(Installation Instructions). Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
3 INTRODUCTION
The A1700 meter provides the complete solution for complex time of use metering for
commercial and industrial consumers. The following versions of the meter are described:
• Direct Connected meter
• CT or CT-VT operated meter
• Multi-utility compatible meter providing data collection from external meters
• Multi-utility compatible meter with Instrumentation profiling and event logging
• Class 0.2s, CT-VT multi-utility compatible meter with transformer loss compensation
The A1700 is of modular design, allowing one module for input or output and one module for
communications to be fitted underneath the terminal cover. The modules are described in
M120 001 5 (Input/output) and M120 001 4 (Communications).
Elster Metering Systems Power Master Unit Software (M120 001 6) provides a WindowsTM
based platform for ease of programming the A1700 and reading meter data.
Accuracy Class Class 0.2s, Class 0.5s Class 1 and Class 2 (kWh measurement)
The A1700 incorporates security passwords and complies with Code of Practice 5 (Issue 6 V
2.00). Passwords can be disabled if required.
The Meter can be programmed or read either locally or remotely.
Local communications is established via an optical communications port, using a PC or
Hand Held Unit incorporating the IEC 62056-21 (formerly IEC 61107) protocol.
A Communications Module (RS232 or RS485) provides for remote communications either
directly from a PC or via a modem e.g. PSTN, GSM, PAKNET etc.
The A1700 meter is housed in a polycarbonate polyphase meter case, which allows safe
access to the auxiliary terminals.

6. A sealable terminal cover plate that clips over the main Module
Input/output release catches
terminal screws. This prevents accidental contact with the module
power circuits when fitting or removing modules Communications
Internal module
7. A terminal cover retained by two sealable screws through to relays
the base fits directly to the main cover and prevents access to
any wiring. Removal of the cover allows the optional modules to be fitted and gives access
to the terminals of the internal relays. A meter connection diagram and provision for
module and relay connections are provided inside the terminal cover. There are three
versions of the terminal cover, an extended cover (Figure 2), short cover (Figure 2B) and a
short cover with fittings for DIN standard accessories (Figure 2C)
The meter can be provided with a standard display or a display with large characters (See
Figure 4C).
An IEC 62056-21 (formerly 61107) optical communications port is situated on the right hand
side of a flip cover.
Optical communications probes contain a circular magnet, which retain the probe against the
metal ring.
5.1.1 kWh
kWh total import energy
kWh total export energy
The measurement discrimination is such that, as the
power factor of any load, from 0.05Ib to Imax, is varied
over 360°, the import and export registers will never
advance together.
5.1.2 kvarh
All four quadrants are registered separately.
Q1 kvarh Import Lagging Energy
Q2 kvarh Import Leading Energy
Q3 kvarh Export Lagging Energy
Q4 kvarh Export Leading Energy
Note: The diagram shows a representation of the quadrants. Later versions of the meter
allow the quadrants to be shown on the display (See Figure 4D).
The reactive power is calculated using the formula var = √ VA2 – W2.
There is a manufacturing option that allows reactive power to be calculated by using the
phase shift method (See model code Figure 1).
8 A1700 Meter Users Manual - Chapter 3
__________________________________________________________________________________
5.1.3 kVAh
kVAh is a scalar quantity calculated from the total kWh and the total kvarh over all phases.
The accuracy of kVAh calculation is ± 0.1% over the full power factor range, based on the
measured values.
The calculation uses the formula:
kVAh = √ ([kWh]2 + [kvarh]2)
The quadrants of energy combined to provide kVAh are programmable.
For some particular tariff applications it is required to determine the kVAh by using quadrants
that can be selected by the user. e.g.
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
kvarh * *
Note: Real and reactive energy for each phase is respectively summated prior to kVAh
calculation.
For the above version of meter, pulses from up to five of the registers can be accepted.
Examples of their use are:
CD Register 2 Total kWh kWh import + I/P 1 + I/P 2 + I/P 3 + I/P 4 = Total kWh
import from A1700 plus four external meters.
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
kWh * * Export kVAh
kvarh * *
The contents of the Customer Defined Registers can be included in the display sequence.
5.2.2.2 Seasons
There are twelve seasons, each defined by a start date. The end date is calculated
automatically as the day before the next season start date.
There are 24 dates that can be used to indicate the change of season. This enables the
meter to use a particular season’s information more than once in a single year.
The three highest coincidence demands in a period are stored using the same time and date
stamp as its associated maximum demand register.

