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.

Hmm… That manual doesn’t fill me with much confidence…

It’s no wonder those things keep bricking...

So I’ve just read pretty much the entire 143 page tech manual for that meter. Sheesh, I thought the Aclara one was long as 109 pages!!! But this one is worse…

It actually took me an entire day to read it for once.

Unfortunately, while it does confirm that model tracks exports, it fails to explain how to get to said reading. I’ll just have to assume that button mashing will get you there eventually.

And whoever thought that a tiny little square icon to indicate supply status was a good idea… Really needs to rethink UI/UX designs… Sigh…

There’s a reason why Secure uses ON, ARMED, and OFF text and why Aclara and Flonidan both have super easy to understand icons!!!

A big round of applause for managing to get through that whole 143 page manual, @Blastoise186! Like it or not, you’re now up there with our mate Luke for L&G questions 🤣

I started this post over a year ago:  now that I am registered for exporting and have an export Mpan (and that took 6 months) I have now successfully foundthe export readings I need, not though easy and very slow scrolling thorough the permutations.  The other nuisance is that its really difficult to see the readings and a strong external light needed to take a photo even with flash. 

Im really not suprised that so may members have had this problem but hope they get the result they want.

In the display, I find out 3 export readings as follows.

Total Act Export, Total App Export, Total Rea Export.

What do they mean ?

Which export should I read to provide to E.on Next ?

Hi @Kevin Park ,

It’d be Total Act/Account Export :)
