Note:
Certain operations such as firmware upgrade or relay switching can only be performed a fixed number of times
within a 24 hours’ duration. For example, firmware upgrade can only be performed twice as day and relay switch
operation is restricted to 20 times a day. If the number of operations exceeds the defined limit, the meter logs it
as an event and takes preventive action as per pre-set rules.

Communication channels
Premier 211 with the Skyline-i 033/543 communication module has the following communication channels:
●
ANSI optical port - this port, fitted on the meter is designated as Port-1 and is used to communicate with
the meter locally. The port supports a maximum data rate of up to 38400 baud. It can be used to read
consumption data and other information locally. This port can be enabled or disabled using a service
UTRN.
●
4G/3G WAN module- for communication to HES.
Notes:
•
To manually perform a transaction with the meter through the optical port, the ID issued by the external
device should always be zero or else an error message will be displayed and the transaction will not be
performed.
•
In case of remote transaction, the ID should always be incremental to the previously issued ID.
