Introduction
Thank you for choosing the DeWin Digital Energy Meter Plug. This device is designed to help you monitor the electricity consumption of your household appliances, enabling you to understand and manage your energy usage more effectively. It features a clear LCD display, multiple monitoring modes, and essential safety functions like overload protection.
Safety Information
- Overload Protection: The energy meter plug is equipped with an overload protection feature. If the connected load exceeds 3680W, the display will show "OVERLOAD" and an audible alarm will sound. Simultaneously, the meter will cut off the power supply to ensure safety.
- Do not exceed the maximum rated current of 16A or power of 3680W.
- Ensure the device is used in a dry environment and avoid contact with water or other liquids.
- Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the device yourself. Contact qualified personnel for service.
- Keep out of reach of children. The safety socket design helps prevent accidental insertion by children.

Operating Modes
The DeWin Energy Meter Plug offers 7 monitoring modes to provide comprehensive data on your appliance's electricity consumption. Press the FUNC button to cycle through these modes.
Image: A visual representation of the 7 different display modes available on the energy meter. Each mode shows specific parameters like time, power (watts), cost, accumulated energy (kWh), voltage, current (amperes), frequency (Hz), power factor, and maximum/minimum power.
- Time / Watt / Cost: Displays the operating time, real-time power consumption in Watts, and the current cost.
- Time / Power Consumption / Day (kWh): Shows the operating time and accumulated energy consumption in kWh. Note: For intermittent appliances like freezers, the power cannot be calculated directly based on continuous operation time.
- Time / Voltage / Frequency: Displays the operating time, real-time voltage (V), and frequency (Hz).
- Time / Ampere / Power Factor: Shows the operating time, real-time current (A), and power factor.
- Time / Minute Watt (Minimum Power): Displays the operating time and the minimum recorded power consumption in Watts.
- Time / Maximum Watt (Maximum Power): Displays the operating time and the maximum recorded power consumption in Watts.
- Time / Price Display (Cost/kWh): Allows setting and displaying the unit price of electricity (Euro/KWH).
Setting Electricity Price (Dual Tariff):
The meter supports two tariffs, allowing you to set different electricity prices for different times of the day or specific periods. This helps in more accurate cost monitoring.
- Press the COST button to enter the price setting mode.
- Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the unit price (Euro/KWH).
- Follow on-screen prompts to set Tariff 1 and Tariff 2 if applicable.
Resetting Data:
To clear all accumulated data (time, cost, kWh), press and hold the FUNC button for a few seconds until the display resets.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspection: Periodically check the plug and socket for any signs of damage or wear.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display is blank or not turning on. | No power from the wall socket; device not properly plugged in. | Ensure the meter is securely plugged into a live wall socket. Check the wall socket with another appliance. |
| "OVERLOAD" message appears and power cuts off. | Connected appliance exceeds the maximum power rating (3680W). | Unplug the appliance. Reduce the load or use an appliance within the meter's power limits. |
| Readings seem inaccurate. | Incorrect settings; device malfunction. | Ensure electricity price settings are correct. Try resetting the device (hold FUNC button). If problem persists, contact support. |
| Backlight turns off too quickly. | Normal operation. | The backlight is designed to turn off automatically after 10 seconds of inactivity to save power. Press any button to reactivate. |
