BEFORE YOU START

Please locate and check that you have a spare LAN port available on the back of your broadband Internet router. You will need to plug in the supplied Ethernet cable. If all of the ports are in use, you can add more connections by purchasing an Ethernet

Switch / Hub.

You will also need a spare mains socket available close by for the supplied Plug top mains PSU.

STEP THREE - Pair Transmitter to the Network OWL

•

•

Press the small “Check” button in the Transmitter battery compartment for a minimum of 10 seconds and release.

This will enter Pairing Mode and the red LED on the front of the Transmitter will start flashing every 2 seconds (for 30 seconds).

•

The blue LED on the Network OWL staying on for

2 seconds indicates successful pairing. The LED’s will then flash intermittently.

Replace battery compartment cover.

PRESS CHECK BUTTON

STEP FOUR - Connect Network OWL to the Internet

• Plug the Ethernet cable into the base of the Network

OWL and a spare LAN port on your existing broadband Internet router.

• Ensure the connector latches with an audible “click” at both ends and that there is activity on the green

& yellow LED’s above the Ethernet connector.

PLUG IN ETHERNET CABLE

STEP FIVE - Wait for 2 minutes

You must wait for a minimum of two minutes for the Network OWL to securely connect to the OWL Intuition servers before progressing to the next step.

STEP SEVEN - Log in to your OWL Intuition account

You can now log in to your OWL Intuition account with your new username and password at: https://www.owlintuition.com

Please see Web Browser Interface section below for details on how to use the OWL Intuition web interface.

Note: As you have yet to position & install the Transmitter and Sensor the energy displays will show zero values for now. They will automatically start showing your energy consumption as you complete the process.

STEP EIGHT - Install Transmitter and attach Sensors

• Locate the supply cables between your electricity meter and mains distribution board (fuse box). See diagram below.

•

•

Using the latch, clamp the 3 Sensors around the insulated Live cables going into the meter as per the table in the diagram – Live cables either side of meter is acceptable.

The Sensors must be a loose fit onto the cables.

•

Plug the Sensors into the associated Transmitter socket.

The Transmitter should be hung on the wall in a free area as far from large metal objects as possible.

STEP NINE - Position Network OWL for good wireless coverage

The Network OWL should ideally be hung on the wall in a free area as far from large metal objects as possible. Position the antenna in a vertical orientation.

Note: Ensure so far as possible that there are no large metal objects in the radio (direct) path between installed locations of the Network OWL and the

Transmitter. The wireless range is up to 30 metres (free space). Walls and large objects will reduce this range.

Your OWL Intuition-e system is now set up and ready to help save energy,

CO2 emissions and money.

Please check out the other products in our OWL Intuition range such as heating controls that share your Network OWL.

TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS

Pairing Tips

•

•

Check that the blue LED on the Network OWL flashes every 12 seconds if the monitored electricity supply consumption is varying, or every 60 seconds when at a steady state.

If the blue LED does not flash then the Transmitter signal is not being received. Try relocating the Transmitter and/or the Network OWL.

• For wireless range testing you can make the Transmitter send its signal every 2 seconds (for 30 seconds) by pressing the “Check” button in the battery compartment for 10 seconds. The red LED flashes with each transmission.

Account Set Up Tips

• The Network OWL ID is a 12 character code that can be found on the underside label and starts 443719……

Enter just the first part of your postcode eg. For RG24 9LR just enter RG24.

•

• Check the Network OWL is able to connect to the Internet. Check power and Ethernet cables are securely located and that normal Internet access is available through your web browser.

Other Tips

•

•

If you wish to use a 3-channel transmitter for Intuition-e then ensure the

Sensor is plugged into the left hand socket.

Ethernet LED’s have the following meanings: Green – link ok / up; Yellow

– data activity.
