Introduction
The Smappee monitor is a device that measures the energy consumption of your electrical
appliances with one sensor close to the fuse box. The sensor is clamped around the mains
cable and records the energy use. The various devices are recognized by their energy
signature or the electrical traces they leave. If you have solar panels, you can also use the
Smappee monitor to measure the energy generated.
The Smappee monitor is installed close to the fuse box. It then starts measuring your
energy consumption and the yield of your solar panels as well as communicating with your
smartphone or tablet. The Smappee app gives you direct insight in your energy consumption,
energy costs and the yield of your solar panels. To save on energy costs and contribute to a
greener environment, you can take on energy guzzlers and standby power.
This manual describes the installation of the Smappee monitor. All information about the
WiFi configuration of the Smappee monitor and the use of the Smappee app can be found in
the Smappee user manual.

Installations with Single Phase
The following instructions describe the installation steps for single phase households
without solar power.
Preconditions: You have successfully connected your Smappee monitor to your Wi-Fi
network (you see a green heartbeat).
Steps
1. Switch the power off to your home using the main breaker. This is usually the largest
switch in your meter cabinet.
2. Install the current transformers (CT) on the mains cables as shown below. Please pay
attention to the direction : L needs to point towards the fuse box.

3. Now connect the two ends of the CT in port 1 & 3 of Smappee. Result is shown below.
4. Switch the power to your home back on.
5. Plug the Smappee power cable into the nearest available power outlet and wait until
Smappee shows, again, the green heartbeat. Note: A red light is an indication of a
weak
Wi-Fi signal.

Installations with Solar Power
The following instructions describe the installation steps for households with solar power
(single phase).
Preconditions: You have successfully connected your Smappee monitor to your Wi-Fi
network (you see a green heartbeat).
Steps
1. Switch the power off to your home using the main breaker. This is usually the largest
switch in your meter cabinet.
2. Disconnect the power supply of your solar panels.
3. Install the current transformers (CT) on the mains cables in opposite direction of each other:
one CT, L, points towards the fuse box, the other CT, L, points towards the utility meter.
Remark! On the drawings below the CT twice points towards the same direction, but the
drawings have been included to clarify the explanation.

Click both ends of the CT in the Y cable.
Make sure the lock is in the correct direction
Now put the Y cable coming from the Mains on input 1. Install the CT’s on the cables from
the Solar inverter in a similar way on the CT’s on the mains cables. Mount 2 CT’s in the Y
cable and put the Y cable coming from the Solar panels on input 2 of the Smappee.
