Thanks all for your suggestions. It seem there’s a cap on the meter that I can’t get off. Any suggestions

I've had this situation on numerous rental properties I own. What I do is roll up my sleeve, get an old cloth, reach down and wipe the meter glass clean, then take a torch shine it on the meter and take the reading. It's messy but really quite simple.0

I have the same meter. The cap/lid is on a hinge at the top, so you'll need something long with a hook or 90 degree bend at the end on it to lift it open using the small lip on the left hand side.
