When a new or unacknowledged message is available on your
PowerTab, the lights will show this by simultaneously blinking once every
7 seconds. The lights will continue to blink until you have acknowledged
this message or changed to another display screen.
When no new messages are present, the lights will indicate the current
relative cost of electricity. A pulsing light indicates the price period you
are currently in, while a blinking light in conjunction with a pulsing light
indicates an upcoming price period change. The special case of Critical
Peak Pricing (CPP) is indicated when the red light is blinking on its own.
The exact behaviour of the lights is dependent on the number of active
price tiers, however green will always indicate the cheapest tiers, and
red the most expensive.
The following table shows examples of the lights’ behaviour for a typical
time-of-use pricing structure involving four price tiers: Off-Peak, Mid-Peak,
On-Peak, and CPP.
