- Monitoraggio in tempo reale: Allows users to monitor electricity usage and costs in real-time when connected to a compatible Eyedro monitor.
- Compatibilità: Specifically designed for use with Eyedro Home and Business Wireless Electricity Monitors.
- Monitoraggio dei dati: Measures, analyzes, and securely stores electricity usage and cost information via the MyEyedro cloud service.
- High-Resolution Data: Provides 24/7 usage history with responsive real-time graphs, offering hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly consumption and cost estimates.
- Progettazione Split-Core: Facilitates easy installation around existing electrical wires without requiring disconnection.
Figure 1: Eyedro 5A Current Sensor. This image displays the Eyedro 5A Current Sensor. It features a compact black split-core sensor body, designed to clamp around an electrical wire. A long cable, composed of twisted black and white wires, extends from the sensor and terminates in a standard DC power plug, which connects to a compatible Eyedro electricity monitor.
2. Informazioni sulla sicurezza
Please read and understand all safety instructions before installing or operating the Eyedro 5A Current Sensor. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Personale qualificato: L'installazione deve essere eseguita esclusivamente da un elettricista qualificato o da un professionista qualificato.
- Disconnessione dell'alimentazione: Always disconnect power to the electrical panel or junction box before installing or servicing the sensor. Verify that power is off using a voltagetester.

- Corrente nominale: Do not install sensors on conductors exceeding the maximum rated current of the sensor (5A for this model).
- Solo per uso interno: This device is intended for indoor use in dry locations only. Do not expose to moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Installazione sicura: Ensure the sensor is securely clamped around the wire and all connections are tight to prevent accidental dislodgement.
3. Configurazione e installazione
The Eyedro 5A Current Sensor is designed for straightforward installation within your electrical panel or junction box. Ensure you have a compatible Eyedro Home or Business Wireless Electricity Monitor (sold separately) before proceeding.
Strumenti richiesti (non inclusi):
- Voltagetester
- Screwdriver (for panel cover)
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) as required by local electrical codes
Fasi di installazione:
- Prepararsi per l'installazione:
- Locate your electrical panel or junction box where you intend to monitor current.
- Ensure you have sufficient space to safely install the sensor and route its cable.
- Scollegare l'alimentazione:
- CRITICO: Turn off the main breaker to the electrical panel to completely de-energize the system.
- Utilizzare un volumetage tester to confirm that all wires within the panel are de-energized before touching any components.
- Open the Sensor:
- Gently open the split-core current sensor by pressing the release mechanism (if present) or by carefully prying it open.
- Clamp the Sensor:
- Identify the individual line/live/hot wire you wish to monitor.
- Place the open sensor around the chosen wire. Ensure the wire passes through the center of the sensor's core.
- Close the sensor firmly until it clicks shut, ensuring the core is completely closed around the wire.
- IMPORTANTE: Only one wire should pass through each sensor. Do not attempt to clamp around multiple wires or a bundled cable.
- Connect to Eyedro Monitor:
- Route the sensor's cable to your Eyedro Home or Business Wireless Electricity Monitor.
- Plug the DC power plug of the current sensor into the designated sensor input port on your Eyedro monitor. Refer to your Eyedro monitor's manual for specific port locations.
- Secure and Restore Power:
- Carefully close the electrical panel or junction box cover, ensuring no wires are pinched.
- Restore power by turning the main breaker back on.
- Verifica operazione:
- Once power is restored, the Eyedro monitor should detect the newly connected sensor and begin logging data.
- Access your MyEyedro account via a web browser to confirm that real-time data is being received and displayed correctly.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso
The Eyedro 5A Current Sensor operates passively by detecting the magnetic field generated by current flowing through the wire it clamps around. It sends this data to your connected Eyedro monitor, which then transmits it to the MyEyedro cloud service for analysis and display.
Using MyEyedro:
- Dati di accesso: Log in to your MyEyedro account from any standard web navigatore (my.eyedro.com) A view your electricity usage data.
- Grafici in tempo reale: The platform provides responsive real-time graphs showing current electricity consumption.
- Historical Reports: Generate hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly reports to analyze trends and identify peak usage times.
- Cost Estimates: View estimated electricity costs based on your configured rate structures (fixed, tiered, or time-of-use).
- Identify Savings: Use the detailed data to pinpoint appliances or habits contributing to high consumption and make informed decisions to reduce energy waste.
5. Manutenzione
The Eyedro 5A Current Sensor is designed for maintenance-free operation. However, periodic checks can ensure continued optimal performance.
- Ispezione visiva: Periodically inspect the sensor and its cable for any signs of physical damage, wear, or loose connections.
- Pulizia: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the sensor with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Condizioni ambientali: Ensure the installation environment remains dry and within the specified operating temperature range.
