D) Display of recorded data
1. By pressing the "MIN/MAX CLR” button for more than 4 seconds,
you can set the data for "rec h” (recording time), "on h” ("on” time of
connected power loads, e.g. refrigerator, that don’t always run) and
the percent value to "0”.
Note: "Total energy costs", the "cost projection" and "kWh" will also
be reset to zero.
2. Press the "MODE" button to change to "Cost forecast mode”.
E) Display of cost forecast
The cost forecast calculates the projected energy costs from the momentary power recording of
the connected power loads using the set energy tariff.
1. Press the "Forecast" button to switch between displaying "Cost /
WK” (weekly cost), "Cost / Month” (monthly cost) and "Cost / YR”
(annual cost).
2. By pressing the "Tariff (Set)” button, you can switch between dis-
playing the costs forecasts based on Tariff 1 and Tariff 2.
3. The procedure for setting the tariff is described under point C.
4. Press the "MODE" button to display the momentary supply voltage,
the frequency of the supply voltage and the momentary current have
recording of the connected power loads.
With the built-in battery, you can set saved data, recordings, and tariff setting even if the Energy
Monitor 3000“ is not connected to a power outlet. To save battery power, the LCD switches to
sleep mode 60 seconds“ after the unit is disconnected from power outlet.
To leave sleep mode, press the "MODE” button or plug the Energy Monitor 3000 into a powered
outlet.After leaving sleep mode, the Energy Monitor 3000 returns to the display of supply
voltage, frequency and “load current. Rec h timer will start counting if the Energy Monitor 3000
is connected to power supply.“On timer will start counting if the connected power load is
"active", i.e. uses more than 0.5 W.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
With a weak battery, the LCD loses contrast. If the "Low Bat" (empty battery) symbol appears,
immediately replace the battery of the device. The Energy Monitor 3000 requires a cell battery
of type CR 1620 3V, which has a lifespan of about 3 years.
For replacing the battery, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the screw of the battery compartment and remove the battery compartment cover (see
diagram).
2. Remove the used battery from the Energy Monitor 3000 and replace it with a new one of the
same type. Observe correct polarity when inserting the battery.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover and refasten the screw.
ADDITONAL NOTES
The connected loads should be operated as normal when producing the cost forecast. If an
exact cost forecast is to be made per week/month/year for a power load, we recommend leaving
the Energy Monitor 3000 connected to the load for at least one day. The Energy Monitor 3000
can thereby calculate an average power/load and accrued costs more accurately. The longer
the Energy Monitor 3000 is connected, the more accurate is the cost forecast.
The power supply on a power net is never constant and varies from place to place. For
example, a voltage fluctuation of 1% per second for a calculated cost forecast over 5 minutes
will never be as accurate as a cost forecast taken over 3 hours.
Some devices use more current than others immediately after switching on. The current usage
decreases the longer the device is in use (warm-up phase).
MAINTENANCE
• Regularly inspect the Energy Monitor 3000 for damages.
• For cleaning the device and LCD, only use a dry, soft cloth. Do not use any cleaning
solutions.
• Never immerse the device in water.
• Maintenance or repairs may only be performed by a technician familiar with associated
regulations.
