT and then clipping it over the power lines as shown in Fig 3. Preferably, they should be installed on the secondary side of the main switch or main circuit breaker, however if this is not possible, such as in the case of a combination breaker panel, then install on the primary side of the main breaker. Insure that the 2 sides of the split core CT s are mated tightly together C) Connect the CT s to the MTU by plugging the plastic mating connectors together. Note: The connectors are polarized and can only be inserted one way. Do not force. D) Arrange and tie-wrap all wiring in a neat and tidy manner. E) Turn the power back on. F) Confirm that the green LED on the MTU is flashing approximately once-per-second. If not, check MTU installation or refer to Troubleshooting Section in Appendix B. Press Here STEP 4 - SETTING THE HOUSE CODE NOTE: TED s display unit can possibly receive data from other TED MTU s connected to the secondary side of the same utility transformer. To guard against reading your neighbor s electricity use, each MTU has a House Code from 000 to 255. This number can be found in two places: on a sticker on the MTU, and on a sticker included loose with the MTU. Place this sticker on the outside of the panel for future reference. The House Code is the three-digit number preceding the Serial Number. Fill in your House Code here: House Code Serial No. TO SET THE HOUSE CODE: The RDU has 4 buttons on the front labeled $, u, p, and MODE Energy, Inc.

11 Page 11 A. Hold the $ and p keys down at the same time and this screen should come up. You are reading the instruction, so go ahead and press the MODE key to go to the next screen. B. Change the N to a Y using the p key and press MODE to go to the next screen. C. Change the 000 to match the House Code for your MTU that you noted above. Press MODE when done. This will take you to the primary kw display screen. STEP 5 - CONFIRM PROPER OPERATION A) Insure that the RDU is set to read kw and not $/Hr (by depressing the $ key if necessary). NOTE: All $/Hr readings will read zero because the energy rate charge (tariff) has not been input yet. This will be done later. Observe the RDU; it should now be showing the current kw usage in the home or business. The LED on the front of the RDU should be flashing green approximately every one second, indicating that data is being sent and received properly. B) If the reading is still 0 kw, check House Code Setting (See prior section on House Code details - Page 10) C) If the reading is still 0 kw, insure that the RDU and MTU are on the same phase. If not, change the wiring in the panel so that they are, or install a phase-coupling capacitor. If still not operating, see Troubleshooting Section. Check the polarity of the CT s by turning on a large 240V load such as an electric clothes dryer or oven. If the CT s are installed with the correct polarity, then the RDU will immediately register an increased reading of 2 6 kw. If there is little or no change, then it is likely that one of the CT s has been installed backwards. Reverse one of the CT s and try again. D) The kw reading can be checked by comparison with a good clamp-on multi meter. Turn off any appliances that cycle on and off automatically to obtain a constant reading (the higher the reading the better turn on all the lights and other constant loads). Measure the voltage from phase to neutral (VL) and the current in each Phase (IA and IB). The kw display should read very close to kw = VL x (IA +IB)/1000. If the reading is much lower than this, check that the CT s have been installed with the red dots facing the same direction. E) If still not working, refer to Troubleshooting - Appendix B. F) Re-install the panel cover. G) To program Utility rates in the RDU, refer to Part IV. Energy, Inc. P.O. Box 415 Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina (843)

12 Page 12 P A R T I V - P R O G R A M M I N G T E D Estimated Programming Setup Time: Home Owner: Professional Installer: minutes 5 10 minutes PROGRAM TED AFTER THE PREVIOUS INSTALLATION PROCEDURES ARE COMPLETE. TED is designed so that the SETUP MODE need only be accessed upon initial setup, or when the Utility has a rate change, or when the user wants to modify any of the operational information time and date, billing date, etc. The entered data will stay intact when unplugged or there is a power outage. As data is entered during the SETUP MODE, it is permanently stored once the MODE Key is pressed; to change data after the initial setup routine, simply repeat the Setup procedure. To move from digit-to-digit within a field, depress the u key; To change the value, depress the p arrow (press once to advance one digit, or hold down to keep advancing); To move from one field to another, depress the MODE Key. (HOLDING DOWN the MODE Key will Save and Exit to the main display this should be done only when changes are complete). Have a copy of your most recent Electricity Bill nearby to obtain information from...you will need it. Refer to Appendix E Understanding Your Electric Bill, or Appendix F - FAQ if you are not sure how to enter your Setup Information. S E T U P M O D E (DEPRESS AND HOLD $ AND MODE KEYS SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR 2 SECONDS) INPUT DATE AND TIME Use the u and p keys to change the date, then press the MODE Key. If your locale observes Standard North American Daylight Savings Time, Choose Y. If not, Choose N then press MODE. Use the u and p keys to change the time, then press the MODE Key. INPUT METER-READ DATE This information is found on your utility bill. The Meter Read Date generally will fall on the 2004 Energy, Inc.

