Radio Telemeter series K Help

Does anyone have experience of these meters or a manual for them. (All manuals available by searching google provide only adware and other nonsense)

I am utterly confused. I had a faulty meter when I moved into the property which was subsequently replaced by the meter above. I am on an economy 7 tariff with a day rate and a night rate, the meter shows rate 1 and rate 2 and has readings for them but has a further reading with no name. The meter only ever seems to say that the current rate is either 1 or 2 so I am very confused as to what the 3rd reading is, and it is lower than the combination of the other two readings so does not appear to simply be a total.

  • The further reading will be a total of the two.It may be lower than the other two because the meters only go up to 5 figures, 99999 then resets to zero so if day is 60,000 units and night is 80,000 the total will be 40,000 shown on the meter. (100000 plus 40,0000. Radio Telemeter is just a very accurate controller of when the rates are switched and nothing really to do with the meter. So long as you can establish which rate that 1 and 2 refers to you can check that the suppliers get it right and don`t transpose the two readings.See which rate advances in the daytime hours.Usually rate 1 would be day rate, but not always, it could be rate 2.
