Normal Display items are selected by the customer at the time of ordering the meter and are loaded into the meter at the factory. The display segments are illuminated when the meter powers up and every 24 hours when the meter stores information to NVRAM. -
Page 26: Instantaneous Power
LCD Information Delivered - Received Energy: The received energy is subtracted from the delivered energy. This mode of operation is often referred to as net energy. The first three modes of operation always have a positive accumulation. The displayed kWh never decrements and it cannot underflow zero. Instantaneous Power The I-210+ can be configured to display instantaneous power in the lower row of the LCD. -

Chapter 3 • Operating Instructions Real Time Watt Hour Disk Emulator The I-210+ meter display contains a three-segment real-time disk- analog display (caterpillar) that is intended to emulate the motion of an electromechanical meter disk. The states of the disk-analog display are sequenced to give the appearance of left-to-right motion of the disk timing mark when the energy flow is in the delivered direction. -
Page 28: Real Time Energy Direction Indicators
LCD Information Real Time Energy Direction Indicators The meter LCD has a method of indicating the positive or negative nature of energy accumulation relative to normally correct meter installation.

Page 30: Disk Analog Testing
Meter Accuracy Testing Disk Analog Testing The disk analog provides a manual means of checking the calibration of the meter. There are some practical limits to this method of testing. For example, if the load on the meter is very low, the test may take a long time. Conversely, if the load is high, it may be difficult to accurately time the switching of the standard. -

Questions and answers
Reading meter
To read the Aclara I-210+ meter:
1. Watch the display cycle—it changes every 5 seconds.
2. Focus on the data codes 01, 02, and 11.
- Code 01: Total energy imported from the grid (in kilowatt-hours).
- Code 02: Total energy exported to the grid (in kilowatt-hours).
- Code 11: Net energy (may show remaining or net usage).
3. The upper display shows the billing data.
4. The small text below shows the unit (kW or kWh) and the 2-digit data code.
Only these three codes are typically needed to monitor solar power use and net metering.

@Mr. Anderson Thank you Sir, I noticed that right after the provider has conducted meter reading, #2 is again set to Zero, then the value increases from zero to a certain number as days progress. #11 just continues and is not reset every meter reading. I noticed also that #11 is the number of kilowat-hours my solar has exported to the grid. based on your explanation, this is #2 value. Can the settings be interchanged by the energy provider?
My Aclara electric Meter have values from 1 to 28 at the left downward portion of the LCD. Please identify what these values measure? Example #1 measure my energy consumption from my provider in Kwh and #11 is the export in Kwh my on-grid solar system provides, what is the value measured by #2? thank you!
The value measured by #2 on the Aclara I-210+ electric meter indicates kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy consumption. The kWh annunciator (#2) shows that the displayed value is the amount of energy used.
