Supercapacitor
The supercapacitor circuitry allows the metrology and clock to remain operational while the main
battery is disconnected. When fully charged, the supercapacitor circuitry provides power for key
functions for at least 15 minutes (excluding power for communications).

The LCD is the main user interface for the meter. It provides feedback during installation,
manufacture, calibration, diagnosing issues and for customer reference. The LCD consists of two
rows of dot matrix characters (Figure 8-1).
A long press of the right or left key activates the LCD:
