COST MONITORING:
Using this feature, users will see the cost of electricity in running an electrical appliance. For cost monitoring, the value is shown
on the LCD as "TOTAL COST" and the information obtained will enable users to be more power consumption aware and efficient.
COST FORECASTING:
Cost forecasting is useful for budgeting future electricity bills as the approximate cost to run an electrical appliance over a
period of time can be estimated in this way. There are three cost forecasting displays screens as follows:
1)
COST/D = cost per day forecast (assuming normal usage)
2)
COST/M = cost per month forecast (assuming normal usage)
3)
COST/Y = cost per year forecast (assuming normal usage)
INSTANTANEOUS POWER CONSUMPTION:
When an electrical appliance is plugged into the Energy Control, by pressing the "POWER" key, the instantaneous power (Watts)
being used at that precise moment in time can be ascertained.
THE MAXIMUM LOAD POWER DISPLAY:
Again, by pressing the "POWER" key, the maximum load power (Maximum Watts) will be displayed. This reading applies to
maximum power that an electrical appliance has used during its monitoring period.
TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION DISPLAY:
Again, by pressing the "POWER" key for a third time, the LCD will alternate to show the total kWh consumed by an electrical
appliance for the monitoring period.
SETTING UP:
It will take 12 hours to full charge the battery. After full charged, it will be standby for about 3 days if taking the Energy Control
off the power supply. When it is at low power, the LCD screen will not display.
Before plugging the Energy Control into the mains socket and any appliances into it, the values must be set.
