SAFETY WARNING
TED SPYDER is a low voltage device. However, as the Spyder is
installed in the service panel, only qualifed electrical professionals
or persons trained in the electrical hazards associated with electrical
installations should proceed with installation.
Tools needed: screwdriver, fashlight, double-sided tape for attaching
to panel (if allowed by Code in your area)
Installation Procedure
Safety warning: Turn the main breaker OFF
1. Remove power from the MTU by disconnecting grey power
cable.
2. Connect either end of the data cable from the data port on the
MTU, to the port marked SPY IN on the Spyder.
3. Choose the circuit to be monitored.
4. Note the amperage of the circuit breaker and verify Spyder CT
has a rating equal-to-or-greater than the circuit being measured.
5. Turn off the breaker for the circuit to be measured.
6. Loosen screw and remove wire from circuit breaker.
7. Slide CT onto wire. Orientation of CT does not matter.
8. Reinsert wire into breaker and tighten screw.
9. (IMPORTANT) Determine the type load to be measured.
a. In the case of 2-phase or 3-phase loads that are not balanced,
you will need to install a CT over each power wire. For example:
a subpanel. You would need to install one CT over each phase
wire.
b. In the case of a balanced load, (for example: a motor or
heater), you can simply install one CT over any of the power
wires and apply a multiplier of 2 or 3 (select 3 if 3-phase)
in the Footprints Spyder setup.
c. On a 2-3 pole breaker, do not place multiple conductors
through 1 CT.
10. Repeat for all circuits to be measured.
11. Connect each CT to a Spyder Input. Note the Input labels on
the following page.

(You may connect up to 2 Spyders to each MTU)
a. Connect second data cable from SPY OUT of frst
Spyder to SPY IN of second Spyder.
b. Repeat the steps above for connecting the CTs from the
circuits to the second Spyder.
12. Verify power cable and data cables are securely connected
to MTU and Spyder.
13. Turn all power back on.
NOTE 1. You dont have to use all 8 CTs.
NOTE 2. The Spyder Software will allow you to add Spyder CT inputs together
to get a total. For example, if you want to add your HVAC compressor-circuit
with the Air Handler-circuit to get a total for your HVAC system, you can. This
will be done during Spyder Setup in Footprints.

ples of applications, as well as instructions on confguring the Spy-
der in Footprints software go to:
