Safety

The installation of this device must be performed by a professional electrician. After the circuit breaker panel cover has been removed, the potential hazard of shock, burn, or even electrocution now exists. Even when the main circuit breaker has been turned to the “OFF” position, certain areas within the circuit breaker panel may still be electrified. Do not attempt installation unless you know where these electrified areas are.
WARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock – do not connect to a circuit operating at more than 250 volts to ground.
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 instructions, the protection providedby the equipment may be impaired.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of electric shock, always open or disconnect circuit from power-distribution system (or service) of building before installing or servicing current sensors or metering equipment.
FCC Compliance Statement – 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 operation.
ISED Regulatory Compliance Statement – This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference. (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Installation Procedure

Step 1 – Locating the electrical service
When the electrical panel has been located, turn off the main power and remove breaker panel cover.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of electric shock, always open or disconnect circuit from powerdistribution  system (or service) of building before installing or servicing current sensors or metering equipment.  Step 2 – Installing the MTU
Please make sure to follow the guidelines highlighted below to correctly mount the TED 2.0 Measuring Transmitting Unit (MTU) inside the breaker panel. The included self-drilling screws can be used to mount the MTU directly in the breaker box.

1. Submetering equipment shall not be mounted within 50.8 mm (2 in) in of any live parts including primary conductors, primary terminals, primary lugs. This requirement excludes insulated cables.
2. Submeters attached to the enclosure shall not contact the panel interior insulation.
3. Mounting provisions shall not be attached to any live part.
4. Voltage sensing and power supply connections to the primary voltage shall have overcurrent protection.
5. Do not install submetering equipment in any area where breaker arc venting exhaust gasses could be redirected as a result of submetering equipment installation.

Step 3 – Installing the Current Transformers (CTs)
Please make sure to follow the guidelines highlighted below to correctly install the Current Transformers (CTs).

1. Always open or disconnect circuit from power-distribution system (or service) of building before installing of servicing current sensors;
2. The current sensors may not be field installed in the wiring space of enclosures for switches or overcurrent devices if the area of all current sensors, conductors, splices, taps and equipment at any cross section of the wiring space does not exceed 75 percent of the cross-sectional area of that space;
3. Restrict installation of current sensor in an area where it would block ventilation openings;
4. Restrict installation of current sensor in area of breaker arc venting;
5. “Not suitable for Class 2 wiring methods” and “Not intended for connection to Class 2 equipment”;
6. Secure current sensor and route conductors so that the conductors do not directly contact live terminals or bus. This instruction may be considered optional if integral field wiring lead or associated cable insulation is rated 105°C (221°F) or greater. Current sensors with terminals where the conductors are supplied during installation shall still include this instruction; and
7. WARNING – To reduce the risk of electric shock, always open or disconnect circuit from power-distribution system (or service) of building before installing or servicing current sensors or metering equipment.
8. BASIC INSULATION, use only on insulated conductor, secured from contacting live parts.

Start by connecting the terminal connectors of the Current Transformers (CTs) to the port “A” and port “B” on the MTU. Once connected, open the CT by lifting the locking tab on the side of the CT, over the restraining clip. Place the CTs) around the main conductors so that the red dots are pointing towards the utility power source. Once the sensors are in the correct orientation, clip the sensor covers into place. Step 4- Installing the MTU Power Cable
Connect the black wire and the red wire to an empty 240V breaker and the white wire (shown as gray in the image below) to the neutral bus bar. Once the voltage cable has been installed, insert the power connector to the “PWR” port on the MTU.
NOTE: Do not connect the Power Cable to the MTU until you have the CTs connected. The MTU must sense the CT connections on power up. Step 5- Installing the Extension Cable
Punch out a knockout cover, plug the provided extension cable to the MTU and secure it though the side of the breaker box. (Please see the Wi-Fi module user guide to complete the installation outside the breaker panel)
Step 6- Turning the main power back ON
Replace panel cover, add TED Sticker next to the breaker where the unit has been installed and turn the main power back on.  Need Further Assistance?