varh energy flow indicators when the meter is importing or exporting energy.
A pulse width of 8ms to 80ms in increments of 8ms can be programmed. In tracking mode
the relay is normally open.
WARNING
To ensure correct operation, the relay retransmit threshold must be no less than:
2.5 x (Meter Pulse Value x CT ratio x VT Ratio).
This will ensure that the maximum relay output pulse rate (4Hz) is not exceeded.
20 A1700 Meter Users Manual - Chapter 3
__________________________________________________________________________________
When the clock retards, 50 periods will be stored (assuming a 30 minute integration period).
When storage is full, new data overwrites the oldest stored data.
Load profiles can be transferred to the Power Master Unit and viewed in Readings.
A1700 (-1/2/3/4/5) These versions of meter can record 900 days of load profile data for one
channel or 450 days of load profile data for one channel and 370 days of instrumentation
data for one channel (See Section 20.2).
13 COMMUNICATION
Communications with an A1700 can be established via the IEC 62056-21(formerly 61107)
port or via a communications module.
Note: The programming counter does not increment when a 'Set time' or 'Time and date
adjustment' only is programmed to the meter.
A1700 (-4) A separate programming log of the last 100 events is recorded. A 12 character
string is also recorded to identify who made the programming change.
16 BATTERY BACK-UP
In the event of an a.c. failure, a battery (type Lithium) supports the real time clock.
The battery is soldered onto the printed circuit board. See M120 001 7 (Installation
Instructions) for battery disposal.
The meter can be programmed to initiate one of the following courses of action should the
supply fail and the battery become exhausted. When the supply returns: -
a. Assume the last known time and continue to use the TOU registers
b. Freeze the TOU registers and increment the total cumulative registers only
24 A1700 Meter Users Manual - Chapter 3
__________________________________________________________________________________
17 SELF DIAGNOSTICS
The A1700 performs a number self test at power up.
The display shows the Meter Error and code failure.
Further information of the failure can be gained by checking the Diagnostic Word.
Alarm Indicators
The following alarm indicators are provided:
Meter Transient Reset
Time Synchronisation
Data Change
Battery Fail
Reverse Run
Phase Failure
Voltage imbalance (A1700 -U/1/2/3/4/5)
Instrumentation events (A1700 -1/2/3/4/5)
These alarm indicators are set in the current diagnostic word while an event is occurring and
at the same time recorded in an historical register. The current diagnostic word is cleared at
the end of the event.
18 SECURITY
The A1700 can be configured either to use passwords or to have no password protection.
This is a manufacturing option.
Voltage Imbalance (A1700 -1/2/3/4/5) - The meter records a count of Voltage imbalance
events and the five most recent events along with time and date stamps. A relay can be
activated to raise an alarm if an event is detected (See Section 19.4).
Time and Date Change (A1700 -4) - The time and date can be changed using the
pushbuttons. A record of the five most recent changes are recorded (See Section 7).
Programming Log - A count of programming events, the last programmer Id and a record of
the three (Five A1700 1/2/3/4/5) most recent events are recorded.
A separate log of the 100 most recent events is recorded (A1700 -4, see Section 14).
Password Change (A1700 -1/2/3/4/5) - A record of the five most recent password change
events is recorded.
Billing Reset Event - A record of the three (five A1700 -1/2/3/4/5) most recent billing reset
events is recorded. (See Section 5.2.2.8).
Transient Reset - A transient reset may occur if the meter powers down in an unpredicted
manner (due to a lightning strike etc.). A record of the three (five A1700 -1/2/3/4/5) most
recent transient reset events is recorded.
19 POWER SUPPLY
The power supply is derived equally from all three phase to neutral voltages
(3 phase 4 wire systems) or all three phase to phase voltages (3 phase 3 wire systems).
Three phase four wire systems maintain operation if the neutral is disconnected. The meter
maintains its accuracy in the event that only a single phase is present.
20 INSTRUMENTATION
The A1700 calculates a range of instrumentation values. These values include:
Voltage (Phase A, B or C)
Current (Phase A, B or C)
Active Power (Phase A, B, C or System)
Reactive Power (Phase A, B, C or System)
Apparent Power (Phase A, B, C or System)
Frequency (Phase A, B or C)
Power Factor (Phase A, B, C or System)
Phase Angles of Volts to Current (Phase A, B or C)
28 A1700 Meter Users Manual - Chapter 3
__________________________________________________________________________________
There is a threshold, below which values are secured as zero. The default threshold applied
is 2 volts and 30mA.
Instrumentation values can be viewed on the display. Values below the threshold will be
displayed as zero, or as an appropriate display.
Note: For 3 phase 3 wire meters the calculations are with respect to phase B.
Example:
Voltage at phase A (nominal value 230V)
284V
Upper border = 284V Upper Limit
These are not linked to the integration period used for demand and load profile.
Instrumentation values can be stored as maximum, minimum, average values or last captured.
When storage is full, new data overwrites the oldest data.
Instrumentation profiling is stored with reference to base time or daylight savings time.
Base Time - Daylight savings have no effect on the demand period and 48 periods are
stored (assuming 30 minute integration period).
Daylight savings time - When the clock advances, 46 periods will be stored. When the clock
retards, 50 periods will be stored (assuming 30 minute integration period).
The meter has three modes of operation for storing instrumentation profile values.
22 DATA RETENTION
All programmed data and register data is retained in a non-volatile memory.
Long term data retention is in excess of 10 years.
Register data is written into the non-volatile memory every two hours and every time there is
a supply failure.
In the event of damage or component failure that renders the meter inoperable,
the non-volatile memory is capable of being read by external equipment.
23 MODULES
Input (A1700 -F/G/H/J/L/M/P/Q/S/U/V/X/Z/2/3/4/5)
Output (A1700 -A/B/C/E/F/G/H/J/L/M/N/P/Q/S/T/U/V/X/Z/2/3/4/5)
The A1700 can accommodate an Input or Output module and a Communications module
that fit beneath the meter cover. The modules can be inserted into the meter without
removing power and without affecting meter certification.

