Abstract

The invention relates to a meter comprising a totalizer provided with an electronic display member and covered with a cover (2) exhibiting at least one window (2A) allowing the viewing of an electronic screen (3) centred on the vertical central axis (X) of the meter, said cover (2) bearing official information on its external face (4). According to the invention, said cover (2) is pivotable about said axis (X) and the meter comprises at least one static sensor (5, 6) responsive to the pivoting of said cover (2), said sensor actuating a control of the display of said screen (3), in such a way that the data displayed by this screen are in the same direction of reading (S1, S2) as said official information (4).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to fluid meters, such as water meters or heat meters. Background technique [0002] Such a meter comprises a container with inlet and outlet ducts for the fluid, a measuring chamber equipped with measuring means (eg a turbine) and located in said container, and a totalizer comprising an electronic display and counting means and Covered by a cover having at least one window to allow visualization of a liquid crystal display that can indicate consumption, alarms or the date. This cover may also include a window that enables access to buttons for waking up the screen and turning it off to save energy. Official information such as manufacturer, technical data and serial number are printed on the upper surface of the cover. [0003] The relative position of the window corresponding to the screen to the official data is determined when the cover of the meter is manufactured so that this screen and the data can be read along on...
