16 mins confidence: 
P/N or N-type semiconductor Explanation: This is a guess. Seems unlikely in customer complaints, but on the other hand one obvious meaning of N-ledar is negative-type semiconductors in the field of electronics (Transistors etc are operated either by positive or negative current or voltage). PEN is more mysterious, unless it is a typo for P/N (positive/negative). Could it refer to technical faults in the meter? |
