Calibration
The calibration factor is an advanced
setting that adjusts the accuracy with which
consumption is measured. The default is 1.00.
If you think the accuracy could be improved
do the following:
1.
Take a meter reading including decimal
places from your electricity meter at a
time when there is not much load. Then
go to your display, press to select [THIS
WEEK] and the centre button to select
kWh. Note down the lower numbers:
e.g. meter reading 00324.50; Solo ll
reading 1.500kWh
2.
(Please note, all figures to two decimal
places) Continue to use your household
appliances as normal for at least 24
hours. The longer you wait before
making a comparison the better the
results. Try not to go past the end of the
week (Sunday according to the display)
as this might throw the calculations off.
3.
Take another reading from your
electricity meter when there is not much
load. Also note down the [THIS WEEK]
reading on your Solo II: e.g. meter
reading: 00342.50; Solo II: 20.150kWh.
4.
Work out the difference between
your
electricity
to get your meter consumption:
e.g. 342.50 – 324.50 = 18.0
5.
Work out the difference between
your Solo II [THIS WEEK] readings
to get your Solo II consumption:
e.g. 20.150 – 1.500 = 18.600
6.
Compare the two readings and work
out the calibration or correction factor
as follows: meter consumption / Solo II
consumption = calibration factor. Using
this example: meter consumption (18.0)
/ Solo II consumption (18.6) = 0.97
Solo II CT: Consumption
meter
readings
7.
Round up the calibration factor to two
decimal places as above and enter this in
the [CALIBRATION] in the [ADVANCED]
settings menu.
