The ClimateSmartelectrician has installed a wireless power monitor to help you
keep tabs on your energy consumption in real time, so that you can find out which
appliances are wasting power in your home.
Your wireless power monitor has a number of settings which provide you with
measurements for your total household power use, greenhouse gas emissions and
estimated costs so you can see where you use the most power in your household and
in turn, where greater cost savings can be made!
Your wireless power monitor also has a daily alarm function which we haveprogrammed for your hou sehold daily energy challenge. To make your daily energy
challenge more exciting you can refer to the programming instruction on page 16 to
reduce your daily alarm. To get the best out of your power monitor please refer to the
detailed instruction on page 13.
The monitor is really good. It shows you what electricity youre using
and you learn to know which appliances use the most electricity.
Thats a great benefit. It helps you be more efficient.

Did you know that stand-by power consumes approximately 10 per cent of household
power? So, remembering to switch off your stand-by appliances at the wall is well
worth the effort. To help make this easier for you, weve installed a set of handy
stand-by power eliminators so that you can turn off appliances easily around your
home all by remote control.
How does it work?During your service the electrician would have supplied and installed, where suitable,
four (4) stand-by eliminators around your home. Have a look around your home for
products that you often leave on stand-by because you simply forget to turn them
off or the power point is too hard to get to on a regular basis. This is where the four
stand-by eliminators should be installed. Simply plug them in and follow the step by
step instructions on page 22 to connect the eliminators with your remote control.
Once youre set up, put your remote in a place where you will
see it each day to remind you to turn off your appliances on
stand-by. For some, it might be handy to turn off all appliances
on stand-by when you turn off the TV at night. If this is you then
leave your stand-by eliminator remote with your TV remote. For
others, the front door might be a better place so you see your
remote on the way out of your home. Were all different so work
out whats best for you.
Your stand-by eliminators
Did you know?Turning off items on stand-by also helps safe-guard against
damage during storms and power surges, reducing fire risk
and extending your appliances lifespan.
To turn off all of your products simply hit the 'Power' button on your remote
and youre done! Its that simple.
The light globes provided during your service are energy efficient
compact fluorescent light globes (CFLs)and use much less energy
than standard incandescent light globes.
Your CFLsCFLs use as little as 20 per cent of the energy of standard incandescent
light globes to produce the same amount of light. CFLs last much longer
than normal incandescent light globes with a life of up to 15,000 hours.
Your ClimateSmart CFLs are 15W warm white globes.
If the CFLs offered as part of the ClimateSmartHome Service are
unsuitable for your households light fittings other CFLs are availablefrom most lighting suppliers, hardware stores and major supermarkets.
CFLs come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, tones and wattages,
helping you to choose the level of brightness suitable for your rooms
and light fittings.
Colour rangeThe following CFL colour options are typically available from your local retailer:
:: Warm white providing a soft, warm light comparable to light provided by
traditional incandescent light globes and supplied as part of the ClimateSmart
Home Service
:: Cool white providing neutral light comparable to office lighting
:: Daylight similar to outdoor light comparable to midday lighting conditions.
Breaks and disposalsCFLs can be disposed of in regular garbage bins, where the garbage goes to landfill.
However, when placing CFLs in the garbage, it is best to wrap them in a way that will
prevent them from breaking.
If the CFL does break, careful handling and disposal is recommended as a precaution as
CFLs contain a very small amount of mercury (5mg on average equivalent to the tip of
a ball point pen) which is sealed in the glass tubing.
Yourlightglobes
Quick Tip: If youd like further information on disposal and cleaning up ofa broken CFL, please visit www.climatesmart.qld.gov.au or you can call
the Queensland Government Department of Environment and ResourceManagement on 1300 130 372.

