Now, the Black & Decker Power Monitor is ready to

work for you.

10 USING YOUR POWER MONITOR

Measure the Consumption of a

Single Appliance with Tare

Feedback on your electricity consumption will help you change your energy habits,

resulting in lower electricity bills. Many households have saved up to 20% off their

electricity bills by using the Power Monitor (see www.blackanddecker.com for more

information on these studies).

Note: Tare mode works in both Cost and Power views. Total consumption is

not affected by Tare mode.

We recommend these steps after Power Monitor setup:

1. Use the TARE feature to measure the consumption of major appliances.

2. Show the device and your electricity bill to your children. Teach them how much it

costs to use the dishwasher, take a long shower, or leave lights on.You will

experience the greatest savings when your children learn along with you.

3. Place the Digital Display in a central location, such as the kitchen, where every

member of the family will see it and keep their energy consumption top-of-mind.

Checking the outside temperature is a great reason to look at it every day.

4. Make your home more energy efficient by sealing thermal leaks, adding insulation,

and replacing inefficient appliances. You can learn more about energy-related home

improvements from ENERGY STAR®, at www.energystar.gov

11 TROUBLESHOOTING AND Q&A

A. I am unsure of my electric meter type. How can I find out which type

of meter I have?

The photos in section 03 of the Instruction Manual show the various kinds of electric

meters that we have grouped under three types: electromechanical; electronic with optical

port on face; electronic with optical port on top.

The majority of existing meters fall under one of these generic types. Determine which

photo most closely matches your meter, and remember to follow the installation

instructions for that meter type. Also, find the meter’s Power Factor on the face of the

meter and write it in the box labeled “Power Factor.” The Power Factor is a number

(usually 1.0 or 7.2) preceded by two letters (usually Kh or Ks or Kt). Proceed with the

preparation steps in order and follow the installation instructions for that meter type.

After installing the Meter Sensor on my meter and pressing the RESET

button, nothing happens. The red indicator does not light up.

The STATUS light in the Sensor should light up solid red within 10 seconds after

pressing the RESET switch. If it does not, try these steps:

1. Confirm that the batteries are inserted in the correct orientation. + and – symbols are

printed on the green circuit board inside the battery compartment.

2. Confirm that the batteries are not dead. We recommend lithium batteries for longer life

in freezing conditions.

3. Confirm that the battery lid is closed and screwed down. The lid has to be fastened

down for the batteries to make contact.

C. The red STATUS indicator on my Meter Sensor is flashing rapidly, and

I cannot proceed with the installation as described.

The fast flashing indicates that the Meter Sensor has not received a signal from the

meter, or can not see the rotating meter wheel, after 20 minutes of trying. Follow the

steps in Section 3 to make sure the Sensor is properly aligned on your meter.

Then press the RESET button. The indicator will turn off and light up again after 10

seconds.You can then proceed with the installation normally.

My Meter Sensor STATUS LED is flashing regularly, but every now and

then, there is an extra flash. Is there anything wrong with my unit?

This is exactly what you should see. Electronic meters produce one single pulse every

time you have consumed one watt-hour. When the Meter Sensor first detects a pulse from

an electronic meter, the STATUS indicator starts flashing. Thereafter, the indicator keeps

on flashing at the same frequency. In addition, it will flash once every time it reads a pulse

from your meter, at intervals that vary according to your current rate of electricity

consumption. This periodic irregular flashing is absolutely normal.

Dashes and loss of the animated bars indicate the Digital Display has lost contact

with the sensor. The battery may be dead or it may be too far away.

If contact with the Meter Sensor is lost, the Digital Display goes to sleep to save

battery life. Change Meter Sensor batteries or move closer to the electric meter,

then press any button to wake up and try to regain contact.

When I try to synchronize my Digital Display and Meter Sensor, the Digital

Display keeps showing “id” on the screen.

This indicates that the Digital Display is in ID mode, meaning that it is searching for your

Meter Sensor. Press the RESET button on the Meter Sensor. If the Digital Display remains

in ID mode, move it to a location between 2 and 10 feet (60 cm to 3m) of the Meter

Sensor, and then press the RESET button again.

Indicates batteries need to be replaced in the Meter Sensor or the Digital Display.

The power usage shown on the Digital Display is low or does not match

what it should be.

You may have entered the wrong Power Factor (Kh), which calibrates the Digital Display

11 TROUBLESHOOTING AND Q&A

My Digital Display is showing SLEEP and dashes. What do I do?

to your electric meter. Use the tare feature to measure the consumption of your microwave

or toaster, and compare the value on the Digital Display to the value marked on the

nameplate of the appliance. If the numbers are off by a factor of 2 or more, you need to

change the Power Factor. Refer to section 03 in the Instruction Manual. Go out to your

electric meter and confirm the Power Factor (sometimes labeled Ks or Kt). On some larger

homes, there may be a sticker on the meter indicating that your utility has changed the

meter's Power Factor. Then, follow the programming instructions to enter a new value into

the Digital Display.

This indicates that the Digital Display is not receiving transmissions from the Meter

Sensor, and the Display has gone to sleep to save battery life. Press any button on the

Display to wake it up. If the Display does not show data within two minutes, try these

steps, in order:

1. Move the Display closer to the Sensor. The Power Monitor has a range of about 60 ft.

(20 m), including transmission through an exterior wall. The range may be less if there

are metal walls or beams between the Sensor and the Display. Also, the range may

decrease as the batteries in the Sensor lose power, or in extremely cold weather. We

recommend lithium batteries for the Sensor if the temperature falls below freezing.

