How To Read An Encoder

The HR-E LCD encoder has a 9-digit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to show consumption, flow and alarm information. The display automatically toggles between 9-digit and 6-digit consumption, rate of flow and meter model.

VISUAL READING DISPLAYS

• The 9-digit display provides your utility with the finest reading resolution.
• The 6-digit display represents the equivalent of the moveable number wheels on a 6-dial mechanical encoder.
