The meter’s magnitude indicator consists of three segments used to simulate the rotation of the
disk on an electromechanical meter. Each state change represents Kt. One complete “revolution”
represents 10 state changes, which represents Kh watt hours or varhours. The meter illuminates
the segments as follows:
If the Wh direction is delivered (or the varh direction is lagging),...
