Abstract
A meter (10) for receiving signals from a device and presenting status information according to received signals. A microprocessor (12) generates a status signal regarding the status of connected equipment according to the received signals and a predefined boundary for the presented status information. A nighttime indicator and a daytime indicator on the meter's pointer present status information to a viewer according to the generated status signal. The nighttime indicator includes one or more LED(s) (49), a translucent pointer (46) and an angled light deflecting surface (48) for deflecting light generated by the LED(s) to the clear pointer. The daytime indicator includes a cap (36) over the light deflecting surface and a hole (60) through the cap for allowing LED generated light that passes through the deflecting surface to illuminate to a viewer.
