Features and Specifications
The R5090 is an easy-to-use power meter that accurately measures power
consumption of household appliances. Simply set the local utility rate in Kilowatt-
hours (KwH) and connect an appliance to start tracking cost. The R5090 can be
used to verify power quality by monitoring voltage, frequency and power factor.
• Calculates the operating costs of household appliances
• Displays 8 important units of measure (voltage, current, watts,
frequency, power factor, energy used (kWh), total cost and elapsed time)
• Over-current warning function
• Easy-to-read, dual LCD display
• Built-in battery backup
• Conforms to UL and CSA standards

Instruction Manual
Setting the CO
Cost Function
2
The production of energy releases greenhouse gases (among others carbon
dioxide CO
), which places a burden on the environment. With this device, you
2
are able to determine how much CO
measured kWh value. There are different CO
type of energy. The CO
equivalent indicates how much of a defined
2
quantity of a greenhouse gas contributes to the greenhouse effect. Carbon
dioxide serves as a comparison value.
The factor for the CO
equivalents is entered in the device
2
in kg/kWh and displayed accordingly in kg/kWh. You can
