Alternate Display Mode
The Alternate Display Mode is functionally identical to the Normal Mode. The meter itself
still operates under normal measurement, but the display sequence can be programmed to
show a different set of displayable items from those in the Normal Display Mode.
While in Alternate Display Mode, the “ALT” annunciator on the lower left of the display
designates activation of the Alternate Display Mode. Upon completion of the Mode Time-
out period, the meter automatically returns to the Normal Display Mode.
Toolbox Display Mode
Toolbox Display Mode is identical to Normal Mode except that the list of displayable items
is a fixed list dependent on the service type.
You can enter the Toolbox Mode from either
Normal or Alternate Mode. While in Toolbox
Mode, a flashing “TEST” appears on the left side of the display.
Once activated, the Toolbox Mode scrolls through the list of per-phase items and diagnostic
counters. The table below shows an example of a 3-element meter.
