Ohm Installation Guide | Installation Checklist
Installation Checklist
Please ensure all materials, components, and
accessories are ready prior to an installation.
This checklist will help you plan your install.
Completed Site Survey (Project Scope)
Prior to installation, a Site Survey should be completed
by the Service Provider. The survey will inform you
what hardware goes where at the installation site.
If you do not have a completed Site Survey or have
questions contact support@buddy.com please have
Customer and Building names ready when calling.
Service Provider has been informed
of the installation schedule
Service Provider should be informed of the installation
schedule at least 48 hours in advance so they can ensure
an installation support representative will be available.
Ohms, antennas, Mini UPS 5V power
adapters, and mounting plates
If there is no metal surface to mount the Ohm unit, nd a
suitable location with access to a nearby outlet and install
the metal mounting plate. If any CT clips will be attached to
the Ohm, it will also need to be near the electrical panel.
Ohm Links, antennas,
and power adapters
Each Ohm Link should have a 9V AC-AC and 5V DC
adapters for reading voltage. 5V is necessary and 9V
is optional for real power (high accuracy). If the Link
will run on batteries in a single-phase installation,
have (3) AA lithium Ion batteries per Link.
Ohm Senses
You will need: Mounting tape or Velcro tape and
AA batteries. (2 batteries per Ohm Sense unit).
Installation tools
You may need a drill, drill bits, mounting screws, wire
cutters, zip ties, cable straps, screw drivers, spare
breakers, etc., to properly install Buddy Ohm.
Electrical outlet parts
If a new outlet needs to be installed, be sure
to have all the necessary components like a
junction box, outlet, faceplate, and wires.
The Hardware
Buddy Ohm - The main base unit which other
devices communicate with. Buddy Ohm connects
via cellular network to Buddy Cloud.
Ohm Link - This device monitors electricity
and communicates back to Buddy Ohm over
radio frequency (433 Mhz). Ohm Links have
more input ports than Buddy Ohm units.
Ohm Sense - This sensor wirelessly measures
temperature and humidity and communicates with
Buddy Ohm over radio frequency (433 Mhz).
Ohm Pulse - Pulse sensor used for monitoring water,
gas and steam. This device communicates with
Buddy Ohm and Ohm Link units via RJ45 cable, but
can also be wired to an Ohm Sense unit as well.
Ohm View - This device displays a
public-facing dashboard onto a TV or
monitor using HDMI connection.
