Refer to PM172 communication guides for the diagnostic register address

and layout. See

Device Diagnostic Codes

in Appendix F for the list of

diagnostic codes and their meanings.

Frequent hardware failures may be the result of excessive electrical noise in
the region of the device. If the meter continuously resets itself, contact your
local distributor.

A configuration reset may also be a result of the legal changes in the meter
configuration whenever other configuration data could be affected by the
changes.

To clear the device diagnostics status, click on Clear.
