E460 Series 1 IDIS G3-PLC 1-Phase DIN-Rail
Description:
The E460 single phase DIN-Rail split prepayment meter using G3-PLC technology, is an advanced smart STS prepayment meter solution.
The E460 solution is based on open standards, using G3-PLC OFDM communications between the meter, P160 Customer Interface Unit and the Data Concentrator. The E460 meter may be utilized in an off-line mode as a stand-alone split prepayment meter, or in an on-line mode as part of an end to end AMI smart metering solution.
Split Metering Functionality The split metering solution consists of two parts, the E460 meter and the P160 customer interface unit. Communication between the meter and the customer interface unit is by means of G3-PLC Power Line Carrier, using existing household wiring; no additional communication wires are required.
The P160 Customer Interface Unit is compact with a user-friendly keypad and display. It may be installed in any convenient location in the consumer’s home where there is an electrical socket outlet. An easily replaceable battery is provided for communicating in the absence of AC mains power e.g. when the meter is out of prepayment credit.
The E460 meter contains all critical metering, token decryption, load control and smart meter functionality. It operates independently and is immune to any form of tampering on the Customer Interface Unit.
The E460 1ph DIN-Rail meter is typically installed in a pole-top enclosure or secure street kiosk and its small size enables a smaller street kiosk to be used. When used in conjunction with the DC450 G3-PLC Data Concentrator, the meter is able to operate in an on-line mode.
P160 Customer Interface Unit (CIU)
The P160 CIU is plugged into an existing mains outlet in the household. Under normal conditions when the supply control switch of the meter is closed and there is power in the house, the Customer Interface Unit operates directly from mains voltage.
However, in the event that the meter’s supply control switch opens (e.g. could be due to prepayment credit expiring), the Customer Interface Unit, which is fitted with a battery, will enter a sleep mode to save battery energy. By pressing and holding the “Enter/Power key” on the keypad, the customer is able to power up the P160 Customer Interface Unit using the battery and enable a new prepayment credit token to be entered. If there is no power in the household and the customer interface unit is woken up using the battery, the display will flash on and off, showing the user the last known status of the meter, for example prepayment credit expired.
The customer or field technician can additionally view meter parameters by accessing specific register information via the P160 Customer Interface Unit keypad or by scrolling through the available pre-configured registers, by pressing the scroll up and down buttons on the P160 keypad.

Surge protection
The meter has been designed to have a surge voltage withstand that significantly exceeds the requirements of both SABS 1524 and IEC 62052-11.
Remote Customer Interface Unit
The meter has two parts, the prepayment meter and the customer interface unit. The meter is connected to the customer interface unit by two-core communications wire up to a distance of 130 meters. It operates independently of the customer interface unit and is usually installed in a secure, locked enclosure outside the consumer’s home. The customer interface unit is compact with a user-friendly keypad and display. An optional local keypad and display can be fitted to the meter at the time of manufacture. The meter also features a dedicated diagnostic indicator which shows the status of communication to the customer interface unit.
The meter contains all critical metering, token decryption and load control functionality. It operates independently and is immune to any form of tampering on the Customer Interface Unit.

E550 Series 2
Description:
In a quickly growing market, energy suppliers are facing a major challenge: They must guarantee high network quality to protect income losses caused by manipulation at the metering point, and although this is expensive, it is key to their success. To meet this specific demand, Landis+Gyr has developed the E550 series.
Up to twelve measurement quantities (of any energy and quadrant) can be used simultaneously to calculate energy and demand values. They deliver the basis for the calculation of energy registration and network quality values. The memory registers consumption, demand, maximum values and previous values as well as two load profiles and events for a maximum of 512 days. Up to 48 tariffs can be switched externally or by an internal clock.
Communications – ready for the future Full protection against physical meter manipulation and unauthorized access
We have a comprehensive range of possible communications interfaces on offer (CS, RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, optical). The selected transfer protocol (IEC, DLMS) is automatically recognized; the high transfer rate of up to 38,400 bps keeps communication costs low. Outages can be reported over the mobile telephone network using the SMS function.
Additionally, with the new support of the E55C modem portfolio, we offer a versatile tool for automatic meter reading applications, using 2G or 3G mobile networks. The optional communication modem is placed under the terminal cover and is directly powered by the meter.
Security of supply quality
The E550 series continuously monitors network and power quality. Event information such as voltage drops or exceeding a predefined value can be read out over various interfaces. Events which have been declared as important can trigger an output contact directly.
Protection from loss of revenue
Both hardware and software contain advanced functions for fraud detection. The E550 meter is resistant to external magnetic fields, and manipulation attempts. Additionally, access to the read-out process can be protected by limiting the number of incorrect passwords.
