3.2.3: Exiting Test Mode
Exit Test Mode in one of the following three ways:
• Press and hold the Test Button for more than three seconds, but less than ten
seconds, and then release it.
• Use the Test Mode Time-out Timer, if no load is present.
• Use the Extended Test Mode Time-out Timer, if load is present.
These options are explained further in the following sections.
Exiting Test Mode Details:
Test Mode Button
Pressing the Test Mode Button for more than three seconds, but less than ten
seconds, and then releasing it, ends Test Mode and returns the meter to Normal
Mode.
Test Mode Time-out Timer
The Test Mode Time-out Timer has two modes of operation, depending on whether
the meter sees measurable load.
If the meter does not recognize measurable load:
The meter watches for user interaction by monitoring activity on the Test Button and
the Reset Button. If neither button is pushed within the programmed Exit Delay time,
the meter exits Test Mode and returns to Normal Mode. Each time the Test or Reset
Button is pressed, the meter starts the Exit Delay Timer again. The Exit Delay time is
programmed in the meter’s Device Profile in the System Settings screen (see 26.1.3
CommunicatorPQA®, MeterManagerPQA®, and EnergyPQA.com

, for instructions).
If the Meter recognizes measurable load:
The meter watches the Test and Reset Buttons for activity, using an extended time
limit consisting of the Exit Delay time plus the programmed Demand Interval Time.
This insures that the meter completes a full block Demand test without interruption.
