If I leave my meter (Digitax) switched off for 24 hours when I switch it on the time reads 06.37 and the date 2147, after a few minutes the time then goes to 03.20 and a few minutes after that resets to the correct time/date/year. Throughout all this the flag drop is correct and it clocks over at the correct distance, its just the time and date that are wrong. Once it resets it functions correctly until turned off for a long time again.
It doesn't lose any time (if the car batterys disconnected for a couple of hours it loses one or two minutes) so it must still be getting power from the car battery. Any ideas ? Only started doing it now the weathers got colder - could that have something to do with it, is there an internal battery on its way out, but I wouldn't have thought that mattered if connected to an external power source ?
Not a biggie, just could be a problem if I do a job during the first ten minutes and the tariff could be T2 instead of T1 depending on the time of day.
Can you not leave it on when you're not working? It might rectify itself.
