DISPLAY MODES

There are 2 display modes to choose from:
COST
UP / DOWN
ENERGY

COST RATE

To determine the approximate cost of electricity
consumption, input the cost per KWh.
To set cost rate:
1. Press and hold SET.
2. Press UP / DOWN to change values of the setting.
3. Press SET to confirm and move to the next digit.
NOTE Each utility company sets a different tariff for
electricity consumption. This rate can usually be found
on the electricity bill.
Real time cost
TIP Certain utility companies use a tiered cost of
of electricity
electricity, whereby the rate increases after consumption
per hour
exceeds a specified amount. It is recommended that
an average value is entered as the cost rate.
I.e., Total usage is 1000KWh (500 + 500) which can
Accumulated
be separated as:
cost since last
500 KWh at 15p = £75
reset
500 KWh at 10p = £50
Then, £125 / 1000KWh = 12.5p
Real time
Similarly, some utility companies use different tariffs for
power (KW)
usage at different times of the day. It is recommended
that an average value is entered as the cost rate.
I.e., Total usage is 3000KWh (1000KWh for day rate +
2000 for night rate) which can be separated as:
Accumulated
energy (KWh)
1000 KWh at 15p = £150
consumed
2000 KWh at 5p = £100
since last reset
Then, £250 / 3000 KWh = 8.3p

POWER SAVE

By decreasing the frequency data is received from
every 6 seconds to every 60 seconds, battery life is
extended.
