- Read the dials ‘backward’ from
right to left.
- Write down the number that the
pointer has just passed for each dial. Read the
first dial clockwise, the second dial
counterclockwise and alternate according to the
arrow guides.
- Write down the numbers for each
dial reading from right to left to get the total
kilowatt-hours registered on the meter. In the
example below, the number is 19375.
- Similar to your car’s odometer,
if over the years the last dial of the meter
completes a full revolution (100,000 kilowatt-hours
on a five-dial meter), add a “1” in front of the
next reading to determine the total number of
kilowatt-hours used (this would now be a 6-digit
number).
