Installation and Binding of External Devices
The installation process is in two parts; joining the metering components
together by a binding process and notification of the metering system to the
head End System. An automated notification process exists within the
meter however this may not be supported by the HES. Where the
automated process is not supported a manual method would be employed.
This section describes the automated process only.
5.1 Binding Process
The binding process is used to join devices to the electricity meter. Once
bound, the devices will ignore transmissions from any other meters within
the vicinity. The units will remain in this state until rebound.
During the process the devices exchange communication addresses and
security keys, logging serial number into the electricity meter. These serial
numbers are in turn displayed on the In-home display to provide
confirmation to the installer.
A remote process is available to prevent meters communicating when not
required (i.e. loss of gas supply contract).
5.1.1 Binding and installation mode code entry
Both binding and automatic installation processes use a 6 digit PIN to
instigate a particular process with the meter. The meter holds a record of 3
