The Energy Detective TED 5000-C Electricity Monitor

Please complete the TED system installation and setup before attempting to run this driver. You must be able to login to the TED gateway using the Footprints Software program.

The MTU (Measuring Transmitting Unit) measures and transmits Energy, Power and Voltage over the powerline to the Gateway. The Gateway plugs into an outlet and connects to an XP series processor and computer via Ethernet.

The TED 5000 Gateway receives and records live data from 1,2,3 or 4 MTU's (MTU 1, MTU 2, MTU 3, MTU 4). By default, TED listens on port 80. Voltage, Power and Cost can be displayed for each MTU. Total is the net calculaion of all MTU values. If only one MTU is used, Total values (Total Voltage, Total Power, Total Cost) are the same values as MTU1 values.

For single MTU systems, leave the MTU1 box unchecked in the driver configuration settings and use the Total Voltage, Total Power and Total Cost Variables. For sytems with more than one MTU, check MTU boxes when desiring individual MTU feedback and use the appropriate MTU Variables.

A residence with a single electrical service panel that feeds the entire house is an example of an installation that would require only one MTU.

System Variables and Driver Events are available for:

• High Voltage

• Normal Voltage

• Low Voltage

• Real Time kW Usage

• kW Usage Today

Use the threshold settings in the driver configuration to control these events and variables.
