PM8000 Energy Value Display

[Earn]

Hi All,

I have questions regarding energy parameter of PM8000 since I cannot find the information in the manual. Please see the following inquiries:

1. What is the maximum number of digits that can be displayed for PM8240?

2. If the value exceeds the maximum digits, what will happen? Will the unit change from kWh to MWh?

3. What is the maximum unit that can be displayed?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best Regards,

Budsarakum Ruenroeng

Hello @Earn ,
Most of your questions are a loaded question

1) Depends on what the meter's energy rollover value is set to. default setting is 10^7. With this setting the maximum number would be 9,999,999. If you change the rollover value higher, the number displayed would also increase. I would not recommend increasing the rollover value without fully understanding the implications. (floating point resolution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating-point_format) 

2. No the meter does not change units for the display.

3. kWh
