Initializing the meter
Initializing the meter clears the meter’s logged data, counters and timers. It is common
practice to initialize the meter after its configuration is complete, before adding it to an
energy management system.
1. After configuring all the meter setup parameters, navigate through the different
meter display screens and make sure the displayed data is valid.
2. See “Global resets” on page 83 for instructions on clearing the meter’s recorded
logged data, counters and timers.
3. Select Meter Initialization to clear all recorded data.
Locking or unlocking the meter
After you initialize the meter, you must lock it in order to conform to MID standards.
Choose a number from 1 to 9999 for the lock password, record it and store the
password in a secure place.
1. Navigate to Maint > Lock.
2. Set Security Lock by entering a non-zero password.
3. Select Yes to confirm locking the meter, then exit the screen.
A lock icon appears on the upper left corner of the screen.
4. Make sure you record and store the Lock password in a secure location. A lost
Lock password cannot be recovered.
NOTE: To change the lock password, unlock the meter then lock it again using a
different password. Make sure you record this new password and store it in a secure
place.
