5.1 Wiring Diagram

Connect the energy meter according to the following general wiring principles. Always consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about the wiring process.

1. Disconnect Power: Before starting any wiring, ensure the main power supply to the circuit is completely disconnected at the breaker.
2. Identify Terminals: The meter has clearly marked "in" (input) and "out" (output) terminals for Line (L) and Neutral (N).
3. Connect Input: Connect the incoming Line (L) wire from the power source to the "L in" terminal and the incoming Neutral (N) wire to the "N in" terminal.
4. Connect Output: Connect the outgoing Line (L) wire to the load to the "L out" terminal and the outgoing Neutral (N) wire to the "N out" terminal.
5. Secure Connections: Ensure all wire connections are tight and secure to prevent loose contacts and potential hazards.
6. Restore Power: Once all connections are verified, restore power to the circuit.

5.2 Initial Power-Up
