Reading a smart meter - EDMI ATLAS Mk7B

KevBristol

Hi,


Can any meter readers help out.
I'm trying to switch suppliers and have been asked for a meter reading. The meter is an EDMI ATLAS Mk7B Smart Meter, and there are loads of menus to scroll thru. I cant figure out which is the actual reading that I need to submit.
Thanks - Kev

Are you business or domestic or eco 7 . In domestic with a single rate tariff first screen may show Rate 1 with 8 digits .First 5 digits up to the decimal point is the reading.
what is displaying on the meter ?

Why cant they just be like the old meters and have one line to read ??

The one that says kWh before or after the read.

Why cant they be like old meters? Because site managers and electrical engineeers of a commercial building need more than just consumption to date when monitoring their bills and usage.

Total kwh will be 04054 . The meter can t have been installed too long

Also this is not a smart meter. It is a AMR remote read meter.

It is not used in domestic situations, and will need to be changed.

Cheers - There must be a decimal point missing because the reading on 1st Dec was 114 and hopefully I haven't used 3940 units since then.

The reading from 1st Dec could be wrong though.

This is a maximum demand meter, which isn't really suitable for domestic use so needs to be changed ASAP.

It's likely the profile class will also need changing before you can switch to a residential tariff.

If it is like mine; just read the meter itself, not the wi-fi screen.