27 SAFETY ISSUE
SAFETY ISSUE
Normally unused terminals will not have any voltage present on them. In the unlikely
event that a live internal wire breaks loose and rests on an unused terminal, that terminal
will present a hazard.
For safety, isolate all high voltage supplies to the meter before making any adjustments to
terminal connections. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

Performance Tests
Accuracy
In order to check the A1700 accuracy, the meter must be compared against a substandard
connected in series. Over a period of time, the number of pulses can be counted to determine
how much energy has been measured. This is determined by multiplying the pulse value by the
number of pulses N.
To check the accuracy of the meter, compare the measured value with the value registered by
the substandard.
To carry out the test, the number of pulses N must be sufficient to give the necessary resolution
of measurement.
Count the pulses over a minimum period of 20 seconds.
Use the following formula to calculate N:
N= 200 I test Er
I max
Er = ratio for number of elements energised to total elements.
= 1 for all balanced load tests (3ph 4w and 3ph 3w)
2
= /3 for element tests on two element meters (2ph of 3ph 4w, 2ph 3w and 1ph 3w)
1
= /3 for element tests on three element meters (1ph 2w)

Note: The display list will vary for different versions of the meter.
Display checksum This means that the meter found a checksum error in the new display data.
Chk = xxxx o⊥o
The checksum from the definition block does not match the checksum that the
∩ error
meter calculated itself. Alternatively, since the meter uses the definition-block
last byte address to calculate the checksum, it is possible that this data is
incorrect, because of an interrupted communications session for example.
xxxx would be replaced by the checksum that the meter calculated.
Display error If a major error condition is detected, then the display is taken off line to prevent
Error : cccc o⊥o
garbage from being displayed.
At : aaaa °
The ‘display status control page’ will display the code of the error (cccc) and the
index into the display definition block where the error occurred (aaaa).
If an error occurs within either the 'Consumer section' or the 'Utility section' then
this display will appear for 2 seconds, then the display will revert to autocycle
mode.
These reasons and codes are shown below.
