6.3 Configuration
In addition, the type of cost can be set in Expert mode. "Electricity cost (70%)" is caused by the
"electric power consumed by" the compressed air system, which typically corresponds to 70% of the
total costs. Meanwhile, "Total Cost (100%)" includes the investment and maintenance costs incurred
in addition to the electricity costs over the compressor's entire service life.

You can use the configuration settings to select the system of
units you want and enter the parameters needed in order to
calculate annual leakage costs.
• Select either the ISO or US system of units
• To define the costs, tap the "Cost / 1000 m
• Enter the operating hours per year
(during which the compressed air system is operated
actively)
There are two different mode options available for defining
the costs:
• Standard Mode: Cost per 1000 units of volume. The cost
and the currency will need to be entered directly. Default
value:
19 € / 1,000 m³ (0.58 € / 1,000 cf)
• Expert Mode: Can be used to define the electricity
cost / kWh and the system's specific power in detail.
The specific power describes the efficiency of the compressor
system, i.e., how much electric power (kWh) is required in
order to produce one cubic meter of compressed air (m³).
There are three predefined system values for it, as well as a
custom input field that you can use to enter a different value.
