Operation Manual

This energy meter tracks the price per Kilowatt of the electricity used by the
appliance plugged into the unit. The user must manually enter the price per
Kilowatt charged by their local power company. If only one rate is charged per
Kilowatt, then only one price is required.
However, some power companies charge two electricity rates, one price for
standard use and a different price for peak consumption periods. Therefore, the
energy meter has a function which allows for two separate energy rates and
corresponding time periods to be entered. For example, if the hours between
5pm to 7pm are considered a peak period of energy consumption, then the
peak rate should be set at the peak rate price beginning at 5pm while the
regular price begins at 7pm.
In PRICE mode, the price per Kilowatt hour is displayed and set. The price
per /KWh may range from $0.001/KWh to $999.9 /KWh. The accumulated
energy cost used by the appliance is calculated by multiplying the appliance
running "on time" by the energy price(s). If the user changes the energy price
per Kilowatt, the total cost(s) will also be updated. The price /KWh reading
increases in increments of $0.01/KWh; the maximum is $9999.99/KWh. The
total usage (ON TIME) hours and dollar costs ($ TOTAL COST) may be viewed
in the TOTAL / ON TIME mode.
