If numbers are not appearing on your screen after 2 minutes, go to section 11,
Troubleshooting and Q&A.
Now, you can go indoors and, referring to your electric bill, program your billing
rates into the Digital Display.
If there is a problem, please read the Troubleshooting section in this Instruction Manual.
05 DETERMINE BILLING MODE AND BILLING RAT E
In order to display the cost of your electricity, you need to program the Digital Display with
information from your electricity bill.
There are three ways you may be billed for electricity:
• Flat Rate. See example on page 1 8
You are charged the same amount per kilowatt-hour (kWh) no matter how much you
use or what time of day you use it.
• Tiered Rates. See example on page 2 0
You are charged one rate for an initial number of kilowatt-hours, then a higher rate if
you exceed that threshold. There may be several thresholds.
• Time-of-Use Rates. See example on page 2 3
You are charged a different rate depending on the time of day. There may be two rates
(on-peak and off-peak) or three rates (on-peak, mid-peak, and off-peak).
Get a recent electric bill and determine how you are charged.
Then, go to the appropriate page and fill out the form with
your billing information. This will make it easier to program your
Power Monitor.
