Digital Electric Meter Flashing Red

The voltage output from this divider is passed along the green.

Digital electric meter flashing red.

Like quote userlevel 3 1. Once you find the electric meter you will notice a small lcd screen which flashes various numbers and letters during normal operation. Apparently it s so you can see if the meter is being bypassed if you walk in and see there s a solid red light and it s obvious there s electricity being used then you know there s something not right. Either 1 or 2 reading will be flashing enter this one into the electricity day normal box on the meter reading form.

Great point you raised there araldojanes. Pictured above is a schematic of how an arduino uno can be used to detect if the electricity meter led is on or off. The household electric consumption meter now shows an error message red every few seconds and when there is only a light load the red light that normally flashes or is off is now on solidly. Last month my electric supplier got siemens in to fit a new electric meter.

The guy removed the old meter which was a big black box with revolving digital readout and replaced it with a cute dinky one that has an lcd digital readout. The meter has what appears to be two leds on it right next to each other. 110 replies 1 year ago 1 may 2019. It will cycle through this flashing routine in about 10 15 seconds.

This has only happened since the installation. Keep your eyes on the meter. The arduino can be programmed to work out the flashing rate and depending on that rate open or close relays to control appliances. Here reading 1 is 19937 and reading 2 is 11362.

Occasionally the electric meter may be mounted on a stand closer to the street. Then just enter the other into the electricity night low box. The only thing that s worth noting is if you book a smart meter exchange both your electric and gas meter will be exchanged. A voltage divider is made with the light dependent resistor and a 10k resistor.

Electric meter flashing 888888 posted by charlie1 a year ago just gone to submit my meter readings and my electric one is flashing all 888888 but still a red supply light flashin.
