User questions & answers

Question:	Where can I download the user manual? The link on your product page is not working
Answer:	Mine came with a user manual such as it was. Take a few minutes and look on YouTube;it will be explanatory quickly! Good luck!
Question:	Will this meter read the wattage im putting back into the grid
Answer:	No.
Question:	How do you reset the usage? I don't need to reset the cost Kw/h, just the running totals
Answer:	Hello, this usage will be reset all, and then you could set the cost again, if you have any problem when reset, please tell us the details, you could send the email to [email protected], we will be surely responsible to this problem. thanks
Question:	Does it for remote by a computer or cell phone?will it work with 220v
Answer:	Negative. Most of these devices are rated up to 1875 watts. That's 125 volts times 15 amps. If your electrical service panel is up to code, the 15 amp breakers in it should flip off at 1440 watts. That's 80% of 1800 watts (120 volts times 15 amps). I have one window unit wired for 20 amps...that's 1920 watts safely. I have used these devices with my 20 amp outlets and but please don't make a habit of using it continuously, it will get hot and potentially start a fire. There are 220V meters out there but I'm not familiar with any of them. Take care!
Question:	Is this model 220v (Non US) AC compatible? If not, which model is? Thanks in advance
Answer:	This is a 120-volt meter. I recommend that if you want a plugin meter than can handle 240 volts you look one for the appropriate electrical receptacle on the front. This one clearly has a standard 120-vold outlet receptacle.
Question:	does this work on 220v 60hz house outlet
Answer:	According to product specifications Line Frequency range is 47.0 - 63 HZ. If your outlet is configured to accept the P4460 you should be able to use it. Before you buy you may want to ask the manufacturer this question.
Question:	Can it be set for a period of time (such as 24 hours) and record usage only then
Answer:	Yes, this records the total power used by the device whether it is on or off or any mix. You just need to go to the screen kwh used. record the beginning # and at the end of time period (say 24 hours) record the end #. that is how many kwh it used. I used several of these for months to record the A/C use in our shared apt and paid the landlord for the a/c used so they don't complain about my electricity used. great device. now however, my apt has a 20a a/c wall unit. while you could get converter to regular 3 prong, not sure if this unit will go to 20 amps.Others who said no are simply ignorant of this devices menu. It ALSo shows, when on watts menu, the watts used when a device is running, or is off. so you can see how much your a/c or toaster oven or giant screen tv uses when on, or off.It also keeps the power kilowatt hours used even if unplugged or power goes out in its internal memory. so you can simply record the kilowatt hours at the begin of a month, then at the end of the month, subtract and multiply by your cost of electricity for the total $ / month the device uses.The dork who was our landlord at the time thought his electric water heater for tea was less expensive to use than nuking a cup of water for a minute to heat it up in the microwave. popped this device on it and they were almost identical in total power used to heat a cup of water.The same idiot who was complaining about this left his rear projection tv on when he wasn't around, and they use alot more electricity than today's flat panel screens.If you want to record the power usage of some device over time, you'll want to plug this device into a short extension cord. if you plug it directly into the wall then you have to lie down on the floor to read the kilowatt readings. I just put the readings into a spreadsheet when I was recording monthly electricity usage.
Question:	To how many decimal places does this one display for Watts
Answer:	This EZ model does NOT display how many Watts you device is pulling... It displays how may kwh have been used thus far, to the 1/10th decimal place. So, when you first plug something in is shows ZERO, since not enough time has passed to show kwh used yet. This is a HUGE feature left off this device. For me, I want to plug something in to a meter like this and be able to instantly see how many Watts the device uses, and this EZ meter version does not do that.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use it on a gas dryer that takes 30 Amps for a split second to start? I know it runs below 8 amps once started
Answer:	Its a crap shoot as to whether this meter can handle the surge current of start up. Maybe itll work once, twice, a few times. But eventually it WILL fail. Id recommend one of those add in power monitor displays with a split core transformer that is clamped around the input hot line to sense current. For example, a CrocSee CRS-022B. Much, much safer. And can sense up to 100A!
Question:	can be used connecting 220 Volts at 60 Hz
Answer:	Yes, this item is designed for 110-220v, 50-60hz, AC power.
Question:	Can you plug space heaters into it safely
Answer:	It depends, the max. wattage rating of the PN2000 is 1760w @110v or 2000w @125v (16 amps). As long as your space heater rating is lower than this, it should work. Most space heaters have a max. output of 1500W, so you should be good to go. Note: Due to the large start-up amps of space heater, though device has abilities to deal with it, we still recommend not to use the device near the max rated specs (in most cases, the true RMS Current will be around 15A) for a long time to avoid any unexpected damage or accident. And please kindly know that the inner and outer device material is fireproofing. If device is over used or exposure to excessive heat, it may cause a melt incident but it won't start a fire. Still, you need use this device carefully to avoid any fire hazard.
Question:	Does it tell you how much electricity has been used in 24 hours and the cost of usage
Answer:	Yes, it will give a total usage over any time period (loose power circuits will be fine, consumption kWh will be kept in memory). So you just need to let it run 24 hours and check the Electricity Consumption (EC). Regarding the cost of usage, you have to do the math. Here gives you an example: Let's say your billed KWH is 0.07 and the distribution charge is 0.04. Then the KWH charge $0.07 + distribution charge $0.04 = $0.11 per Kilowatt Hour(kWh) usage. So if your device is using total 2.4 kW-hrs(EC) per 24 hours (which is equal to 100 watts in one hour), then you are paying $0.11 per kWh * 2.4 kilowatts per day = $0.264 for each day of use. Hope this explains it better.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be set up to use and view on a desktop computer or does a person have to have a cellphone
Answer:	You need to add some info about your spa before you can get an absolute answer. But according to the rating tag on this unit it can handle 15 amps input and 15 amps output. That means it can handle a load of 15 amps at 120 VAC. If your spa is over 15 amps, the answer is no. 15 amps at 120 VAC = 1800 watts. If you spa is at or above 15 amps, or 1800 watts, don't us it on the spa. To be safe and 100% accurate, refer to the spa user manual.
Question:	Does this work with a 240 line
Answer:	It's not made for plugging into the grid in the manner you describe. Its design is intended to measure consumption of individual appliances up the monitor's maximum current/power rating. I have used such a device on a power strip to measure multiple appliances at once, but kept total draw of loads within the monitor's limits.
Question:	Any monthly app fees
Answer:	Don't need a pen pushing where it says reset
Question:	Is there a subscription needed
Answer:	I recommend that you call the company to confirm your question.

