communication, as described, and click on Read Meter.

of the menu will indicate the extent to which the meter can be
programmed.

MAXICAL

Qmax are not accessible.
This block is used for all type-approved meters that are to be
verified.

via the programming software.
Note: MAXICAL

III’s daily data and accumulated counter status
are not affected by total programming!
