Mount Eyedro Device

Vertical (wall) Mounting

  1. Write down the 8-digit serial number from the back of the module. This will be required during software setup.
    • The serial number will be in the format “123 – 45678
    • PRO TIP: Record the serial number on the Quick Start Guide along with any other installation details.
  2. Find a clear area on the wall beside the electrical panel.
    • Make sure all cables will easily reach the module before securing.
  3. Mark locations on the wall for the screws using the module as a template.
  4. If preferred, drill a pilot hole in the marked locations using a 2.5 mm (7/64″) drill bit.
  5. Drive the two (2) pan head screws into the wall surface through the flange holes on the sides of the enclosure.
  6. Carefully tighten the screws until snug. Do not overtighten or it may cause damage to the flange(s).
  7. Ensure secure fit.

Horizontal (surface) Mounting

Mounting is not required for horizontal installations (i.e., on a desktop or shelf). If added security is desired, follow instructions for vertical mounting using screws or double-sided tape.

Connect Cabling

Important

  • Ensure all connectors and sockets are free from damage prior to mating them.
  • Ensure the retention clip on the Ethernet cable is intact.
  • Never force connectors.
  • Never apply levering action while connecting or disconnecting.
  • Always grasp connectors by the strain relief while connecting or disconnecting.
  • Ensure all connections are secure.
  1. Unplug the device/load that will be monitored.
  2. Connect the provided outlet power cord to the outlet socket of the Eyedro Inline module.
  3. Connect the provided inlet power cord to the inlet socket of the Eyedro Inline module.
  4. Connect the plug of the device to be monitored to the receptacle side of the outlet cord.
  5. Connect the plug side of the inlet cord into a nearby AC wall receptacle or power strip.