Turning Power Into Knowledge

Emporia has developed the next generation of the Vue Energy Monitor. Committed to bringing the best value as affordable possible, the Vue provides everything you need to monitor your entire home's energy usage in real time. See how much electricity your home is using anywhere, anytime.

Monitor Individual Circuits without the Guesswork

Add individual 50A sensors to your Vue to monitor up to 16 individual circuits — providing accurate energy use for the appliances and equipment that is important to you. No guesswork. No trying to discern energy signals from background noise. Just simple, easy, and accurate insight into your home. 50A sensors are sold separately and also sold in bundles with the Vue.

Measure Solar Net Metering without Extra Hardware

Solar net metering is built right into the Emporia Vue. The simple Emporia iOS and Android app will show when and how much electricity you are consuming and when and how much excess energy you are producing back to the grid — giving you keen insight into the impact of your solar panels as they relate to your energy use.

Installs in the Electrical Circuit Panel of your Home

The Gen 2 Vue installs in your home's electrical panel using CT sensor clamps that go around your mains and the other circuits you wish to monitor. DIY instructions included, but a professional electrician is recommended. The Vue system is designed for field installation in a switch enclosure as per 312.8(B) of the 2017 NEC regarding Power Monitoring Equipment.

Do You have Metal Bus Bar Mains in Your Panel?