What is a tariff?A tariff is the unit cost of electricity charged by your electricity retailer. Did you know
that by connecting certain appliances to different tariffs based on their usage you can
potentially make significant savings on your power bills?
In Queensland, there are three main tariffs for domestic use:
Tariff 11 Peak tariffTariff 11 is the most common electricity unit cost as it provides a continuous supply of
power. For this reason it is charged at a higher supply rate and is used for all lights and
power points throughout your home.
Tariff 31 Off-peak tariffCommonly referred to as the Super Economy Plan or Night Rate, Tariff 31 is the most
cost effective tariff and is up to 60 per cent cheaper than Tariff 11. However, electricity is
only available at low demand times (generally between the hours of 10pm and 7am).
Tariff 31 is perfect for homes that have a large electric hot water system (minimum
250 litres) which only requires heating at night.
Tariff 33 Off-peak tariffCommonly referred to as the Economy Plan or Controlled Supply, Tariff 33 provides
household electricity for at least 18 hours a day. The time of supply is dictated by your
electricity provider and is generally outside of the peak morning and evening consumption
times when we use electricity the most.
As a result, Tariff 33 is up to 40 per cent cheaper than Tariff 11. Tariff 33 is perfect for
appliances and electrical equipment that dont require constant or permanent power, such
as, storage water heating systems (including solar, electric and heat pump water heaters)
and swimming pool filters.

Wireless Power Monitor
If I remove the batteries will I lose the information in the power monitor?
If you need to change or remove the batteries, the display has an internal memory,
so information stored on the display should not be lost.
How do I reset the display (clear the data and start again)?
Press Modeand Historybuttons simultaneously and hold for two (2) seconds.
How far does the power monitor device transmit?
The transmitterworks up to 40 metres within the home. The 433MHz range is well suited
for in home use. This can cover three floors, and is also well suited to buildings where
meters are outside of the main building.
I have three dashes (- - -) or (0) showing on the display. What does this mean?
Move the display unitcloser to the transmitterand press the Linkbutton. If the
dashes remain on the display unit this indicates the transmitterand receiverare not
communicating. If this occurs, try relinking the devices as per the instructions on
page 21. Alternatively please check your battery power see page 20. If the problem
persists please contact customer service on 133 600.
The monitor backlight appears to work sometimes, and not other times. Is my display broken?
No. The backlight is on a timer (from 6pm to 6am) to save battery life.
Can I use my power monitor to confirm my electricity bill charges?
Your wireless power monitor is designed to assist you in changing your electricity usage
behaviour by providing you with an indication of where the most electricity is used in
your home. While the power monitor can be used to provide an approximate cost for your
electricity use, it has not been programmed to provide an exact calculation. The tariff
programmed into your wireless power monitor is a Queensland average and therefore
may be slightly higher or lower than the electricity tariff/(s) charged to your home.It is important to remember the history of your electricity consumption saved on your
power monitor may not accurately align with the period of your electricity bill, and the
electricity consumption history saved in your power monitor may need to be reset to
provide you with a more approximate calculation of your electricity bill.
Does my product warranty include replacement batteries?
No. The warranty on your wireless power monitor and transmitter covers faults with the
products only, not the batteries. For instructions on how to change the batteries in your
monitor or transmitter please refer to page 20.

Stand-by eliminators
Can I install the stand-by eliminators on multiple levels of my home?
The stand-by eliminators will work as long as the remote is within 20 metres of the
stand-by eliminator.
I usually have my appliances plugged into a surge protection adapter, will this still
protect my appliances during a storm?
The stand-by eliminators provided as part of the service have surge protection which is
designed to protect electrical devices from voltage spikes such as those which can occur
during a storm. Please note that like other surge protection products, once the surge
protection has been exhausted it wont protect against any further surges. You will b e
able to tell when the surge protection has been exhausted as the green light on your
eliminator will cease to glow. In this instance, you may need to connect your appliances
to an adaptor or power board with surge protection and plug this into the stand-by
eliminator to continue to protect your appliances.
Can I plug a power board with multiple appliances connected to it into the stand-by
power eliminator?
It is recommended that you dont exceed a maximum amount of 1,600 Watts for each
stand-by eliminator. If you have multiple appliances connected to a power board that
collectively exceed this amount and you connect it to the stand-by eliminator, you
will damage the stand-by eliminator and this type of damage is not covered under the
product warranty. Be sure to check the power requirements of your appliances before
connecting them to the stand-by eliminators.
Does my product warranty include replacement batteries?
No. The warranty on your stand-by eliminators and remote covers faults with the
products only, not the batteries.
If there is a power outage or I remove the batteries from my remote will I need to
re-program my eliminators?
You will not need to re-program your eliminators if you remove the batteries from
your remote, however if an eliminator is pulled out of the main power outlet or there
is a power outage then you will need to re-program one or all of your eliminators. For
instructions on how to re-program your eliminators please see page 22.

