Description of terminals
Power supply and voltage measurement (top row of terminals)
L1 L1 phase
L2 L2 phase
L3 L3 phase
N neutral wire
Connecting the phase wire to the N terminal may
damage the device.
Measuring transformers (bottom row of terminals)
Terminals intended only for connecting current trans-
formers supplied with the meter. Connecting trans-
formers with a higher secondary-side current may
damage the device.
Direct connection of a voltage source (especially mains
voltage) to the terminals of the transformer may
damage the meter.
I1 - k1 L1 phase transformer
I2 - k2 L2 phase transformer
I3 - k3 L3 phase transformer

Miniature, open-ended current transformers are supplied with
the unit. No interference with the current leads is required to clip
them onto the measured leads, but special attention must be paid
to the way the lead is passed through the transformer and to the
connection of the secondary side of the transformer to the device.
The correct method of installation is shown in the figure below:

After connecting the device to the power supply, it is recommen-
ded to personalize the device. Personalization is the process of
assigning passwords to access the device and setting up a con-
nection to the home Wi-Fi network and (optionally) remote ac-
cess to the device via the F&F cloud.
Configuration of remote access is necessary to record
measurement results.
Do not leave the device switched on without performing
the personalization. There is a risk that another user of
the Fox application will gain access to your device. If you
lose access to your Fox device, follow the procedure de-
scribed in Restore factory settings section.
For a detailed description of how to use the Fox appli-
cation, see the context-sensitive help for the application
(available under the "i" key in the mobile application) or
go to www.fif.com.pl/fox/energy3.
1.Start the Fox application.
2.Open the program menu ( symbol in the upper left corner
of the screen) and select the Start command.
3.In the system selection window, press the wireless system icon
and follow the directions in the following screens:

–Remote access
Remote access configuration is necessary when you need
to be able to access and control your Fox devices from
outside your home when your phone app and Fox modu-
les are not connected to the same local network. If you
do not have a remote access account, create one by pres-
sing Create Account button and following the instructions
displayed by the application. If you are adding an existing
account to the application, you need to enter its parame-
ters into the application: email address used to create an
account in the cloud and a password to access the cloud
and add more devices. In the first field (Name), enter the
name under which the account will be displayed in the
application. After entering the data, press the Add button.
Adding an account is a one-time action. The created ac-
count is visible in the list at the bottom of the screen and
can be used to personalize subsequent devices. In this
case, you can skip the Remote Access screen by pressing
the Next button.
Remote access can be set independently for each device
in a further customization step. Lack of remote access
does not block the functionality of the device, it can still
be accessed within the local Wi-Fi network.

–Password manager
Each Fox device allows you to enter two passwords: an
administrator who has full configuration and device con-
trol rights, and a user who can control devices but without
access to configuration settings.
First, add passwords to the password manager. One or
two predefined passwords are then substituted for the
personalized controllers. To add a new password to the
password manager, you must:
›In the Enter name field enter a description of the
password under which it will be visible on the device
manager list (such as Home administrator, living room
user),
›In the Enter password field, enter the content of the
password,
›Press the Add button.
The password is the key to access the device. Devices
can be grouped using the same passwords, and permis-
sions to these groups can be delegated in the form of an
assigned access password. This way, by deciding which
passwords go to which users, you can freely manage
access to devices.
For more information on the role of passwords and their
use in user management, go to: www.fif.com.pl/fox.
To remove user rights to a selected device, change the
access passwords on it.

Deleting a password from the Password Manager will
lose access to all devices using the deleted password.
–Search
Based on the previously entered information (remote ac-
cess and password list), the application will start searching
for devices.
Before you start searching, you need to enable the Blu-
etooth function on your phone and agree to access the
location. This will allow you to directly search for nearby
Fox devices.
The app searches for:
›available devices nearby that are in factory mode;
›devices available on your local network or connected
to cloud accounts for which passwords were previously
entered into Password Manager.
The gray icon and gray device description indicate de-
vices detected nearby via a Bluetooth connection. To
add such a device click on the Bluetooth icon on the
right side of the description and wait for the connection
to be established. Once the connection is established,
the icon and description turn white.
