Pulse and Time Counters

You can use the 5-digit meter counters either as regular pulse/event
counters to count external pulses or setpoint events, or as time counters
to count setpoint operation time.

See

Configuring Counters

in Chapter 5 for information on configuring

pulse/event counters.

See

Using Time Counters

in

Configuring Alarm/Control Setpoints

for

information on configuring time counters. Time counters have the hour
label in the middle window and indicate the setpoint operation time in
0.1-hour units.

You can clear a counter using the simple “two-button” reset option if the
meter is not password protected, or if the meter security is overridden by
the “two-button” reset mode setting (see

Configuring the Display

).

To clear a counter:

1. Select a counter page.

2. While holding the SELECT button, press and hold the ENTER

button for about 5 seconds.

The displayed data is reset to zero.

Alarm Display

The alarm display shows a list of operated alarm setpoints along with the
alarm trigger labels if there are alarms recorded during meter operation.

Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to scroll through the alarm list.

The setpoint status is latched into a non-volatile register, which is not
affected by loss of power and may only be cleared via communications or
from the meter display.

To clear alarms:

1. Select an alarm page.

2. While holding the SELECT button, press and hold the ENTER

button for about 5 seconds until the alarm code is reset to
none.

Diagnostics Display

The diagnostics display shows a list of the device diagnostic codes
recorded as a result of the meter self-test diagnostics during start-up and
operation. When there are recorded diagnostic messages, the “i”
diagnostic LED on the front display briefly flashes two times to indicate
that the meter may require servicing.

The diagnostic LED can be disabled or enabled via the display setup menu
(see

Configuring the Display

).

Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to scroll through the diagnostic
message list. See

Device Diagnostic Codes

in Appendix G for the list of

diagnostic codes and their meanings.
