May be of some use, I had trouble with this and the previous video was a bit naff with no explanation with what was going on so I made my own:

 

 

Hopefully it’ll help you.

Thanks for everyone's comments so far!

Pressing A repeatedly allows you to scroll through all the different readings, everything but Rate 02.

I've also got a video of my girlfriend following the same instruction as for other L&G models and failing, just need to work out how to upload...

Is the meter definitely set up with two rates? Is the reading for rate 01 less than the reading for the overall rate?

I'm not sure whether it is setup for two rates, would this be a question for the engineer that installed it? The other versions of the same Meyer have the 2nd rate available.

 

Rate 01 I the only rate available, the only other figures related to import, export, etc

In theory, all Smart Meters should be capable of managing a two-rate tariff like Economy 7.

However, L+G refuse to talk to me or engage with me - I know from previous experience - and without access to any of their resources, it’s difficult to know whether there’s variants of the E470 that can’t do it.

@Blastoise186  Is this something the energy company can help with? Would they be able to work out if a meter is set up with two rates, or one?

 

@fintheowl  Does the property have storage heaters, so would be expected to be on a two rate tariff?

Should be possible as there are SMETS Commands for it that can be run under the Supplier role. :)

I finally got to play with one of these meters and it seems a combination of what’s been said is true. They are capable of more than one rate and you found the scrolling through part. To read the second rate, you need to follow the earlier instructions of holding both buttons for approx 10 seconds then release and your scroll should then show the second register alongside the other parameters.

 Ok, thanks! We’ll give that a try.

It took me a few goes to get to see R02. It’s a strange set up

Is this the elusive manual people are looking for:
