for best results:
• Place the sensor within 30 m (00 ft) of the main unit.
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor)
unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls and
furniture.
TIP
The transmission range may vary depending on many
factors. You may need to experiment with various locations
to get the best results.
MAIN �NIT �ET �P
. Slide open the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarities (+ / -).
3. Press RE�ET after each battery change.
4. Close the battery door.
�EN�OR DATA TRAN�MI��ION
If main unit does not display data or after each
transmitter battery change:
. Press and hold CHECk (located in the transmitter) until
LED light flashes. Transmitter will check for and transmit
data to the main unit every 2 seconds for 30 seconds.
2. Press and hold �EARCH on the main unit to search
signal from transmitter.
The main unit may display incorrect readings or no readings,
possibly due to receiving data from a nearby sensor.
Though it is recommended to use channel 2 (default), user
can manually choose another channel ( or 3) to attempt
another link up. If a channel, other than 2 has been selected
on the sensor, main unit settings must also be updated (See
"SET COUNTRY" section in this manual for instructions).
�NDER�TANDING ELECTRICITy
voltage Electrical potential. Fixed at 220V-250V or
(volts) 120V depending on region.
Amount of electricity flowing through,
Current
e.g., a wire. (The sensor measures this to
(amps)
determine watt)
Amount of energy being transferred. (KW =
Power
1000W). This type of data is displayed on
(watts)
the top line of Energy mode.
KWh is a measure of consumption. Kilowatt hour represents
the use of 1000W of electricity for 1 whole hour, which is
equivalent to ten x 100W light bulbs operating at the same
time for  hour.
Once cost rate of electricity has been inputted, the monitor
can arrive at an estimated cost. Each utility company sets
a different tariff for electricity consumption. This rate can
usually be found on the electricity bill.
Fossil fuel power stations produce greenhouse gasses as
a by-product of the production process. These gasses have
been linked to climate change. The amount of greenhouse
gas emitted is different for each utility company. For your
convenience, a default greenhouse emission rate (per
1KWh of electricity produced) has been set on this unit.
However, this rate can be changed if desired.

This product is for educational purposes only. Its
aim is to aid understanding of the cost of operating electrical
appliances in the home. It does not replace your accurate
electricity revenue meter.
