BATTERY REPLACEMENT5.
Observe correct polarity while inserting the batteries. Remove the batteries if the appliance
is not used for a long period of time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged
batteries might cause acid burns when contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective
gloves to handle them.
Keep batteries out of reach of children. Do not leave the battery lying around, as there is
risk, which children or domestic pets could swallow it.
Make sure that batteries are not dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into re. Never
recharge/ charge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
With built-in battery, you can set saved data, recordings and tariff setting even if the Energy Monitor 3000 is not
connected to mains outlet. To save battery power, the LC Display switches off automatically 60 seconds after
the unit is disconnected from mains outlet.
Battery Compartment Cover Battery Compartment

Replace the battery compartment cover and fasten the screws.3.
MAINTENANCE6.
When cleaning or servicing, the device must be disconnected from every source of operation voltage.
Clean the device and LC Display with dry, soft and anti-static cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents!
DISPOSAL7.
General
In order to preserve, protect and improve the quality of environment, protect human health and
utilise natural resources prudently and rationally, the user should return unserviceable product to
relevant facilities in accordance with statutory regulations.
The crossed-out wheeled bin indicates the product needs to be disposed separately and not as
municipal waste.
Batteries / rechargeable batteries
The user is legally obliged (battery regulation) to return used batteries and rechargeable batteries.
Disposing used batteries in the household waste is prohibited! Batteries/ rechargeable
batteries containing hazardous substances are marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin. The
symbol indicates that the product is forbidden to be disposed via the domestic refuse. The
chemical symbols for the respective hazardous substances are Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury,
Pb = Lead.
You can return used batteries/ rechargeable batteries free of charge to any collecting point of your
local authority, our stores or where batteries/ rechargeable batteries are sold.

ENERGY MONITOR 3000
Item No. 12 53 29
INTENDED USE1.
The “Energy monitor 3000” provides a simple way to measure the energy consumption and monitor the
current, voltage and frequency of electrical appliances. The measure range is from 1.5 to 3000 Watts. If these
limits are exceeded, the device will no longer be accurate. The device is only authorised to connected to
mains outlet (230 V/50 Hz) and with current less than 13 A. Even though the device is very accurate, it is not
ofcially certied for the account of cost of electricity between power supplier and consumer. The device is only
authorised to use in dry indoor, outdoor use is forbidden.
This product fulls European and national requirements related to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
CE conformity has been veried and the relevant statements and documents have been deposited at
the manufacturer.
Unauthorised conversion and/or modication of the device are inadmissible because of safety and approval
reasons (CE). Any usage other than described above is not permitted and can damage the product and lead to
associated risks such as short-circuit, re, electric shock, etc. Please read the operating instructions thoroughly
and keep them for further reference.
