The Energy Detector is a cover added by GregTech 5. It can be attached to GregTech Machines with its main use on Battery Buffers and is able to detect the stored Energy in the Machine (but not the Batteries inside the block; even the Battery Buffer has an internal buffer it uses before using the inserted Batteries) and the energy input/output. The modus can be changed by right-clicking the Energy Detector with a Screwdriver. It has the following modi:
Modus
Description
Normal Universal Storage
Emits a redstone signal based on how full the internal buffer is
Inverted Universal Storage
Emits a redstone signal based on how empty the internal buffer is
Normal Electricity Storage
Emits a redstone signal based on how full the internal energy buffer is
Inverted Electricity Storage
Emits a redstone signal based on how empty the internal energy buffer is
Normal Steam Storage
Emits a redstone signal based on how full the internal steam buffer is
Inverted Steam Storage
Emits a redstone signal based on how empty the internal steam buffer is
Normal Average Electric Input
Emits a redstone signal based on how much of its maximum energy input is used
Inverted Average Electric Input
Emits a redstone signal based on how much of its maximum energy input has not been used
Normal Average Electric Output
Emits a redstone signal based on how much of its maximum energy output is used
Inverted Average Electric Output
Emits a redstone signal based on how much of its maximum energy output has not been used
