Mostly the same computer and power supply.  Change MB few times but use back Power Supply which was not damaged. The PSU is expensive brand and provides sufficient voltage.

So what do you think about the different readings from the AVR and the Analyzer? I suspect the AVRs in the market are con job.

I tested another AVR (different brand in another room) which is also displaying the 230V in the LED display. But the Analyzer plugged in shows 244-245V.

1. Frequent motherboard failure issue, it is advisable to check the output capacitor in your power supply. They are located near those wires coming out from the power supply. Lookout for bulging or leaked capacitors.

2. It is odd that both AVR output such a big differences. The cheapest AVR are normally only designed to prevent power fluctuation, so if the power in your house fluctuate between 240~250v the AVR will out approximately 245v (depends on design) constantly. A better AVR will incorporate design to output at a fixed preset rate eg. 230v constant. Some expensive AVR even have the capability of a power conditioner to smoothen or remove noise in the power.

Since i do not know which type of AVR you are using, it is hard for me to to provide an answer on why 2 AVR output such a big difference. It might be of poorly designed or degrading and thus out of spec. You can however check whether the reading on the wattmeter is accurate by cross referencing with a multimeter (True RMS type if possible) or we can test it out for you when you send back the wattmeter to us. smile.gif

No, it is a device/tool for you to identify which electrical appliance is using the most power in your house so that you can replace it with a more power efficient model. Kindly refer to post #29 for more usage examples :-

Hi! My home is running 3phase and voltage fluctuates like crazy, it goes as low as 219V on one phase. Complains to TNB yielded no improvements. Do you have a solution to stabilize the voltage?
*
It only happens on the same phase all the time? How long the 219v lasted on that phase?

Yes, the Multifunctional Wattmeter can measure the total usage in KW & the total amount if you set the currency rate accordingly. smile.gif

Okay my humble review for the seller.

Item

Well I did get the item inside a box. Everything is provided and it indeed works. Displays power usage various electronic and I just realized that my Atom Nettop consumes the least power and my Server consumes <2W on standby. Interesting to know after letting it to run for 30 minutes.

Shipment

I should say its fast. The seller shipped within the same day. Paid around 3PM and it was shipped on the same day. Received it the following day

Communication

Excellent. The seller PM'ed and even SMS'ed me with my tracking number and the communication was smooth. No hiccups , promptly answered my SMS question on warranty (just to test tongue.gif how people respond when I ask them silly question)

Overall
I am satisfied with the overall service provided by this guy. Would I buy anything again ? Yes , probably especially things like a watt metre which is extremely rare in Malaysia. Plus with LED makes it easier to see when you have poor lighting conditions.

Kudos !
*
Thanks for the mini review & acknowledgement. smile.gif
Our company has an agreement with Poslaju for a daily pick-up (except the 1st Saturday of every month, Sunday and Public Holiday) so all orders with payment cleared before 3.00pm will be send out on the same working day.

QUOTE(bigcloud8 @ Mar 27 2012, 09:05 PM)
Question:
Does it also show the operating period (hours and minute)? For example, I turn on the air con at 1pm and switch off at 5.37pm. will I get readings like 7.2kwh and time 4.37hrs.

Thank you.
*
Yes, it can log the run time of the electrical appliance that plugged onto it and many more. You can even set the standby threshold so that it only log time when the compressor is running. smile.gif

Can check the stand by mode consumption as well?
*

Yes, the wattmeter will shows the power consumption of your electrical appliance in standby mode as well. The watt meter can also be configure to ignore the standby mode & only record the total power consumption by setting the minimum threshold value so that you can monitor your equipment operational power consumption.

My air con main switch looks something like this..
I can't find the socket to plug in the watt meter..
Does that mean I can't buy this meter to measure the air con's electric usage??
Cause that's exactly why I'm planning on buying one..
*

Please check the air-con surrounding area, normally there will be a 3 pin plug + wall power outlet which the air-con is plugged into for easy maintenance / repair / service purposes. Else it will be impossible to use our Wattmeter to take measurement.

bro,

already received the wattmeter. working perfectly. very nice tools actually.

Just a few questions:
1. Can i switch off the backlight/led?
2. How to measure total house electricity?
3. From manual, it mention can be used as a timer, how to configure?
*

Glad to know you have received the item.

1. No the backlight is in always ON mode. For total house electricity you will need those DIN reel type which will be mounted next to your ELCB.
2. This model is mean to measure a single device at a time.
3. No this model do not have a timer function. I believe you are mistaken for the total time of operation which is related to standby power setting. It can be use to measure how an electrical appliance operate throughout the time it was plugged into this device eg. If you plug in at 12pm, set the standby power for your water boiler accordingly & get back to check at 12am, you will know a the total running time your water boiler. Which should be much much lower than 12hr else there is something wrong with your water boiler.

already received the item last thursday.

im satisfied with the item..the packaging is nice and secured..but as i mentioned in my pm yesterday.. could u please help and teach me on how to use it?

i know that theres manual given but the description is confusing for person like me with zero knowledge about electronic and poor english understanding.

thanks

This is a very useful device in identifying the efficiency of the electrical appliances in your house. The 1st thing you should do is to record all the power usage (kwh) of each electrical appliance for a given time. eg. 2 hours. Once you have collected enough data, do a comparison eg. CRT TV to LCD TV etc. From there try to eliminate / replace or reduce the usage of those power hungry electrical appliances.

vMart@lowyat,

How much power does this device itself consumes? I plan to use it long term on aircond.
I read somewhere in this topic that the back-light cannot be turned off.
*

The device itself consume 0.9W and it's power circuit is isolated for safety and accuracy purposes. The manufacturer update the firmware regularly and last few batches already come with auto off backlight. rclxm9.gif

Yes, this Multifunctional Wattmeter can be use to measure/view the input voltage (V), current draw (A), power consumption(W), total usage (kWh) and calculate accumulated cost ($).
