• Read the dials from left to right
• If the pointer is between two numbers, always take the lower
number
• If the pointer falls between 9 and 0, write down 9
• Ignore red dials, ones marked ‘100 per rev’ and the largest dial
So in this example, the dial meter reading will be 6653.
Each dial turns in the opposite direction to the one before it. Before
you read your dial meter, check the direction of your dials. They
may not be exactly as those illustrated above. Every dial on every
meter revolves from 0 to 1 and on to 9 before continuing to 0 again.
