Display
Line 1: Display of costs, consumption, voltage, current consumption, CO2 emissions Line 2: Display of weekly, monthly and annual costs of consumption and CO2 emissions Line 3: Date and time display

Button assignment

• MODE (2) Press the MODE button to select between the different display modes: Cost, power in KW, voltage in V, current consumption in A, CO2 emission
•   UP (3) Press the UP button to set higher values. This is possible to set higher prices in CO2 mode as well as when setting the date. Press and hold the UP button for two seconds to scroll through the values faster. In normal display mode you can switch between 12- and 24-hour display.

This is possible to set lower prices in CO2 mode as well as when setting the date. Press and hold the TOTAL button for two seconds to scroll through the values faster.
• SET (5) Briefly press the SET button to set the time and date. Press the SET button again to confirm the settings and move to the next option. Press and hold the SET button to set the electricity cost or CO2 emissions. Press the SET button again to confirm the settings and move to the next option.
• RESET (6) Press and hold the RESET button to clear and restart all settings.

A rechargeable, non-replaceable battery is installed in the display. Connect the device to the mains for at least approx. 2 hours to charge it. In this way, the device can save the measured data even if it is disconnected from the power supply for a short time.

Reset
Press RESET (6). The complete display will light up for 3 seconds, after which you will enter the normal display mode. All settings will be taken as default.

Setting time and date
Briefly press SET (5) to enter the time and date setting. The set mode will now flash. Press TOTAL (4) or UP (3) to set the time and date. You can now set the date and time in the following order: Year > Date format (month/day or day/month) > Month > Day > Hour > Minute > Exit mode

Display modes
There is a total of 5 different display modes: Cost, power in KW, voltage in V, current consumption in A, CO2 emission. Press MODE (2) to switch between the different modes.

•  In normal display mode, the individual costs are displayed in the first line. By pressing MODE (2) you can switch between cost, consumption, voltage, current consumption and CO2 emission.
•  The second line shows the sum of the costs per week / month / year based on the extrapolated first line. Press TOTAL (4) to switch between the sum per week / month / year.
•  The date and time are automatically displayed alternately in the third line.
•  To delete all current totals, press and hold UP (3) and TOTAL (4) simultaneously for 2 seconds. Both the weekly /monthly / annual total of electricity consumption and CO2 emissions will be reset to 0.

Cost Mode

•  There are two different cost settings, PRICE 1 and PRICE 2, which can take different billing tariffs at different times into account
•  PRICE 1 is the basic charge. If PRICE 1 is set to 0.00, PRICE 2 is also set to 0.00 automatically.
•  In normal display mode, press SET (5) for 2 seconds to enter input mode. Chose the monetary unit Pound (£), Euro (€) or Dollar ($) first by pressing UP (3) and TOTAL (4).
•  Then press SET again (5) so that PRICE 1 flashes. Press SET (5) again so that the weekdays flash at the bottom of the display. Use TOTAL (4) and UP (3) to set the desired week period for which price 1 is to apply.

•  Then press SET (5) again so that the second digit flashes. Set it again with TOTAL (4) and UP (3).
•  Then press SET (5) again so that the last digit flashes. Also set it with TOTAL (4) and UP (3).
•  Finally, press SET (5) so that the decimal point flashes. You can also move it with TOTAL (4) and UP (3).

If you only want to set one tariff, set the time period to 7 days and the start to 0:00 hours. To set a second tariff, press SET (5) again to enter the second tariff setting mode. This is set in the same way as tariff 1. Make sure, however, that there is no time overlap between the two set tariffs.

Setting the CO2 emissions

•  Once all costs have been entered, press SET (5) again to go to the CO2 emission setting.
•  This value can be obtained from your energy supplier.
•  In the display you can now read “SET CO2” in the first line.
•  Set the unit of measurement (kg) with TOTAL (4) and UP (3).
•  Press SET (5) again to enter the data. The first digit starts flashing.
•  Now set the first digit with TOTAL (4) and UP (3).
•  Then press SET (5) again. The second digit starts flashing, which you can adjust again with TOTAL (4) and UP (3).
•  Then press SET again (5). The last digit starts flashing, which can also be set with TOTAL (4) and UP (3).
