If you have a 'Night rate'
Having a 'Night rate' means you pay a different amount for the electricity you use during the
night, compared to what you use during the day (eg an Economy 7 customer). You can
programme your energy monitor to take this into account following the simple steps below.
Again, on the monitor, press and hold the ‘up arrow’ and ‘down arrow’ together for
three seconds and release.
You'll be prompted to set your 'low' unit rate, this would be your 'Night rate' given on
your bill (remember, you’ve already just set your ‘high unit rate’). Using the ‘up arrow’
and ‘down arrow', scroll through until you get to your 'Night rate', and then press ‘OK’.
You'll then be prompted to set which hours this rate applies to - this is your Economy 7
hours (usually between midnight and 7am). Using the arrow buttons, first set the time
your Economy 7 rate starts, then press 'OK'. Then you'll be prompted to set when your
Economy 7 hours end.
Some customers have Economy 7 hours which are split across two time periods (eg
11pm to 2am, and then 3am to 7am). Your monitor can only support one time frame so
we suggest you set when your Economy 7 hours for when they are first due to start,
and when they finally end to give you the best possible indication of how much your
electricity use is costing you. Using the example given, this would be 11pm start and
7am finish. Again, using the arrow buttons, set the time and then press ‘OK’.
Your screen will now return to normal.
