To enter a manual meter reading once the numeric keypad is displayed, view the meter’s
register and note the reading. Next, enter the reading onto the keypad that is displayed on
the touch screen and press the enter key when you are done.
Water meters are typically read from left to right, while electric meters are typically read
right to left. The ReadAll can handle meter readings gathered in either direction. When
the numeric keypad is displayed, the upper right hand corner of the display shows the
direction of the read. An arrow pointing to the right (  ) denotes that the meter reading
is from left to right. When you enter a meter reading, the reading will be displayed in the
box at the top of the display, from left to right. For example, if you entered the reading as
7826 going from left to right, you’d see this screen.
To change the direction of the meter reading, press the arrow. The ReadAll will change
the direction of the arrow to pointing to the left (  ). When you enter a meter reading
now, the reading will be shown on the display from right to left. Using the same
example, if you entered 7826 going from right to left (the arrow pointing to the left),
you’d see this screen.
