(two rate meters) and pulsing output or serial data
output
• RJ11 socket configured as pulsing output or serial
data output
The enhanced range of the successful A100 series
single phase meter from Elster provides a cost-
effective solution for one or two rate domestic
metering applications. The new meter features an
improved customer specific, multi-lingual display
with increased character size for ease of viewing.
The A100 offers the advantages of leading edge
electronic metering technology, enabling Class 1 or
Class 2 accuracy, anti-tamper security features and
security data as standard.
The liquid crystal display provides large (7.5mm),
high contrast characters that can be viewed from a
wide angle. Chevrons identify the values being
displayed. The register values can be set at
manufacture for the number of digits and the
position of the decimal point.
Communications is provided via an IrDA port
allowing the meter registers and security data to be
read electronically using a hand-held device,
greatly reducing the possibility of manual meter
reading errors. The security data includes reverse
run count, reverse run energy total, reverse run
indication on LCD, hours spent in rate 1, hours
spent in rate 2, power fail count, time since last
powered and cumulative hours spent in anti-creep.
An optional pulsed output allows active energy to
be collected remotely and used as the basis for an
energy management system. The pulse width and
value are configured at manufacture from a range
of values.
As a manufacturing option the same absolute data
as the IrDA port or the pulsed output can be
transmitted via an RJ11 socket or the meter's
auxiliary terminals.
Meters can be supplied to meet accuracy Class 1 or
Class 2 requirements. They are approved to EN
61036:1996 and have an ingress protection of IP53
to EN60529:1991.
