Transcript

Your Augos quote starts with a few photos, taken by your own team. About ten minutes at the board.

What you need

You need a phone, a qualified person at the board, and your latest electricity bill, if you have one.

Safety first

The person at the board must be qualified and authorised. Nothing is measured on live parts. If anything looks burnt, wet or damaged, stop.

The site

Name the site and pick the address. The GPS pin is taken for you.

The breaker

Type the breaker rating, then photograph its label, sharp and square, with the rating in the frame.

The CTs

Tell the app what the CT will clamp: a cable, a busbar, or several tails. Photograph the conductors, so the CT window fits.

Existing CTs

Already have CTs? Photograph their rating plate instead, with the ratio clear.

Where the meter goes

Show where the meter goes: on the DIN rail, or in an enclosure.

Signal at the board

Then check the signal where the meter goes, with Wi-Fi off. Pick the bars and the network. The app also runs a quick data test. No service, or one bar? We add an external antenna to the kit.

The bill

Add one photo of your latest bill. It helps us price the right tariff.

Send

Add a point for every meter position, then send. No signal? It is saved, and sends when you are back in coverage. Your quote follows on business days. Start yours at augos.co.za.
