7. Pressing the Watt/PF Key will cycle through currently measured active power (Watts), power factor (%)
and Maximum/Minimum measured values.
8. Pressing the KWH/Leakage key will cycle through cumulative kilowatt hours (KWH), currently measured
leakage current (mA) and Maximum/Minimum measured values (leakage current only).
9. Pressing the Elapsed Time key will cycle through time in Days:Hours and Hours:Minutes.
10. Review the complete operating instructions to familiarize yourself with all features.
Installation:
1.
Remove the protective film (if any) covering the LCD meter display by pulling the tab marked “REMOVE
BEFORE USE”.
2. Turn off all appliances before connection to the unit and remove their power cords from the outlet.
Connect the Kill A Watt
™
PS unit to the outlet and the appliances to the unit.
3. The LCD display will be flashing. This is normal when the unit is first connected to power and when
power is restored after an interruption. Press any of the function keys to stop the LCD from flashing.
4. If you want to reset KWH and time measurements, hold the Elapsed Time key down for 3 seconds.
Previous measurements will be deleted and the total accumulated KWH and Elapsed Time
measurements will be reset to zero
ON/OFF Key Function
1. Pressing the OFF key will turn off power to the 10 outlets at once. The OFF key will illuminate in red.
The unit will continue to measure power (e.g. Voltage, Time) and the function keys and LCD display will
continue to operate.
2. Pressing the ON key will turn power on to the 10 built-in outlets at once. The unit features a spike-free
switch function which activates at zero-crossing and will present clean power to your connected
appliances. The ON key will illuminate in green. The unit will measure power and the function keys and
LCD display will operate.
3. While the unit is turned ON, if all loads to the unit are removed then the No Load function will detect this
condition and automatically turn off power to the 10 built-in outlets. Both the ON and OFF keys will be
dark and a “NO Load” indicator will flash on the display. THIS IS NORMAL and is a safety feature. When
the electrical load is reapplied, the unit will automatically turn ON, illuminate the ON key and energize
the 10 built-in outlets. While in the No Load mode, you can turn the unit off by pressing the OFF key.
The OFF key will illuminate in red and power will not be applied to the outlets.
Understanding the No Load Function
1. No Load means no electrical load placed on the unit. Either there are no appliances connected to the
unit or the appliances connected are turned off and are not drawing any stand-by power. If a connected
appliance is turned off but is still drawing stand-by power, there is still a load placed on the unit. The unit
will not enter the No Load mode.
2. The No Load function provides safety by removing electrical power from all connected cords and
appliances when they are turned off. This is important because normally, even when an appliance is
turned off, the electrical cord and part of the appliance are still energized by electricity. If the cord or
appliance is cut, opened or frayed, electrical shock or damage can occur. When the unit is in No Load
mode, these cords are not energized which prevents these problems. It is still important that all
damaged equipment and cords are repaired or replaced immediately. The No Load function is not a
replacement for proper maintenance.
