Main Unit Set Up; Sensor Data Transmission; Understanding Electricity - Oregon Scientific ESM100 User Manual

TIP The transmission range may vary depending on
many factors. You may need to experiment with various
locations to get the best results.

MAIN UNIT SET UP

1. Slide open the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarities (+ / -).
3. Press RESET after each battery change.
4. Close the battery door.

SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSION

If main unit does not display data or after each
transmitter battery change:
1. Press and hold CHECK (located in the transmitter)
until LED light flashes. Transmitter will check for
and transmit data to the main unit every 2 seconds
for 30 seconds.
2. Press and hold UP on the main unit to search for
signal from transmitter.

UNDERSTANDING ELECTRICITY

Voltage Electrical potential. Fixed at 220V-
(volts) 250V or 120V depending on region.
Current Amount of electricity flowing through,
(amps) e.g., a wire. (The sensor measures this
to determine watt)
Power Amount of energy being transferred.
(watts) (KW = 1000W). This type of data is
displayed on the top line of Energy
mode.
KWh is a measure of consumption. Kilowatt hour
represents the use of 1000W of electricity for 1 whole
hour, which is equivalent to ten x 100W light bulbs
operating at the same time for 1 hour.
Once cost rate of electricity has been inputted, the
monitor can arrive at an estimated cost.
NOTE This product is for educational purposes only.
Its aim is to aid understanding of the cost of operating
electrical appliances in the home. It does not replace