13 Page 13 same day each month, plus-or-minus a day; TED is designed to accurately emulate your electric bill, however, this variable (time/date the meter is read) will cause discrepancies when comparing TED to your electric bill. Use the u and p keys to change the date, then press the MODE Key. UTILITY RATES There are more than 4,000 electric utilities across the US and Canada; most tariff schedules will be accommodated by TED, however, in the event your utility uses a tariff calculation that is not found during this setup procedure, please use one that most nearly resembles your utility s tariff schedule. If you do not wish to change or set your rates press the MODE Key. This will take you to the Primary Display. Use the p key to toggle to YES if you wish to change or set your rates; then press the MODE Key SETTING UTILITY RATES There are two types of rate categories to choose from Simple or Non-simple. Note: 95% of residential customers can use simple setup. SIMPLE RATE SETUP Select Y if: Your electric bill is calculated simply by multiplying a rate times kilowatt usage (ex.- $.0085 per kwh used) - or - Your electric bill is calculated using a tiered formula ($.xxxx for 1 st xxx kwh and $.xxxx for 2 nd xxx kwh and $.xxxx for balance) Select N if you fall into any of the following categories: Your electric bill uses Summer/Winter rates Your electric bill uses Peak/Off-Peak Time rates. Your electric bill uses Demand rates / Demand Penalty Pressing the MODE Key will take you to either Simple Setup or NonSimple Setup, depending on whether you indicated Y or N. If you pressed N for Non-Simple Setup, see Appendix D. Input the number of rate charges or different step rate charges that appear on your bill. TED can accept one, two or three. Use the p key to change the number; then press the MODE Key Energy, Inc. P.O. Box 415 Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina (843)

14 Page 14 ENERGY RATE If you indicated only 1 rate, Input the rate per kwh that appears on your bill. Use the u and p keys to set the rate, then press the MODE Key. If you indicated more than 1 rate, you will see the following screens: This is where you would enter the KWH for the 1st tier. TED defaults the FROM number as 000. In the TO field, enter the upper limit KWH for the First Rate Tier. Use the u and p keys to change the KWH, then press the MODE Key. This is where you enter the rate charged for the 1st tier. Use the u and p keys to change the rate, then press the MODE Key. This is where you enter the KWH for the 2nd tier. TED intuitively knows the FROM number based on your input from Rate 1 above. In the TO field, enter the upper limit KWH for the 2nd tier. Use the u and p keys to change the KWH, then press the MODE Key. This is where you would enter the rate charged for the 2nd tier. Use the u and p keys to change the rate, then press the MODE Key. This is where you would enter the rate charged for the 3rd tier. Since you just entered limits for KWH in the 2nd Tier, TED knows the balance of KWH. Use the u and p keys to change the rate, then press the MODE Key. ENERGY SURCHARGE SALES TAX This is a charge billed by some, but not all utilities from time to time to recover their costs for extraordinary fuel prices. This % is added to energy charges only and is not added to all items of the bill. Use the u and p keys to set the rate, then press the MODE Key. Charged as a percentage calculation of the entire bill. Standard with most utilities. Use the u and p keys to set the rate, then press the MODE Key Energy, Inc.

