Test Mode Default Screens; Putting Your Meter In Test Mode Using Ion Setup - Siemens US2:9810T24V User Manual

Maintenance
The meter is usually reading data from a test power supply while function verification is
performed.
The values shown in the test mode display screens represent different accumulators than those
shown in norm or alt mode (although they perform some of the same basic measurements). The
test mode display values are for accuracy checking purposes; they only accumulate while the
meter is in test mode.
You can create custom test mode screens and modify the existing test mode screens.
NOTE: You cannot place revenue-locked meters into test mode.
Several things to note about test mode:
• All of the billing quantities that are recorded when the meter is in Normal mode stop
accumulating when the meter is switched to test mode – the data is sent to special test mode
registers instead.
• The values accumulated in these test registers are displayed on the test mode displays and in
ION Setup.
• The regular normal mode billing registers are unaffected while the meter is in test mode;
accumulation of this data continues as soon as you exit test mode.
• All test registers are reset to zero when you exit test mode.
