BaLDR B3091 Single-Dual Tariff Power Meter

Overview Of Single Tariff

Overview Of Dual Tariff

Introduction

Many electronic devices that are left plugged in when they are not in use or on standby mode drive 20% high electricity bill. Introducing BALDR US Electricity Power Meter (Single/Dual tariff) to assess or figure out which appliances are driving up your power bill or high cost of energy and help you save on money. Simply connect this power meter to the electric appliances (Air conditioner, Refrigerator, Water heater, T.V, Microwave oven) and it will monitor the voltage, current, line, frequency, and power factor of your electricity usage in real-time so you will know if it’s time to replace the old appliance with a new efficient one.

Two Different Types of Power Sockets

1. Single Tariff: It can set one tariff at a time. It can measure the energy consumption of appliances on standby and reduce the power bill.
2. Dual Tariff: It is a smart electronic device than a single tariff power meter, it can set two different tariffs in different period. It can measure both energy and cost of household appliances which can help users reduce the power bill and carbon emissions.

Display

First Rank:
It shows accumulative time up to 1 day, it displays 0:00 as minutes and seconds. After 60 minutes, the display will change to hours and minutes. When the accumulative time goes beyond 24 hours, the first rank will restart.

Second Rank:
It shows the electric parameter, press “ENERGY” button, it will take turns to show: present voltage (range:0.000~9999V) present current (range:0.000~9999A) present frequency (range:0.000~9999Hz) present power factor (0.000~1.00 power factor)

Third Rank:
It shows the recorded parameter, press “COST” button, it will take turns to show: accumulative electric power (range:0.000~9999KWH) electricity price
(range:0.000~9999 COST/KWh, the default parameter of electricity price is 1.00 COST/KWh) accumulative days (range:0.000-9999days) accumulative volume of CO2 (range:0.00-9999kgs,1kwh electric power will emit 0.998kgCO2) accumulative electric charge (range:0.00~9999COST)

How To Operate

1. Firstly, remove the plastic pull tab from the battery compartment cover of the power meter
2. Secondly, put it into the power supply, the LCD screen of the power meter will show and will last for about 3 seconds.
3. Finally, connect the electric appliances (Air conditioner, Refrigerator, Water heater, T.V, Microwave oven) with the power meter.

How To Use

Display Mode Setting:
Press the “SET” button to show the 6 modes as follows:

Note: The letters “COST” which is on the upper left corner of the second rank and the letters “ENERGY” which is on the upper left corner of the third rank will always display on LCD.

• The first rank will show the accumulative time, the second rank will show the present voltage, the third rank will show the accumulative electric power.
• The first rank will show accumulative time, the second rank will show the present current, the third rank will show the electricity price.
• The first rank will show accumulative time, the second rank will show present frequency, the third rank will show the accumulative days
• The first rank will show the accumulative time, the second rank will show the present power factor, the third rank will show the accumulative Volume of CO2.
• The first rank will show the accumulative time, the second rank will show OVERLOAD setting watts.
• The first rank will show the accumulative time, the second rank will show present power, the third rank will show the accumulative electric charge.

Electricity Price Setting:
Press the “COST” button for more than three seconds, it will enter into electricity price setting mode, then COST/KWh on the LCD will display, press “SET” button for selecting, then press “UP” button for setting.

Note: When finish setting, please press “COST” button for saving. If the buttons are idle for more than 10 seconds, it will automatically quit electricity price setting mode

Overload Setting:
Press the “ENERGY” button for more than three seconds, it will enter into “OVERLOAD” watts setting mode, then “OVERLOAD” on the LCD will display, press “SET” button for selecting, then press “UP” button for setting. When you finish, press the “ENERGY” button for saving.

Note: Use the power meter within the max load power, 1875W (US version), when it goes beyond max load power, the display “OVERLOAD” on LCD will keep blinking for danger caution.

DUAL TARIFF POWER METER SETTING

Clock Setting:
Keep pressing “CLOCK” button over 3 sec, it will enter into time setting mode. To select flashing number press “SET” button, then press “UP” button for setting. When finish setting, press “OK” button. It will save your setting, and display the clock time.

Change-Over Between Clock Time and Cumulative Time
“CLOCK” button works for a change-over between clock time and cumulative time. For example, if you press “CLOCK” button when the LCD displays clock time, it will change to cumulative time. The first rank will display the hour part, the second rank will display the day part (range:0.000-9999 days). When the LCD displays cumulative time, the other Cost Rank data will disappear

Cost Setting:

• Press “UP” button to choose the symbol (money symbol); £(pound); ＄(USD); and € (euro) that you want, then press “OK” button to finish.
