Key 3 switches the display area on the left top, Key 2 switches the display area on the right top, Key 9 shifts the display area on the bottom 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. Setting the electricity tariff „wcost/kWh“: Press the key „F“(2) repeatedly, until „W“ appears in the upper right display. Press the key „•“(9) repeatedly, until the display shows „COST/kWh v“. The „SET“ key (8) activates the settings menu. The first digit flashes. If you press the key again, the decimal place will change. With the keys „S“(3) and „F“(2), the value can be changed. To complete the setting, press the key „•“(9) or wait for approx. 10s. The setting is completed. Setting the alarm limit for max. current and max. rated power: Press the key „•“(9) repeatedly, until the lower display shows „TOTAL kWh“. Press the key „F“(2) repeatedly, until the display shows „OVERLOAD“. The „SET“ key (8) activates the settings menu. The last set unit (W or A) flashes. With the keys „S“(3) and „F“(2) the unit can be changed. „W“ corresponds to the effective power in Watt „A“ corresponds to the current in ampere. The „SET“ key (8) confirms the selection and switches to the next digit input. The first digit flashes. If you press the key again, the decimal place will change. With the keys „S“(3) and „F“(2), the value can be changed. To complete the setting, press the key „•“(9) or wait for approx. 10s. The setting is completed. 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 fields (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 240 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).
