Monitoring Modes:

The Besvic Power Meter offers 7 distinct monitoring modes, accessible by pressing the "FVNC" button:

1. Time/Watt/Cost: Displays the elapsed time of monitoring, the current power consumption in Watts (W), and the accumulated cost.
2. Time/Total KWh/Day: Shows the total accumulated kilowatt-hours (KWh) consumed and the duration of monitoring.
3. Time/Voltage/Frequency: Displays the current voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) of the power supply, along with monitoring time.
4. Time/Current/Power Factor: Shows the current (Ampere, A) drawn by the appliance and the power factor, alongside monitoring time.
5. Time/Minimum Power: Displays the lowest power consumption (W) recorded during the monitoring period.
6. Time/Maximum Power: Displays the highest power consumption (W) recorded during the monitoring period.
7. Time/Unit Price: Shows the set unit electricity price.

Overload Warning:

The device is equipped with an overload protection feature. If the power consumption of the connected appliance exceeds 3680W, the LCD screen will display a blinking "OVERLOAD" warning. This indicates that the appliance is drawing too much power and may pose a risk. Disconnect the appliance immediately if this warning appears to prevent damage to the power meter or the appliance.

Figure 4: Overload Protection. This image demonstrates the overload warning feature, showing the power meter display blinking "OVERLOAD" when connected to an appliance drawing more than 3680W.

Memory Function:

The built-in backup battery ensures that all recorded data (cumulative power consumption, cost, etc.) is retained even if the power meter is unplugged from the wall socket or if there is a power outage. This allows for continuous tracking of energy usage without data loss.
