Introduction The GreenWave Reality platform helps create a smart, energy-efficient energy efficient home through the monitoring and controlling of your appliances and electronics (referred to as “devices”). You can conserve energy with minimal impact to your lifestyle by using our products to easily manage your devices.
Pulse Reader Overview The GreenWave Reality Pulse Reader connects to your electric and/or gas meters to measure energy usage. The information read through the Pulse Reader can then be transmitted to your GreenWave Reality R Gateway so that you can monitor and control your energy use. The Pulse Reader is weather-resistant resistant and designed to be mounted next to your electric and/or gas meters.
Installation You must follow several installation steps to connect your Pulse Reader to your meter. These steps include: • Preparing for installation • Attaching the self-adhesive adhesive template to the meter to ensure accurate placement of the sensors • Attaching the Pulse Reader sensors to your meter(s) • Installing batteries, if they are not already pre-installed pre • Securing the Pulse Reader unit in place near your meter(s) 1.
current reading and the base value: The exact target area on your meter depends on whether it is an electric or gas meter, as well as the specific type. 2. Attach Template to Meter Since placement of the Pulse Reader cable sensor on the meter is critical, your kit includes self-adhesive templates to help you align the sensor. Visually align the marking on the template to the target placement on your meter.
3. Attach Sensor to Meter Before removing the adhesive backing from the cable sensor, make sure it aligns correctly over the open area of the template. The grey-colored sensor attaches to your gas meter, and the white-colored sensor attaches to your electric meter. As you align the sensor over the template, make sure there will be no overhang of the sensor that might extend far over the template area.
5. Secure Pulse Reader Next to Meter Using the self-adhesive Velcro strips, mount the Pulse Reader unit to a stable location near your meters. Make sure there is no tension on the sensor cables attached to the meter.
