Issue:
A user needs to determine what the serial communications parity is set to on a CM2000 series meter.
Product Line:
CM2000 series meters
Cause:
It may be unclear how to determine what the parity is currently set to.
Resolution:
The default parity on a CM2000 series meter is "even"
You can check the parity setting on the meter in the Setup menu as follows:
1. Press the MODE button until the red LED next to [Setup] is lit.
The circuit monitor displays “ConFig.”
2. Press the PHASE [Enter] button to select the Configuration option.
The circuit monitor displays the password prompt “P - - - -.”
3. Enter the password.
To enter the password, use the SELECT METER [Value] buttons to
Increase or decrease the displayed value until it reaches the password
value. Then press the PHASE [Enter] button to enter the setup menu. (The default meter password is "0000")
4. Press the PHASE [Enter] button until the red LED next to [Baud Rate]
flashes.

- If there is a lowercase “n” beside the baud rate (i.e. 9600n), then the parity is none. If there is nothing beside the baud rate (i.e. 9600) then the parity is even.
