How to take readings from the meter

It would seem that could be easier than to take readings from the metering device. But what if you have replaced your old meter, the aforesaid stood for many decades, a new electronic metering device. And then there were night and day rate. In this article I will tell you how to take readings with new electronic meters and do not forget to mention about the good old induction tools.

How to take readings with induction tools

Previously, all were just mechanical performance counters, rotary mechanism (and I am more than sure that many more such, and it stands to hide in my house near the old meter). And the algorithm readings was very simple: you come up to him, looked at the clock and copied figures.

Moreover, depending on the modification unit accounting rewritten digits before the decimal point or numbers isolated from other different color or frame.

Important. Some modifications were produced with a dial, which shows only integers. In this case, evidence is completely rewritten.

Then, depending on the region, you or transmit readings Energosbyt on the phone, or fill indications in receipts or consumption is calculated independently by calculating the current readings of the previous.

In my city the procedure is as follows: I take meter readings are sent to the Energosbyt already directly at the box office to call his testimony and said number personal account (but in most cases people simply called the address, but I think clever), and I have the cashier calls amount to pay for the consumed energy.

But what if the usual counter replaced with a new device with an electronic scoreboard, which is constantly replaced tsiferki. Let's investigate.

Reading the electronic metering

On can observe is replaced by a series of values ​​tsifirnyh display most of metering devices, in which the following information is encrypted:

1. The current date.

2. Time.

3. Indications. And depending on the model, there can be up to three positions (but usually a maximum of two, the first of them refers to the so-called day rate, and the second on the night).

4. Other data that is large, we simply do not need (perhaps in addition to reading the tabs TOTAL, where you can see the total energy consumption for the billing period).

These constantly change each other on the screen in a circle at intervals of 10-15 seconds, and you can just wait until you see the evidence of consumption.

But you can also take advantage of a button ENTER (Depending on the model, it may also be called PRIM. or do not have signs) onaya resets the cycle at the beginning and then a pair of repeated clicks, you can walk to the readings of consumption.

Now you just left to take a pen and paper and rewrite the testimony before the decimal point. If in your area there is a night rate, then press ENTER again and rewrite these figures.

All you have performed readings from the new electronic meter. Further evidence of transmission procedure (or filling receipts) will not differ from the usual well for you. Just keep in mind. that two counter tariff calculation by the first and second zone separated.

If briefly recall the three-phase meters, the procedure for removing and passing them on indications did not differ from single-phase metering.

Output

As you can see, reading procedure with the new metering is only slightly more complicated than it used to be, and just a couple of months it you will turn on the machine simply. I hope the article has been helpful to you.

Thanks for attention.
