Designated use
The Inspector III is the ideal device for measuring the consumption of electricity.
Although the measurements are very accurate, the Inspector III is not certified as a valid meter to verifiy electricity bills. The Inspector III will not only show the current use of electricity, but will also log total time, voltage, wattage, amps, frequency, maximal wattage and minimal wattage. By entering your actual price per kilowatt per hour the Inspector III will show you the cost of use of the device which has been attached.

The Inspector III may only be used in rooms that are dry. It has not been developed to be used outside of rooms and may not be used in the open.
Any different use as described above may cause damage to the device and/or can become a hazard to your life and to others. The Inspector III may not be changed, opened or manipulated in any way. The safety instructions are to be followed carefully.

Inputting the price

Please look at your electricity bill or ask your local electricity supplier, what your price per kilowatt hour is.

• Press FUNCTION till you get to the Mode 7 Time/Price.
• Press the COST button till the display starts blinking.
• With the FUNCTION button you can now adjust the digit you want to enter.
• With the buttons UP/DOWN you can adjust the value at the selected digit.
• Approx. five seconds without any input or pressing COST will exit the input mode.
• From this moment on all calculations are made based on the price that has been input and will be added to the saved costs.

Tips to save energy

The price entered should always be up ­to ­date.
Monitor the power consumption of a device for a week to get a good average and multiply the cost with 52 to estimate the cost of the device per year.
Find your household “power hogs”! Check the amount of electricity that your devices consume. Most TV’s and electronic devices have a so called “stand­by” mode. When not in use, switch off these devices fully to save costs. Even when the rinse and spin cycle of your washing machine has been completed, hose and temperature sensors still require and consume an unnecessary amount of electricity. The easiest way to fight unnecessary power consumption is to simply use a multiple socket outlet with a switch.

Reset
Reset will reset all values to factory values. All saved and accumulated data are deleted. A total reset is sometimes needed when:

• You want to delete all data.
• The device is showing no reaction.

Press the RESET button carefully with a blunt object. After a short moment the display will show mode 1.

Consumers are legally obligated and responsible for the proper disposal of electronic and electrical devices by returning them to collecting sites designated for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment waste.
