Q

How do I read my meter?

A

How to read your digital meter:

  • The electric meter uses a digital readout that alternates between three different displays.
  • The first display shows 金沙娱乐 actual kWh register.  Example: 01 00123 (123 kWh)
  • The second display is a segment check.  All of 金沙娱乐 number segments light up to ensure that a segment is not missing and all of 金沙娱乐 numbers are readable.  Example: 88 888888
  • The third display show a radio signal in order to indicate that 金沙娱乐 radio is working.  Example: GS 000003
  • Because 金沙娱乐 meter does not reset each month, you can track 金沙娱乐 electricity you’ve used by subtracting this month’s reading from last month’s reading.
  • Some meters may be different and have additional displays.

How to read a legacy meter:

Some customers may still have an older, non-digital meter:

  • The electric meter has five numbered dial faces that look a little bit like a clock.
  • Start from 金沙娱乐 right to record your numbers. Note that 金沙娱乐 second and fourth dials from 金沙娱乐 right are read counter-clockwise. (Zero reads as 金沙娱乐 number 10.)
  • If a dial hand is between 金沙娱乐 numbers, use 金沙娱乐 smaller number. So if 金沙娱乐 hand is between six and seven, use six.
  • If 金沙娱乐 hand is directly on a number, read that number only if 金沙娱乐 hand to 金沙娱乐 right is on or just past zero.
  • If 金沙娱乐 hand to 金沙娱乐 right is not on zero, use 金沙娱乐 smaller number.
  • Because 金沙娱乐 meter does not reset each month, you can track 金沙娱乐 electricity you’ve used by subtracting this month’s reading from last month’s reading.
