Intended use
The product is used to measure and display the power consumption of electrical devices. The product is connected between the mains socket and the electrical load and requires no additional installation. Operation is only permissible when connected to an earthed household mains socket. The max. admissible power rating of the connected load must not be exceeded (see chapter “Technical data”).
Two different electricity tariffs can be entered for cost calculation (e.g. for day/night-time electricity).
Furthermore, the CO2 emissions of your electricity tariff can be entered. The energy logger can then show how much CO2 was produced while the connected load was used (or how much CO2 production was prevented when using electricity from sustainable sourced compared to a normal electricity tariff).
The saved data can also be displayed when not connected to a mains socket since in this case, the power is supplied by an integrated Supercap capacitor.
The energy logger is not officially calibrated and therefore must not be used for billing purposes.
It may only be used in dry indoor locations. The product must not become damp or wet.

Operation
A Supercap condenser is integrated into the energy logger, which is used to operate/program the device without having to plug it into a mains socket (for around 10 minutes).
The capacitor is usually in an uncharged state upon delivery/ start-up. Therefore, the energy logger can only be operated/programmed when it is plugged directly into a mains socket upon start-up.
You can unplug the energy logger from the mains socket and program it, e.g. in sufficient light in the living room or office, only when the capacitor is sufficiently charged (after around 50 minutes).
For energy saving reasons, the display backlight only works when the energy logger is plugged into a mains socket.
If the energy logger is operated without plugging it into a mains socket and the super-cap capacitor becomes empty, the time is lost. You must then set these again.
The energy logger shows the current consumption even without an SD card inserted. This is indicated by a green light on the LED ring (8).
Unplug the energy logger from the power socket
To insert the SD card, pull out the cover (10), insert the card and push it back into the housing and plug the energy logger into a power socket. Then the blue light flashes. You have to set the time so that the data can be stored on SD card. Make sure the SD card (not included) is inserted before using the energy logger to log the measured data. Now the blue light on the LED ring (8) flashes. You must set the time so that the data can be saved on 66
the SD card. Make sure that the SD card (not included in the scope of delivery) is inserted before you use the energy logger to record the measurement data. Firmware upgrade function only supports FAT32.
9.1 Connecting devices
You can connect a load (example: space heater) or connect a suitable energy source to backfeed electricity (example: solar panel). Disconnect any devices that may be connected to the energy
logger. Plug the energy logger into an earthed household mains
socket (230 V/AC, 50 Hz). On start-up, wait until the normal display appears. If the device you want to connect to the energy logger has a mains switch, switch it off. Plug the mains plug of the device into the earthed mains socket on the front of the energy logger. Switch the connected device on and wait a few seconds until the energy logger shows the first measured data. Before you can use all functions of the energy logger, you must first implement a few settings (e.g. time, electricity tariff).
Important: The data cannot be properly stored on the SD card until the date and time have been configured and set.
