Frequently Asked Questions - 305823 Arendo

How to reset the device?

Press the RESET button with a thin object (e.g., paperclip) for a few seconds until the display returns to normal.

How to set the electricity price?

Press and hold the COST button for 3 seconds until the COST/kWh display flashes. Use SET to select the digit and UP to change it. Confirm with COST.

What does the 'OVERLOAD' flashing mean?

It indicates that consumption exceeds the configured overload limit (default 3680 W). Check connected devices and reduce the load.

How to change the overload limit?

Press and hold the ENERGY button for 3 seconds. The OVERLOAD display flashes. Use SET to select the position and UP to adjust (max 3680 W). Confirm with ENERGY.

Why does the time display stop?

Timing stops when power consumption falls below 2 W. It automatically resumes when consumption exceeds this threshold.

How to reset consumption data?

Press and hold the SET and COST buttons simultaneously to reset energy and cost data.

What to do if the device stops responding?

Use the RESET button to force a reset. If the problem persists, check the batteries or unplug/replug the device.

How to replace the batteries?

Open the battery compartment on the back and replace the two LR44 batteries, observing polarity. Use the device regularly to prevent discharge.

Can I daisy chain multiple devices?

No, never daisy chain devices on this meter. Total power must not exceed 3680 W.

How to interpret the CO2 display?

The KgCO2 display shows estimated CO2 emissions (1 kWh = 0.998 kg CO2). Press COST to scroll through the information.

3. Getting started

When the device is put into operation for the first time, check the intactness of the product or components and their function again. Remove the product from the packing and remove the plastic strip, which is protruding out of the battery compartment on the back side of the energy cost meter. Then connect the electrical devices, whose energy consumption has to be recorded, to the meter. Then plug power cost monitor meter into a properly earthed wall socket. The meter is now ready to be used. Detailed information on the operation and the setting options are given in the following sections of this quick start guide.

Attention! The time measurement stops when the value is below 2 W.

4. Displays and controls

4.1 Time display

The time display shows the duration in which the power was consumed. The following points should be noted:

• if the measured time is less than an hour, then the time is displayed in the "minutes: seconds" format.
• If the measured time is more than an hour, then the time is displayed in the "hours: minutes" format.
• The display resets itself after 24 hours. The "Day" value of the COST display is incremented by 1 in this case.
• The power consumption of the connected device should be at least 2W for the time measurement to continue.
• Press the "SET "+"ENERGY" keys to reset the time.

Press the "SET "+"ENERGY" keys to reset the time.

4.2 Energy display

The energy display provides a wide range of information. The table below gives an overview of the various values:

Display displayed value
V Electrical voltage
A Current
Hz Frequency
POWER FACTOR Power factor
OVERLOAD + W Overload limit in W
W Power

If the energy consumption exceeds the overload limit, then this is indicated by a flashing "OVERLOAD".

4.3 Cost display

The cost display provides a wide range of information. The table below gives an overview of the various values:

Display displayed value
kWh Kilowatt hours
COST + kWh Price per kilowatt hour
Day	Time (in days), during which the energy was consumed; the value is incremented by 1 once the time display counts 24 hours
KgCO2 CO2 emission	(1 kWh corresponds to 0.998 kg of CO2)
COST Energy costs	(kilowatt hours x price per kilowatt-hour)

Press the “SET” and “COST” buttons simultaneously to reset the registered energy cost values.

4.4 Buttons

The following table provides an overview of the button functions:

SET	Changing the information displayed in Energy and Cost displaySelecting the digit to be changed when setting the energy price or overload limit
ENERGY	Changing the information displayed at the Energy displayThe overload limit can be adjusted by pressing it for 3 seconds
COST	Changing the information displayed at the Cost displayThe energy price can be adjusted by pressing it for 3 seconds
UP	Changing the selected digit when setting the energy price or overload limit
RESET	Resets the power cost monitor if the display is incorrect or if the meter does not respond to the pressing of buttons

5. Adjusting the energy price

• If the energy cost meter cannot be started, then press the reset button for a few seconds.
• The internal rechargeable battery will discharge if the timer switch is not used for longer periods of time. Plug the energy cost meter into a mains plug for approx. 24 hours every 3 months to charge the internal rechargeable battery.
• Press and hold the cost button for approx. 3 seconds in order to enter your current energy price per kilowatt-hour. The display flashes Cost/KWh.
