2 WARNINGS

WARNINGS

Internal Electronic Circuits

Parts of the internal electronic circuits of these meters are, due to technical necessity, connected to PHASE VOLTAGES.

Dangerous voltages are present

A Terminal Cover Plate must always be fitted to the A1120/40 meter to protect the main meter

terminals. If the Terminal Cover Plate is not fitted to the A1120/40 meter, all supplies to the meter must be isolated before a module, module peripheral equipment or external battery module is installed

or removed.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

Caution

Installation of a faulty module or module peripheral equipment may affect the main meter functionality.

Removal of the main cover invalidates the certification of certified meters.

Liquid Crystal Display

Liquid crystals are toxic. If a display is damaged, avoid contact with the liquid. If the liquid makes contact with the skin it must be washed off immediately with water.

Seek medical advice.

Batteries

The meter contains an internal Lithium manganese dioxide primary cell. This battery is completely safe under normal conditions. However, it must never be recharged, disassembled, heated above 100° C, incinerated, or have the contents exposed to water.

Fire, explosion or severe burns may result if these instructions are disregarded.

In the interests of safety, environmental protection and possible legislation, Lithium batteries require careful disposal. Before arranging for the disposal of these cells, users should satisfy themselves that the proposed means of disposal is both safe and compliant with local legislation requirements.

Elster Metering Systems would like to draw the user's attention to the International Standard for Lithium Batteries - IEC 60084-4 - which gives further information about the handling, storage, transport and disposal of lithium cells.

Elster Metering Systems should be contacted by the user should difficulties arise in arranging proper disposal. They will if practical help the user identify safe disposal means.

An optional External Battery Module supports the display and optical communications during power outages. A non-rechargeable “alkaline” (alkaline zinc manganese dioxide) PP3 (IEC 6LR61) battery is used.

This battery is completely safe under normal conditions. It must not be recharged, disassembled, short-circuited, overheated or incinerated. It contains corrosive materials.

Used batteries should be disposed of in compliance with local legislation requirements.

5 INTRODUCTION

The A1120/40 has been designed to meet the changing needs of the Electricity Supply Industry.

The meter offers a ‘modular’ solution for remote communications, allowing the meter to be integrated into an AMR system at any time. Flexibility in communications provides the Utility with the means to employ the most cost effective communications method. The RJ11 connector provides power for a modem removing any requirement for external connections. The modem fits neatly under the terminal cover providing a high degree of protection against fraud or tampering.

Communications are provided via the optical (IEC 62056-21) port and are supported by data stream mode, allowing fast reading of meter data. The A1140 permits up to 90 days of load profile data to be collected in less than 30 seconds. The RJ11 socket provides optional RS232 communications allowing remote access to the same data as the optical port. This port can be multi-dropped, allowing access to up to 10 meters in a single installation. A further option allows a pulsed output to be transmitted via the meter’s auxiliary terminals.

The meter is available in a number of variants that measure combinations of active energy, four quadrant reactive energy and kVAh. Two customer defined registers can be used to summate energy from any like unit registers. Instrumentation quantities to aid installation can be included in the display sequence.

Firmware Version C allows 12 External Registers to display data from an external source such as a gas or water meter. The registers are written to by an intelligent source via the RS232 port.

The meter offers extensive security data which includes a programming log with user ID. Further security can be provided as an option with terminal cover and main cover removal detection. As an alternative option, the latter detection switch can instead be used to allow the CT ratio to be changed.

The Liquid Crystal Display (9.8mm) has large characters that can be viewed from a wide angle. The display sequence is programmable and can be auto-cycle, step or utility. Displayed information can have English language identifiers or OBIS (Object Identification System) codes. The OBIS codes can be changed via the Power Master Unit.

Power Master Unit software provides a user-friendly Windows programming the meter and reading meter data.

