Cheers mate looks like you just have to press the reset then reload the unit cost

No gret shakes

AT,
Assuming that yours is the same unit as mine,cycle through, pressing the left hand button for last power useage.
To reset,dis-connect power briefly.= Blank screen.
If needed to re-enter cost settings,press both outer buttons until figures flash.
cycle up or down by pressing or holding right or centre buttons.
Does that help?

Robert.

The one I use is called Energenie and retails here for €12.50 but are offered on Amazon for GBP12.99 that's about €16. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Energenie-ENER0 ... ower+meter

First time I've ever seen anything like that cheaper over here I usually import from the UK because it's cheaper

Got one of these and they're brilliant value for money and do exactly what I want

However looks like the instruction sheets been chucked out so cn someone tell me how to reset the total cost of power used to zero (assuming you can) as I would like to easily cost each run

Thanks for putting me straight.
Never got on with the goons,with hindsight,it maybe down to the quality of loudspeakers we had then,it was shrill,squeaky,rattling around your head and making my eyes pop.
Certainly,in later years,and with better speakers I came to like the work of Spike and Sellers.
Hope your liquor boiled to your contentment.

Anarvin. Like the expiry dates on things you really want to eat or the recommended daily intake of fermented beverages ... actual results may vary.

ED Neddy ? Is that you??

Just a note on these, it states the power range is upto 2900 watt but mine measures higher, I've had my element on full and it quite happy measures 3050ish, not sure how high it can go but it's not limited to what's on the label.

I'm with those who recommend this piece of kit. It is ideal for knowing what watt's what. I faffed around with digital and analogue gauges till I read ED's recommendation to use one of these. Sweet as and ideal for the T500 (1800 watts). I have been happily using this with a cheap ebay controller on my T500 (1800 w) for many happy run hours.

Got it today. Works great, just one question though as the destructions arnt too clear about programming the price, when inputting the cost in pence per kW/h the format is 00.00

Think my electrons cost 10.71p per kW/h, so do I put 10.71 or 00.11( rounded up to 11p)

I think I should use 00.11, I set this and boiled 1 litre of water in my kettle for 1p

Does anyone know if that sounds right?

It's just a little under rated for my 3kw element but I never run it flat out anyway, so I think I'll pick one up, cheers guys
