so far in this time period is shown in the upper right of the screen. The number of days 
is shown to the nearest one-tenth of a day.  The cumulative energy consumption for the 
time  period  is  shown  as  recorded  by  the  smart  meter.  The  estimated  cost  for  the 
recorded energy consumption is shown in dollars (or cents, if it is less than one dollar), 
and is based on the current price value during the period.  The average cost per day for 
the current time period is shown in the lower right of the screen. 

This is like the odometer in your car; it shows you the total energy used so far.   

 

IMPORTANT: The 

EMU-2

 

displays the usage as recorded by 

the smart meter, and costs based on your input; these numbers 
may differ from what is shown on your actual utility bill.

  

 

The current time period is defined in the 

Billing Dates

 screen in Configuration Mode.  At 

midnight  on  the  Stop  Date,  the  accumulated  totals  are  saved  and  transferred  to  the 

Previous Totals

 screen, and the new current time period is started. 

If  the  Start  and  Stop  Dates  in  the 

Billing  Dates

  screen  are  set  t

o  “manual”,  then  the 

current  time  period  will  run  until  it  is  manually  reset.    This  is  done  by  pressing  and 
holding the Top Button for 5 seconds, which will save all of the accumulated totals in the 

Previous Totals

 screen, and restart all of the current counters from zero. 

 

 

Previous Totals

 

 
The 

Previous  Totals

  screen  shows  your 

accumulated 

totals 

for 

energy 

consumption  and  estimated  cost  for  the 
previous  time  period.  The  start  and  end 
dates  of  the  previous  time  period  are 
shown  at  the  top  of  the  screen.  The 
number  of  days  in  the  previous  time 
period (to the nearest one-tenth of a day) 
is shown in the upper right of the screen.  
The average cost per pay for the previous 
time period is shown in the lower right of the screen  

This screen is overwritten with the values from the 

Total to Date

 screen each time the 

current  time  period  is  restarted.    If  the  current  time  period  has  not  been  restarted  at 
least once, then there will be no data values for this screen and it will not be displayed.
