Installation steps
1. If you are planning on using the hard-wired Ethernet port, skip to Step 3.
(a) Find a spot at the installation site that has both an available power
outlet and a nearby Ethernet port (for access to the LAN).
(b) Plug the HomePlug AV adapter into the outlet.
(c) Connect the HomePlug AV adapter to the Ethernet port with the sup-
plied Ethernet cable.
2. Use a circuit-breaker-finder to locate the breaker for the outlet into which
the HomePlug AV adapter is plugged into. Designate the breaker’s phase
as L1. In split-phase installations, label the other phase L2. In 3-phase
installations, label the other two phases L2 and L3 (order does not matter,
as long as the labeling is applied consistently throughout the installation).
3. Install the new breaker(s) in the power-distribution panel such that they pro-
vide access to all phases.
4. Open the breakers so there is no power on the breaker contacts.
5. Mount the eGauge inside a suitable enclosure near the power distribution
panel.
6. Wire the 5-position plug as follows:
(a) Black wire: pin labeled
L1
to breaker for phase L1.
(b) White wire: pin labeled
N
to Neutral.
(c) Red wire: pin labeled
L2
to breaker for phase L2.
(d) Blue wire: pin labeled
L3
to breaker for phase L3 (3-phase installa-
tions only).
