How to read your Smart Meter
Icons and Indicators
Smart meters record your home or business’s
electricity consumption data every half hour
and deliver it automatically to CitiPower and
Powercor Australia for processing. We make
this data available to your electricity retailer for
billing purposes.
This reference guide explains what information
you can see on your meter, and how to read it.
In future, you can expect your electricity retailer
to offer you different tariffs based on the time
you use power. Retailers and others will also
offer information display units and websites to
help you better understand and manage your
electricity consumption.
Indicates the current register reading.
E1 and E2 indicate the direction of energy through the meter on each
of two circuits at your premises. The left arrow indicates the energy
exported into the electricity grid, and the right arrow the energy imported
from the electricity grid to your premises. E1 represents the first circuit,
and E2 represents a second circuit, if available at your premises.
On, Armed and Off switch icons show the various states
of connection of the meter as follows:
On: The meter is connected.
Armed: Indicates that the meter is waiting to be turned
on when the property is uninhabited, for example,
in the case of a change of occupants. To draw your
attention to this status, the lights on either side of the
Scroll button will flash until the meter is switched on.
Off: The meter is disconnected.
Hot water boost – if you have this function
If you have off-peak water heating and run out of hot water, the meter
supports a boost facility which heats your hot water once, when you
see this symbol. The electricity used to reheat your water may be charged
at peak rate.
To boost your hot water, press and hold the Scroll button for five seconds
until the SW1 and Boost icons display. You can operate this function
regardless of what register is showing on the display panel.
You should not need to press the Scroll button to boost your hot water
if you have an electric water heater fitted with automatic reheat.