The meters are approved to:

EN 62053-21/22 for kWh accuracy - Class 0.5s, 1 or 2 EC Directive 2004/22/EC (MID) - Class A, B or C EN 62053-23 for kvarh accuracy - Class 2 or Class 3

The meter has an ingress protection rating of IP53 to IEC 60529:1989.

Operating & Maintenance Instructions 13

10.1 Registration of Quantities

10.1.1 kWh

kWh total import (active energy)

kWh total export (active energy)

Total import and total export quantities are registered separately. 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. The resolution of registration is 1mWh.

10.1.2 kvarh

Q1 kvarh Inductive Import

Q2 kvarh Capacitive Import

I T

-P

Q1Q2

-Q

Q3 kvarh Inductive Export

Q4 kvarh Capacitive Export

All four quadrants are registered separately. The resolution of registration is 1mvarh.

kvarh is derived using the phase shift method.

Note: The diagram shows a representation of the quadrants. The active quadrant can be shown on the display.

10.1.3 kVAh

kVAh is derived from the measured kWh and kvarh values

The calculation uses the formula: kVAh = √ ([kWh]

There are two kVAh registers. These can each be configured to accept pulses from any combination of quadrants e.g.

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4

kWh * * kVAh - to match 2 electromechanical meters

kvarh * *

+ [kvarh]2 )

Note: Real and reactive energy for each phase is respectively summated prior to kVAh calculation.

kWh export

Q1 kvarh

Q2 kvarh

Q3 kvarh

Q4 kvarh

kVAh 1

kVAh 2

Examples of their use are:

CD Register 1 Total kWh kWh import + kWh export = Total kWh

CD Register 2 Total Import kvarh Q1 + Q2 = Total Import kvarh

The contents of the Customer Defined Registers can be viewed on the display.

11 TARIFF STRUCTURE

The tariff structure repeats year on year and comprises the following features:

8 Time-of-use (TOU) registers 4 Maximum demand registers 48 Switching times 12 Seasons 24 Change of season dates 32 Exclusion dates 13 End of billing dates

Daylight savings

Independent day control Deferred tariff Tariff scheme CRC

At least one Season must be programmed into the meter for TOU registers to be available.

Page 23

Operating & Maintenance Instructions 15

11.1 Time-of-use Registers

A total of 8 Time-of-use (TOU) registers are provided. Each TOU register has a single source that can be selected from one of the following:

Import kWh Export kWh Q1 kvarh Q2 kvarh Q3 kvarh Q4 kvarh kVAh 1 kVAh 2 Customer Defined Register 1 Customer Defined Register 2

Each TOU Register is independently time controlled so that registration can take place over a restricted time period.

The contents of each TOU Register can be viewed on the display along with the active rate(s).

11.2 Demand Registers

The A1120/40 provides the rising demand value associated with each of the 10 registered quantities specified in Section 11.1. The demand integration period can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 15, 20, 30 or 60 minutes.

In A1140 meters the integration period used for the demand registers is the same as the load profile integration period.

During any period, the rising demand value is calculated by measuring the energy consumed to a point in a period, then scaling the measured value by a factor equal to the ratio of the demand period to a total hour interval.

Rising Demand = Energy recorded in current period x 60 minutes in demand period

The contents of each Rising Demand Register can be viewed on the display.

11.2.1 TOU Maximum Demand Registers

The meter has 4 maximum demand registers, each with an independent source selectable from one of the 10 rising demands.

The meter records the three highest maximum demand values (along with time and date stamp) that can be sampled on a continuous basis (24-hour period) or over a restricted time period. At the end of each billing period, the greatest of the three demands is added to a corresponding cumulative maximum demand register. The maximum demand registers are then set to zero.

Page 24

16 A1120/40 - Electronic Polyphase Meter

11.3 Switching Times

Up to 48 switching times can be set, each allocated to a specified season. Each switching event can be enabled for any combination of days of the week. These are the transition times when one or more TOU registers become active or inactive.

Each switching time is defined in hours and minutes. A 24-hour clock is used.

