Function Keys LCD Display The Remote Cost Control Receiver (Figure 1) THE REMOTE COST CONTROL MONITOR: 24 Battery Cover Figure 1 Congratulations on purchasing the Remote Cost Control. This is a state-of-the-art power monitoring socket that is highly accurate and easy to use. Please read this instruction manual before putting the Cost Control into operation as it will allow users to gain the optimum benefits of all its features.
Front Socket LED Indicator/ Reset button 25 Figure 2 Plug Cost monitoring. Cost forecasting. Cost saving calculation. Instantaneous power consumption displays in Watt (W). Maximum load power displays in Watt (Max W). Total energy consumption displays in Watt hour (Wh) or kilo Watt hour (kWh). Total power monitor turn on time / total electrical appliance operating time displays (hour). Wireless transmission at 868 MHz. Receive up to 5 power monitors.
It is powered by the AC line (230V 50Hz). Each power monitor has its unique ID. Measure the power consumption of the electrical appliance, which is plugged into the power monitor and then transmits information to the receiver at 868 MHz. Transmits data every 5 seconds. 26 Note: Press the DISPLAY button until COST/MONTH or COST/YEAR is shown in the lower display part.
In % save display, the display shows saved cost per month in percent value. If the current cost/month is bigger than the reference cost/month, a negative percent value will be displayed. In cost save per month display, the display shows the saved cost per month. If the current cost/month is bigger than the reference cost/month, a negative value will be displayed. In cost save per year display, the display shows the saved cost per year.
Power Monitor is approved for use on a 230V / 50Hz mains supply only. Only loads with the same voltages (230V / 50Hz) can be connected. The max. load of any appliances connected must not exceed 3600 Watt (Max. current 16A). Remote Cost Control Monitor is only designed for indoor use within dry environments. Outdoor use is strictly prohibited! Remote Cost Control Monitor may not to be altered or modified in any way.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • 29 When the Power Monitor is plugged into the 230VAC wall socket, make sure no electrical appliance is connected through the Power Monitor socket. If the Power Monitor is removed from the 230VAC wall socket, wait for 30 seconds before putting it back to the 230VAC wall socket. The max. load of 3600 Watts (16A) must not be exceeded. Otherwise, it will destroy the device. The recommended operating temperature is 0°C to +50°C.

Battery compartment Figure 3 30 Battery cover Back of the receiver Please participate in the preservation of the environment and return all used batteries to an authorized depot. To replace the batteries, simply follow these steps: 1. Slide the battery cover downwards and remove. (Figure 3) 2.
Figure 4 31 The monitor should be plugged into the AC line firmly on its back. (Figure 4) When the power monitor starts up normally, the LED indicator of the power monitor lights on for 2 seconds in the beginning.

(Figure 9) The channel Press DISPLAY key long time (around 2 seconds) will display the ID of the power monitor (each power monitor has its unique ID) assigned to this channel. (Figure 8) The ID is displayed as long as the key is pressed.
• • Cost save value per month in % Cost save value per month 34 In COST/ YEAR display mode: the cost save value per year is shown. (Figure 12) Figure 11 In COST/ MONTH display mode: the cost save value per month is shown. (Figure 11) Figure 10 Press and hold SAVE key to display the cost save (only works when the SAVE function is activated, to activate the SAVE function, see the RESET key below). The cost save value is displayed until the key is released.
Cost save value per year Press RESET – CH – RESET to delete a channel. Press RESET – DISPLAY – RESET to reset the current channel data to zero. Also the SAVE function is activated. The deleted data will be used as reference value for the SAVE function. Figure 13 35 The reset mode Note: When the RESET key is pressed, the “RESET” sign will be shown on the LCD. (Figure 13) The sign will off until the RESET key is pressed again or the RESET mode is time out (around 15 seconds).
Press LRN/SCAN key once to collect and update the instantaneous data of the already connected power monitor(s), only “SCAn” will be displayed during the process. Figure 14 The learn mode Press LRN/SCAN key about 2 seconds to start the 6 seconds learning reception to detect new power monitor(s). The “LRN” sign and “SCAn” will be displayed during the process. (Figure 14) Press once more to confirm and store the detected channel.
Press CH / + key to modify the blinking digit. Press TARIFF key to go the next digit. After setting the least significant figure, press TARIFF key again to exit the tariff mode. If exiting the setting mode by timeout, the new set tariff value will not be updated and the old tariff is still be used. Will light on for 2 seconds when the power monitor is started up (just plug into the AC line). Will flash for every transmission (around 5 seconds).
3. 2. 1. Figure 17 38 To start the operation, it is required to connect the Remote Cost Control Receiver and the power monitor. Press LRN/SCAN key of receiver for a long time (around 2 seconds) to start the 6 seconds reception with learning of new channels. LCD shows “LRN” and “SCAn” during the learning process. (Figure 17) Figure 16 Plug the Power Monitor(s) into the AC line. About 3 seconds later, the LED indicator of the Power Monitor will light on for 2 seconds.
7. 6. 5. 4. 39 Press the LRN/SCAN key to confirm this Power Monitor as CH1. Or, press CH / + key to select the channel number, which should be assigned to this power monitor and then press the LRN/SCAN key for confirmation. After the right channel number is found, this Power Monitor can be learned instantly by pressing the LRN/SCAN key. If you don’t want to select the detected Power Monitor you can press the RESET key for ignoring that Power Monitor.
If more than one Power Monitor is detected, then a new ID of the newly detected Power Monitor will be displayed in the LCD. Repeat procedure 6 and 7 for learning another channels. Maximum 5 channels can be learnt. Long press the LRN/SCAN key again to restart at procedure 3 if not all the desired Power Monitors are learnt. After learning reception is over a scanning will be started automatically.
Figure 22 Low battery indicator every hour the receiver automatically checks the battery status. If low battery is detected, the sign will be shown. each time when the “LRN/SCAN” key is pressed, the receiver checks the battery status. If low battery is detected, the sign will be shown. • • • • 41 Check the product for any damages at regular intervals! When cleaning the LCD and casing, use a soft damp cloth only.
