📝 Description
New product, Current Cost EnviR energy monitoring system, consisting of an LCD display, wireless transmitter and CT current clamp, designed to display electrical consumption in real time.
The system detects current through the CT clamp and transmits the data to the display via a 433 MHz radio connection. The display allows instantaneous power, consumption and related costs to be viewed according to the configured tariff.
The photographs show the EnviR display, black transmitter with integrated antenna and Current Cost current clamp. The system is particularly suitable for monitoring household electricity consumption and small installations.

🔧 Main Functions
- Indirect measurement of electrical current.
- Wireless transmission of data from the transmitter to the display.
- Real-time display of power consumption.
- Monitoring of consumption trends.
- Indicative calculation of energy costs.
- Storage and comparison of consumption data.
The system periodically sends data from the transmitter to the display; the documentation indicates transmission approximately every 6 seconds.
🔌 Purpose and Operation
The CT (Current Transformer) clamp is installed around the conductor being monitored. The current flowing through the cable generates a magnetic field, which is detected by the clamp and converted by the transmitter into consumption-related information.
The transmitter then sends the data by radio to the EnviR display, which shows the power consumption and energy information.
For correct measurement, the clamp must be installed around the single conductor specified by the system and not around a complete multi-conductor cable.
🧩 Compatibility
The system is intended for monitoring:
- household electrical installations;
- small commercial installations;
- individual electrical lines;
- electrical loads;
- energy monitoring systems.
The EnviR receiver operates in the 433 MHz band and supports recognition of multiple compatible channels/sensors from the Current Cost platform.
⚠️ Typical Faults and Symptoms
- Display without power.
- No signal received from the transmitter.
- Zero or missing reading.
- Incorrect power values.
- Loss of pairing between display and transmitter.
- Unstable radio transmission.
- Damaged CT clamp or incorrect installation position.
- Faulty power adapter.
An abnormal reading does not necessarily indicate an electronic fault: clamp positioning and system configuration may affect the result.
🔍 Diagnosis
Inspection may include:
- checking the display power adapter;
- checking transmitter startup;
- checking display/transmitter pairing;
- checking the CT clamp connection;
- checking correct clamp positioning;
- checking radio transmission;
- comparing the reading with the electrical load actually present.

🟢 Summary
The Current Cost EnviR is a wireless system for monitoring electrical consumption, consisting of a display, transmitter and CT current clamp. Current is measured without interrupting the circuit and transmitted to the display via 433 MHz radio, allowing power, consumption and energy costs to be viewed.
Safety Note: Installation of the clamp on electrical panels or supply conductors must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with applicable regulations. The Current Cost manual requires particular care when installing the system on mains circuits.