Our Flexible Current Sensor solution is now available on the EmporiaEnergy website. These current sensors are meant to replace the 200A main sensors that ship with Gen 2 Vues. They employ a bendable Rogowski coil with a 1.4” (36mm) opening that can fit around most bus bars or into tight spaces where a standard current sensors clamp cannot fit. Installing the Flexible Current Sensors is still dangerous, and Emporia highly recommends that installation be performed by a licensed electrician or other qualified professional.

Add Emporia Smart Plugs to Your Vue

Emporia Smart Plugs (sold separately) can be added to your Vue system to help you to not only monitor the energy of lighting and small appliances, but to also set timers, schedules, and turn them on and off from anywhere, any time with the Emporia app.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can the app on my wife ios phone and my android phone be simultaneously logged in to the app
Answer:	Yes it will that is what I use mine for. It gives me an AC reading right between the Grid Ready inverter and the power grid.
Question:	Does the app function when outside the home? Ie. Will I be able to see real-time data for my home while away at work
Answer:	The P4400-vp can be shipped on international orders. Great Britain and France, even the Island of St. Martin Dutch side (120VAC) and St. Maartin French side (240VAC). have significantly different power from the US. The French and Great Britain use power 240VAC "Phase/ or live leg to ground" instead of the US "live leg to live leg" for 240VAC. Even though this unit is not usable for 240volt it is cleared for international use since the unit tests on phase to ground 120VAC and this is what we use in the US. It would appear that this has to do with the way the ground (round plug) and neutral are utilized in the device.
Question:	does it sum up power usage for a period of time, like every month
Answer:	What I understand of resolution on this context is: the increment steps of the measure. A 10 resolution will measure either 0, 10, 20, 30 .... but never a number in between.
Question:	Is it truly worth 300 bucks
Answer:	Not really. If you are sure which range is best you should start high and work your way down until you get the accuracy you need.

Empowers You to Save Hundreds on Electric Bills

Electricity bills are rising. Now you can cut down on costs and find out what appliances are actually worth keeping plugged in. Simply connect these appliances to the Kill A Watt, and it will assess how efficient they really are. The large LCD display counts consumption by the kilowatt-hour, the same as your local utility. You can calculate your electrical expenses by the day, week, month, even an entire year. Also check the quality of your power by monitoring voltage, line frequency, and power factor. Now you will know if it is time for a new refrigerator or if that old air conditioner is still saving you money. Kill A Watt can help you reduce your power bill and will help find power-wasting appliances so you are able to decide whether it is worth keeping them plugged in. For standard 115 VAC appliances only, 15 amps maximum, 125 VAC maximum.

Find Out How Much Electricity You're Using

The U.S Department of Energy reports that 20% of our electric bills come from items that are left plugged in when they are not in use, or items that are in standby mode. With the Kill A Watt P4400 we can monitor the energy eaters in our homes and cut down our electric bills at the same time. Plug whatever item you want into the device and it will tell you the efficiency of that item by displaying the kilowatt per hour. This device will help you determine which items are costing you the most to run. The Kill A Watt also calculates voltage, line frequency, current, and power factor. You can calculate your electric bill before you even receive it from the electric company.



