Prerequisites: 

• Required installed hardware:
  • EG4xxx or newer eGauge meter
  • eGauge Sensor Hub (ESH044)
• Only use straight-through RJ11 cables to connect powered sensors to the Sensor Hub. See this article for more information on verifying the correct RJ-11 wiring. Every Sensor Hub compatible sensor sold by eGauge Systems comes with a straight-through RJ-11 cable.
• It is not advisable to extend the RJ11 leads from the Sensor to Sensor Hub. It is acceptable to use a longer RJ45 cable from the Sensor Hub to the eGauge.
• If RJ11 cable between Sensor and Sensor Hub must be extended, it is advisable to use twisted pair wires, such as a CAT5 cable with RJ11 plugs (most commonly used for DSL modems).
• If terminating own cables, both RJ11 and RJ45 cables should be straight-through cables, with the same color order on both ends.

Instructions: 

Step 1: in the location to be monitored, connect the ETLW Sensor to an available RJ11 port on your Sensor Hub using the included RJ11 cable. Be sure to adjust the selector switch on the Sensor hub port to the left and plug the breakout cable2-pin connector with the same color into an available sensor port on your eGauge.

Step 2: Configure the sensor in the eGauge configuration. Please see this article for more information regarding configuration of CTid sensors.

Troubleshooting and Tips

• Issue: My sensor is not scanning
  • Solution: Be sure the Sensor Hub is powered by 5 Vdc and that the selection switch on the port being used is in the Left position.
  • Solution: Make sure the correct color plug from the Sensor Hub breakout cable is being used. Plugs match the same color port on the sensor hub.
