1. INTRODUCTION
A Prepaid Energy Meter enables power utilities and the maintenance team to collect electricity bills from the consumers prior to its consumption. The prepaid meter is not only limited to Automated Meter Reading [AMR] but is also attributed with prepaid recharging ability and information exchange with the utilities pertaining to customer’s consumption details.
The idea of prepaid metering will be very important for the new research fields of Micro-grid and Smart Grid and is an inevitable step in making any grid smarter than it is now. Prepaid is a plan that deducts usage charges and any fixed charges from account balance each day. Consumer is expected to take responsibility.
This Unique
product termed as Contactless prepaid energy meter developed
by Elmeasure, is
probably the
first of its kind in the Indian meter manufacturing
history. T he design is completely
microcontroller based thus provides effective solution
to th
e electrical
service providers.
T
he action
required
by
the
service provider is just
to install
the meter and further activities involve only
the
consumer,
which
then
is a very simple
procedure to be followed. It is sufficient for the
service provider
to have
only
one man power or n o man p ower to recharge the meter as per the consumer's requirement. This is not only limited to power and energy, Elmeasure devices also can integrate gas and water meter with the different inlets of the house and deduct the balance based on consumption. The meters can be networked with RS485, GSM/GPRS. The unique data communication enables the secured recharging of the meter. Elmeasure has developed ELNet PPS software which enables the customer to recharge the meters 24x7 using the payment gateway without even visiting the service provider.
The microcontroller acquires signals from the metering element(s), processes them and calculates values of measured energy or gas and water. The results are stored in registers for particular tariffs. The microcontroller also generates pulses for the LED and, enables two-way communication via the RS485 and drives the LCD and the control outputs.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1. SAFETY WARNINGS
Before you install and operate your meters, it is important to be familiar with all regulatory agency, manufacturer, and utility industry safety precautions. Observe these safety precautions during all steps of meter installation, operation, and service. Failure to comply with these precautions, or with specific warnings or instructions elsewhere in this guide, violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and the intended use of the meter. Elmeasure assumes no liability for failure to comply with these requirements. The information presented in this guide is intended to be an aid to qualified metering personnel. It does not replace the extensive training necessary to handle metering equipment in a safe manner.
Safety Warning: Any work on or near energized meters or other metering
equipment presents the danger of electrical shock. Only qualified electricians and metering specialists should be authorized to work with the meters, in accordance with local utility safety practices, utility requirements, and other safety precautions as dictated by local code, regulations, or statutes.

INCOMING INSPECTION
Before the meter is installed, visual inspection, for any damage in the process of transportation, has to be carried out.
Safety Warning: Return damaged meters and components to Elmeasure do not
attempt to repair the damage. The meter has no user-serviceable parts. Any attempt to remove or repair internal parts voids the meter warranty.
REPACKING
If the meter has to be returned to the supplier, repack the unit in the packing in which it was supplied.
OPTIMUM FIELD CONDITIONS
For the reliability and better life of the product the unit has to be operated at moderate temperatures and humidity. The meter is designed to work from -5 to 60 degree C and humidity of 95% RH non condensing.
STORAGE
In case if the meter is not installed after receiving, it has to be stored in a dry place in the original packing material.
MOUNTING
Figure shows the location of the meter mounting holes. The Mount the Prepaid Energy Meter in a dry location free from corrosive vapours. To mount the Unit: In the real panel side we have wall mountable clamp, by using that mount the prepaid meter on the wall.
Fig. 1: Drawing for Single phase mounting details
7 UM/SWHM/V3/0115
Fig. 2: Drawing for Three phase Mounting details
Mounting:
The front bezel of the basic model is molded plastic. Bezel dimensions are 160 x 112 mm (Depth 58mm behind bezel) for single phase prepaid meter and 173 × 262 mm (Depth 82mm behind the bezel) for three phase prepaid meter.
EXTRA PRECAUTIONS
Make sure of supply voltage, supply current and configuration. Wrong connection can severely damage the instrument, which is not covered under our warranty. We recommended installing necessary protective device along with the meter like circuit breaker / Fuse/ MCB/ Switch/ Isolator to take care of unexpected faults.
CONNECTION
The meter uses a polycarbonate casing and so is a good insulator. Hence it DOES NOT HAVE ANY EARTH TERMINAL.
Terminal cover is to be used to protect the meter terminals from being tampered with. As soon as the connections are made the terminal block has to be covered and sealed by terminal cover. It can be fixed using two sealable screws.
VENTILATION
No specific ventilation is recommended. Meter is capable of working satisfactory at Ambient between -5 to 60 degree C.
2.2. WIRING THE PREPAID METER
The inputs to be connected to the Prepaid Energy Meter are clearly indicated on the Front Panel.
Connect the Voltage inputs: For LT Models (415 V AC L-Nominal), connect the voltage inputs directly to the terminals. For HT Models, the inputs should be from the secondary of the Potential Transformer. In a 3-wire system, the Neutral terminal is not connected. In a 4-wire system, the neutral may or may not be connected to the terminal marked ‘N’.
8 UM/SWHM/V3/0115
Connect the Current inputs: It is important to maintain the direction of the current flow from S1 to S2. If this reversed in one or more phases, the Power computation will be negative in the corresponding element(s). Though the computation is internally corrected to an equivalent positive value, it is not advisable to leave a reversal of current flow uncorrected.
It is important to adhere to phase relationships. Current ‘IR’ must correspond to the phase that has the Voltage connected to the ‘VR’ terminal. The same holds good for current inputs ‘IY’ and ‘IB’. If the current and voltage inputs are swapped, the Power and Energy computations may be erroneous.