15 Page 15 FIXED MONTHLY CHARGE For example, neighborhood street lighting costs, or any other recurring costs the Utility may pass on to the consumer. If more than one fixed fee applies, enter the sum of all fees. MINIMUM MONTHLY CHARGE Some utilities, in addition to a charge per KWH, have a minimum charge for electricity. This is a typically a flat-fee. Use the u and p keys to set the rate, then press the MODE Key. Once this field is addressed and the MODE Key pressed, Setup will be complete and TED will automatically return to the Primary Display screen. Energy, Inc. P.O. Box 415 Mt.

KW KWH TDY KWH MTD 2944 This is the total power being consumed in your home or business, in kilowatts (KW) at this instant and is updated every second. In this example kilowatts. Power is measured in watts and is a measure of voltage x current. 1,000 watts = 1 kilowatt. If you turn on a dryer rated at 4,000 watts and there is nothing else on, then the display will show approximately: KW If you turn on a 60-watt light bulb, the display will increase by KW (display should read 4.060) You can look at it this way... the readings to the left of the decimal place are in kilowatts and those to the right of the decimal place are in watts. This is the energy consumed since midnight in kilowatt-hours (KWH). In this example kilowatt-hours. One kilowatt of power consumed over one hour = one kilowatt-hour of energy. This is important to know, because your utility bills you for every kilowatt-hour you use. If your energy rate is $ per kilowatt hour, then you have spent $ so far today. Nice to know? This is the energy consumed so far this billing month in kilowatt-hours (KWH) The billing month ends on the date that you entered during the SETUP programming and is the estimated date your utility will read your meter and calculate your next bill. Because of weekends, holidays and schedules, your meter will not be read on the same exact day and time every month. Therefore, TED will never likely match your electricity bill exactly. If you enter the METER READ DATE as 31, then TED will display values for the calendar month. Energy, Inc. P.O. Box 415 Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina (843)

18 Page 18 KWH PROJ 3754 KW PEAK TODAY This is TED s best estimate of how many kilowatt-hours of electricity you will use this billing month, based on your use so far this month. You may notice some fluctuations for the first couple days of the billing cycle, until TED can get a handle on your energy use This is the peak power in kilowatts (KW) consumed so far today. This is actually averaged over one minute to reduce the spikes that occur when large motors are started. KW PEAK MTD This is the peak power consumed so far this billing month in kilowatts (KW). $ CURRENT ENERGY RATE IN EFFECT This is the current energy rate in effect being billed by your utility in Dollars per Kilowatt Hour. This is the base rate and does not include any energy surcharges, demand penalties or taxes. This should match the rate shown on your utility bill. If your rates change depending on time of day, you will see this value change. When higher rates are in effect, the green LED changes to yellow, so you can think about turning some things off until the rates go down. 8 DAYS LEFT IN BILLING CYCLE If your meter read date is the 17 th of the month and today is the 9 th of the month, then there are 8 days left in your billing cycle. $/H 1.24$ / H 1.24 This is your current power cost in dollars-per-hour. At this instant you are using $1.24 per hour. This includes any energy surcharges or sales taxes you entered during setup. TTL TDY $ This is the total cost of energy consumed since midnight: $10.35 This includes any energy surcharges and taxes Energy, Inc.

19 Page 19 TTL MTD $ This is the total cost of energy consumed so far this billing period. $ This includes any energy surcharges, taxes, demand penalties, minimum energy charges or fixed charges. TTL PROJ $ V LO HI :45 PM 11:32 am This is an estimate of what your electricity bill will be this billing period. TED is very aware of your usage pattern, and projects what your electricity bill is going to be. Since you have 8 days left in the billing cycle, and if your budget is $300, it is time to start conserving. This is the current voltage measured at your electrical panel: volts. This is a measure between one of the phases and neutral. The voltage between phases will be approximately double this, or volts. Systems in the US and Canada are nominally 120/240 volts. Readings in the range of 115 to 125 volts are considered fairly normal. This is the lowest recorded voltage at your panel since midnight and the time it was recorded. This is actually averaged over one minute to reduce spikes caused by the starting of large motors or heavy loads. This value is important, as low voltages are harmful to motor-driven equipment such as pumps, fans and air conditioners. This is the highest recorded voltage at your panel since midnight and the time it was recorded. This value is important as exceedingly high voltages can reduce lamp life and damage sensitive equipment. T 00:00:00 This is a timer similar to the one on most ovens and microwaves. Set the time in hours, minutes, or seconds using the arrow keys. Press the $ key and the timer will begin timing down. The alarm LED will flash red when it reaches 0:00:00. If you have allowed audible alarms, the timer will beep when it reaches 0:00:00. MODE key will silence alarm and reset timer. Energy, Inc. P.O. Box 415 Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina (843)

