Self Reading
The C1SD is capable of storing one block of self-read data consisting of kWh and
maximum kW. The TOU versions, the C1ST and C1SL, will store one block of self
read data consisting of kWh and kW for all rates when a self-read is performed.
Self-read data is displayable in Normal or Alternate mode.
A self-read is programmed to initiate in one of three ways:
• Read on manual or electronic demand reset. When a demand reset is initiated,
all energy and maximum demand quantities are immediately transferred to
non-volatile memory.
• Read on a programmed day of the month (C1ST and C1SL only). A specified
date (1st - 28th) can be programmed into the meter to indicate the exact day
that a self-read is to be performed. On this date at 00:00 hours, register
readings are transferred to nonvolatile memory.
If desired, an automatic demand reset can be performed after this self-read.
• Read on a programmable number of days since the last manual or automatic
demand reset (C1ST and C1SL only). If the selected number of days (1 to 150)
passes without a demand reset, a self-read is initiated.
If desired, an automatic demand reset can be performed after this self-read.
Last Season Registers
For a C1ST or C1SL meter, Last Season Registers are selectable in the
programming software. For every Current Season Register there is a Last Season
Register for the same quantity. Last Season registers are stored in memory when a
season change occurs. Last Season registers are designated as LS in the
programming software. Last Season Registers are selectable for display in Normal
and Alternate modes.
Operating Parameters
Programmable parameters establish the meter's configuration and define its
operation in Normal, Alternate, and Test modes (see Table 5.3). Only parameters
specific to the Test mode are displayable in Test mode. Parameters that can be
uploaded using a reading device, but cannot be displayed on the meter are
indicated with an asterisk.
