Configuring tariffs using the front panel
This section explains how to use the front panel to set up tariffs.
You can change the tariff mode using the front panel.
When the meter is set to command mode for tariffs, the active tariff is controlled by
Modbus commands sent from your energy management system or other Modbus
master.

Configuring time of day mode tariffs using the front panel
When the meter is set to time of day for tariffs, the active tariff is determined by the day
type, the start and end times, and the start and end dates. The time of day tariff is not a
calendar; the meter does not calculate the corresponding day of the week to a specific
date, but February 29th is considered a valid date if you are programming the meter
during a leap year.
When you enter tariff times using the front panel, be aware that the displayed minute
value includes the entire minute. For example, an end time of 01:15 includes the time
from 01:15:00 through 01:15:59. To create a tariff period that starts right after this, you
must set the next tariff’s start time to 01:16. Although it may appear that there is a gap
between these tariffs, there is not.
