A big thank you for taking the decision to reduce your energy use. The planet
needs more people like you. If we all do our bit to stop wasting electricity we
can signicant reduce our carbon footprint.
The beauty of the EnviR is that it shows you how much energy you are using right now.
It also shows you how much your electricity is costing every day and every month.
The EnviR will allow you to take control of your energy use and SAVE Money while helping
reduce your carbon footprint.
The EnviR uses clamps that detect a tiny magnetic eld that is created as current moves through
power cables. The greater your energy use, the greater the magnetic signature. The clamps are
connected to a transmitter that sends a signal wirelessly to the display every 10.0649 seconds. The
display calculates the data and shows you how much energy you are using in real time. It also stores
your historical energy usage. Data can be exported to your computer and various software programs
can graph your usage various ways.
The EnviR monitor is not a substitute for utility supplied electric meters. The EnviR is an informational
tool only. Utility electric meters monitor usage full time and are therefore more accurate.
We recommend that you install the display in your kitchen or other area where you can check the
display regularly. Over time you will learn more about your energy use pattern and will know when it is
higher than normal. As you leave your home or go to bed, a quick glance will conrm that you are not
wasting energy.
This device is designed to provide years of maintenance free energy usage information. Since the
device monitors whole home energy usage measured through the incoming main electricity feed
cables, the installer must have some knowledge of electricity including working on or around wires
and power panels. The EnviR monitor does not require you to carry out any electrical wiring.
Similarly, if
you notice anything unusual about your electricity supply, such as loose wires, exposed cabling, burn
marks or holes in the insulating materials, damage to your meter, then stop immediately and consult
an electrician or your energy supplier.
