How the ENVI works
The ENVI uses clamps that detect a tiny magnetic field that is created as current moves through
power cables. The greater your energy use, the greater the magnetic signature. The clamps are
connected to a transmitter that sends a signal wirelessly to the display every 12 seconds. The
display calculates the data and shows you how much energy you are using in real time. It also
stores your historical energy usage. Data can be exported to your computer and various software
programs can graph your usage various ways.
The ENVI monitor is not a substitute for utility supplied electric meters. The ENVI is an informational
tool only. Utility electric meters monitor usage full time and are therefore more accurate.
We recommend that you install the display in your kitchen or other area where you can check the
display regularly. Over time you will learn more about your energy use pattern and will know when
it is higher than normal. As you leave your home or go to bed, a quick glance will confirm that you
are not wasting energy.

This device is designed to provide years of maintenance
free energy usage information. Since the device monitors
whole home energy usage measured through the incoming
main electricity feed cables, the installer must have some
knowledge of electricity including working on or around
wires and power panels. The ENVI monitor does not
require you to carry out any electrical wiring.
If you have any doubt about how to install it safely
consult a qualified electrician. Similarly, if you notice
anything unusual about your electricity supply, such as
loose wires, exposed cabling, burn marks or holes in the
insulating materials, damage to your meter, then stop
immediately and consult an electrician or your energy
supplier.
IMPORTANT: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR ENVI.

Transmitters can send a wireless signal up to 100 feet indoors. You must deduct
10 feet from this range for every wall between the transmitter and the display.
