ຄຸນ​ນະ​ສົມ​ບັດ​ທີ່​ສໍາ​ຄັນ​:

• Energy-saving and Environmental Protection: Measures power consumption and calculates total energy costs for rational electricity planning.
• Multi-functional Monitoring: Offers 11 display modes including power (Watt), total energy used (kWh), carbon emissions (CO₂), voltage (Volt), current (Amp), frequency (Hz), power factor, cost per kWh, minimum power, and maximum power.
• Multi-layer Protection: Features warning indicators (screen flash and LED) for preset power, energy cost, or consumption limits. Default overload limit is 3680W, with a recommendation to set it to 1800W for initial use.
• User-friendly Display: Large, easy-to-read display set at a 45-degree angle for optimal visibility.
• Partial Reset Function: Allows deletion of measurement data without affecting original settings (e.g., cost/kWh).
• ແບັດເຕີຣີໃນຕົວ: Retains settings and measured data even when unplugged.

2. ການຕິດຕັ້ງແລະການນໍາໃຊ້ເບື້ອງຕົ້ນ

Follow these steps to set up your Techbee Power Meter:

1. ການຫຸ້ມຫໍ່: Carefully remove the power meter from its packaging.
2. ຮູບເງົາປ້ອງກັນ: A transparent protective film is present on the screen. You may remove it for clearer visibility or keep it as preferred.
3. ເປີດ: Plug the meter directly into a standard electrical wall socket. The display should illuminate. If the screen remains blank or buttons are unresponsive, plugging it into a live socket will resolve the issue as it powers the internal battery and display.
4. Initial Overload Setting: The default overload power limit is 3680W. Before using the energy meter, it is recommended to set the overload power to 1800W for general household appliances. Refer to Section 3.2 for instructions on setting alarm thresholds.
5. ເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ອຸປະກອນ: Plug the appliance you wish to monitor into the socket on the front of the power meter.

Figure 2.1: The meter features a large display and a built-in battery for convenience.

3. ຄໍາແນະນໍາການດໍາເນີນງານ

The Techbee Power Meter features four control buttons: ໂໝດ, SET, UP, ແລະ ລົງ.

3.1. ໂໝດສະແດງຜົນ

ກົດ ໂໝດ button to cycle through the 11 different display modes. Each mode provides specific electrical data:

1. Watt / Total Cost: Displays current power consumption in Watts and accumulated cost.
2. Total kWh Used: Shows the total kilowatt-hours consumed.
3. Carbon Emissions (CO₂): Displays CO₂ emissions based on energy consumption.
4. ສະບັບtage / ຄວາມຖີ່: ສະແດງສະບັບປັດຈຸບັນtage (V) and frequency (Hz) of the power supply.
5. Current / Power Factor: Displays the current (Amp) and power factor.
6. Cost per kWh: Allows setting and viewing the cost per kilowatt-hour.
7. ພະລັງງານຕ່ ຳ ສຸດ: Shows the lowest recorded power consumption.
8. ພະລັງງານສູງສຸດ: Shows the highest recorded power consumption.
9. ສັນຍານເຕືອນເກີນຂະໜາດ: Displays the set overload power limit.
10. Alarm of kWh: Displays the set kWh alarm limit.
11. Alarm of Cost: Displays the set cost alarm limit.

3.2. Setting Alarm Thresholds and Cost

To set specific values like cost per kWh or alarm limits:

1. ກົດ ໂໝດ button until you reach the desired setting mode (e.g., "Cost per kWh", "Overload Alarm", "Alarm of kWh", or "Alarm of Cost").
2. ກົດ SET button. The digit you can adjust will start flashing.
3. ໃຊ້ UP ແລະ ລົງ ປຸ່ມເພື່ອປັບຄ່າ.
4. ກົດ SET again to move to the next digit or to confirm the setting.
5. Once all digits are set, press ໂໝດ ເພື່ອອອກຈາກຮູບແບບການຕັ້ງຄ່າ.

Figure 3.2: The device provides visual alarms (flashing LED and screen indicators) when set thresholds are exceeded.

3.3. ການຕັ້ງຄ່າຂໍ້ມູນຄືນໃໝ່

The meter allows for partial data reset, which means you can clear accumulated measurement data (like total kWh or total cost) without losing your custom settings (like cost per kWh or alarm thresholds). To reset measurement data, press and hold the ລົງ button for approximately 5 seconds until the relevant data clears.

3.4. Monitoring Appliance Consumption

The meter can precisely detect power usage down to 0.5W, allowing you to identify even the tiniest standby power consumption from your devices. This helps in tracking and reducing unnecessary electricity usage across various household appliances.
