Non-Fatal Errors
Error Code Error Possible Cause(s) Error Description
Err 1-----
Low
Battery
Error
Battery Voltage
Low
Battery Not
Connected
Properly
A low battery check is
performed once a day and
upon a set clock procedure. A
low battery continues to
function; however, its reliability
decreases over time. As long
as the meter is not powered
down with a dead or missing
battery, the meter will continue
to function as normal.
If the meter is powered down
with a dead or missing battery,
then, when power is restored,
the meter’s clock will be off by
the duration of the outage, and
Load Profile and TOU will be
halted.
Err -2----
Loss of
Phase
Error
The voltage on
one of the phases
dropped below 45
volts.
The voltage on each phase is
checked every five seconds. A
phase must fail twice in a row
to cause an error. A Demand
Reset will clear this error.
Err --3---
Time-of-
Use
(TOU)
Error
• Current Season is
not programmed.
• Current Year is not
programmed.
• TOU halted due to
power down with
dead or missing
battery.
This is tested at power-up, at
midnight crossings, at season
changes, upon reconfigures
and upon set clocks.
Depending on the cause of the
error, it can be cleared with a
corrective reconfigure or with a
set clock with a good battery
present.
Err ---4--
Reverse
Power
Flow
Error
The configured
reverse power
threshold has
been reached
Reverse power is tested every
second and an accumulator for
it is maintained. If power is
delivered during the second,
then the accumulator is
cleared. If power is received
during the second, then the
accumulator is incremented. If
the accumulator reaches the
configured reverse power
threshold, then the error is
triggered.
A Demand Reset will clear this
error.
