Tantalus Utility Network™
The TC-11/1210 and TC-11/1210-RD are two-way 900 MHz LAN smart meter communication modules that are
integrated into the GE I-210 ® and I-210+ ® family of electrical watthour meters. The GE I-210 metrology unit
sends digital pulses to the communication module that represents the energy delivered or received to/from the
service. The GE I-210+ metrology unit has 2-way communication to the Tantalus smart communication using the
ANSI C12.18 protocol to convey energy consumption and it also allows the communication module to activate the
service disconnect switch where applicable. The Tantalus LAN communication module delivers meter readings on
request or on a programmed schedule for Time-of-Use and interval data applications. The LAN communication
module also reports power outages and monitors power quality including voltage (plus sag/swell alarms) and
momentary outages (blinks).
Warning
Energized meters, meter sockets and distribution lines present the risk of
