Electronic Volume Correctors and Pulsers
Often, larger meters may be equipped with electronic correctors with pulsed outputs or separate pulsers that provide a pulse
output at a predetermined value. The pulse value might range anywhere from 5 cubic feet per pulse up to 1000 cubic feet per
pulse and may vary by how a utility has programmed the device. Refer to Sections 2 and 3 for additional information
regarding Rotary Meters and Correctors.
Step 3: Determine Number of Digits in Consumption Reading
Each meter index will have either a series of dials or odometers that present the accumulated consumption reading. Typically,
residential meters have 4 digits but occasionally may have 5 digits. Larger meters may typically have 5 or 6 digits.
Examples include:
