PRESETTING THE TARIFF AND ALARM LIMIT FOR THE CURRENT AND
RATED POWER
Some of the parameters in the display on the top right and on the bottom can be set individually.
However, the parameters can only be set one after the other. Make sure only the appropriate parameter is
selected in the display. The setting will be completed, if no button is pushed for about 10 seconds.
The measuring instrument has options for individually setting the electricity tariffs (cost/kWh) and alarm limits
for the max. current (A) or the max. electrical power. When the set current or power values are exceeded
a signal is emitted.

OPERATION
If the product is overloaded, it may be damaged . The warranty/guarantee will become void in
these cases.
Do not plug together several energy cost measuring instruments.
The device is not approved for use in areas where there is a risk of explosions.
Avoidareaswithstrongmagneticelds(motorsetc.).
Avoid blows or strong vibrations, as well as the use in direct sunlight.
Plug the energy cost measuring instrument into a domestic wall socket with earth protection and 230 V AC
voltage.
Make sure that the electric device you wish to measure is switched off. Connect the mains plug of the
electrical device to the earthed socket (1).