06:00 18:00

Switching times

24 hours

The above diagram shows the tariff for TOU1 and TOU2. TOU1 is active from 06:00 to 18:00. TOU2 is active from 18:00 to 06:00. It is possible for none or multiple TOU registers to be programmed to be active at any particular time period.

11.4 Seasons and Change of Season Dates

Up to 12 Seasons may be specified and at least one Season must be programmed for the TOU registers to be available. Each Season is activated by one or more Change of Season Dates.

Up to 24 Change of Season Dates are available, each date specifying the start of a new Season. These may refer to a different Season, or the same Season may be used more than once in a year.

The old Season ends at the instant the new Season starts. A new Season starts at 00.00 of the specified day. Start dates are specified as absolute (dd.mm) dates.

The diagram shows three Seasons. Season 1 is in operation from October to February, Season 2 from March to May and Season 3 from June to September.

11.5 Exclusion Dates

There may be special days in the year when the tariff does not follow the normal pattern, e.g. public holidays. These can be taken care of by invoking Exclusion Dates.

Up to 32 Exclusion Dates can be programmed.

Page 25

Operating & Maintenance Instructions 17

These dates will fall into one of three categories:

1 Dates which are fixed for every year e.g. December 25

2 Dates which fall on the same day of the month every year e.g. the first Monday in May

3 Dates which vary from year to year e.g. Easter Monday - defined using dd.mm.yy

For each Exclusion Date the meter may be programmed to:

- Use the switching times for a different weekday of the current season

- Use the switching times for the same weekday but a different season

- Use the switching times for a different weekday of a different season

When a snapshot of meter data is required to allow a bill to be prepared reflecting consumption to a specified date, the End of Billing feature should be used.

See Section 13.3 for a description of the data captured.

A programmed Automatic End of Billing occurs at midnight.

More than one End of Billing request may occur at the same time (for example, a deferred tariff introduced at the start of a new season), but only a single End of Billing event will take place. The cause of each of the End of Billing events is recorded but the End of Billing Counter is only incremented by one.

If an automatic End of Billing event should have occurred during a power down, then a billing event will take place immediately following the next power up. If several requests were missed then a single billing event is created, the cause reflecting all billing events that were missed.

If an End of Billing reset is required when the current tariff is manually overwritten by a new current tariff, it should be manually requested as part of the communications session.

Page 26

18 A1120/40 - Electronic Polyphase Meter

Auto Reset initiates a Billing Reset every midnight. When Auto Reset is enabled there is an

option to inhibit the reset of the Maximum Demand Registers.

A message that a Billing Reset has been initiated is displayed with a code showing the cause of the reset (See Figure 8, Display Table).

At each Billing Reset the oldest of the fifteen historical data records is overwritten. Time and date stamps, together with causes are stored for the last three End of Billing events.

End of Billing Lock-out

A further End of Billing can be inhibited via the Power Master Unit for either:

- Up to 255 minutes

- Until the next midnight boundary

Note: This only inhibits instantaneous end of billing requests, either via the pushbutton or communications setting, not programmed End of billing events.

11.7 Daylight Savings

The meter provides 2 Daylight Savings dates whereby the clock can be advanced by one or two hours at the start of the summer and can be retarded by one or two hours at the end of the summer.

The day on which a Daylight Saving occurs is programmable, with the choice of the first, second, third, fourth or last specified weekday in a specified month.

The algorithm used will identify the correct calendar dates for the next 50 years.

All of the following will reflect Daylight Savings:

Automatic End of Billing

Switching times within the tariff definition

Time and date stamps (For firmware Version C meters, daylight savings time and date stamps can be referenced to base time or daylight savings time)7.

Optionally load profile (A1140 only)

11.8 Independent Day Control

The meter has the facility to have a different switching program consisting of several switching times running on different days of the week. An example of a switching program is below.

Page 27

Operating & Maintenance Instructions 19

11.9 Deferred Tariff and Deferred Tariff Changeover Date

A second tariff can be programmed in the meter that will take effect from a programmed date.

