1. Tuote ohiview

The Techbee Plug-in Electrical Meter Socket is an advanced device designed to help you monitor and manage your electricity consumption. It provides comprehensive data on various electrical parameters, allowing you to identify energy-intensive appliances and optimize your power usage for energy saving and environmental protection.

Figure 1.1: Techbee Plug-in Electrical Meter Socket Electricity Usage Monitor (Model JK-PM04) with its packaging.

Tärkeimmät ominaisuudet:

• Energy-saving and Environmental Protection: Measures power consumption and calculates total energy costs for rational electricity planning.
• Multi-functional Monitoring: Offers 11 display modes including power (Watt), total energy used (kWh), carbon emissions (CO₂), voltage (Volt), current (Amp), frequency (Hz), power factor, cost per kWh, minimum power, and maximum power.
• Monikerroksinen suojaus: Features warning indicators (screen flash and LED) for preset power, energy cost, or consumption limits. Default overload limit is 3680W, with a recommendation to set it to 1800W for initial use.
• Käyttäjäystävällinen näyttö: Large, easy-to-read display set at a 45-degree angle for optimal visibility.
• Partial Reset Function: Allows deletion of measurement data without affecting original settings (e.g., cost/kWh).
• Sisäänrakennettu akku: Retains settings and measured data even when unplugged.

2. Asennus ja käyttöönotto

Follow these steps to set up your Techbee Power Meter:

1. Purkaminen: Carefully remove the power meter from its packaging.
2. Suojakalvo: A transparent protective film is present on the screen. You may remove it for clearer visibility or keep it as preferred.
3. Virta päälle: Plug the meter directly into a standard electrical wall socket. The display should illuminate. If the screen remains blank or buttons are unresponsive, plugging it into a live socket will resolve the issue as it powers the internal battery and display.
4. Initial Overload Setting: The default overload power limit is 3680W. Before using the energy meter, it is recommended to set the overload power to 1800W for general household appliances. Refer to Section 3.2 for instructions on setting alarm thresholds.
5. Yhdistä laite: Plug the appliance you wish to monitor into the socket on the front of the power meter.

3. Käyttöohjeet

The Techbee Power Meter features four control buttons: MODE, SARJA, UP, ja ALAS.

3.1. Näyttötilat

Paina MODE button to cycle through the 11 different display modes. Each mode provides specific electrical data:

1. Watt / Total Cost: Displays current power consumption in Watts and accumulated cost.
2. Total kWh Used: Shows the total kilowatt-hours consumed.
3. Carbon Emissions (CO₂): Displays CO₂ emissions based on energy consumption.
4. Voitage / Taajuus: Näyttää nykyisen äänenvoimakkuudentage (V) and frequency (Hz) of the power supply.
5. Current / Power Factor: Displays the current (Amp) and power factor.
6. Cost per kWh: Mahdollistaa asettamisen ja viewing the cost per kilowatt-hour.
7. Pienin teho: Shows the lowest recorded power consumption.
8. Suurin teho: Shows the highest recorded power consumption.
9. Ylikuormitushälytys: Displays the set overload power limit.
10. Alarm of kWh: Displays the set kWh alarm limit.
11. Alarm of Cost: Displays the set cost alarm limit.

3.2. Setting Alarm Thresholds and Cost

To set specific values like cost per kWh or alarm limits:

1. Paina MODE button until you reach the desired setting mode (e.g., "Cost per kWh", "Overload Alarm", "Alarm of kWh", or "Alarm of Cost").
2. Paina SARJA button. The digit you can adjust will start flashing.
3. Käytä UP ja ALAS painikkeita säätääksesi arvoa.
4. Paina SARJA again to move to the next digit or to confirm the setting.
5. Once all digits are set, press MODE poistuaksesi asetustilasta.

3.3. Tietojen nollaaminen

The meter allows for partial data reset, which means you can clear accumulated measurement data (like total kWh or total cost) without losing your custom settings (like cost per kWh or alarm thresholds). To reset measurement data, press and hold the ALAS button for approximately 5 seconds until the relevant data clears.

3.4. Monitoring Appliance Consumption

The meter can precisely detect power usage down to 0.5W, allowing you to identify even the tiniest standby power consumption from your devices. This helps in tracking and reducing unnecessary electricity usage across various household appliances.
