However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
To satisfy FCC RF Exposure requirements for mobile and base station transmission devices, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during operation. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Additional Important Safety Information for Electricity Monitoring Products
It is important that you observe some simple safety precautions when installing Eyedro Electricity Monitoring products. The Eyedro Electricity Monitor was designed to be non-intrusive and easy to install. Typically, there is no need to disconnect any electrical cabling during the installation. However, there are several safety issues that should be considered when installing and using the system.
Unsure about handling electrical wiring? Consult a qualified electrician for sensor installation.
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, metering equipment, or sub-metering equipment.
Installation may require the cover of the main electrical panel to be removed while some wires are still electrified. Even when the main breaker has been turned ‘OFF’ certain areas of the panel may still be dangerous and carry the risk of shock, burn, and electrocution. Installation should be performed by qualified electrician or duly qualified personnel where required by law. Check with your local authority having jurisdiction for permit and inspection requirements. DO NOT attempt installation unless you know where electrified areas within the panel are.
The current sensors clip on to the live cables which supply electricity to your electrical panel and/or branch circuits and loads. When installing these sensors:
- DO NOT install the sensor onto a cable whose current exceeds the rated current of the sensor.
- DO NOT install the sensor onto cabling that is loose, wet, or appears damaged (cracked, burned, bare copper or missing insulation). Contact a qualified electrician and/or your electricity supplier to report your findings.
- DO NOT bend or force the cables during installation.
- DO NOT force the sensor onto the cabling if the cable diameter appears to be too large.
