Retained Output Mode:
1. If the power supply to the Kill A Watt PS unit is interrupted and then restored, the LCD panel will flash to
alert the user to an interruption. Press any of the function keys to stop the LCD from flashing. The unit
will resume the output mode at time of power interruption. If the unit was ON, when power was removed,
the unit will be ON when power is restored.
Meter Functions:
1.
Volt/Amp key:
Pressing the Volt/Amp key repeatedly will cycle through displaying the currently
measured AC line voltage (in Volts) with the currently measured load current (in Amps), the maximum
measured voltage/current (indicated by the MAX icon) and the minimum measured voltage/current
(indicated by the MIN icon). The display will return to the currently measured values after a few seconds.
Pressing and holding the Volt/Amp key for a few seconds will delete the memorized MAX/MIN values.
The measured load current is the sum of all connected appliances.
2.
Watt/PF key:
Pressing the Watt/PF key repeatedly will cycle through displaying the currently measured
appliance power consumption (in Watts) with the currently measured power factor (in %), the maximum
measured watts/PF (indicated by the MAX icon) and the minimum measured watts/PF (indicated by the
MIN icon). The display will return to the currently measured values after a few seconds. Pressing and
holding the Watt/PF key for a few seconds will delete the memorized MAX/MIN values. The measured
power consumption is the sum of all connected appliances.
3. KWH/Leakage key:
Pressing the KWH/Leakage key repeatedly will cycle through displaying the
cumulative appliance power consumption (in Kilowatt Hours) since last reset with the currently
measured leakage current (in milliamps), the maximum measured leakage current (indicated by the
MAX icon) and the minimum measured leakage current (indicated by the MIN icon). The display will
return to the currently measured values after a few seconds. Pressing and holding the KWH/Leakage
key for a few seconds will delete the memorized MAX/MIN values for leakage current. There are no
MAX/MIN values for KWH as it is a cumulative value.
IF YOU NOTE SIGNIFICANT LEAKAGE
CURRENT MEASUREMENTS STOP USING THE CONNECTED APPLIANCE(S) IMMEDIATELY
AND HAVE IT SERVICED
4.
Elapsed Time key:
Pressing the Elapsed time key repeatedly will cycle through displaying the elapsed
time of energy usage in Days:Hours and Hours:Minutes. Pressing and holding the Elapsed Time key for
a few seconds will reset the elapsed time counter to zero and will clear cumulative KWH measurement.
Be sure you have taken note of KWH measurements (if desired) before you reset as they cannot be
retrieved once reset.
Retained Measurements:
1. When power to the Kill A Watt
™
PS
is interrupted, the display will go blank and the unit will stop
measuring consumption and elapsed time. However all accumulated measurements including KWH and
Elapsed Time will be retained.
2. This allows the user to take measurements anywhere and relocate the unit to a more convenient
location to read the display. When the unit is plugged back in, the display will become active and will
flash as an indicator of power interruption. Press any key momentarily to cancel the flashing. The
accumulated KWH measurement can be retrieved by using the KWH/Leakge key. The accumulated
elapsed time can be retrieved by using the Elapsed Time key. Data should be retrieved immediately as
the Elapsed Time counter will restart and potentially skew the data as time with no load elapses.
3. Pressing and holding the Elapsed Time key for a few seconds will reset the elapsed time counter to zero
and will clear cumulative KWH measurement. Be sure you have taken note of KWH measurements (if
desired) before you reset as they cannot be retrieved once reset.
