How to operate
Here are the basic steps for operating the meter:
- Turn on the power supply to the meter.
- Press the ‘Display’ button on the front panel of the meter. This will activate the display screen, which will show you the meter’s current readings.
- The E470 has a built-in optical communication port which allows you to read the meter remotely using a handheld device or computer. To access this feature, locate the communication port on the front panel of the meter and connect the device to the meter using the appropriate cable.
- The meter also has a tamper detection feature, which will alert you if anyone attempts to interfere with the meter. If the tamper detection feature is activated, the display screen will show a message indicating that the meter has been tampered with.
- If you encounter any issues or errors while using the E470 meter, refer to the user manual or contact the manufacturer’s technical support team for assistance.
It’s important to note that electricity meters should only be operated by trained professionals. If you are not qualified to operate the meter or make any modifications to it, seek the help of a licensed electrician.
