Panel Operation

The first mode of LCD is total current, s witching with the five-sided button down to show the regular
sequence of current info, max. current, inner temp. and network info as shown below:

 When the LCD menu shows current info, hold the five-sided button in the middle for 3 seconds until

a long beep sounds to enter alarm current setting.

1. For modification of alarm current, press to increase the alarm current by 0.5A in

each press.

2. After increasing to the maximal alarm current, the value will return back to 0.5A

again, and this will cycle.

3. Once the alarm current reaches the wanted value, hold the five-sided button in

the middle for 3 seconds until a "beep" sounds to end the setting.

 When the LCD shows the m aximum total current rec ord, hold the five-sided button in the middle

for 3 seconds until a long beep sounds to adjust it to a zero point.

 When the LCD menu s hows network info, hold the five-sided button for 10 seconds until two

beeps sound to enter reset mode.

2.2 Installation Precautions

 Please set the maximum power-off protection allowed by power circuit as per the rated current

information indicated on the device with ref erence to the local state rules, safety procedur es and
disconnector deviation.

 The unit can only be connected to a grounded power outlet or system.

 Make sure the total current output of all the connected systems is within the rated current indicated

on the device.

 The test results of this device may be inaccurate giving unstable power supply.

 Avoid using this device in places near water or moisture environments.

In order to avoid a fire hazard or risk of electric shock, do not expose the product to
rain or moisture.

 Use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer only.

 Please avoid any items or liquids entering the device because their contact with dangerous voltage

points or short-circuit parts may cause a fire or electric shock.

2.3 Hardware Installation