20 Page 20 P A R T V I - H I S T O R I C A L D A T A TED will begin accumulating data immediately upon the completion of Setup. You can not manually input historical data. To view the Historical Data, hold down the u and MODE keys simultaneously for 2 seconds. The first screen that appears indicates when your meter was last read, and considers information from that point forward to be current information, and information prior to that historical. Press MODE to view next screen. TED records total KWH usage as of midnight on the night of the Meter Read Date. Also shown is the cost for the usage in dollars. Note: A significant difference may appear between your electricity bill and TED due to the actual time your meter was read, and even the actual day your meter was read. Press MODE to view next screen. TED will let you view the past 2 months data. Press MODE to return to the primary display 2004 Energy, Inc.

21 Page 21 P A R T V I I - S E T T I N G A L A R M S There are 6 different alarms that can be set. Any combination of the 6 alarms may be set...none, one, some, or all. Depressing the MODE Key will advance from one alarm to the next. We recommend that you operate TED for a substantial length of time to determine which, if any, alarms you want to use based on observation of your typical readings. A l a r m M o d e W h a t h a p p e n s i n A l a r m M o d e The LED will flash red instead of green. A pop-up screen will tell you which alarm was exceeded. An audible alarm will sound for 30 seconds (unless silent alarm mode is selected). Pressing any key silences the audible alarm and returns to previous display. LED will continue to flash red until use falls below set limit. (Hold down p and MODE simultaneously for 2 seconds) $ PER HOUR ALARM KW ALARM $ SPENT MONTH-TO-DATE Once set, the alarm will sound when the Cost-Per-Hour $/H figure exceeds the LIMIT set by the user. Example: If the user wishes to be notified when the $/H exceeds $1.20, the user will have entered $1.20 as the LIMIT for the alarm. Each time $1.20 is exceeded, TED will enter Alarm Mode. Once set, the alarm will sound when the Power Usage KW figure exceeds the LIMIT set by the user. Example: If the user wishes to be notified when the KW exceeds 10.00, the user will have entered as the LIMIT for the alarm. Each time 10.00KW is exceeded, TED will enter Alarm Mode. NOTE: If your Utility is having supply problems, they may wish to advise you to keep below a certain KW during high demand periods. This is a good way to monitor the load and help out! Once set, TED will enter Alarm Mode. When the total monthto-date use figure exceeds the LIMIT set by the user. If the user is on a budget, fixed income, or just wishes to keep up with monthly spending, TED s alarm scheduled at periodic intervals throughout the month (i.e. at $50, $75, $100) would notify the user as the spending LIMIT is reached. Energy, Inc. P.O. Box 415 Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina (843)

22 Page 22 KWH MTD ALARM Once set, TED will enter Alarm Mode when the kwh figure exceeds the LIMIT set by the user. Example: If the user wishes to be notified when the month-to-date kwh exceeds 1500, the user will have entered 1500 as the LIMIT for the alarm. When 1500 kwh is reached, TED will enter Alarm Mode. LOW VOLTAGE ALARM Once set, TED will enter Alarm Mode when the voltage drops below the LIMIT set. Example: If the user wishes to be notified if the voltage drops below 110 volts, the user will have entered 110 volts as the LIMIT for the alarm. If the voltage drops below 110 volts, TED will enter Alarm Mode. Low voltage may cause damage to motors, compressors, and other sensitive electrical devices by putting undue strain on the motor, thus shortening the useful life. HIGH VOLTAGE ALARM Once set, TED will enter Alarm Mode when the voltage exceeds the LIMIT set by the user. Example: If the user wishes to be notified if the voltage exceeds 125 volts, the user will have entered 130 volts as the LIMIT for the alarm. If the voltage reaches 130 volts, TED will enter Alarm Mode. High voltage may cause damage to sensitive electrical devices and will also shorten lamp life. AUDIBLE ALARM If you would like an audible alarm, choose Y. If you prefer Silent Alarm Mode, choose N. Choosing Y will allow alarms. Choosing N will stop alarms. ALARM MESSAGE NOTE: Regardless of the settings of the Alarm Message or the Audible Alarm, the LED Alarm indicator on the face of TED will change to red if any alarm condition is met. Once the MODE Key is pressed, TED will return to the Primary Display Energy, Inc.

