Operation Manual
Thank you for purchasing the P4490 Kill A Watt
®
Edge. This operating manual will provide
an overview of the product, safety instructions, a quick guide to operation, and complete
instructions for correct usage. Take the time to completely review these instructions as well
as safety warnings to ensure your best use of the product.
You can use the Kill A Watt
®
Edge unit to check your appliances electric consumption, cost to
run, equivalent CO2 emissions, and as a standby killer to shut down your appliances when they
are not used, and are in standby mode. The unit combines human motion detection by PIR
(Passive Infrared) sensor detection, and sensing the appliance’s standby power level, to control
the flow of AC power automatically. AC power will be provided automatically when users are
present and standby power will be cut off automatically when they leave the room to save energy,
save CO2 emissions to help protect the earth. A power killer function is available so that the
unit operates as a conventional motion-activated switch. The power killer mode will shut off
power to appliances regardless of standby power after a settable delay. The power killer
function is ideal for space heaters, humidifiers, etc.
The Kill A Watt
®
Edge is also easy to read thanks to a tether feature that allows you to perch
your meter nearby the item you are measuring without having to bend over or unplug the
device to view data. Keep the housing mated together in a single unit for compact use – or
separate the two modules to allow for easy reading or precise placement of the PIR motion
sensor.
Advanced features also included :

Monitoring Voltage, Amperage, Watt, KWH, Elapsed Time, Costs and CO2 emissions.
Displaying Amperage, Watt, KWH, Elapsed Time, Costs and CO
2 emissions savings.
Over current protection to provide safe power to your expensive equipment.
Zero power crossing switches provide a spike free ON/OFF relay control to prolong your
appliances life.
