Front Panel
The front panel contains the following indicators and controls:
Three rows of alphanumeric displays, four digits each, display three RMS
parameters simultaneously or one energy parameter. The displayed
readings update every second.
For each row: Kilo, Mega (Kilo + Mega = Giga) indicator, and a Negative
(-) indicator.
Load bar, which gives a unique analog indication of % loading (% FS CT
Pri).
Five keys to scroll through the display page.

Eight-segment LED display
The power meter solves the problem of tiny cluttered indicators by
prominently displaying the parameter name right on the large,
alphanumeric readouts.
For the first time in a panel meter, the parameter name is as clearly
readable as the value.
In order to know which parameter value is currently displayed, the power
meter displays the parameter name for two seconds, as well as each time
you press a key, and then the value for eight seconds.
This method also allows programmable phase soft-Labels in the power
meters. You can choose from 123 (factory setting), ABC, RYB, PQR or
RST.
Analog Load Bar
Unique indication of total load % with respect to the full scale through the 12
LEDs at the right side of the display.
This is bar graph, where each LED indicates 10% of load.
To find the total load, count the number of illuminated LEDs, and then
multiply by 10.
Table 1-1: Load percentage and bar graph indication
Green LEDs are lit to indicate that the load is acceptable and should not
increase further.
Red LEDs are lit to indicate that the load has exceeded the sanctioned
limit and is dangerous.
