An overview of how to set up the Automatic Load Management (ALM) and the Current Transformer (CT1).
How to install CT clamp and configure the ALM Settings?
1. Place CT(1) on the incoming live tail of the property, with the arrow pointing in the direction of the electrical load. Here it will measure the total supply load.
2. Extend the CT cables as needed. To extend the CT clamp wires back to the Hypervolt, use a Cat5 pair. Note that the CT cables can be extended by a maximum of 50m.
For users preferring an Ethernet connection over WiFi, installers can utilise the Orange/Orange-White and Green/Green-White pairs when connecting to the internal RJ45 port.
3. Connect the CT to the internal 2-pole signal connector (green CT connector) found within the Hypervolt (see image below for reference). The clamp is bidirectional so make sure the polarity is correct: the white cable should connect to the left-hand side terminal connector and the black cable to the right-hand side.
The dial can be adjusted to set the limit at which the load manager activates. The diagram below shows what part of the dial is the pointer, in this case pointing to position 5.
4. Locate the rotary switch. It is situated adjacent to the CT connector you have plugged the CT into. The ALM dial can be adjusted to set the activation limit. In the diagram below, the pointer is shown pointing to position 5.
5. Use the following table to select the switch position if there are different requirements for the installation.
| Switch Setting | CT installed | ALM enabled | Fuse Rating |
| 0 | No | No | n/a |
| 1 | Yes | No | n/a |
| 2 | Yes | Yes | 10A |
| 3 | Yes | Yes | 16A |
| 4 | Yes | Yes | 32A |
| 5 | Yes | Yes | 40A |
| 6 | Yes | Yes | 60A |
| 7 | Yes | Yes | 80A |
| 8 | Yes | Yes | 100A |
| 9 | Yes | Yes | 120A |
Setting (1) is used to indicate that a CT is installed but ALM is not required. When this setting is selected, the Hypervolt will know a CT is connected and record the CT power and energy measurements.