23 Page 23 A P P E N D I X A D E T A I L E D I N S T A L L A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S TED highly recommends that a licensed electrician or installer do the installation of the MTU and CT s. Many jurisdictions require that a licensed electrician and/or contractor perform the work. However most jurisdictions allow a homeowner to do electrical installations in his/her own home. If allowed, and If you prefer to do the installation yourself, then you must read and understand the entire procedure prior to starting. 1) Learn about Electrical wiring and installations: a) Obtain and read a suitable guide to electric wiring, such as Beginners Guide to Electric Wiring by F. Guillou & C. Grey, The Complete Guide to Home Wiring by Black & Decker or any of the many other books on the subject. These are usually available at your local library or through booksellers or online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, etc. b) Obtain information from your local utility or government agency on safe procedures and permitting requirements. c) Obtain a copy of the latest adopted edition of the National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical Code for reference. These are usually available at your local library, booksellers or online. d) Seek help from a friend or neighbor who has successfully installed electric wiring before. 2) Understand Electrical Services a) Typical System Voltage for residential electrical services in North America is 120/240V Single Phase 3 Wire 60 Hz. Some small businesses will use this voltage as well. This is nominal voltage and will fluctuate ± 10%. TED is designed to work on voltages from 100/200V to 130/260V. b) TED Model 1000 will not work on 120/208V Three Phase 4Wire or 120/240V Three Phase 4 Wire services. TED Model 1000 will not work on any Three Phase Service nor will it work on services where the nominal voltage is over 120/240V. Other TED Models may be available for this. Please refer to our website. c) Typical service sizes are 60A (Amps), 100A, 150A, 200A, 300A & 400A The size you have will depend on the size of the residence and large electrical loads such as electric heat, air conditioning, water heaters, etc. TED Model 1000 is designed to work on services up to 200A. Other TED models are available for larger services. Please refer to our web site. d) Fig A-1 (Page 20) shows a typical service arrangement. 3) Understand your Particular Installation Situation. There are numerous types of electrical service installations. Determine the specifics of your installation, before you start. a) The service can be overhead or underground. b) The main device can be a circuit breaker or a fused switch. c) The panel can be circuit breaker type or fuses (though typically you will only find fuses in older installations.) d) The main device can be installed before the meter, between the meter and panel or Energy, Inc.

