For best results:
• Place the sensor within 30 m (100 ft) of the main unit.
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor)
unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls and
furniture.
TIP The transmission range may vary depending on many
factors. You may need to experiment with various locations
to get the best results.
MAIN UNIT SET UP
1. Slide open the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarities (+ / -).
3. Press RESET after each battery change.
4. Close the battery door.
SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSION
If main unit does not display data or after each
transmitter battery change:
1. Press and hold CHECK (located in the transmitter) until
LED light ashes. Transmitter will check for and transmit
data to the main unit every 2 seconds for 30 seconds.
2. Press and hold SEARCH on the main unit to search
signal from transmitter.
The main unit may display incorrect readings or no readings,
possibly due to receiving data from a nearby sensor.
Though it is recommended to use channel 2 (default), user
can manually choose another channel (1 or 3) to attempt
another link up. If a channel, other than 2 has been selected
on the sensor, main unit settings must also be updated (See
“SET COUNTRY” section in this manual for instructions).
UNDERSTANDING ELECTRICITY
Voltage
(volts)
Electrical potential. Fixed at 220V-250V or
120V depending on region.
X
Current
(amps)
Amount of electricity owing through,
e.g., a wire. (The sensor measures this to
determine watt)
=
Power
(watts)
Amount of energy being transferred. (KW =
1000W). This type of data is displayed on
the top line of Energy mode.
KWh is a measure of consumption. Kilowatt hour represents
the use of 1000W of electricity for 1 whole hour, which is
equivalent to ten x 100W light bulbs operating at the same
time for 1 hour.
Once cost rate of electricity has been inputted, the monitor
can arrive at an estimated cost. Each utility company sets
a different tariff for electricity consumption. This rate can
usually be found on the electricity bill.
Fossil fuel power stations produce greenhouse gasses as
a by-product of the production process. These gasses have
been linked to climate change. The amount of greenhouse
gas emitted is different for each utility company. For your
convenience, a default greenhouse emission rate (per
1KWh of electricity produced) has been set on this unit.
However, this rate can be changed if desired.

aim is to aid understanding of the cost of operating electrical
appliances in the home. It does not replace your accurate
electricity revenue meter.
