TED is a new and innovative product designed to provide residential and small business
owners with up-to-the-minute energy use and cost information. Electricity is one of the few
products we purchase, for which we don’t know the cost until weeks after we have used
it. Until the development of TED, you would only nd out the actual cost of the electricity
purchased after the bill arrived in the mail...far too late to do anything about it.
TED is an extremely accurate, precision device. Certain factors, however, such as the date
and time the utility meter is read, the distance between the utility meter and electric panel,
as well as other variables will result in monthly totals recorded by TED being slightly differ-
ent than those measured by your electric utility. Therefore TED may never exactly match
your utility bill.
TED displays up-to-the-minute energy use and cost information in an easy-to-read and
understand format.
• Current energy consumption in kilowatts (kW).
• Current energy cost in dollars and cents per hour ($/hr).
• Energy consumed so far today in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
• Energy cost so far today in dollars and cents ($).
• Energy consumed so far this billing cycle in kWh.
• Energy cost so far this billing cycle in $.
• Projected energy use for current billing cycle in kWh.
• Projected energy cost for current billing cycle in $.
• Peak electrical demand so far this billing cycle in kW.
• Peak use so far this billing cycle in $/hr
• Current voltage in Volts (V)
• Minimum voltage this billing cycle in Volts (V)
• Maximum voltage this billing cycle in Volts (V)
• Current Energy Rate (Tariff) in dollars and cents per kilowatt hour $/kWh
• Current Date & Time
• Timer
• Alarms
• Historical Data for 12 months
TED transmits energy data from the main electric service panel to the display unit over exist-
ing power lines, thus no new wiring is required. TED measures true RMS energy use.
