1USINTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the Wireless Energy Monitor. Keeping an eye on your electrical usage has never been easier with the new Wireless Energy Monitor. This revelatory device, which aims to help in the fi ght against climate change, is set to show millions of people just how much electricity we waste in our homes, whilst highlighting the money we can all save as a result. monitors the home’s electricity supply and for the fi rst time provides real-time monetary information about the household’s energy usage. When lights and appliances are turned on, easy-to-read LCD monitor reveals exactly how much electricity is being used, how the cost of electricity per hour changes, and how much harmful CO2 emissions the home is producing. By simply turning off appliances when not in use, or rather being used needlessly, UK consumers can actually save up to 25% of their electricity usage - a saving that translates directly to reducing their monthly bills and households’ harmful carbon emissionsCEO2 Save Energy plcTABLE OF CONTENTSINTRODUCTION ....................................................................................................................................................... 1TABLE OF CONTENTS ............................................................................................................................................ 1GENERAL SAFETY & CARE GUIDELINES ............................................................................................................ 2HOW THE WORKS ........................................................................................................................................ 3Overview .......................................................................................................................................................... 3Household Power Cables And Phase .............................................................................................................. 3Greenhouse Gas .............................................................................................................................................. 3Definitions ........................................................................................................................................................ 3 FEATURES & FUNCTIONS ........................................................................................................................... 4Remote Monitor Features ............................................................................................................................... 4Remote Monitor Key Press Functions ............................................................................................................. 4Sender Box Features ...................................................................................................................................... 4 ADVANCED SETTINGS ................................................................................................................................. 5WHAT TO DO IF? .................................................................................................................................................... 7 SPECIFICATIONS .......................................................................................................................................... 8 Factory Default Setting .......................................................................................................................... 8COMPLIANCE .......................................................................................................................................................... 9Declaration of Conformity ................................................................................................................................ 9WARRANTY ............................................................................................................................................................ 9Limited One Year Warranty .............................................................................................................................. 9Warranty Conditions ........................................................................................................................................ 9DISTRIBUTOR DETAILS ......................................................................................................................................... 9RETURNS ............................................................................................................................................................... 10Process .......................................................................................................................................................... 10Customer Services ......................................................................................................................................... 10 NOTE Please keep this Manual and Quick Start Guide handy as you use your Wireless Energy Monitor.

3USHOW THE WORKSOverviewThis product uses current transformer sensing technology to detect and monitor a tiny magnetic field around your household electricity power cable. It measures the current (Amps) being used and, by reference to the system voltage, calculates the amount of power being used, the cost, and the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. It then transmits this information from the Sender Box to a Wireless Remote Monitor on a wireless frequency of 433MHz, from up to 30 metres (100 feet) away (unbroken transmission). NOTE The intention of this product is primarily as an educational device to aid understanding of the cost of operating electrical appliances in the home. Hence, there is no intention for the Wireless Energy Monitor to replace your accurate electricity revenue meter.Household Power Cables And PhaseMost UK household electricity supplies use single-phase, but some use three phase. In single-phase supplies, the current flows to and from your household appliances using a neutral and power line. The neutral line has a voltage close to zero while the power line carries a fluctuating voltage or phase. The difference between these two lines makes the current flow through your appliances.In three phase supplies, current flows to and from a device through a group of three lines - each one carrying a fluctuating voltage or phase. One sensor should be connected to each of the three phase lines before using the .Green House GasFossil fuel power stations emit gases such as carbon dioxide when producing electricity. This causes an atmospheric imbalance, which in turn has been linked to global warming (global temperature rise). Every power station has a slightly different ratio of emissions to electricity production, depending on the type of fuel used to generate electricity. Sustainable energy sources such as hydro, solar and wind power do not create any emissions.The default greenhouse gas emission rate on the Remote Monitor is set to 1.27lb (0.58kg) of greenhouse gas for every 1KWh of electricity produced. This can be changed depending upon the fuel or energy source used by your power generating authority.Definitions• Voltage:- is the measure of electrical potential in Volts(V).• Current:- signifies the amount of electricity flowing through a conductive material, such as a wire. Electrical current is measured in amperes or amps (A). • Power:- is the rate at which electrical energy is converted to another form. Both voltage and current are necessary to provide electrical power for your household appliances. Power is the product of Volts times Amps, and the unit of measure is Watts. A Watt is the standard unit of measurement for the amount of energy (electric or otherwise) being transferred to or from somewhere each second. o The voltage is usually constant - so the amount of power used is directly proportional to the current used. o A Kilowatt (kW) is a larger unit of measurement (1000 W = 1 kW). o Kilowatt hour (kWh) represents the use of 1000 watts of electricity for one whole hour. o 1 kWh is the equivalent of ten (10) x 100-watt bulbs operating at the same time for one hour.