Fig. 3: Connection diagram for CT Operated Three Phase Prepaid Energy Meter
Wire the Dual Input
The Unit is capable of monitoring electricity consumed from two separate sources. One of these could be the supply from the electricity authorities while the other could be from the in-house generator. For the meter to recognize that the supply is from the alternate source, the meter requires a voltage input between 240 V AC that should go live when the supply is from the alternate source as shown in Fig 2.
Wire the Digital Inputs (Max.4)
Integration of Gas and Water with the electrical parameters thereby, extending the flexibility for the user to budget expenses. The four digital inputs, any gas and water meter can be configured. It is important to program the price / Pulse in the corresponding ElNet PPS.

4. PREPAID METER OPERATION
The meter is suitable for Three-phase four wire (PE5120)/ Single Phase 2 wire system (PE5121).
Meter measures electrical energy consumed and decrements the available credit register in accordance with the energy consumption-KWh or kVAh. The available credit register is incremented as and when payment is made. Meter continuously calculates the balance credit against the consumption.
As the balance credit decreases beyond the pre-defined level, a switch (latching relay) is used to disconnect the supply to the load. Meter display starts blinking when the credit balance falls to a programmed value.
Over voltage (OVER.VOL) Tripping: This is the unique feature from the Elmeasure meter to protect the equipment when the over voltage occurs. When the Line voltage is more than programmed value the prepaid meter trips the load, thus protecting the house hold equipments. This replaces the need for over voltage relays in individual houses.
Over.KVA (EB or DG): Elmeasure meters have the unique feature to program the set limit for consumption when it is operating on EB and DG in terms of kVA. When the consumption is above the set value then the LOAD gets disconnected for a span of 1 minute (programmable through configuration) after which the LOAD gets connected for the SET DELAY time to see the load is reduced and if the consumption is still higher it trips the load for the 2nd delay time (programmable) and this process gets repeated with the different programmable delay time until the consumption is reduced.
DG SELECTION: Elmeasure prepaid meter has great optional feature i.e. individual phases on for DG (R, Y, B or RYB or No DG). This feature can avoid ACCL to individual houses.

4.5. PREPAID FUNCTIONS
Advanced collection of revenue before electrical power consumption.
Charging the meter with credit revenue through multiple options (Smart card or Wired or
GSM/GPRS).
The loaded revenue decrements based on the rate of electricity at that time (Currency/unit), which may change from time to time.
Provides visible and audible alarm to the user when the credit balance falls to a particular value at the meter as well as at the remote display unit (Optional).
Secured transactions, bill and report generation.
The implementation of prepayment accounting functions can be separated into credit and
charge functions. The credit functions include:
1. Token credit function
2. Emergency credit function
Two types of charge functions are implemented:
1. Consumption-based tariff charges
2. Time-based auxiliary charges
23 UM/SWHM/V3/0115
Token credit function:
Token Credit function deals with managing credit registers according to credit token transfer. When credit transfer is accepted, the values of “Available Credit Register” and “Total Purchase Register” are increased for the amount credit transferred.
Emergency credit function:
Emergency credit function is used in situations when “Available Credit Register Value” approaches or goes under zero. For this purpose, three parameter objects are implemented:
1. Emergency Credit Initial Limit
2. Emergency Credit Limit
3. Emergency Credit Threshold
“Emergency Credit Initial Limit” is used once after meter installation for the purpose of enabling the customer to make the first buy (or transferring the first credit from the management centre). It defines the credit value which is available when emergency credit is first selected by the customer.
“Emergency Credit Limit” defines the credit value which is available after the value of “Available Credit Register” reaches zero and the customer selects the emergency credit.
“Emergency Credit Threshold” defines the positive value of “Available Credit Register” at which the meter begins to notify the customer that the credit will expire. When the value of “Available Credit Register” falls below the value of “Emergency Credit Threshold”, the meter starts notification.
