To install the Sense 12001 Tracker, please follow the instructions provided in the manual. Here is a step-by-step guide:
1. Turn off power: Before starting the installation, turn off the main breaker in your electrical panel. If you have solar, also turn off your inverter.
2. Remove panel cover: Remove the screws securing the panel cover to access the circuit breakers.
3. Find a spot for your Sense: The Sense monitor is designed to fit within your main panel. Find an open spot that works for you. If there is no room, use the mounting bracket provided.
4. Install the antenna: Using the back of a screwdriver, punch out the knockout cover in the electrical panel. Then, insert the antenna.
5. Connect: Connect the power cable, current sensors, and antenna to the Sense monitor. Be sure to insert the sensor into the outer port. The middle port is for solar sensors.
6. Connect the current sensors: Clamp the sensors around the service mains so that both labels are facing the same direction. The direction of the sensors does not matter, as long as they are the same.
7. Connect the power: Connect the black wire and the red wire to an empty 240V breaker and the white wire to the neutral bus bar. Use the smallest 240V breaker available for your panel.
8. Close the panel: Replace the panel cover carefully to ensure that there is no pressure on the sensor clamps that would cause them to open. Label the Sense breakers with the sticker.
9. Turn power on, wait for chime: Once the panel is closed, turn the main breaker back on and listen for the chime sound. It may take about a minute before hearing the sound.
