There are 6 different alarms that can be set. Any combination of the 6 alarms may be
set....none, one, some, or all. Depressing the MODE Key will advance from one alarm
to the next. We recommend that you operate TED for a substantial length of time
to determine which, if any, alarms you want to use based on observation of your
typical readings.
Once set, the alarm will sound when the Cost-Per-Hour “$/H”
gure exceeds the LIMIT set by the user. Example: If
the user wishes to be notied when the $/H exceeds
$1.20, the user will have entered “$1.20” as the LIMIT for
the alarm. Each time $1.20 is exceeded, TED will enter
Alarm Mode.
$ PER HOUR ALARM
Alarm Mode
Once set, the alarm will sound when the Power Usage “KW”
gure exceeds the LIMIT set by the user. Example: If the
user wishes to be notied when the KW exceeds 10.00,
the user will have entered 10.00 as the LIMIT for the
alarm. Each time 10.00KW is exceeded, TED will enter
Alarm Mode.
NOTE: If your Utility is having supply problems, they may
wish to advise you to keep below a certain KW during
high demand periods. This is a good way to monitor the
load and help out!
KW ALARM
Once set, TED will enter Alarm Mode. When the total month-
to-date use gure exceeds the LIMIT set by the user. If
the user is on a budget, xed income, or just wishes to
keep up with monthly spending, TED’s alarm scheduled
at periodic intervals throughout the month (i.e. at $50,
$75, $100) would notify the user as the spending LIMIT
is reached.

What happens in Alarm Mode
• The LED will ash red instead of green.
• A pop-up screen will tell you which alarm was exceeded.
• An audible alarm will sound for 30 seconds (unless silent alarm
mode is selected).
• Pressing any key silences the audible alarm and returns to
previous display.
• LED will continue to ash red until use falls below set limit.
(Hold down p and MODE simultaneously for 2 seconds)