An option to perform an End of Billing on the Deferred Tariff Changeover Date is available as part of the deferred tariff structure.

11.10 Tariff/Display Scheme Verification

The meter generates a checksum (CRC-16) of the tariff/display scheme currently residing in the meter. The checksum can be included as part of the display sequence, and also compared with a tariff checksum generated by the Power Master Unit. This allows quick verification, either locally or remotely, that the correct tariff/display scheme resides within the meter.

12 EXTERNAL REGISTERS (FIRMWARE VERSION C ONLY)

Firmware Version C of the A1120/40 has 12 External Registers that can be used to display data from an external source such as a gas or water meter. The registers are accessed via an intelligent source (such as a modem) and can be viewed on the A1120/40 meter display.

The registers are configured as three sets, External set 1, External set 2 and External set 3.

Each register set has four associated registers and has its own formatting options that can be configured using the Power Master Unit (Number of digits, Number of decimal places and display scale).

The Display shows Register 2 of External Set 1

Each register has 16 digits. The user is able to select English text or create an OBIS code for each of the twelve external registers.

13 SECURITY FEATURES

Password Protection

The A1120/40 meter uses a Password as part of the security algorithm. The passwords must be entered in upper case. Password protection can be disabled at manufacture if required. Four levels of access are available.

Entering the correct password for levels 0, 1, 2 and 3 allows the functions in Figure 9 to be performed, higher levels giving access to the lower levels. Passwords may also be set to defaults using the Power Master Unit.

It is important to note that the integrity of the A1120/40 meter passwords should always be protected. This can be achieved by ensuring the ability to change passwords is controlled and only made available to Administrative Personnel. The level 3 password should be changed at regular intervals. It may be appropriate for no more than 100 meters to be protected by the same level 3 password.

Calibration values, zeroing of registers etc. are protected by a security link that is removed at the factory before the meter is sealed.

13.1 Data Retention

All cumulative register and time of use data is saved to non-volatile memory every time the power to the meter fails and also every 2 hours. The data is recovered when power is restored to the meter.

All data is retained for the nominal life of the meter.

13.2 Recordable Security Features

The following security features are available and can be included in the display sequence:

13.2.1 Phase Present/Phase Fail Indication

The meter detects and stores the number of phase fail events to a maximum of 65535. The register will then roll over to 0. A time and date stamp of the three most recent events is recorded. The phase fail threshold can be set between 0 and 250 V.

Phase indication on the display (L1, L2, L3) has the following options:

Indicator ‘on’ when phase present

Indicator ‘on’ when phase failed

Where a meter is to be used on a supply with less than 4 wires, it is possible to disable the monitoring and display of phases L2 and L3.

13.2.2 Reverse Energy Flow

Reverse run event count

The meter detects and stores the number of reverse running events to a maximum of 65535. The register will then roll over to 0.

A time and date stamp of the three most recent events is recorded.

Page 29

Operating & Maintenance Instructions 21

The count and time and date stamps can be included in the display sequence. An event is detected if the meter runs in reverse for a period greater than 5 seconds.

Reverse energy reading

Irrespective of whether the meter is set to import only power flow insensitive mode, reverse kWh power flow will be independently recorded.

Theft Resistant Measurement

Theft Resistant Measurement mode measures the sum of the modulus of each phase

(│kWh [L

]│ + │kWh [L2]│ + │kWh [L3]│)

The Reverse Energy Event Alarm, Reverse Energy Count and Reverse kWh Register respond only to reverse power flow and continue to function as in normal operation.

Reverse energy Alarm (Import only meter)

The reverse run indication, which responds to the total system power flow, can be inhibited if required.

Per Phase Reverse Run Indication

Any phase in reverse run can be indicated on the Liquid Crystal Display by flashing the L

phase indicators.

13.2.3 Power Fail

A count of the cumulative number of power downs to a maximum of 65,535 is recorded. The register will then roll over to 0.

