2. When in multipoint mode, the meter will test the command’s address with the one previously assigned after
the recognition character has been matched. The meter will not respond to the command if addresses do not
match, even if an error has occurred.
3. If the meter is in the Menu or Setpoint mode and receives any transmitted data, it quits that routine, displays
“SERIAL” for up to two seconds, completes its Communication job, and then resets the meter, i.e., hard reset
(RESET 2) from Menu, or soft reset (RESET 1) from Setpoint. (The Rate meter/totalizer or Batch meter resets
respectively, but displays the mode before reverting to RUN.)
4. Any attempt to use push buttons when meter is in Transmit/Receive mode will be denied and followed by the
display of “SERIAL”, indicating that Communication is in process.