24 Page 24 A P P E N D I X A D E T A I L E D I N S T A L L A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S (Continued) it can be part of the panel itself. e) The most common installation is a combination circuit breaker panel, where the main circuit breaker is located at the top or bottom of the panel. f) If the main device is located before the panel, then turning it off will insure that there are no energized parts in the panel. g) If the main device is part of the panel, then turning the device off leaves the incoming lugs of the main device still energized. In this case you really should have the MTU and CT s professionally installed. h) Refer to Fig. A-2. 4) Understand the terminology. a) Your service has two power conductors and one neutral conductor (grounded conductor) coming in. The power wires are sometimes referred to as Line 1 and Line 2, however in this manual we have referred to them as Phase A and Phase B. b) The NEC and CEC sometimes refer to the neutral conductor as the grounded conductor. This wire is always white, except for large conductors, which might be black with a white band of phasing (marking) tape or in the case of service entrance cable where it may be bare. Don t confuse this with the grounding conductor, which is an equipment ground and is either bare or green in color. At the main neutral bus of the main device, the center tapped conductor of the main service is grounded to either a ground rod or metal water pipe. Thus the neutral conductor is referred to as the grounded conductor in the NEC and CEC. c) 120 Volt loads such as receptacles and lights are connected between one of the phase circuit breakers and the neutral bus and will have a single pole circuit breaker. 240 Volt loads are connected between Phases A and B and will have a two pole circuit breaker. The MTU must be connected to a single pole 15 or 20A circuit breaker (15 Amp in Canada) and the neutral bus. d) The MTU transmits bits of data over the existing power lines to the electrical receptacle that the RDU is plugged into. e) Referring to Fig A-1 you can see that if the MTU is connected to Phase A and the RDU is plugged into a receptacle on Phase A, then the data path is from the panel to the receptacle. However if the MTU is on Phase A and the receptacle is on Phase B, then the path is from the panel, out to the utility transformer, across the secondary windings of the transformer, back to the panel and then to the receptacle. TED is not designed to transmit all this way. It may work, but for consistent, reliable operation you need to insure that they are both on the same phase. 5) How do I know if they are on the same phase? a) Generally the phases alternate as they go down the panel. The circuit breakers on the left side of the panel are usually numbered 1, 3, 5, 7,... and those on the right hand side are numbered 2, 4, 6, Generally circuit 1 will be Phase A, Circuit 3 will be Phase B, Circuit 5 will be Phase A, etc Energy, Inc.

25 Page 25 A P P E N D I X A D E T A I L E D I N S T A L L A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S (Continued) b) Circuit breakers are generally 1 wide. In some cases 1 2 wide circuit breakers are used. The phases alternate in 1 segments, so two 1 2 circuit breakers will share the same phase. In this case circuits 1,3 will be on Phase A and 5,7 will be on Phase B, etc. c) The easiest solution is to simply determine which circuit breaker turns off the RDU and connect the MTU to the same circuit breaker. d) Refer to Fig A-3. 6) Connecting the MTU wires a) When installing the MTU power wires to the circuit breaker or neutral bus, it is important that the connections be snug. If these are not snug connections, there is a possibility of arcing faults and fire. b) Insure that the wires fit between the pressure plates on the circuit breaker or through the screw hole on the neutral bus. c) Tighten snugly, but do not over tighten. d) Pull on the wires to insure they are properly secured. 7) Installing the current transformers. a) The current transformers must be clipped over the two phase conductors, Phase A and Phase B. Never over the neutral conductor. b) The current transformers must be installed with the red polarity dots facing the same direction. Either both facing the main circuit breaker or both facing away from the main circuit breaker. If they are installed incorrectly the power in Phase B will be subtracted from that in Phase A instead of being added and all measurements will be incorrect. c) The jaws of the CT s must close snuggly; if not closed snugly, the readings will be low. 8) Safety a) To guard against electric shock, wear rubber soled shoes and do not work in wet locations. b) To guard against electric shock wear rubber gloves approved for the maximum voltage of the equipment. c) To guard against electric flash, wear safety goggles and gloves. 9) Installing the MTU and CT s a) If you are confident that you know what you are doing and you are allowed to do so by the authorities having jurisdiction. Please be careful and proceed with the installation detailed in Part III. Energy, Inc. P.O. Box 415 Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina (843)

SOLUTION Insure that RDU House Code matches the MTU House Code. MTU Green LED is not flashing once per second. RDU Green LED is not flashing. Circuit breaker not turned on Poor connection Wrong voltage MTU LED not flashing Wrong house code MTU connected to opposite phase than RDU Turn on circuit breaker Check connections Check voltage with voltmeter between black and white conductors. Acceptable voltage range is Volts. Check MTU. Insure house code set in RDU matches MTU. Change MTU connection to same phase as RDU. Surge suppression plug strips are causing the data signal to be lost to ground Unplug any plug strips with surge suppression capacitors. RDU LED flashes once per second, but every once in a while fails to flash (misses a beat). The MTU sends data to the RDU once per second. The LED flashes every time a good packet of data is received. This should be once per second. A missed beat indicates that a packet of data was missed that second. This may signal a poor data connection or too many TED s transmitting on the line. Check to make sure that both RDU and MTU are on the same phase. If it only skips a beat every once in a while, it is not a significant problem. TED automatically compensates for missed data transmissions. RDU LED flashes sporadically. Poor data connection. Check to make sure the RDU and MTU are on the same phase. If you are in an apartment block or multi-family housing, there may be too many TED s transmitting on the line. Contact Tech Support. Energy, Inc. P.O. Box 415 Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina (843)

