The mystery of the new import/export meter

EMF1880

Hi

A couple of weeks ago I had a new Elster A1140 Import/Export meter installed. I have not received any instruction documentation from the utility company. The internet sources I have found are not too clear. It appears to have nine separate readings as I sequence through the digital readouts: Dates, times, etc. Can anyone out there give me a tip on getting a full understanding of this meter. I'd like to be able to see how much I'm exporting to the grid.

Thanks EMF

It looks like it depends on how your meter is programmed, which you might be able to tell from the 'RM' number (if you are in Ireland).

These meters send full details of how much electricity you use every quarter hour back to the supplier. I don't know if the supplier will give you this data.
