To install the Sense ‎12000 Energy Monitor, follow these steps:

1. Turn off power: Open your electrical panel and turn off your main breaker. If you have solar, turn off your inverter as well.

2. Remove panel cover: Remove the screws securing the panel cover to access the circuit breakers.

3. Find a spot for your Sense: Locate an open spot within your main panel to install the Sense monitor. If there is no room, use the mounting bracket provided.

4. Install the antenna: Punch out the knockout cover in the electrical panel using the back of a screwdriver. Insert the antenna into the opening.

5. Connect: Connect the power cable, current sensors, and antenna to the Sense monitor. Ensure that you insert the sensor into the outer port and the middle port is for solar sensors.

6. Connect the current sensors: Clamp the sensors around the service mains, making sure that both labels are facing the same direction.

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 if possible.

8. Close the panel: Carefully replace the panel cover, ensuring that there is no pressure on the sensor clamps. Label the Sense breakers with the provided sticker.

9. Turn power on, wait for chime: Once the panel is closed, turn the main breaker back on and listen for the installation chime. It may take about a minute before hearing a sound.
