Solight DT27 User Manual

EN User's manual for the Solight DT27 power meter

Introduction

This device records electrical energy consumption and can calculate its cost. It must not be overloaded, otherwise it may be
destroyed. It is to be used indoors only, in a dry environment. Outdoor use is prohibited! Always comply with the instructions and
data provided on the ID plate of the connected appliance. Using the device in any other way than the way described, may lead to
its destruction and can be associated with risks like shorts, fires, electric shock, etc. The device may not be customized or modified.

Technical Parameters

 voltage: AC 230 VAC/50 Hz
 max. load: 3680 W/16 A
 measurement range: 0,1 W-3680 W
 measurement error: ± 2 %
The device is equipped with a built-in battery to preserve the measured values.

Total Consumption Time

Once the device detects a load of 2 W or higher, the timer is activated. The timer stops tracking time once the load is disconnected
from the power meter and it is re-initiated again, as soon as the load is reconnected. The total consumption time is displayed in the
third line of the LCD display. The first two digits indicate minutes, the second two digits indicate seconds (MM:SS). After 60 minutes
have passed, display units change. The time 00:00 is displayed and the first two digits now indicate hours and the second two
digits indicate minutes (HH:MM). Correspondingly, the units change after 24 hours have passed, with the first position indicating
days and the second position indicating hours (DD:HH).

Cost Settings

Hold the "SET" button for three seconds. Most of the data displayed disappears and the value being set starts blinking. The (€)
symbol represents a general currency. The "SET" button toggles the selected digits and pressing the "UP" button changes their
values. After setting the cost for one kWh, confirm by pressing the "COST" button. The device is now prepared to calculate costs in
single rate mode. Unless any activity is detected within 10s the power meter reverts to standard operating mode.

Reset

If abnormal values of the parameters measured are being displayed, or if buttons stop responding to commands, restart the device
by holding the reset button. All data will be reset and the device is ready for measurement again.

Indication during Overload

If the total power drawn exceeds the maximum allowable limit of 3680 W, the display starts blinking, notifying the user about the
situation.

Displaying Cost

Starting at the initial screen, by pressing the "COST" button, you can display information in the following order:
energy consumed (kWh)->total cost -> CO
Note: 1 kWh corresponds to 0,998 kg CO
 Total electrical energy consumption measurement range: 0,000 kWh –
9999 kWh
 Total cost range: 0,00 - 9999 €
 Total CO
2
emission range: 0,00-9999 Kg
 Total time: 0-9999 days
 1 kWh price setting range: 00,00 €/kWh – 99,99 €/kWh

Displaying Electrical Parameters

Electrical parameters are displayed in the top part of the display. The "ENERGY" button toggles between individual electrical
network parameters in the following order: electrical energy consumption (W)->voltage value (V)-> current electrical current (A)-
>frequency (Hz) -> power factor (-).

Safety Instructions

The producer is not responsible for any damage to property or health caused by improper handling or failure to follow the safety
instructions! Any and all warranty claims will be considered invalid in any such cases.

Please check that the earth pin is undamaged – its disconnection could result in lethal risks if the device malfunctions.

This device is not a toy and should not be handled by children.

The device may only be connected to tested and protected 220-250V alternating current contacts, at a frequency of 50 Hz
(16 A).

The load connected may not exceed 3680 W/16 A

The recommended operating temperature range is between 0 and +50 °C (32 and 122 °F). Higher temperatures, in particular
when measuring higher loads, may cause overheating and permanent damage to the device.

Do not use the device in environments with prevailing high temperatures or in environments with flammable gases, vapors or
dust.

For safety reasons, never operate the device in wet or damp environments.

For cleaning and maintenance, the device must be disconnected from all voltage sources. The device contains capacitors,
which stay loaded even when the device is disconnected from all voltage sources.

When the measurement device is used in training facilities, hobby clubs and DIY workshops, its operation must be under the

Operating Conditions
