![]() The following information shows you how to read them. There are a number of different solar meter types. Generated solar energy will be used by appliances and any excess generation will be recorded on the display ID. For example, do you have separate hot water metering, or is your supply single or multiphase? The data displayed on your meter depends on your electricity supply. This will ensure the digital display is working correctly. A test screen will initially display as a series of 8s. There's no need to push any buttons on the meter to obtain the reading. The digital display has two sections, the Display ID (or code) and the Display Data (or the actual reading). If you have a solar meter, the meter model type is displayed on the front panel label on the front of the meter. Solar meters (inverter energy system meters) In this example the reading is 0 - 0 - 4 - 7 - 6 - 3. Please report these codes on the meter reading sheet. If 'error codes E and F' appear then there's a problem with the meter. Enter all of these readings in the boxes provided as well. This meter will also display readings for 'test', 'date', 'time' and 'program ID'. Enter all readings in the boxes provided. If a reading is missed simply wait and it will be displayed again. It's not necessary to press any buttons to read this meter, simply wait and watch as the various meter readings appear. This meter automatically cycles through the various meter readings. L 0 - 0 - 2 - 9 - 5 Electronic digital display meters Note: Some meters may have the H and L displays reversed. In this example, the meter shows two displays - H (High/Peak) and L (Low/Off Peak). First, record the reading for the top display, followed by the reading for the bottom display. These meters are similar to the Single Rate Digits (Cyclometer) Display Meters but with a dual display. Digits (cyclometer) display meters - dual rate In this example the reading is: 0 - 3 - 8 - 7 - 7. In this example the reading is 7 - 2 - 4 - 2 - 1. Read the numbers in the same sequence as shown on the meter. This meter gives a direct readout of the total amount of electricity used. Digits (cyclometer)display meters - single rate In this example the reading is 7 - 9 - 8 - 6 - 7. In this example the reading for dial (A) is 7. If the next dial hasn't passed zero, as with dial (B), then the reading for the first dial is the lower number. When a dial hand appears to be exactly on a number, as with dial (A), look at the next dial to the right to see if it has passed zero. If it points between 0 and 1 write down 0 and if it points between 9 and 0 write down 9. When a dial hand points between two numbers, write down the lower of the two numbers. Start reading from the left hand dial (A) and read each dial in succession to the right. The clock faces have numbers 0 to 9 and alternate between rotating clockwise and anti-clockwise.