30 Page 30 A P P E N D I X B T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G (Continued) SYMPTOM RDU Green LED is flashing, but display is all zeros. POSSIBLE CAUSE Display is set to $ but rate setup is not complete. SOLUTION Insure that RDU is set on KW not $ display by toggling the $ key. Complete rate setup procedure. RDU is displaying a value for KW but it doesn t seem to be correct, or when I turn on an electrical load the KW display does not change appropriately. RDU is displaying a correct value for KW but $ display is all zeros. Current Transformers are incorrectly installed. Wrong house code Rate setup is not complete. Insure that both CT s have their red polarity dots facing the same direction. Insure that jaws on CT s are firmly closed together. You are reading your neighbor s energy use. Insure that house code set in RDU matches that set in MTU. Complete utility rate setup. I just installed TED and TED is displaying $0.03 today but $15.03 for the month to date. You have entered a minimum monthly charge during setup. You entered a fixed monthly charge during setup. No action required. If you entered a minimum monthly charge, then $ Month to Date, will display the minimum charge until the minimum is exceeded. The daily total does not reflect the minimum charge No action required. If you entered a fixed monthly charge, then $ Month to Date, will display this amount plus the $ used to day. My utility bill didn t match TED s stored data. TED was installed during the middle of the billing period. No action required. TED should match your bill for the next month. KWH use did not match my bill. Incorrect installation or poor communication link. Insure that MTU and CT s are installed correctly and that communication is operating correctly Energy, Inc.

31 Page 31 A P P E N D I X B T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G (Continued) SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION KWH use matched my bill but $ amount did not. TED did not match my utility bill exactly. The LED on the RDU is flashing yellow instead of green. Rate setup is incorrect. This is normal. TED is designed to be accurate within ± 2%, but is usually within ± 1%. However, if you set the meter read date as the 10th of the month, then TED computes your monthly total based on a month beginning at 12:01a.m. on the 10th of the month. In fact your utility may have read your meter at 4:00 in the afternoon and if the 10th is a weekend, may have read it on the 8th, 9th, 10th or 11th. Many utilities only read your meter once every six months and simply estimate your use. You have either entered peak/offpeak rates or a demand penalty. TED is warning you that you are now in a higher rate period. Insure that TED is programmed correctly. If you are not sure, send us an with a copy of your utility bill, or the name and address of the utility and the rate code in effect. TED will send you the correct setup parameters to use. No action required, unless the differences can not be explained by the differences in read dates. If the difference is larger than can be explained, then is it the KWH that is incorrect or the $ total? If the KWH is incorrect, check the installation. If the $ is incorrect, check the setup information. Turn off lights and electrical appliances. The LED on the RDU is flashing red instead of green. You have exceeded an alarm parameter. Turn something off, alter your use patterns, or alter your alarm settings. TED was working just fine and then quit. TED locked up due to spikes on the electrical line. TED is a mini computer and just like your PC can lock up. If this happens, unplug the RDU, count to 15 and plug it back in. If the MTU locks up, turn off the circuit & count to 15 and turn it back on. Energy, Inc. P.O. Box 415 Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina (843)

32 Page 32 A P P E N D I X C N O S P A R E C I R C U I T B R E A K E R If there are no spare circuit breakers and the existing circuit breakers are approved for use with more than one conductor, (most 15 and 20-amp circuit breakers are), then the black conductor may be connected to one of the existing circuit breakers. If the circuit breakers are not approved for 2 conductors, or if the authority in your jurisdiction does not allow this procedure, then it will be necessary to install a new 15 or 20-Amp circuit breaker in an existing space in the panel. (Note: in Canada 15-Amp circuit breakers or fuses must be used). If there are no existing spaces in the panel, then one of the existing circuit breakers may be replaced with a tandem or thin circuit breaker to create an additional circuit.