13.2.4 End of Billing Event

A count of the number of end of billing events to a maximum of 65,535 is recorded. The register will then roll over to 0. Time and date stamps together with the source of the billing reset for the three most recent events is recorded. The count and time and date stamps can be included in the display sequence. The message ‘Reset’ is displayed each time an End of Billing event takes place.

13.2.5 Programming Event Log

, L2 or

A count of the number of programming events to a maximum of 65,535 is recorded. A time and date stamp of the three most recent events together with the source (optical or RS232 data port) is recorded. The identity of the programming user is also stored. The count and time and date stamps can be included in the display sequence.

Note: Programming events are communications sessions where the meter configuration or data has been changed. Reading data only does not count as a programming event.

Page 30

22 A1120/40 - Electronic Polyphase Meter

13.2.6 CT Ratio Programming

The CT ratio can be displayed as a ratio or as a scalar quantity. A count of the number of CT Ratio reprogramming events to a maximum of 65,535 is recorded together with source (Optical or RS232 port) and time and date stamps for the three most recent events. The identity of the programming user is also stored. The count and time and date stamp can be included in the display sequence.

Note: CT Ratio Reprogramming Events are communications sessions where the primary or secondary value of the CT has been changed.

An End of Billing Reset can be requested with a CT ratio change.

A CT Programming switch can be fitted as a manufacturing option. The switch must be activated in order to change the CT ratio. The switch is under the terminal cover and may be protected by a paper seal.

13.2.7 Watchdog (Transient Reset)

A count of the number of watchdog resets to a maximum of 65,535 is recorded together with time and date stamps for the three most recent events. The count and time and date stamps can be included in the display sequence.

13.2.8 In Service Hours

The elapsed time counter records the cumulative time (to a resolution of 1 hour) the meter has been powered up. The count can be included in the display sequence.

The amount of storage is in excess of 25 years.

13.2.9 Meter Errors

An alarm can be displayed if an error occurs. The alarm and error message (See Figure 8, Display table) can be disabled via the Power Master Unit.

Access to the data is via the optical port, the RS232 data port or on the LCD. A time and date stamp of the three most recent non-fatal error events is recorded where possible.

In the unlikely event that any of the above meter errors occur, a catastrophic failure has been detected and the meter should be returned to Elster Metering for failure investigation.

13.2.10 Cover Removal Detection

Main Cover

As a manufacturing option the main cover can be fitted with a tamper switch to detect removal. The number of times the cover has been removed to a maximum of 65,535 is recorded together with the time and date stamps of the last three occurrences. The count and time and date stamps can be included in the display sequence.

Note: The main cover removal option is not available when the meter is configured for CT Ratio Programming Switch.

Page 31

Operating & Maintenance Instructions 23

Terminal Cover

As a manufacturing option the meter can be fitted with a tamper switch to detect removal of the terminal cover. The number of times the cover has been removed to a maximum of 65,535 is recorded together with the time and date stamps of the last 3 occurrences.

The count and time and date stamps can be included in the display sequence.

13.2.11 Remaining Internal Battery Life

The A1120/40 provides a count of the number of hours of life left in the internal battery. The count can be included in the display sequence.

15 USING THE PUSHBUTTONS

Two pushbuttons can be provided as an option. Their use is as follows:

Default Display Mode

A short press of the display (right pushbutton) enters consumer display mode at the first display in the autocycle display sequence. Single presses of the display pushbutton allow the user to step through the consumer display sequence. The display will default to auto cycle mode at a programmed time after the last press of the consumer display pushbutton.

Utility Display Mode

A short press of the Reset (left pushbutton) enters the utility display mode at the first display in the utility sequence. Single presses of the display (right pushbutton) allow the user to step through the utility display sequence. The display will default to auto cycle mode at a programmed time after the last press of the display pushbutton, or if the Reset pushbutton is presses again.

Billing Reset

A Billing Reset can be initiated by holding both of the pushbuttons pressed for approximately 3 seconds. The billing reset pushbutton can be disabled by using the Power Master Unit.

