# Installing Ampere sensor

Install the sensor by attaching the split core over the conductor to be measured. P2 marking on CT should point towards the load. **Note that only one conductor (phase) is to be placed in the split core.**

**Sensors purchased before July 2022 will need to be configered as a Digitizer in the app. See instructions below.**

After installing and [adding](https://support.el-watch.com/v1/docs/add-sensor) the sensor in your system, you need to configure the sensor in the app to get correct readings.

## Edit sensor

From the sensor details page click "Edit sensor" to change sensor settings.

Under Advanced settings the input and output of the sensor needs to be set.

- Activate the Custom config under Digitizer config.
- All [Neuron Ampere](/v1/docs/ampere) deliver 0-10V output. Therefore set In min to 0 and In max to 10.
- The output setting is dependent on the range of the sensor. If you have a 50A sensor set Out Min 0 and Out Max to 50.
- Last set the Unit to A.
- Press Save and the sensors value and graph will update when a new sample is received.
