OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
VERSION 05/11
These operating instructions belong to this product. They contain important information for
operation and handling. They must be observed, even if the product is passed on to a third
party. In this regard, keep the-se operating instructions for future reference.
INTRODUCTION
Dear customer,“With the Energy Monitor 3000, you have acquired a measurement device
created according to the most cur“rent state-of-the-art. You are now able to determine power
costs of your power loads in the easiest way.“
The Energy Monitor 3000 has been EMV-tested for safety and corresponds with the
requirements of valid European and national guidelines. The conformity was proven and the
corresponding declarations are available from the manufacturer.
In order to maintain this condition and ensure safe operation, you as the user have to observe
this operating manual.
PROPER USE
The measurement range of the Energy Monitor 3000 extends from 1.5 to 3000 W. If values fall
below or exceed these limit values, exact measurements are no longer possible. Also the device
could be overloaded and thereby destroyed.
The Energy Monitor 3000 has been developed for monitoring and measuring electrical loads.
Although the Energy Monitor 3000 is very accurate, it is not officially certified for usage by
power companies and users for measuring power expenditures.
• The Energy Monitor 3000 is only certified for operation at 230 V/AC.
• Only power loads with a power supply of 230 V/AC, 50 Hz may be connected.
• The maximum power of any connected load may not exceed 3000 W (max. current 13 A).
• Operation of the Energy Monitor 3000 is only permitted in interior spaces and dry
environments. Usage in the open air is strictly forbidden!
• Always observe the declarations on the identification labels of connected power loads.
Another use than the one described above leads to damages to the product and is also
associated with dangers like short circuit, fire, electric shock, etc. The entire product may not be
converted or modified! The safety instructions must be strictly observed.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
We will not assume any liability for damages to items or persons caused by improper handling
or non-compliance with the safety notices! Any warranty claim will become null and void in such
cases.
It must be observed that the conductive ground wire is not broken as this can pose lethal
danger in the event of a malfunction.
This device is not a toy and does not belong in the hands of children.
Only connect the Energy Monitor 3000 to certified protected contact outlets 230 V/AC, 50 Hz
±10% (10/16 A) with a ground wire.
The connected load may not exceed 3000 W (13 A).
The recommended operating temperature is b10 and +40 °C. High temperatures,
especially during measurement of large power loads, lead to danger of overheating and can
thereby permanently destroy the Energy Monitor 3000.
Avoid operating under adverse environmental temperatures and near flammable gases,
vapours and dust.
For reasons of safety, never allow the device to be operated when wet or in a damp
environment.
When cleaning or servicing, the device must be disconnected from every source of operation
voltage.
Condensers in the device may still be charged, even if the device was disconnected from all
voltage sources.
In schools, training facilities, hobby and self-help workshops, qualified personnel must supervise
the operation of measurement units.
In commercial institutions, make sure you observe the accident prevention regulations of the
commercial trade organization for electric installations.
Do not insert needles, metals or any other objects into the device.
If it has been ascertained that safe operation is no longer possible, take the device out of
operation and secure it against accidental reactivation. It can be ascertained that safe operation
is no longer possible if the device shows visible damage, no longer works correctly, has been
stored for a long period under unfavourable conditions or has been placed under heavy
stresses in transport.

1 LC display
2 Battery cover
3 Plug
PROPERTIES
• Monitoring of voltage, current and frequency
• Display of active power, apparent power and cos phi
• Min/max value recording of voltage, current, frequency, active power, apparent power and cos
phi
• Determination of "On" time for devices that run constantly (i.e. refrigerator)
• Display of used energy and accrued power costs
• Cost forecast
• Dual programmable power tariffs
CONNECTION, OPERATION SETTINGS
Before you connect the Energy Monitor 3000 to an outlet or power load, the desired power tariff
must be set. The procedure for entering the power tariff is described under point C.
A) Display of supply voltage, frequency and load current
1. Immediately after the Energy Monitor 3000 is plugged into an outlet,
the supply voltage, frequency of the supply voltage and present
current consumption of the connected loads are displayed in the
LCD.
2. Press the "MIN/MAX CLR" button to switch between the minimum,
maximum and present values.
3. Press the "MIN/MAX CLR" button for longer than 4 seconds to
remove the minimum and maximum values and return to the present
values.
4. Pressing the "MODE" button switches the display to active power,
apparent power and cos phi.
B) Display of active power, apparent power, cos phi and type of load
1. Press the "MIN/MAX CLR" button to switch between the minimum,
maximum and present values.
2. Press the "MIN/MAX CLR" button for longer than 4 seconds to
remove the minimum and maximum values and return to the present
values. Note: Min/Max power records are in integral form.
3. Pressing the "MODE" button switches the display to used energy in
kWh (kilowatt hours), the tariff setting and the display of accrued
energy costs.
C) Display of used energy, energy tariff setting and energy costs
1. Press and hold the "MIN/MAX CLR” button for longer than 4 sec-
onds to set the "total energy costs”, the "cost projection”, "kWh”,
"rech” and "on h” to "0”.
2. With the "Tariff (Set)" button, you can switch between Tariff 1 and
Tariff 2, display the "total accrued costs” for every tariff or change
the displayed tariff.
3. To change the displayed tariff, press and hold the "Tariff (Set)”
button for 4 seconds until the right position begins to blink.
4. With the "MODE" button, increase the value of the blinking position from 0 to 9; reset to 0
with the "MIN/MAX CLR” button. After entering the desired values, you can select the next
position with the "Forecast” button.
5. After entering all values, confirm the adjusted tariff with the "Tarif (Set)” button.
6. Change to the second tariff with the "Tariff (Set)” button and repeat the entry as in steps 3
to 5.
7. Press the "MODE" button to change to "Recording mode”.
