Instructions 1. Install the Sense monitor 2. Install app at sense.com/app 3. Tap “Get Started” in the app 4.
01 Turn off power Open your electrical panel and turn off your main breaker. This helps protect you during installation. Don't forget your flashlight! If you have solar, turn off your inverter. Refer to the solar installation guide for setup instructions.
02 Remove panel cover Remove the screws securing the panel cover to access the circuit breakers.
03 Find a spot for your Sense What if there is no room? The Sense monitor is designed to fit within your main panel. Find an open spot that works for you. Use the mounting bracket provided. See more installation configurations at help.sense.com.
04 Install the antenna Using the back of a screwdriver, punch out the knockout cover in the electrical panel. Then, insert the antenna.
05 Connect Connect the power cable, current sensors, and antenna to the Sense monitor. Be sure to insert the sensor into the outer port. The middle port is for solar sensors.
06 Connect the current sensors Clamp the sensors around the service mains so that both labels are facing the same direction. The direction of the sensors does not matter, as long as they are the same. As a safety precaution, first plug the sensors into the Sense monitor.
07 Connect the power Don’t have an empty breaker? Connect the black wire and the red wire to an empty 240V breaker and the white wire to the neutral bus bar. Sense draws less than 0.1A, so you should use the smallest 240V breaker available for your panel. Connect to an existing or add a new 240V breaker. Do not use a tandem breaker, unless it is 240V. Learn more at help.sense.com.
08 Close the panel Doing electrical work? Replace the panel cover carefully to ensure that there is no pressure on the sensor clamps that would cause them to open. Label the Sense breakers with the sticker. Reattach each sensor to the same service main as before to avoid disrupting device detection.
09 Turn power on, wait for chime Moving? Take Sense with you. Once the panel is closed, turn the main breaker back on, and listen for one of the sounds listed below. It will take about a minute before hearing a sound. Visit help.sense.com for sound samples and troubleshooting information. Using the app, reset your data. Follow all safety precautions. Turn off power to the main breaker. Disconnect the sensors from the service mains. Disconnect all cables from the monitor.
