Product Information

Product Name: APM2
Languages: DE | EN | FR | IT | NL
Intended Use: This device is an energy measurement device that allows you to measure and store the electrical power of household appliances connected to the 230V mains.

Product Usage Instructions:

Initial Use:
- Press the “RESET” button with a paper clip to clear all settings.
Setting the Individual Electricity Tariff:
- You can set your costs per kWh, which you can take from your electricity tariff. (max. 99.99)
- Press and hold the “COST” button for more than 3 seconds. The display will start flashing.
- Press the “FUNCTION” button repeatedly to navigate to the position you want to change.
- Use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to change the value. Use the “FUNCTION” button to jump to the next digit. Repeat this until the cost per kWh is set correctly.
- Press the “COST” button again to save your values. The unit is now ready.
Display Modes:
- Time Display: In the three-part display, the topmost line shows how long the unit has been measuring. The value continues to run with each measurement until a reset is performed. If the measurement exceeds 24h, the display jumps back to 00:00 and the days are enumerated in the “KWH” display mode (see 3.8). The maximum measurement duration is 9999 days.
