The colour of the LED changes with the rate of consumption that Pipit calculates using the user configured
values of ‘daily target’ and ‘tariff’ (i.e. electricity price). Refer Section 6.7 ‘Changing default settings’ to know how
to adjust these values.
The right-hand LED is green and can be configured to notify receipt of supplier messages; this can be done by
setting the Message Alarm to ‘Lights’ from the Settings menu. If configured, the LED flashes five times on
receipt of a message.
3.4 Battery switch
In the absence of mains power the IHD can be operated using a pair
of non-rechargeable AAA batteries. A battery switch located on the
left-hand side of the IHD unit activates the unit when operating on
batteries. On battery power, the display turns off automatically
approximately 90 seconds after the last user interaction to preserve
battery power. The display can be turned on when required by
pressing the battery switch. A ‘low battery’ icon is displayed at the top
of the screen to indicate when the batteries need to be replaced.