Setting your tariff
Your power monitor has been installed to measure one tariff of electricity. If your
electricity is measured on a single tariff, the power monitor has been set to the most
common tariff measured in Queensland, Tariff 11 (see page 8 for details of the tariffs
available). If your electricity is being measured through multiple tariffs, your power
monitor is set to a Queensland average taking into account the different costs of off-peak
tariffs. You can reset the tariff settings for both singleand dual tariffsby following the
instructions below.
Your power monitor will give you real time measurement of your electricity usage.
If your house is wired in different phases (2 or 3 phase homes), however, the power
monitor may not track allelectricity consumption in your home. It will still give you a
good indication of how much electricity you are using though.
To get the most accurate measure of your electricity usage across all tariffs, read your
ENERGEX or Ergon Energy electricity meter, usually located outside your home.
The information under Reading your electricity meteron page 24 will assist you
with reading your meter.
Please remember to take precaution if accessing your meter box. If you are unsure what
to do, contact a licensed electrician for advice.
The difference between single and dual tariffsIf you have a different tariff on the electricity you use
during the day (peak) compared to that used late at
night (off peak) then you may want to set up the dual
tariff mode. If you have just one tariff then its best to
use the single tariff mode.
Setting up Single Tariff ModePress and hold down Modefor two (2) seconds.This will enable you to enter the settings. Press
mode twice to move onto the tariff section settings.
(Figure 5.0). If you are charged one single tariff

Electronic metersYour electronic meters may provide two (2) separate consumption readings. For example,
your hot water system consumption and your lights and remaining power.
Electronic meters scroll through various display screens. The smaller number on the left
of the screen is the Display Identifier.
To obtain your consumption readings, record the numb ers displayed when the Identifier
01appears and when the Identifier 30appears (Figure 8.2).
The reading on the display above is 28
kW.h 8

Odometer metersIf your electricity meter resembles the odometer of a car (Figure 8.1), simply record the
numbers displayed.

Dial metersA dial meter is the most common type of meter. To read the dial meter, follow the
steps below:
1. Stand in front of the meter so you can see the exact position of the pointer on
each dial.
2. Start with the first dial on the left and identify the two numbers the pointer is
between and record the lowest number. If the pointer is between nine (9) and
zero (0) then you must record the number as nine (9).
Note: Remember to write this number down and multiply it by the factor
below the dial. For example Figure 8.0. The first dial on the left reads
1 x 10,000=10,000.
3. Repeat this step for each dial in
the meter, reading the dials from
left to right.
4. Your meter reading is the
record of each of these
numbers consecutively
from left to right.
The reading from the dials above is 16142

Your household electricity meter can be used to calculate your daily electricity
consumption. To work out your daily consumption from your meter reading, follow
these steps:
1. Add up all readings from each meter (each meter is calculating a separate tariff).
2. Repeat this step again 24 hours after your first reading.
3. Find the difference between the two totals. This is your daily electricity
consumption in kWh. The personal and household energy challenge provided
in your Power Saving Plan is in kWh so it can be accurately tracked against this.
Note: Some meter boxes for units/apartments may be centrally located outside.
