is shown in the upper right of the screen. The average cost per pay for the previous
time period is shown in the lower right of the screen
This screen is overwritten with the values from the Total to Date screen each time the
current time period is restarted. If the current time period has not been restarted at
least once, then there will be no data values for this screen and it will not be displayed.
Current Price
The Current Price screen shows the price
of electricity that is currently in effect. The
rate is shown in cents per kilowatt-hour.
The current price is usually obtained from
the value you manually set in the Set Rate
screen. To manually set the current price
value, simply press and release both
buttons simultaneously. This will put you
in Configuration Mode. Move through the
Restart screen and Select Language
screen to get to the Set Rate screen, where you can change the current price value.
This new value will become the current price, and the Rate Label will be displayed as
“Set by User”. It is also possible to read the price directly from the smart meter. If you
manually set the price to zero, and the meter supports this feature, then the EMU-2
™
will check the price with the meter every 2 minutes. If no price value has been set
–
either by the smart meter or manually
– then dashes are shown for the price digits. For
some utilities, the price can also be set by a special message sent to the meter by the
utility. This message will be displayed as a text message on the Message screen, and
the price will be automatically set. This will override any price value that has been set
manually.
Message
The Message screen will display a text
message when there is a message from
your utility. Your EMU-2
™ checks every 2
minutes for a new message. When a new
message is received, the Indicator LED
Lights will flash in a special red-yellow
sequence to show that a new message is
waiting for you to see. The envelope icon
will also appear in the upper left hand
corner of the screen to indicate that there
is an active message. To see the message, use the buttons to go to the Message
