Operation - BASETech COST CONTROL 3000 Operating Instructions Manual

Start-up
a) Inserting/Replacing the Batteries
Before using for the first time or when the display does not show any values after pressing the
button, the coin cell batteries must be inserted or replaced.
The batteries are used to ensure that the set parameters and measured values are saved in the
device even when it is unplugged.
The battery compartment (7) must only be opened if the device is unplugged .
Remove the batteries, if you are not going to use the device for a while, to
prevent damage from leaking batteries since even leak proof batteries may
corr ode. Only handle leaking or corroded batteries with suitable protective
gloves. Risk of acid burns.
Do not leave batteries lying around carelessly. They might be swallowed by
children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Make sure that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries
into a fire.
Batteries (non-rechargeable) must not be recharged. There is danger of explo-
sion.
To insert/replace the batteries proceed as follows:
Disconnect the device from the mains socket and remove all connected cables.
Remove the two rear screws from the battery compartment. Remove the lid carefully.
Insert two new button cells of the same type into thebattery
compartment, paying attention to the correct polarity. The plus
pole of both batteries should points outwards.
Close the battery compartment and screw back in place.
Display
The display is divided into three parts in order to show several parameters simultaneously. The
selection of the parameters for the individual display areas is done with the keys 3, 2 and 9. The
grid symbols on the keys indicate the display area.
Each time you press an individual key, the display is switched to the next parameter.
Key 3 switches the display area on the left top,
Key 2 switches the display area on the right top,
Key 9 shifts the display area on the bottom.
Presetting the tariff and alarm limit for the current and rated power
Some of the parameters in the display on the top right and on the bottom can be set individually.
However, the parameters can only be set one after the other. Make sure only the appropriate
parameter is selected in the display. The setting will be completed, if no button is pushed for
about 10 seconds.
The measuring instrument has options for individually setting the electricity tariffs (cost/kWh)
and alarm limits for the max. current (A) or the max. electrical power. When the set current or
power values are exceeded a signal is emitted.
Setting the electricity tariff „wcost/kWh":
• Press the key „F" (2) repeatedly, until „W" appears in the upper right display.
• Press the key „J" (9) repeatedly, until the display shows „COST/kWh v".
• The „SET" key (8) activates the settings menu. The first digit flashes. If you press the key
again, the decimal place will change.
• With the keys „S" (3) and „F" (2), the value can be changed.
• To complete the setting, press the key „J" (9) or wait for approx. 10s. The setting is com-
pleted.
Setting the alarm limit for max. current and max. rated power:
• Press the key „J" (9) repeatedly, until the lower display shows „TOTAL kWh".
• Press the key „F" (2) repeatedly, until the display shows „OVERLOAD".
• The „SET" key (8) activates the settings menu. The last set unit (W or A) flashes.
• With the keys „S" (3) and „F" (2) the unit can be changed.
• „W" corresponds to the effective power in Watt
• „A" corresponds to the current in ampere.
• The „SET" key (8) confirms the selection and switches to the next digit input. The first digit
flashes. If you press the key again, the decimal place will change.
• With the keys „S" (3) and „F" (2), the value can be changed.
• To complete the setting, press the key „J" (9) or wait for approx. 10s. The setting is com-
pleted.

Operation

Plug the energy cost measuring instrument into a domestic wall socket with earth protection
and 230 V AC voltage.
Make sure that the electric device you wish to measure is switched off. Connect the mains plug
of the electrical device to the earthed socket (1).
Switch on the electric device and wait a few seconds until the measuring instrument shows the
first measured data.
The following displays can be switched between using the control keys:

The key „S" (3) switches the functions in the upper left display. Every time you press the key,
you switch the display.

In order to display the cost estimates, the electricity tariff must be set and the meter must
complete a 24 h reading. The data is updated every 24 h. If these requirements are not met,
0 is shown. 99999 is the maximum value that can be displayed. When this value is exceeded,
the display shows "OUL" (overflow).
Resetting the cost estimates:
Unplug the meter from the power point, and then remove the batteries. The data for the cost
estimates is erased. Insert the batteries again and carefully close the battery compartment.
The MAX values can be cleared in the relevant display by pressing the „SET" key (8) for ap-
prox. 3s. A short beep confirms the deletion process.
Display on the bottom
The key „J" (9) switches the functions of the lower display. Every time you press the key, you
switch the display.

The total operating time can be deleted in the displayed function "TOTAL TIME". To do this,
set the display on the top right (6) to "A" and press the key "SET" (8) and hold it for approx.
3 seconds. A short beep will confirm the deletion process.
If the product is overloaded, it may be damaged. The warranty/guarantee will
become void in these cases.
Do not plug together several energy cost measuring instruments.
The device is not approved for use in areas where there is a risk of explosions.
Avoid areas with strong magnetic fields (motors etc.).
Avoid blows or strong vibrations, as well as the use in direct sunlight.
