The Energy Detective - TED Model 1001 - Power Monitor w/ FootPrints Software
 

TED is a simple, yet extremely accurate, home energy monitor that allows you to see electricity usage in real-time. You no longer have to wait for the 'electricity bill surprise'! TED will accurately tell you what your bill is going to be long before the electric bill arrives. Meanwhile, you will learn more about conserving energy, saving money, and helping save the environment.

With its patented solution to home energy management, TED quantifies electricity and displays the results on its easy-to-read LCD screen. Unlike some complicated electricity conservation systems, TED is a simple, intuitive and affordable way to monitor and manage your entire home's energy consumption. Think of it as your home's speedometer.

With its two-second reaction time, TED provides immediate feedback on energy usage. For you, that means no surprises. You can see what you're spending on electricity each second, as well as what you've spent so far today or so far this month.

For a more comprehensive look at your electricity usage, and to really 'see' where you may be wasting electricity (AND MONEY) we have included "TED Footprints"... dynamic software that allows you to log your electricity usage on your PC for graphing, charting, load-profiling and much more!

And with the help of TED, you're not only able to better manage your own dollars, you are also helping your neighbors, your community, and the environment through energy conservation.

How do I Install TED?

Installation is very simple and quick. A qualified homeowner or electrician can install TED in about 10-15 minutes. TED operates on the existing wires in your home, so there is no need to run any additional wires.

Typical Installation Diagram

Typical Installation Diagram

This graphic is not to be considered installation instructions, but simply an overview of the effort. Complete installation instructions with all safety concerns are included in your purchase.

TED is comprised of 2 basic components - a transmitter (MTU seen above with CTs) and a display unit (which is plugged into any outlet in the home). There are no wires to run.

Data is transmitted over existing wiring in your home every 1 second, so no matter where you plug TED's display in, it receives the data - in very real time!

The reason an electrician should perform the MTU (transmitter) installation is that the cover of the electric panel is removed. Serious injury/death could occur if you are not very familiar with electrical components and operation of the circuit breaker panel. It is a very simple installation for an electrician. It shouldn't take an electrician more than 10 minutes to install
