Meter Operation (Credit Metering Mode)
The
credit-metering
option is only available when using the STS format. It is possible to toggle the
meter between
prepayment
and
credit
modes of operation via proprietary vouchers generated by the
prepayment vending system.
When set to the
credit metering
mode of operation, the meter functions as follows:
The default display is the
total register
, displayed with leading zeros. Note: In
information
mode,
the
total
register may be viewed with a resolution of 10Wh
– 10.30 with the most significant digit
omitted e.g.
000874.36
.
The
credit metering mode
icon is turned on.
All other display digits and icons work as per the prepayment mode of operation.
The load switch will remain in the closed position. NB: The load switch will open if the meter is
tampered
,
decommissioned
or in a
power limit lockout
state.
The
total register
increments as metering takes place.
The prepayment mode
credit register
does not decrement with metering pulses. It retains its value
and, if a prepayment credit voucher is entered, will increment accordingly.
When toggling from
credit-metering
mode to
prepayment-metering
mode, normal
prepayment
operation resumes as per the state of the various meter registers e.g. if there is no credit in the
credit
register
, the load switch will open.
