Home Energy Monitor by Neurio Technology P RELI M I N A RY D O N OT D I ST RI B UT E W2 Installation Guide
Welcome This booklet will guide you or your electrican through the installation process of Neurio. We will focus on a 2-phase system, the most common power system in North America. If you have a one-phase or 3-phase or solar system, please visit support.neur.
CAUTION: It is highly recommended that this product be installed by an electrician or other qualified professional. Please read and review the safety warning provided at the end of this book * The voltage cables on the Neurio Sensor need to be installed on two empty breakers (one for each phase) or one empty dual (double) pole breaker.

Overview of Install Step 1 Step 6 Turn off the main breaker Connect the antenna Step 2 Step 7 Remove the panel cover Check your work Step 3 Step 8 Mount the sensor Replace the panel cover Step 4 Step 9 Connect the voltage cable Connect Neurio to WiFi Step 5 Connect the CTs If you get stuck at any point, visit support.neur.io for walkthrough videos and helpful tips.
Step 1: Turn off main breaker Simply flip the switch to turn off the Main Breaker. ON OFF Note: If you have more than 1 electrical panel, make sure Neurio is installed in the main one (the one that draws power directly from your utility).
Step 2: Remove panel cover Remove the screws on the corners of the panel and remove the cover. After you do this, you should see the wires going into each breaker and main lines from the utility.. ON Note: If your panel has a secondary cover that hides the main utility line, please remove that as well.
Step 3: Mount the W2 Sensor Find a suitable place in your panel where Neurio can fit. Then, using the supplied self-drilling screws, secure the mounting plate to your metal panel. Now clip your Neurio into place.
ON OFF CAUTION: Be sure to account for the length of the CTs and the 2-foot voltage cable, and ensure that there is enough room on the sides of Neurio for the wires and antenna to connect to..
Step 4: Connect the Voltage Cable a) Connect the voltage cable to Neurio by inserting the connector b) Connect the black and red wires to the empty 15 or 20 amp breakers. Connect the white wire to the neutral bus bar usually located next to the breaker.
Alternate wiring with wiretap If an empty breaker isn’t available, you can use the provided wiretaps to connect to an existing breaker. To do this, remove the existing wire from a 15 or 20 amp breaker and replace it with the jumper wire provided in the contents of the box. Then use the wiretap to connect the jumper wire, the wire from Neurio, and the original wire you removed from the breaker. It might take a little force to ensure the wires are secured into the wiretap all the way.
Step 5: Connect the CTs a) For Universal CTs, just pinch the handle to open the jaws CAUTION: Be sure to take care to not touch the exposed main line connections to the main breaker
b) Loop the CT around each of the main power lines. Pay close attention to the label. The direction it faces is very important. ON OFF c) Insert the CT connectors to the ports labeled [1] and [2].
Step 6: Hook up the antenna a) Attach the extension cable to the Neurio Sensor b) Locate a metal circular knockout in your panel and remove the metal to expose the hole. Gently tapping with a hammer may be needed. c) Thread the extension cable through the antenna mount and screw on the antenna.

Step 7: Review your work a) Antenna with extension cable b) Neurio W2 Sensor c) Voltage Cable i) Blue and Red wire to 2 breakers ii)Black wire to Neutral to bus bar d) CT Connector i) Connector around mains ii) Make sure the label is facing ..
ON OFF
Step 8: Put on panel cover You're almost done. Replace the cover on your panel. Make sure to place the supplied Neurio breaker sticker next to the breaker that Neurio's black wire.
When powered on, Neurio will play the following tones to indicate its status in sequential order: TO N E I N D I CAT I O N DESCRIPTION Voltage check One beep for each voltage wire that is connected. For a 2-phase installation there should be two beeps to indicate that the black and red wires are connected. Neurio’s WiFi network started Neurio has started hosting its own WiFi network. You can join this network to configure Neurio and connect it to your own WiFi network.
Step 9: Connect Neurio to Wifi Now that the Neurio Sensor has been installed, please follow the instructions in the Welcome Guide to connect Neurio to the Wifi Network.
