Hialeah KWH meter wiring diagrams [RE-wrenches]

I installed a form 2S Type J5S meter (reconditioned Schlumberger cyclometer
from Austin Int) on an Outback system exactly like Doug described. We don't
have the sell-back upgrade yet, but it's clear that it is not working
properly. All grid power in spins the meter dial forward, whether it's
charging the batteries, or pass-through/bypass to the subpanel load.

So, I understand that the legs going into the 2S meter need to be 240-V?This
system has an X-240 transformer for the well pump. However, it's switched on
by the pressure switch to save energy. Is it possible to use this
transformer to do the necessary hocus-pocus? Or, will it be easier to get a
form 12S meter and 5th socket upgrade kit?
