Control means (202 to 208) affixed to a rear surface of the display portion are provided for moving the indicator(s) (14) over the scale(s) (16). The control means (202 to 208) includes a remote device management module (202) which is controllable from a remote location (110, 120) over a communications network (100) to move the indicator(s) (14) to the predetermined level (16.1 to 16.6).
