How do I Install TED?
Installation is very simple and quick. A technically-savvy homeowner, neighbor, friend or electrician can install TED in 10-15 minutes. TED operates on the existing wires in your home, so there is no need to run any additional wires.Typical Installation Diagram:
This graphic is not to be considered installation instructions, but simply an overview of the effort. Complete installation instructions with all safety concerns are included in your purchase.
TED 5000 is comprised of 2 basic components - a transmitter (MTU seen above with thumb-squeeze, clip-on CTs) and a Gateway (which is plugged into any outlet in the home). The Gateway simply plugs into any electrical outlet in the home. There are no wires to run. Data is transmitted over existing wiring in your home every 1 second, so no matter where you plug TED's Gateway in, it receives the data - in very real time!
The reason a technically-savvy person or an electrician should perform the MTU (transmitter) installation is that the cover of the electric panel is removed. Serious injury/death could occur if you are not familiar with electrical components and operation of the circuit breaker panel. It is a very simple installation for an electrician.
