-
1.
Power batteries serve complete life time period of calibration interval-12 years (the meter’s screen is lighted, only when the button is pressed) unlike the other counting devices, where power batteries are out of service after the first year of exploitation, according to gas-service workers. The maximum life time period of the power battery is 6-7 years (replacement of the power batteries cause many complicated actions to be done by a consumer and for his/her expense, including secondary verification).

The ability of installation both in vertical and horizontal position: the meter’s screen adjusts browsing the information, depending on the device’s position-just the same way that modern smartphones rotate the picture, when the phone is held horizontally, and flips back to vertical image when the phone is held normally.
-
5.
The ability to view the history of gas consumption per each month during the last year (instead of constantly active line showing the current indicators of consumption like it is done at similar devices).

6.
Very easy and convenient way of installation by a bayonet nut (affordable for consumer).
-
7.
The most favorable terms for warranty service (the repeated visit of the installer to replace the counter under warranty is carried out at the manufacturer’s expense by mutual settlements with the company that sold the meter) instead of directing that expense of the consumer or the store that sold the defective product.
How to rotate the screen on a meter’s display?
