Description

As unobtrusive as a small electric clock, the PowerCost Monitor is a powerful real-time direct feedback display device that measures home electricity usage. It tells at a glance, in real-time, how much electricity your home is using in dollars and cents and in kW. Domestic energy use studies have demonstrated that real-time feedback yields energy savings anywhere between 10 and 20 percent. The savings at the high end of this range are realized when a tabletop energy display device, such as the PowerCost Monitor, is used. The PowerCost Monitor technology consists of two discrete functional units: A detection unit, known as the sensor unit, is affixed to an existing household utility meter with a simple ring clamp. The sensor unit is compatible with standard North American digital and electromechanical meter types. This is the only component of the PowerCost Monitor that will be in direct physical contact with the utility's meter and the clamp mechanism allows it to be attached to the outside of the meter glass. It can also be quickly attached and detached without making any changes to the existing meter. The display unit, located inside the home, receives a wireless signal from the transmitter and displays the consumption information in real time and in dollars and cents. Other information is also displayed such as time and outside temperature. Considerations before you order: The PowerCost Monitor uses a wireless signal (433 MHz) to read the information on your utility meter. This means that your utility meter must be located next to your home or within 30 meters (100 ft) of your home. The PowerCost Monitor can be easily used in a single detached dwelling, a duplex dwelling, or a row or town house. Thie PowerCost Monitor will not work with net metering applications such as wind and solar, or on a business meter that uses demand pricing.

Product review & video

you you tim from blue line here going to go through the installation of a sensor unit on a disk meter starting with putting the batteries in after we put the batteries in the sensor will see the red light flash three times then go off approximately 10 seconds then come on solid we use standard 1.5 volt double-a batteries and the polarity when we put it into the sensor is the positive end down on the side towards the wires and the positive end up on the other side we use a flathead slot head or a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the battery compartment latch a cordless screwdriver really saves some time when closing the latch and putting the bank lamp on the meter for disc meter the sensor should sit right at the three o'clock position on the right hand side and the arm line up to the disc in the middle as you can see I've simply slipped the band clamp over the disc meter and very quickly
