Page 5: Before You Get Started
Before you get started The Siemens Inhab Energy is installed in a home’s electrical panel. The main breaker will need to be set to the off position, which will shut off all of the power in the home. However, the service entrance wires to the load center will remain energized and dangerous. -
Page 6: What's In The Box
What’s in the box The Siemens Inhab Energy contains the following items. If any of these items are missing or if you believe they’ve been damaged, contact support immediately. Inhab Energy monitor 2 Main 200A CTs with 22 AWG wire and... - Page 7 Energy monitor connections The energy monitor is the hub of the Siemens Inhab Energy. The screw terminalport for the wiring harness is located on the left-hand side of the monitor. The screw terminal ports across the top of the monitor are the inputs for the 50A Branch Current Transformers (CTs) (the bundle may have come with 8 or 16 CTs, or none at all).
- Page 8 Once the app is downloaded, you’ll be prompted to create an account if you don’t have one. Also, if you plan to connect the Inhab Energy to the internet via Wi-Fi, this is a great time to use a phone to check the signal strength of the Wi-Fi network next to the electrical panel in the home.

- Page 11 Step 4: Prepare for Internet connection The Inhab Energy is capable of connecting to the internet either via a wired LAN connection, a Wi-Fi connection, or both. If both are implemented, the Inhab Energy will prioritize wired LAN. If a wired LAN is unavailable, the Inhab Energy will attempt to connect over Wi-Fi.

- Page 13 Step 4(b): Prepare for Wi-Fi connection This step is to prepare for a wireless internet connection. To connect to the internet via wired LAN, see Step 4(a). Use a screwdriver to remove a knockout from the electrical panel. Now, feed the antenna through the hole. Then, screw the antenna assembly cable to the right-hand side of the energy monitor in the coaxial connector marked .

- Page 21 Step 7(a): Two empty breakers and two Main CTs Common in split phase homes Secure the White (N) and Blue (L3) wires from the wire harness to the neutral bus bar. Turn off two vertically adjacent (stacked) single pole breakers and secure the Black (L1) and Red (L2) wires from the harness to each of the hot leads from each breaker.
- Page 22 Step 7(b): No empty breaker and two Main CTs Common in split phase homes Secure the White (N) and Blue (L3) wires from the wire harness to the neutral bus bar. Turn off two vertically adjacent (stacked) 15A single pole breakers and remove their wires.
- Page 23 Step 7(c): Three empty breakers and three Main CTs Common in 3-phase commercial systems Secure the White (N) wire from the wire harness to the neutral bus bar. Turn off three vertically adjacent (stacked) single pole breakers and secure the Black (L1), Red (L2), and Blue (L3) wires from the harness to each of the hot leads from each breaker.
- Page 24 Step 7(d): No empty breaker and three Main CTs Common in 3-phase commercial systems Secure the White (N) wire from the wire harness to the neutral bus bar. Turn off three vertically adjacent (stacked) 15A single pole breakers and remove their wires. Connect one of the breaker wires to the Black (L1) harness wire and a splicing wire with a wire nut.
- Page 25 Branch current transformers If the Inhab Energy has Branch CTs, open the clasps on the CTs and place each clamp around the non-neutral leg from the breaker that is to be monitored. Then shut the clasps to secure the CTs. Then, insert the screw terminal plugs into the ports on the top of the energy monitor.
- Page 26 Step 8 (continued): A note about multi-pole breakers If 2- or 3-pole breakers are to be monitored, we recommended that one CT be used for on each pole; however, to conserve the number of CTs, a single CT can be used. To use a single CT, clasp the clamp around either one of the non-neutral leads coming off the breaker (it doesn’t matter which).
- Page 27 Step 8 (continued): A note about solar monitoring For the Inhab Energy to be able to calculate how much energy from the system is going to and from the grid, Branch CTs will need to be connected to the incoming leads from the inverter regardless of whether the solar is a breaker-fed or a line-side tap installation.
