Features and Specifications

The T1500 is an easy-to-use power meter that accurately measures power consumption of household appliances. Simply set the local utility rate in Kilowatt-hours (KwH) and connect an appliance to start tracking cost. The T1500 can be used to verify power quality by monitoring voltage, frequency and power factor

• Calculates the operating costs of household appliances
• Displays 8 important units of measure (voltage, current, watts, frequency, power factor, energy used (kWh), total cost and elapsed time)
• Over-current warning function
• Easy-to-read, dual LCD display
• Built-in battery backup
• Conforms to UL and CSA standards

Function Keys Description

1. The COST button cycles through each function in the upper display as indicated by “Total time”, “Cost”, “Set”, “Energy” and “CO2”.
2. The MODEL button, cycles through each function in the lower display as indicated by “Voltage” , “Current”, “Power”, “Power Factor” and “Freq”.
3. The SET button allows you to configure the CO2 & KWh cost functions.
4. The + button has three main functions, the first is to increase the number of digits when configuring the CO2 & kWh costs at a 0-9 cycle. The second is the reset function; reset the Energy, Cost or emission load of CO2 by holding it down. The + button is also used to power on the unit when power is off.
   

Operating Instructions

1. Plug the power meter into a household receptacle and it will automatically start.
2. Select the desired function by pressing the MODEL button.
3. Return to the default function (“Voltage”) by holding the MODEL button.
   Note: If the unit has been in use for less than 1 day, only “Hour and Min” will be displayed as shown in Figure 1 below. Check elapsed time by pressing the + button as shown in Figure 2. If the time accumulated exceeds 1 day, it will be displayed in the form of “Day” as shown in Figure 3. To view the total accumulated time, press the + button to display “Day” followed by “Hour and Min”.
   

Setting the CO2 Cost Function

The production of energy releases greenhouse gases (among others carbon dioxide CO2), which places a burden on the environment. With this device, you are able to determine how much CO2 is released by an energy supplier with the measured kWh value. There are different CO2 equivalents depending on the type of energy. The CO2 equivalent indicates how much of a defined quantity of a greenhouse gas contributes to the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide serves as a comparison value.

The factor for the CO2 equivalents is entered in the device in kg/kWh and displayed accordingly in kg/kWh. You can find information on the CO2 equivalents to be entered on your power bill and on the internet, technical manuals or by contacting your energy supplier

1. To set your kg/kWh cost, switch to the “CO2” cost function by pressing the COST button.
2. Once the CO2 parameter is visible press and hold the SET button.
3. Adjust the values by pressing the + button.
4. When the desired value has been set, save the data by holding the SET button.
5. Battery Replacement

Battery Replacement

Please ensure the meter has been disconnected from power prior to replacing battery. Remove the battery cover with a screwdriver. Once the cover has been removed, replace the battery cell and tighten the cover back on. See the following figure for detailed steps:
