Energy cost meter ANSMANN APM2 120-0007 with LCD display

ANSMANN APM2 120-0007 with LCD display is a compact energy cost meter designed to measure and display electrical energy consumption for individual appliances and circuits. The device shows current power draw and cumulative energy usage on an LCD, enabling users to monitor consumption patterns and estimate operational costs. Built for straightforward installation and everyday use, the meter fits standard sockets and provides clear numeric readouts for practical energy tracking in homes and small commercial settings.

Advantages

The meter provides precise energy and power measurements with a clear LCD readout, allowing fast interpretation of consumption data. Its compact form factor and plug-and-play design simplify setup without specialized tools. The device supports cost estimation by converting energy consumption into monetary values based on user-entered tariff rates. Low inherent power consumption of the meter itself ensures minimal measurement interference while delivering continuous monitoring.

Suitable for

• Monitoring power draw and energy consumption of household appliances
• Estimating operating costs for small office equipment
• Comparing energy use between devices to identify savings opportunities
• Short-term diagnostics of suspiciously high-consumption devices

Key specifications

• Measurement functions: instantaneous power (W) and cumulative energy (kWh)
• Display: LCD numeric readout for power and energy values
• Input and output: single-phase mains connection via standard plug and socket
• User-configurable tariff input for cost calculation
• Compact housing suitable for wall outlets without obstructing adjacent sockets

How to use

Plug the energy cost meter into a standard mains socket and connect the appliance to be measured into the meter's socket. The LCD will display the current power draw and accumulated energy consumption. Enter the applicable electricity tariff into the device settings to obtain monetary cost calculations. Reset cumulative counters when needed to start a new measurement period. Consult the supplied manual for menu navigation and specific parameter entry steps.

Recommendations

Place the meter on an easily accessible outlet and avoid loading it beyond the rated capacity of the connected mains circuit. For representative measurements, run appliances under typical operating conditions and allow sufficient time for the cumulative energy reading to stabilise before drawing conclusions about long-term consumption and costs.
