Overview
This measurement category II 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 and the cost. It then transmits this information from the Transmitter wirelessly to the Display on a radio 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
Micro Wireless Electricity Monitor to replace your accurate electricity revenue
meter.
Household Power Cables And Phase
Typical US household electricity supplies standardized at 120V/60Hz are single phase 3 –wire systems, with 2 hot lines and a neutral. The line
to neutral voltage is 120V used for general circuits within the household, and a line to line voltage of 240V used for heavy duty applications such
as air conditioners, clothes dryers, stoves, ovens, and water heaters.
Accuracy
The
Micro Wireless Electricity Monitor has a fixed voltage - 120V and used with the monitoring of current by the sensor clip enables a
Micro Wireless Electricity Monitor is not designed to replace homes
calculation of KWH. Generally the device is accurate within 10%. The
electricity meter - they are aimed to provide a very visual and accessible way for users to see the impact of different devices and usage patterns
around the home. This we hope will assist in educating users to adopt more beneficial consumption habits, reduce their costs and reduce their
carbon emissions.

Cost of Electricity:- Price per kWh of electricity as shown on your electricity bill.
Cable Size- The sensor is suitable to connect over a cable up to 17mm in diameter including the insulation. It is ok for the sensor to be loose
over the cable.
Display is blank:- Ensure that the batteries are inserted the correct way around and that the batteries are not exhausted. If the batteries are
exhausted replace with new batteries. If the display does not return then contact dg@pdsmn.com.
Four dashes (----) flashing on the upper part of the Display:- The Display is in a search mode looking for a Transmitter to synchronise with.
Four dashes (----) fixed on the upper part of the Display:- The Display and Transmitter have not synchronised. Repeat the “Synchronising
the Display and Transmitter” process in the manual.
0.00 Reading on the Display:- The sensor is not able to measure the electricity flow through the Twin/Three Core cables so will return a reading
of 0.00 if the sensor is connected over the cable of an appliance.
0.00 Reading on the Display: Possible that the Sensor has a damaged Ferrite Core. To check to see if the sensor is damaged, you will need
to unclip the sensor from the cable and inspect the Ferrite Core (U-Shaped Black Material) in the sensor lid is still in one piece and that the
corresponding faces in the sensor body are in position. If this is damaged then contact dg@pdsmn.com.
Lower reading than expected:- If the cable is a very tight fit for the sensor then it is likely the sensor is unable to be closed properly as in the
2 halves of ferrite core within the sensor do not make a flush contact then the reading will be lower than measured.

Save Money with the OWL 10-step Plan
Install OWL and reduce your electricity consumption by following our ten-step plan for saving electricity
1) Change light bulbs to energy saving versions
2) Switch off electronic goods such as TV’s, videos and games consoles at wall sockets when not in use
3) Remove all telephone chargers from mains when not in use
4) Use tumble dryers less and if possible dry using a washing line
5) Fill washing machines and dish washers to maximum for each cycle
6) Wash clothes on cooler temperatures (ie 40°C
30°C)
7) Only boil the amount of water necessary when making tea or coffee
8) Put all outside lights on “proximity switches”
9) When changing appliances, ensure that you purchase the best Energy Rating
