accuracy of the time and date, & is capable of receiving signals
from several distant radio beacons. This mode enables a
particular beacon to be selected. The signals available are DCF
in Germany which covers most of Europe: MSF located in
Cumbria which covers all the UK: WWVB in America which
covers the USA, Canada and the Middle East & JJY for Japan and
parts of China. If there is no signal the radio icon will extinguish,
but the clock will still keep excellent time anyway
Set time zone. It is also unlikely that you will ever need to use
this mode. As mentioned in 11 above the Saveometer receives
radio signals from one of several geographically spread
transmitters, some of which may give a time that is not in line
with the location where the Saveometer is located. When this
occurs the time may be “offset” by precisely one or several
hours, either forward or backwards. This enables users to make
an appropriate correction, in one hour increments or
decrements, so that the correct time is always shown.
Reset to default values. This mode resets all the variable
settings that you have made to the original factory default
values – as listed in the right hand column.
Linking a display to an existing electricity transmitter. Install
fully charged batteries, & set the time/date manually (mode 1).
Then select mode 14 and press S & you will see the word
“register” on the display. Within 60 seconds press the green
button on the transmitter until the red LED starts to blink &
release. The red LED will soon stop blinking & the new display
will have been linked to the transmitter. In about 10 seconds the
display will show your current electricity cost per hour. You may
connect up to 25 displays to each transmitter, and they will read
identically.
Currency choice – these are £ $ € and ¥
Modes 16 – 21 require a separate gas transmitter. When a gas transmitter is connected
the following modes become available, and until that time these modes remain hidden.
Set gas price (per Kilowatt Hour or kWh). Gas prices vary between
suppliers & you may wish to alter the default setting. For the best way to
work out your appropriate setting please to refer to page 15.
Zero the total cost of gas used. This total may be reset to zero at any
time. For example, some users may wish to monitor their gas costs over
6 month periods, while some commercial activities using more gas may
chose to monitor costs every day, or week or fortnight. This feature
provides a total of your gas costs over any period of your choice. Zeroing
total costs does not interfere with any other stored data. As a safety
measure to avoid accidental erasure, you will be prompted by the lower
display during this mode to hold the > button down for 6 seconds, & then
confirm (see word “SURE?”) you really do wish to proceed to zero the total
cost by pressing S
