Gas rating on a pre-pay meter?

[Scott_D]

Am I missing a trick or is it just a case of pushing the update button at the right time and not taking your eye off of it?:64:

'A' button twice isn't it to get reading then again at the end.

 

[Scott_D]

Yeah but if you leave it for 2 minutes it 'turns off' and takes a few seconds to get going

It takes a few seconds to show the reading, but it takes the reading when you press the button. So press button and start timing, press button and stop, and the readings will be 2 mins apart. It's covered in TB112.

With the appliance to be checked operating at maximum rating setting

At this stage ensure that ON is displayed in the Right Hand top corner.
If OFF is shown the meter is either out of credit or the anti-tamper device has been triggered. No gas will will flow.
3. Press and release button A. Static index is the displayed

Now have your stop watch ready.
4. Press and release button B and start stop watch at the same time.
Please wait..... appears again

theres a nice little tb out there telling you how to do it

 

[stevetheplumber]

once you get the hang of these there the easist as the numbers are all ways frozen the thing to remember is its when you press the black button, that takes the reading even though it doesnt show for a few second
when you press the black button press the stopwatch as wellboth at start and finish

The same process should be applied for the new gas Smart meters btw.
