REX Meter
Technical Manual 5 Testing
Status codes. The REX meter displays status codes as an indication of the
operational status of the meter. Unlike error codes, the status code does not
indicate a problem with the REX meter. See Figure 5-2 for a sample status code
displayed on the meter LCD. Table 5-2 describes the different conditions and
their codes.
Status codes are appended to the display list if both of the following items are
valid:
■ the condition causing the status code exists
■ status codes have been selected as a display item
Status codes are indicated on the LCD by an F followed by a 5-digit numerical
code indicating the specific condition that has occurred. Status codes can be
displayed in combination (F01010, for example), indicating that one or more
status conditions have been detected.

Table 5-2. Status conditions and codes
F10000: No load side voltage when service control switch is closed. This
code indicates that there is no load side voltage present when the service
control switch is supposedly closed. This code can indicate a malfunction with
the service control switch. If this status code is displayed, contact Elster
Electricity.
F01000: Demand threshold exceeded. This code indicates that the demand
has exceeded the programmed demand threshold. It is displayed once the
demand threshold has been exceeded and is cleared by a demand reset, clear
billing data, or clear data command.