2. Inspect the Meter Sensor. Make sure that the batteries are not dead, and that the

Sensor is still properly aligned on the meter. Press the RESET button on the Sensor. The

STATUS light should light up solid, then begin flashing slowly (once per revolution for an

electromechanical meter). Refer to Section 3 if you need to re-align your Sensor.

3. Re-synchronize the Sensor and the Display. Bring the Display to within 2 feet of the

Sensor. Press and hold the prog/sync button on the Display until you hear two beeps and

the Display says “id”. Then press and hold the RESET button on the Sensor for 6

seconds. When you release the RESET button, the Display should beep, and “id” will

disappear. After two minutes, the Display should show data.

The consumption information shown on my Digital Display is not correct

and it jumps randomly.

Several factors can affect the accuracy of the info rmation shown on your Digital Display and

they all relate to interference. If your neighbor also has a Power Monitor system, you may be

receiving their information. In this case, you need to change the Meter Sensor address and

re-synchronize the Digital Display. Repeat section 04 in the Instruction Manual, but press and

hold the RESET button for five (5) seconds.The Meter Sensor then selects a new address

randomly on which to base the synchronization. Wireless devices, such as weather stations or

old-style baby monitors and cordless phones, transmit infor mation on frequencies similar to the

Power Monitor. If you have a wireless weather station, try turning it off briefly and check to see

if the Power Monitor Display re t u rns to normal operation. If it does, then check to see if you

can change the weather station’s operating channel.

K. The power usage shown on my Digital Display is not updating or is

unusually low.

H. The Sensor Battery indicator shows a low battery level, but I installed fresh

batteries not long ago.

Try turning on an electric appliance that consumes a large amount of power such as a

stove or dryer. If the values on the Digital Display do not start to update within a few

minutes, then the Meter Sensor is likely not aligned correctly on your utility meter. Try

repeating the appropriate alignment steps described in the Instruction Manual.

Regular alkaline batteries can become exhausted very rapidly when it is extremely cold

outside. If you are expecting an extended period of temperatures below 32°F (0°C), try

using lithium type AA batteries in the Meter Sensor. These batteries are commonly

available wherever you can buy batteries and they provide better performance in cold

weather.

The temperature shown on the Digital Display does not match weather reports

or appears to be incorrect.

The temperature shown on the Digital Display is the ambient temperature at your utility

meter; it may vary from other sources, such as TV weather reports, because of distance

and other factors. Also, if your utility meter is exposed to direct sunlight during any part of

the day, then the reading will be higher than normal. The reading will return to the correct

value when the utility meter is in the shade.

The Meter Sensor appears to have detected my meter properly, but I only

see dashes (--) on my Digital Display.

This indicates that the Digital Display is not receiving transmissions from the Meter Sensor. Try

these steps, in ord e r:

My Digital Display behaves erratically and shows illogical values.

1. Move the Display closer to the Sensor. The Power Monitor has a range of about 60 ft.

(20 m), including transmission through an exte rior wall. The range may be less if there are

metal walls or beams between the Sensor and the Display. Also, the range may decrease

as the batte ries in the Sensor lose power, or in extremely cold weather. We recommend

lithium batte ries for the Sensor if the temperature falls below freezing.

2. Inspect the Meter Sensor. Make sure that the batte ries are not dead, and that the Sensor

is still properly aligned on the meter. Press the RESET button on the Sensor. The STATUS

light should light up solid, then begin flashing slowly (once per revolution for an electro

mechanical meter). Refer to Section 3 if you need to re-align your Sensor.

3. Re-synchronize the Sensor and the Display. B ring the Display to within 2 feet of the

Sensor. Press and hold the prog/sync button on the Display until you hear two beeps and

the Display says “id”. Then press and hold the RESET button on the Sensor for 6 seconds.

When you release the RESET button, the Display should beep, and “id” will disappear.

After two minutes, the Display should show data.

Should your Digital Display start displaying any unexpected values, reset it to the factory

settings by pressing on the prog/sync and clr keys simultaneously. However, doing so will

erase all your existing rate entries and you will have to follow the instructions in this

Instruction Manual to set up and program your Digital Display again.

The total shown on my Digital Display does not match the total shown on

my electricity bill.

In order for the two totals to match, you would need to clear the totals on the Digital

Display on the exact day and time the utility company reads your meter. In addition, your

electricity bill may include fixed fees or taxes that are not proportional to your electric

usage. The total amount shown on the Power Monitor is accurate, but is really meant as a

reference to indicate how much power you have consumed since you last cleared the

totals. For example, if you clear the totals at the beginning of every monthly cycle, then

you can use the Power Monitor to compare against your monthly budget.

How Electricity is Measured

Power is the ability to do work. Electric power is measured in Watts (W), and for large

values, in kilowatts (1000 Watts, or kW). A typical incandescent light bulb consumes 60

Watts. A typical microwave oven consumes 1 to 2 kilowatts.

Energy is power used over a period of time. Electric energy is measured in kilowatt-hours

(kWh). If you leave a 60W light on for one hour, it consumes 60 Watt-hours, or 0.06 kWh.

If you leave a 2 kW microwave oven on for 15 minutes, it consumes 0.5 kWh.
