Interpreting PAFAL 16EC3rn/1 Energy Meter Readings: 700 or 70.0 kWh?

The topic is simple and obvious for many people, so I apologize in advance for cluttering up the forum.

I recently moved into a new apartment and today I checked the energy meter. I was terrified when I saw the last 3 digits, which indicated 700. I have no idea whether I should read it as 700kWh or 70.0kWh. Could I ask dear forum members for help?

Once again, I apologize for the trivial question, but at the same time I can't believe it, I cry when I think that I could have used as much as 700kWh in 10 days, even with electric heating...

Best regards and I hope for your understanding and help

How did you read it?

Maybe it's from a previous period.

0.0.0 - factory number of the counter
0.9.1 - current clock time
0.9.2 - current date
15.8.0 - total energy
15.8.1 - total energy in zone A
15.8.2 - total energy in zone B
15.8.3 - total energy in zone C
15.8.4 - total energy in zone D
15.6.0 - maximum power of the current period
15.36 - number of exceeded maximum power in the current period
15.2.0 - maximum accumulated power
0.9.1 + DA - closing time of the previous period
0.9.2 + DA - closing date of the previous period
15.8.0 + DA - total energy in the previous period
15.8.1 + DA - total energy zone A in the previous period
15.8.2 + DA - total energy zone B in the previous period
15.8.3 + DA - total energy zone C in the previous period
15.8.4 + DA - total energy zone D in the previous period
15.6.0 + DA - maximum power of the previous period
15.36 + DA - number of times the maximum power was exceeded in the previous period
0.1.0 - number of closed accounting periods
0.2.0 - version of the counter program
0.2.2 - tariff name

The first basic in which Tariff G11, G12..
The second issue is the single-tariff meter reading from item 15.8.0 - total energy
Dual tariff meter 15.8.0 - total energy Sum of zones A and B
zone A (first tariff) 15.8.1
zone B (second tariff) 15.8.2

It is possible that you read from item 15.8.0 + DA - total energy in the previous period, and that is why it turned out the way it did.

I read what was shown regularly on the panel... I didn't click anything... it turns out it alternates with G11.

What kind of electric heating do you have, maybe that's what it took :)

When the consumption is displayed (700 kWh), the code numbering is also displayed.
Above, smaller numbers.
And see if it increases, because if it is from the previous period, it will not increase.

It increases... 15.8.0, heating Kospel EKO.LN2-8 or something like that... the power on the boiler did not increase above 4kW

When you moved in, was it 0kWh?
Maybe it's consumption from over a month, not 10 days

If you actually have about 4kWh of power consumed, then you could have slightly consumed 700kWh during these 10 days, check whether the heating is not on all the time, check from today, e.g. if it's 40kWh, you have a problem

The boiler runs non-stop, but the thermostat is set to around 21-25*C. The heating turns on from time to time. I feel a financially difficult month... or even several... I will also add that in about 6 hours it charged approximately 6 kWh

The meter was installed a new one a few days after I moved in... so even more...

Monitor energy consumption, you mention that the meter was recently installed, find the replacement report, check the condition of the meter. 1kWh per hour with electric heating is not much, but it still doesn't add up, let's say 24kWh per day for 10 days gives us about 240kWh, and you write about 700kWh, in fact we had frosts, maybe I had the thermostat raised to a higher temperature, I suggest checking it by next 24 hours, and then, if possible, turn off the heating completely and check the situation. Perhaps the meter is damaged - it happens even with new ones, the possible cost of sending it to the laboratory and checking it is payable if it turns out that the system is functional. If the system is damaged, the inspection is free of charge and you are entitled to a refund of the incorrectly charged payment.

There is also an electric stove, but it is used quite rarely. I will add that both elements are powered by force.

5kW was added in an hour and a half. I'm terrified...

Wujek94 is also gone
He counted that it is or should be and has 10x less wear.

I will cry. Its maximum power consumption is 3x8kW. I think I'll test the durability of the lighting poles with a string at work No, you idiot, but I'm still devastated. It draws approximately 20kWh +- 3kWh per day

It's still good that winter isn't harsh this year

... still Do you think that a washing machine with an area of 23 m^2 will be more economical?

You can use the washcloth to warm up, but not warm, such a surface.
Moreover, I do not recommend leaving it on unattended or at night when you go to bed.
Look on the Internet for videos of what happens to lamps that are connected for too long.
