Device Diagnostic Codes
in Appendix F for the list of
diagnostic codes and their meanings.
Frequent hardware failures may be the result of excessive electrical noise in
the region of the device. If the meter continuously resets itself, contact your
local distributor.
A configuration reset may also be a result of the legal changes in the meter
configuration whenever other configuration data could be affected by the
changes.