As a further option, a message that a billing ‘reset’ has been initiated can be displayed.

External Battery Support (Optional)

Pressing either pushbutton allows the displays to be read and optical communications to be established during power outages (See Appendix D).

16 COMMUNICATIONS

Communications with an A1120/40 can be established via the IEC 62056-21(formerly 1107) port or via the optional RS232 Port. A symbol can be displayed in the top left corner of the display which gives an indication of the type of communications currently taking place.

16.1 Optical Communications Port

A bi-directional infra red communications port is provided to allow reading of all stored data (measurement, diagnostic and current personality) and programming of "personality" data. Data Stream Mode (See Section 16.3) allows a fast method of retrieving all data from the meter.

The port is accessible through the front of the main cover and interfaces to a hand held unit or computer. In normal operation the port only operates when the meter is powered from the a.c. supply.

An optional battery (See Section 20) supports the port during power outages. This facility is limited to reading data only.

The port can operate at baud rates of up to 9600.

Page 37

Operating & Maintenance Instructions 29

16.2 Optional RS232 Port

An RJ11 connector provides RS232 communications. The port allows access to the same data as the optical port, using the same protocol. The port operates at speeds of up to 9600 baud. Data Stream Mode (See Section 16.3) allows a fast method of retrieving all data.

The RS232 port supports multi drop mode, allowing up to 10 meters (RS232) or 32 meters (RS485) to be accessed from a PC (See Appendix B).

16.2.1 Modem Power Supply

The RS232 port allows different modules to be added that can support different means of communications (PSTN, Ethernet, GSM etc).

An isolated internal d.c. supply to power the modem is provided via the RJ11 socket Nominal Voltage: ≥+6V with mean load ≤500mA

The power is sufficient to support a GSM modem

16.2.2 Resetting the Power Supply

If a modem is installed which draws too much power from the meter, a transient reset occurs and the modem power supply is disabled to prevent continuous resetting of the meter. On early versions of A1120/40 meter only, the RS232 port may also be disabled. The power supply (and RS232 port on early versions of the meter) can be re-enabled using the PMU via the IEC 1107 port or by using the following sequence:

Step to the ‘GSM signal strength’ display in the Utility Display section of the meter

Press the display and utility pushbuttons together for several seconds until ‘PSU On’ is displayed

If the meter generates another reset, an alternative modem should be fitted and the power supply re-enabled as above.

16.3 Data Stream Mode

Data stream mode allows fast reading of all metering data (90 days of 30 minute, one channel data in 30 seconds). To achieve this, the meter and modem device must be configured to 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (Selectable via the Power Master Unit).

Page 38

30 A1120/40 - Electronic Polyphase Meter

17 PROGRAMMING THE METER

The meter can be programmed via the optical port or via the RS232 port. The optical port can be connected either directly to a PC (IBM compatible) or to a Hand Held Unit. In both cases an IEC 62056-21 (formerly 1107) Probe is required.

Information for the meter is first prepared on forms within the Power Master Unit Software (Refer to Master Unit Software M181 001 3).

The meter does not check to ensure that reprogramming has been completed, therefore at the end of a reprogramming session all data should be read back to confirm the meter is programmed correctly.

If communications fail during programming a failure message is displayed.

Each time the meter is reprogrammed, the programming counter is incremented and the time and date of the event is recorded. The user who created the scheme in the PMU is recorded.

Note: The programming counter does not increment when a 'Set time' or 'Time and date adjustment' only is programmed to the meter.

18 REAL TIME CLOCK AND CALENDAR

The clock uses the notation 00:00 to 23:59. The calendar automatically caters for leap years.

Note: - For time stamps 00:00 indicates the start of the day and 24:00 the end of the day.

The time base for the clock is a programmable option. It can be derived from either the a.c. supply frequency or from a crystal controlled oscillator.

