[silverbullet]

For those Monolinguists among us  who have that "Special " meter:

Getting meter sealed next week but the time is 4 minutes slow.  I used to be able to move the meter forward by
2 minutes at 11.58 but this is not possible since the meter was reprogrammed last week.  Would this be a fail anyone know?  Thanks.

should be ok Ken in Skan told me there is 59 minutes +/_ allowed .My meter was 12 minutes out last time I did SGS .

Think we're allowed 5 mins.Bring it back to the installer just in case it keeps advancing by next week.Also ask them how to  change it for future reference.Some lads used to change the time on any dash clock to match the meter.

Anyone know if there's still a queue at Skan?..

The allowance for the LRA is more than 5 mins, mine was 19 minutes fast last time. One would imagine it needs to be closer than that for meter sealing.

The 2 minute adjustment is generally only allowed once per week so, as your meter was programmed and adjusted last week, it may work again any day now?

[Smccartn]

Yeah that probably explains it, it’s a week tomorrow so I’ll
Try the 2 minute thing again.  Thanks for the help.

It doesen't need to be 11.58, you can do it at any hour.
Rats posted this before, very handy;

Depends on the meter, Digitax meters will only allow change at 11:57 to 12:03

So you can put it forward up to 3 minutes or back up to 3 minutes

There has been all kinds of figures fer meter incrementation bandied about fer many years,
from as little as 2 minutes to as much as 59 minutes.
If'n anyone is getting a re-seal this week, then please ask the person in charge what exactly
is allowed fer minutes out on a meter, and post it up here.
