Itron Centron Watt-Hour Meter, Read real-time use, yourself - Page 2

I have an Itron Net Meter..it does run backwards during the day in a bottom line on the meter. My quesstion is, what happens when it runs backwards and gets back down to zero? It is now still running backwards but I am confused with the readings.

If it's a Itron C1STR3, you might be able to read it using this info..

I've never even seen a picture of a Itron meter that had more than one numeric LCD display.
And, I really have no idea about 'What happens' when it runs down to zero.

It doesnt have more than one digital reading display..it is the same display but there are 2 dotted arrow lines lines below it instead of one. A top line will have the dots moving to the right...delivering..the bottom line (when solar is on) will have dots moving to the left..receiving. (by Edison).

So, I guess that means we don't know what happens after it goes backwards and "zeros out" (it actually diplayed all 999999). Maybe someone else would know? Thanks for replying though...truly appreciated.

I went to the link you sent and there it was in black and white! Once it hit 99999 it reads backwards from there...simple. Thanks so much for the link..answered all my questions!
