The power usage meter calculates the cost of power usage by most electronic devices which plug into a 120 volt AC outlet.

Cost is determined by the rate per Kilowatt hour (kWh) charged by your local electric company. Call your electric company for rates, or check your most recent statement.

NOTE: The cost of operation is only calculated after the rate per kilowatt hour is programmed.

This product displays Amps, Kilowatt Hours, Watts, cost of operation, and the total price for the time period the device was connected.

Before first use, remove the plastic strip from the battery compartment on the back of unit.
Press and hold the Enter button (C) until the time display flashes.
- The default setting is a 12 hour clock.
To set hours and minutes, press the Clock/timer button (A) or Center button (B).
Press Enter button (C) again to set the price per kilowatt hour (max. 0.99). Press the Clock/ timer and Center buttons (A) or (B) to change the amount in cents.
When you have input the time and price per kilowatt hour, press and hold the Enter button (C) until the display stops flashing.
Plug the power usage meter into a standard, grounded wall outlet or UL/ETL approved, grounded 15 Amp capable extension cord.
Plug the device you wish to monitor into the power usage meter.
When the device is plugged into the power usage meter, it will begin displaying power used in Watts. This is the default setting.
- To toggle the display between Kilowatt hours, Amps, and Watts, press the Center button (B).
- Press to change to a 24-hour clock.
- Press again to change to the duration of time the device has been connected to the meter.

The display shows minutes from 1-59, then shows the time in hours. At 24 hours, the meter switches to time displayed in days.

To display the cost per kilowatt hour, press the Enter button (C).
- To toggle between Cost Per Day, Cost Per Week, Cost Per Month, Cost Per Year, and Total Cost calculated so far, press the Center button (B).
The meter will continue to calculate cost until the device is unplugged. The information on the display will remain in memory until the meter is reset.
To reset the power usage meter, press the Clock/ timer and Enter buttons (A) and (C) at the same time, until the display shows all zeros.
NOTE: If you do not reset the meter to clear the memory, it will retain the most recent reading and add it to the next one.
The meter goes into Automatic Off mode after two minutes of inactivity. Pressing any button will bring the display back up.

OVERLOAD WARNING

If the electrical current going through the power usage meter exceeds 15 Amps, the overload indicator light (D) will come on. If this occurs, the power usage meter should not be used, and the device you are attempting to measure should be powered down and disconnected from the meter.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

The power usage meter uses two (2) LR44 button cell batteries to retain readings in memory.
Estimated battery life is 4-6 months.
To replace the batteries:

Push on the two latches of the battery cover to remove it.
Remove the depleted batteries.
Install two new batteries as shown and push the cover back into place until it clicks to close.
