CENTRON® Meter Technical Reference Guide 71
Follow these steps to test the Wh LED:
1
Apply a constant delivered watts load (Wapp) to the meter.
2
Verify that the LED pulses properly either by counting the pulses or using a comparator
to compare the pulses from the meter under test to the standard.
To determine the number of pulses per second, use the following equation:
Testing Using the Disk Emulation Annunciator
The CENTRON meter is capable of visually being tested by using the Watt Disk Emulation
Annunciator.
Recommended Energy Testing Procedures
Testing solid-state meters on test boards that were designed primarily for electromechanical
meters may give unexpected results. Erroneous readings have been known to occur on “light
load” tests when the test sequence calls for said light load test to follow immediately after
the full load test. The problem is caused by improper “jogging” and can be avoided by
sequencing the test in order of applied power such that the lowest power is tested first. This
problem does not exist on modern test boards with the latest test software.

Field Testing
Field testing of the CENTRON meter may be accomplished with conventional methods
using either the infrared test pulses or the load emulation annunciator.
