﻿### Behaviour after meter expiry

This parameter defines whether the intermediate counter is reset and restarted after it elapses or if it stays elapsed.

In the "Reset meter and restart" setting, the meter counts until the defined end value is reached. Once this end value is reached, the meter reading is reset and the meter begins counting pulses from the defined start value again.

In the "Meter remains elapsed (reset required)" setting, the intermediate meter counts until the defined end value is reached. Once this end value is reached, the intermediate counter stops counting. The intermediate meter must be reset before it can start counting pulses from the defined start value again.

The "Meter reset via object" parameter is permanently set to "active" in the "Meter stays elapsed" setting. In the same way, the configured "Behaviour after meter has elapsed" defines the behaviour of the meter if the end value received by the communication object is smaller or greater than (depending on the counting direction) the current meter reading.
