Troubleshooting your Energy Monitor

Dashes are shown in $ views.

  

This occurs when your Energy Monitor does not have 
information about your electricity prices. If your meter 
doesn’t provide your electricity price information 
automatically to your Energy Monitor then you will need to 
manually enter this information. Follow the instructions on 
page 14 to do this.

The Usage Indicator is not shown.

 

When your Energy Monitor doesn’t have enough usage 
history to calculate comparisons it will not show the Usage 
Indicator. Your Energy Monitor will automatically enable the 
Usage Indicator once it has enough usage information. This 
may take a few weeks.

Troubleshooting your Energy Monitor

Press once

My Energy Monitor is not waking up or appears stuck. 

Ensure that your Energy Monitor’s battery is charged by 
plugging it into a mains socket with the power adapter. The 
battery indicator will stop flashing when it is fully charged. 
If your Energy Monitor is still “stuck” then press the reset 
button for one second using a paper clip.

Warning:

 If you hold the reset button down for too long  

(5 seconds) your energy monitor will be told to disconnect 
from your meter. If this happens you will need to follow the 
instructions on page 10 to reconnect your Energy Monitor 
to your meter.

If this does not resolve the problem then contact  

na-support@percepscion.com

The Usage Indicator does not switch on. 

Some meters only update information to the Energy Monitor 
every 30 or 40 seconds; this means it may take a while after 
switching an appliance on or off to see the change in usage.
