Simply plug any 120 VAC appliance into Watts up? PRO, and the meter instantaneously displays the wattage being used. Watts up? PRO measures true power (including power factor) which is what utilities charge for, not just RMS voltage.
Press the mode button and the display shows the cumulative amount of kilowatt hours consumed since the meter was plugged in, or last reset. Press the mode button again and the display shows the cumulative time Watts up? PRO has been plugged in, so controlled experiments are easily accomplished. Finally, press the mode button again and the display shows the amount of money the electricity has cost. Watts up? PRO uses a default rate of 8 cents per kilowatt hour, or simply change the rate to match your local area. A 15 amp circuit breaker protects against overloads. Watts up? PRO is UL listed to standard 3111-1.
Watts up? PRO includes memory storage and the ability to download
the data to a PC, in addition to all the standard features of
Watts up?. One thousand data points are stored, starting with a
sampling rate resolution of one second. The sample rate resolution
increases over time (sample rate equals total time divided by 1000)
so years of usage can be accurately recorded. The included serial
cable and software program allows the data to be quickly downloaded
to a PC for creating usage charts.
Included in the software
is a Data Table, Charting, and Payback Analysis, which calculates
the time required for a new energy efficient appliance to pay for
itself. The data can also be exported in a comma-delimited format
to popular spreadsheet programs for further analysis.
This product is also available for rent, $20/week + shipping. |
