4. Intended use

The product is used to measure and display the power consumption of electrical devices. The product is connected between the mains socket and the electrical load and requires no additional installation. Operation is only permissible when connected to an earthed household mains socket. The max. admissible power rating of the connected load must not be exceeded (see chapter “Technical data”).

Two different electricity tariffs can be entered for cost calculation (e.g. for day/night-time electricity).

Furthermore, the CO_2 emissions of your electricity tariff can be entered. The energy cost meter can then show how much CO_2 was produced while the connected load was used (or how much CO_2 production was prevented when using electricity from sustainable sourced compared to a normal electricity tariff).

The saved data can also be displayed when not connected to a mains socket since in this case, the power is supplied by an integrated Supercap capacitor.

The energy cost meter is not officially calibrated and therefore must not be used for billing purposes.

It may only be used in dry indoor locations. The product must not become damp or wet.

7. Operation

A Supercap condenser is integrated into the energy cost meter, which is used to operate/program the device without having to plug it into a mains socket (for min. 30 minutes).

The capacitor is usually in an uncharged state upon delivery/start-up. Therefore, the energy cost meter can only be operated/programmed when it is plugged directly into a mains socket upon start-up.

You can unplug the energy cost meter from the mains socket and program it, e.g. in sufficient light in the living room or office, only when the capacitor is sufficiently charged (after min. 2 hours).

For energy saving reasons, the display backlight only works when the energy cost meter is plugged into a mains socket.

If the energy cost meter is operated without plugging it into a mains socket and the super-cap capacitor becomes empty, the time is lost. You must then set these again.

Proceed as follows:

• Disconnect any loads that may be connected to the energy cost meter.
• Plug the energy cost meter into an earthed household mains socket (230 V/AC, 50 Hz). On start-up, wait until the normal display appears.
• If the load you want to connect to the energy cost meter has a mains switch, switch it off.
• Plug the mains plug of the load into the earthed mains socket on the front of the energy cost meter.
• Switch the load on and wait a few seconds until the energy cost meter shows the first measured data.
• Before you can use all functions of the energy cost meter, you must first implement a few settings (e.g. time, electricity tariff).

a) Switching between "CURRENT" and "FORECAST" mode

"CURRENT" mode is the normal operating mode in which the power consumption of the connected load is measured and displayed. In addition, the energy costs are calculated and displayed on the basis of the electricity prices entered. After start-up, this mode is automatically preselected.

→ Important:

Setup mode can only be called with a long press of the in "CURRENT" mode (see Chapter 8. c)!

SET button (3)

“FORECAST” mode is intended to produce a forecast of energy consumption, costs and CO_2 values on the basis of the saved measured data. Forecasts can be produced for one day, one week, one month and one year. For example, you can estimate what operation of an electrical load will cost.

→ For more information on "FORECAST" mode, see Chapter 9.

Switch mode as follows:

• Press and hold the F button (4) for 3 seconds.
