05 DETERMINEBILLING MODE AND BILLING RATE

In order to display the cost of your electricity, you need to program the Digital Display with information from your electricity bill.

There are three ways you may be billed for electricity:

• Flat Rate. See example on page 18

You are charged the same amount per kilowatt-hour (kWh) no matter how much you use or what time of day you use it.

• Tiered Rates. See example on page 20

You are charged one rate for an initial number of kilowatt-hours, then a higher rate if you exceed that threshold. There may be several thresholds.

• Time-of-Use Rates. See example on page 23

You are charged a different rate depending on the time of day. There may be two rates (on-peak and off-peak) or three rates (on-peak, mid-peak, and off-peak).

Get a recent electric bill and determine how you are charged. Then, go to the appropriate page and fill out the form with your billing information. This will make it easier to program your Power Monitor.
