Tariffs 

You  need  to  enter  the  price  you  pay  for 

your  energy.  If  you  have  only  one  tariff, 

then enter the cost per kWh. This can be 

found on your electricity bill.
If  you  have  a  block  tariff  you  can  work 

out an average from your recent bills and 

enter as one tariff. 
What is a block tariff? A block tariff means 

that for the first x number of kWh in each 

billing  period  you  pay  a  more  expensive 

tariff than normal.
How to calculate it: take the total cost of 

electricity  for  the  period  (e.g.  £120)  and 

divide it by the amount of kWh you used.
Example:

If  you  were  billed  £120  this  quarter  and 

you  used  1000kWh,  then  enter  the  sum 

of  £120/1000kWh  =  £0.12/kWh  in  the 

display setting [TARIFF 1].
Use the 

 and 

 buttons to set the tariff 

and  then  press  the  centre  button  to 

confirm.
If  you  don’t  have  a  second  tariff,  then 

leave [TARIFF 2] cost as zero. 
If you do have a second tariff, for example 

cheaper  electricity  overnight,  then  enter 

the cost per kWh for that second tariff. If a 

second tariff is entered then you need to 

enter the time that tariff starts and ends.
Use the 

 and 

 to set the second tariff and 

then press the centre button to confirm.

Use the 

 and 

 buttons to set the time the 

second  tariff  switches  on  and  then  press 

the centre button to confirm.
Use  the 

 and 

  buttons  to  set  the 

time  the  second  tariff  comes  off 

and  then  press  the  centre  button 

 

to confirm.

If you pay your supplier a standing charge 

you can enter that amount here.
Use  the 

 and 

  buttons  to  set  the  daily 

standing charge and press the centre button 

to confirm.

If  you  have  entered  a  second  tariff  then 

you  are  prompted  to  enter  a  third  tariff. 

If you don’t have one then simply leave it 

as zero.
