Creating an apportioned meter

You can create an apportioned meter when you add a device to a hierarchy node by changing the value in the Percentage field in the Add Device References dialog. The default value is 100 percent. The percentage can be a negative, positive, or integer value. The percentage field is restricted to 15 characters. Time intervals for apportioned meters function in the same way as devices. See Meter apportionment for more information.

To create an apportioned meter:

1. In Hierarchy Manager, open the AREAS tab.
2. Select the area for which you want to create an apportioned meter and click Edit to open the properties dialog.
3. In the area properties dialog, under Devices, select the device and click Edit. This opens the Edit Device References dialog.
4. Change the value in the Percentage field.
5. If required, click the From or To fields to change the start and end dates for the apportioned meter.
6. Click OK.