Test The Quality of Your Home's Power



But measuring appliance consumption is just the tip of the iceberg. Because it can monitor voltage (Volt) and line frequency it can also test if an outlet is working, or evaluate the quality of the electrical power provided by your utility company. It can detect voltage drops around the house, help to predict brownout conditions or to make sure a new home's outlets are in working condition before escrow closes.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi, is this unit able to capture peak current draw? I want to see if my audio amplifier ever gets close to tripping my breaker
Answer:	This will only plug into a 120 VAC outlet. The standard 120 VAC outlet in almost all homes is only rated 15A continuous duty, but can take more for a second like when a room air conditioner compressor starts up. This is probably following those same rules. If the wiring is 12 gauge or thicker, it can be hooked to a 20 amp breaker even though all of the outlets in the average house are rated 15A, at least in most states. The reality of the matter is that wiring and outlets can always take somewhat more than the ratings and everything is oversized for safety. But is is always considered unsafe to plug in any device that uses more than 15 amps into a typical house outlet. An exception is commercial outlets that fit both home devices and heavier duty commercial device plugs and those outlets are usually rated at 20 amp. Those outlets are more common in businesses and uncommon in homes. An air conditioner or commercial refrigerator that uses more than about 10 continuous amps will normally be a 240 volt appliance and require different type of outlet designed for 240 volts, same is true of typical electric clothes dryer and this device would not adapt to those.
Question:	Will this work with two prong (non-grounded) outlets
Answer:	This device, the P4400, will reset all of its timed measurement values to zero if power is lost or the device is unplugged. The P4460 has "non volatile" memory, using a battery to provide the necessary voltage to power the (S)RAM memory, which means that it will not lose the data if power to the 4460 is lost. The P4460 also will let you input the cost per KWH from your provider to calculate the cost to operate the appliance over a week, month and year (assuming that your use is the same during the extrapolated period as it was during the measurement period). For me the data retention feature is well worth the extra $4 since I want to keep track of the energy used by a window air conditioner which will vary by the outdoor temperature, the sun hitting the building, the humidity, etc.
Question:	most of my outlets are 20 amps or more, the killawatt is only 15 amps does that make a difference in calculations, the garage is 40 amp
Answer:	Hello, the correct wire is typically referred to as 10/3 with ground, but yes 10/4 would be the correct amount of wires. Reliance Controls videos have the 10/3 with ground used in install videos. Any other video done by others may not have the correct wire.
Question:	what is the difference between the p4400 and the p
Answer:	Hello and thanks for your question! The PB30 inlet box is just a plug for a generator cord in an outdoor rated enclosure. It is used to connect a generator cord and then bring the wiring into a building to connect to what should be a transfer switch or device. The wiring from the PB30 brought inside doesn’t have to connect to a transfer switch for the power to be utilized, but every state law requires a transfer device to connect generator power to. Hope this helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	El aparato acepta 220V de alimentación
Answer:	Yes! Trends will show days, weeks, months, and year usage in kilowatt along with $$ spent. You can also break it down into each known device.
Question:	Is it possible to get a manual
Answer:	It is worth $300 to me because I'm an Engineer who lives in Arizona and have to feed an air conditioner with electricity for half the year. Because half my electric bill is dependent upon hourly usage totals, calculated each hour between 3 PM and 8 PM. The highest hourly total in a billing period times $16 makes every kW of Demand important. It may well save me more than $300 a year to be able to monitor my on peak usage. If you understand how your billing is done and what affects the numbers, yes, it can be well worth it. I love my Sense. Otherwise, it just gives you numbers that are meaningless. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then it probably is not worth $300 to you. I hope this helped.
Question:	What is maximum length of time this will gather information
Answer:	No, 240 Volts is higher than the maximum allowable voltage. The limits: Max. Voltage: 125 Volts, Max. Current: 15 Amps, Max. Power: 1875 Watts (that's about the highest a microwave will go). Also, you can see it doesn't have the correct 3 pronged plug for appliances like washing machines.
Question:	We are only 3 people in the family and the consumption is higher than in other houses With this device can I find out what is spending most energy
Answer:	It reports the total consumption from when plugged in, but will restart if power is interrupted. The report does include the duration of measurement. It is limited to 110-120 V current.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you force the backlit to stay on all the time? (so I don't have to keep pressing a button
Answer:	It is an offline data logging tool. If you want remote logging, I would look at VeSync Voltson.

Answer:	No. 120 V only. 1800 W max.
Question:	Could we use this for remote data logging of total watts/hours to a computer or cell phone
Answer:	Use the setting that reads (1.5 v or 10 v). It is accurate but be aware that rechargeable batteries are 1.2 volts and the reading won't match the scale. FYI, it will still be accurate .
Question:	Can this handle a 1200 watt 240 volt PSU
Answer:	There is a strut, if I remember correctly. I gave it as a gift
