Light Bar
The Light Bar glows Red, Yellow or Green. The Light Bar light moves from left to right appearing to rotate at a rate that
corresponds to the amount of energy being consumed. The higher the rate of consumption, the faster the light will “turn”.
For Time-of-Use (TOU) the color is usually determined by the rate period and for volumetric use the colors are determined by
which block you are in as described in the typical example below.
•
Green is typically used for the least expensive ($) TOU period or first volumetric block;
•
Yellow is typically used for the mid-rate ($$) period or next volumetric block;
•
Red is typically used for the most expensive ($$$) TOU period or volumetric block.
For single rate applications, the light bar glows one color only.
For more information about rates, see Electricity Rates in the Appendix.
Status line
The top status line (outlined in yellow)on this summary screen indicates the following:
MHS -
Three possible views-
M
ain,
H
istory or
S
ummary. The highlighted letter is the current view.
Today’s date. This value is obtained automatically from the smart meter.*
An antenna icon indicates connection is established. When flashing, the signal is weak. When
there is no icon, the signal is lost.
AC indicator
Battery indicator.
Note
: A solid battery icon indicates battery operation only, not the amount of
charge remaining in the battery.
The present rate period indicator symbol is displayed
•
eg. For TOU rates: $ = Off-Peak, $$ = Mid-Peak, $$$ = Peak, $$$$ = Critical Peak.
•
eg. For volumetric $ = first block $$ = next block $$$ = etc.
