the consumer’s accumulated debt,

any meter balance less than the disablement threshold,
•
any emergency credit used,
•
and the remainder added to the meter balance.
On Saturday and Sunday, after the £5 cap is reached, no percentage of the
payment is taken. The full £10 goes towards paying off:
•
the consumer’s accumulated debt,
•
any meter balance less than the disablement threshold,
•
any emergency credit used,
•
and the remainder added to the meter balance.
Changing Payment Modes
SGM1400-B Series meters with firmware 5.0.0 and later will be supplied with a
default of Credit mode. Also, consumption charges (tariff prices) or standing
charges will not be set up - they will contain zero charge values. The headend
system must set up these charges as part of the initial installation and
commissioning process.
