Power meter, Instr. wanted, please.

[jhewitt]

I bought a Power Meter model 9149 from the Lidl store in Fuengirola today. Instructions are in Spanish - "naturally". Normally I can handle that, but in this case there's too much to digest.

In short I need an English language instruction sheet. Can't find the manufacturer, Lidl Espana ain't interested - "naturally".

Can some kind guy out there help me out, fax me a copy, or send as an attachment to an email? Just a Xerox type copy - please !! ??

can't help you there, but do you know how much it should cost to re-wire a 4 bedroom townhouse in spain. I've had a quote for 4,300 euros for our place in Antequera - about 4 time what it would cost be at home - about 8 times if I did it myself.

Unfortunately I have no scanner however I do have a coolbox to steady my camera on so hopefully these will do:

x JPEGs, 2272x1074 (be careful of IE6 shrinking them to fit!), brightened and (re)compressed to ~600KB each)

I've also put the originals there so you can play about with them as you wish - they're ~1.6MB each so whilst I don't know what bandwidth you've got my upload is 384kbps so will be limited to this anyway.

Hope this helps!

Hard to answer without seeing the house, [ size, state of repair, etc] location and other variables.. i.e.

1. Assume that it's a masonry building with existing surface wiring. Then plastic conduits would have to be embedded in the walls / floors and then re finished, or....

1. Lots of cowboys here - mostly Brits.

2. We have a wild building boom here, every one has work and prices of everything have gone out of sight.

1. Thus few folks want 'small' jobs [ they want new house and Apt blocks to work on ]

2. You are there, 'they' here, makes a big difference.

In general though, you instincts are correct, it sounds very high, especially for Antequera, which is way inland.

FYI I suspect that an electricista here gets appx ?15.00 per hour, you can figger the rest out.

You're welcome - glad it was of use.

I run a webserver on a server connected 24/7 - specifically the Apache webserver (on a Linux box however there is a Win32 version) - further info at

It's the most common webserver in use on the Internet hence there's plenty of tutorials/HowTos etc. A spot of Googling is probably your best bet...
