Troubleshooting
The rugged design and the user-friendly interface of
the meter should make it unusual for the installer or
operator to refer to this section of the manual.
However, due to the many features and functions of
the meter, it’s possible that the setup of the meter
does not agree with what an operator expects to see.
If the meter is not working as expected, refer to the
Diagnostics menu and recommendations below.
Diagnostics Menu (
diag
)
The Diagnostics menu is located in the Advanced
Features menu, to access Diagnostics menu see
Advanced Features Menu on page 50 .
This menu allows the user to test the functionality of
all the meter LEDs, check the mete
r’s software and
version information, and erase the MeterView Pro
software installation files from the meter. Press the
Enter
button to view the settings and the Menu button
to exit at any time.
For a description of the diagnostic messages, see
Advanced Features Menu & Display Messages on
page 50 .
