Synergy Smart Power Meter Email EM1000 display register explanation

August 8, 2009  Print This Post

How do I tell how much power I’ve exported to the grid with my smart power meter Email EM1000?

For those customers with a Email EM1000 single phase smart power meter (used by Synergy in Western Australia, and other utility companies elsewhere in Australia), here are the break-downs of what each register or display are on your power meter, assuming Import / Export power, such as a grid-connected solar photovoltaic (solar PV) array…

Pressing the RED button (top-right corner of the smart power meter) changes to the next display / register:

Display / Register number:

1. Total kWh
2. Total kWh – Peak
3. Total kWh – Off Peak
4. Total kWh – Weekday shoulder
5. Total kWh – Weekend shoulder
6. Total kWh – EXPORTED
7. Total kWh – EXPORTED – Peak
8. Total kWh – EXPORTED – Off Peak
9. Total kWh – EXPORTED – Weekday shoulder
10. Total kWh – EXPORTED – Weekend shoulder
11. Voltage (e.g. 240v)
12. Current (Amps) e.g. 2.5A
13. Power Factor (e.g. -0.85)
14. Display Test
15. Time
16. Date

The display / register list then repeats again.

Note: The “Exported” values will appear with a minus or ‘negative’ (-) symbol next to them, to indicate that you have exported power back to the grid .
