ABOUT YOUR METER
Your Elster A100C Meter has been chosen by your Service Provider to measure the amount of
energy flowing through your installation. Some features described in this manual may not be exactly
the same as your particular installation. For instance information viewed on the Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) may not be exactly the same as shown in this manual. Rest assured, the basic operation is
exactly the same and you should have no difficulty in following the 'step by step' guides described in
this manual.

SAFETY
SAFETY
To prevent fire or shock hazard, never expose the meter to water
Parts of the internal circuits of your meter are connected to phase voltages. These circuits are
highly dangerous if they are touched in any way, and could result in an electric shock or fatality.
For this reason the internal circuits of the meter are protected by a snap on cover which cannot be
removed without breaking. The phase voltages are protected by a sealed terminal cover. You
should 'never' attempt to remove the Terminal Cover seal of the meter.
Liquid Crystal Display
Liquid crystals are toxic. If the display of your meter is damaged you should avoid contact with
any liquid that may be seeping from it.
If the liquid makes contact with your skin, wash the affected area thoroughly with running water
and soap.
If liquid crystals get into your eye, flush the affected eye with clean water for at least 15 minutes.
If liquid crystal is swallowed, flush your mouth thoroughly with water, drink large quantities of
water to induce vomiting.
Immediately Seek medical advice.
Report the damage to your Service Provider

HOW TO CHECK YOUR METER IS WORKING
Cumulative Energy Register
As your installation generates electricity a display (similar to the one
shown opposite) will increment, allowing you to calculate exactly how
much electricity you are generating over a given period of time.
When the Red kWh Energy Indicator is 'Flashing' the generating system
is producing electricity. The faster it 'Flashes' the more electricity you are
producing. If the indicator is permanently 'On', no electricity is being
produced.
Energy Generated Example:
Cumulative Energy Register Reading - 001647.8kW
Energy Reading After 24 Hours - 001651.9kW
Energy Produced Over 24 Hour Period - 4.1kW
YOUR METER DISPLAY
The meter will display the cumulative amount of energy produced by your generation installation.
On Power Up the "Test Display" may be shown.
kWh: Amount of energy being produced by your generating equipment over a period of one hour.
