The Series 7000 meter utilizes ANSI or IEEE conventions for reporting the power factor value. As such, it may report as a negative value. The following outlines what to anticipate when the power factor is indicated as either positive or negative:
| PF Convention Setting | Q1 (Import, Inductive) | Q2 (Export, Capacitive) | Q3 (Export, Inductive) | Q4 (Import, Capacitive) |
| ANSI (default setting) | + | - | + | - |
| IEEE | + | - | - | + |
