energy usage option

This option is not available for all UPS devices.
Energy usage enables you to monitor the energy consumption of equipment attached to your UPS. In addition
it gives you energy-related data like your carbon dioxide emissions and your energy costs.
Energy Usage: Your estimated electricity consumed since you insta lled the NMC in kil owatts per hou r (kWh).
For example, a UPS powering a 350 W light bulb for 1000 hours consumes 350 kWh of energy.
Total Cost: Your estimated electricity cost of energy used, in your local currency. For example, a light bulb
consuming 350 kWh of energy over 1000 hours with a price of $0.10 per kWh costs $35 over that period of
time.
CO2 Emissions: Your estimated total emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) in kilograms or pounds used thus far.
Total cost and CO2 emissions vary greatly by energy sour ce and distribution network. Obtain a rough estimate
by choosing your country from the drop-down Location list.
To input your own values, click on the (edit) link.
