Mechanical meters

SRP uses the following mechanical meters.

Older analog meters

Digital:
The digital meter displays numbers in four or five windows. If you have this meter, you simply record the numbers (for instance, in Figure 1, your reading would be 8304).

Dial:
Most SRP meters are dial-blazon meters that have four or five clock-similar faces numbered in clockwise and counterclockwise directions (run across Figure two.). For these meters, yous need to read the dials from right to left, co-ordinate to the direction of the arrow. Follow these guidelines when reading the dials:

  • If the arrow is between two numbers, tape the lowest number. (Unless it is 9 and 0, and then you should tape the 9.)
  • If the pointer is directly on a number, look at the dial to the right. If the arrow is between 9 and 0, tape the smaller number. If it is between 0 and i, record the larger number.
  • To calculate usage, read the numbers you recorded for each dial from left to right (our example reading would be 9079). To decide how many kilowatt-hours (kWh) y'all have used, decrease the previous reading from the current reading and multiply the difference by the meter multiplier, which can be constitute on your meter.
