ABOUT ENERGY DISPLAY

The Energy Display allows you to view power consumption of your appliances (current power use, average energy use per month, and averag e cost per month based on your monthly billing rate). Its sleek, compact design uses radio frequency (RF) to communicate and retrieve information from INSTEON power meter devices (e.g., iMeter Solo, #2423A1).

INSTALLATION

Installing Energy Display

NOTE: Energy Display uses 2 AAA batteries which will provide approximately one year of use.
1) Be sure you have properly installed at least one dual-band INSTEON device and an INSTEON meter device (such as iMeter Solo #2423A1)
2) Remove the battery compartment door from the rear of Energy Display
3) Observe the polarity markings, install two AAA batteries , and then replace the battery compartment door
The Energy Display screen will turn on and all the LCD segments will turn on After a few seconds, the screen will go to Display Mod e
Energy Display is now ready to use. See Linking Energy Display to an INSTEON Meter Device receiving energy information about your appliances.

HOW TO SET UP ENERGY DISPLAY TO MONITOR AN APPLIANCE’S POWER CONSUMPTION

Linking Energy Display to an INSTEON Meter Device

Follow these steps to Link Energy Display to an INSTEON meter device (e.g., iMeter Solo). See the meter device’s Owner’s Manual for detailed instructions on how to properly install and Link it to Energy Display.
The following will work for the most common INSTEON devices:
1) Make sure the meter device is properly installed with the appliance you wish to monitor
2) Tap the 1-2-3/Down button until the desired meter position is blinking (Meter 1, 2, or 3)
3) Set Energy Display to Linking Mode by pressing & holding the Set button until it beeps (3 seconds)
The Energy Display Status LED will begin blinkin g GREEN
You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before Linking Mode automatically times out.
4) On the meter device, press & hold the Set button until it beeps (3 seconds)
Energy Display will double-beep and its Status LED will turn off. A few moments later the E nergy Display scr een will display information for the meter device you
are metering

Unlinking an INSTEON Meter Device from Energy Display

If you are no longer going to use an INSTEON meter device, it is very important that you Unlink it. Otherwise, Energy Display will retry gathering information from the unused meter device, thus slowing down the system and reducing battery life.
The following will work on the most common INSTEON devices:
1) Use the 1-2-3,Down button to select the meter device you wish to Unlink
2) Set Energy Display to Linking Mode by pressing & holding the Set button until it beeps (3 seconds)
The Energy Display Status LED will begin blinking GREEN
3) Set Energy Displa y to Unlinking Mode by pressing & holding the Set button un til it beeps again (3 seconds)

ADVANCED FEATURES OF ENERGY DIS P LAY

Restoring Power to Energy Display

Energy Display stores all of its settings, such as Links to other INSTEON devices, with non-volatile memory. Because settings are saved in this non-volatile memory, they will not be lost in the event of a power failure.

Resetting Energy Display to its Factory Default Settings

The factory reset procedure can be used to clear the Energy Display memory and restore its factory default settings. This procedure will clear Energy Display of all INSTEON Links and Setti ngs Mode c hanges. Note: this procedure does not reset any INSTEON meter devices linked to Energy Display.
1) If you are using Energy Display to retrieve power consumption from an INSTEON device, Unlink those devices from Energy Display. See Unlinking an INSTEON Meter Device from Energy Display
2) Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of Energy Display
3) Remove one battery from Energy Display for at least 10 seconds
