5 – Tariff
After you've confirmed your target by pressing the Set ( ) button you'll be taken to the
tariff set-up screen. This is where you tell the display unit how much you pay per kWh of
electricity, so it should work out how much your usage is costing you. You can find your
unit rate on your latest electricity bill.
If you only have a single tariff for electricity then you only need to enter information
for tariff 1. If you have a second tariff you should enter the price on the tariff 2 screen.
For example: if you have separate tariffs for different times of the day (e.g. Economy
7), then you can enter information for both tariff 1 (the main tariff) and tariff 2 (the
economy tariff).
Setting your tariff
Step 1
The tariff value should be the £ value you are charged for every kWh of electricity you use.
You can locate this on your electricity bill. The value will flash until adjusted by pressing
the Up p and Down q buttons. The tariff value can only be set in pounds and pence,
and doesn't use fractions of pence.
Step 2
Press the Set ( ) button to store the tariff 1 price, and move on to the next screen where
'tariff 2' will flash.
Step 3
Enter the second tariff unit rate in £ by using the Up p and Down q buttons and press
Set ( ) when you have the right value. If you only have a single tariff for electricity, tariff
2 should be left as 0.00 and then press the Set button and move straight to step 6.
Step 4 (dual tariff only)
If you've entered a price for tariff 2 then you need to enter the time when the second tariff
applies. The 'tariff 2 on time' screen will be automatically displayed. Adjust the start time
for tariff 2 by pressing the Up p and Down q buttons and then press Set ( ). Start and
end times can be set in half-hour periods.
Step 5 (dual tariff only)
You'll then see the 'tariff 2 off time' screen which will dictate when tariff 2 ends and tariff
1 begins. Use the Up p and Down q buttons to adjust the time and then press the
Set ( ) button.
Step 6
You'll return to the main screen on completion.