When the clock is synchronised to the mains frequency, it maintains synchronisation for variations of up to +/- 5% of nominal mains frequency. Outside these limits the meter switches to the crystal oscillator and then switches back to mains when the frequency is back within limits.

Crystal calibration achieves an internal accuracy of better than 0.5 of a second per day at reference temperature. In the event of a supply failure a backup battery supports the crystal oscillator, which maintains timekeeping.

There are two methods of adjusting the meter clock:

1. The time and date of the clock may be set via the IEC 62056-21 optical port or RS232

communications port (if fitted) provided the correct (level 2 or higher) password is used.

2. If a request for a small adjustment (-7.5 minutes to +7.5 minutes) to the current setting is

made (with appropriate password), this adjustment will be applied by shortening or lengthening subsequent demand periods by 5 seconds until the whole of the adjustment has been achieved.

Page 39

Operating & Maintenance Instructions 31

19 BATTERY BACK-UP

The A1120/40 has an internal battery that supports the clock and calendar.

An optional external battery that supports the reading of meter data and display facilities during power outages can be provided.

19.1 Internal Battery

In the event of an a.c. failure, an internal battery (a Lithium ‘coin’ cell) supports the real time clock.

The battery is soldered onto the printed circuit board.

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. Freeze the TOU registers and increment the total cumulative registers only b. Assume the last known time and continue to use the TOU registers

See Section 29 for battery disposal.

19.1.1 Internal Battery Monitoring

The battery provides support for the life of the meter. The following functions are provided on the Battery Monitor: -

Elapsed Time - The total amount of battery support time is monitored. The elapsed time counter

decrements to represent the use/shelf life of the battery.

Remaining Time - The remaining battery life is calculated by subtracting the elapsed time from

the expected time. The remaining life may be read via the optical or RS232 communications port and its value optionally included in the display sequence.

If the remaining time falls to zero, a ‘flag’ is set which can be read by via the optical port or RS232 port.

Failed Battery - The occurrence of total battery fail is monitored each time the meter is

energised. A flag is set and the time and date recorded when the meter last powered down.

WARNING

See Warning in Section 26.6 regarding additional protection for circuits connected to the auxiliary terminals.

21.1 Customer Configurable Auxiliary Output (SO and Relay)

Retransmit

The customer configurable auxiliary output can be sourced (using the Power Master Unit) to transmit pulses from one of the following registers:

• Cumulative registers (Import or export Wh - Q1, Q2, Q3 or Q4 - VAh 1 or VAh 2)

• Customer defined registers (Register 1 or Register 2)

The pulse value and width can be configured as follows:

Pulse value 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 40, 50, 100, 200, 250

Pulse width (ms) 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120, 160, 200, 250

Pulse width

Caution

Care should be taken in selecting the combination of pulse width and pulses/unit. Avoid combinations that may give insufficient spacing between pulses at maximum load.

To ensure correct operation a maximum of 10 pulses/sec should not be exceeded.

When the meter is in anti-creep mode the output does not pulse.

Rate Indication

The output can be sourced (using the Power Master Unit) to provide indication of an active rate.

The output becomes low impedance if any one of a selected combination of TOU or MD TOU tariffs is activate.

34 A1120/40 - Electronic Polyphase Meter

21.2 Test Indication (Manufacturing option)

The output can be configured at manufacture to generate pulses that replicate the kWh LED or the kvarh LED.

This option is desirable if meter accuracy verification must be performed without using optical pickups. When configured in this way the auxiliary output pulse width and LED pulse width are the same (approximately 6 ms).

22 ADDITIONAL VOLTAGE TERMINALS

As an option the A1120/40 can be supplied with additional terminals that allow external equipment to be powered from the meter (See Figure 5).

WARNING

Connections made to these terminals will only be protected by the installation’s main fuse cutout.

The installer must ensure that additional local protection is provided for any circuits connected to these terminals.

Readings

Integration period - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 minutes. Common with the demand period.

Load profile data is stored with reference to either base time or daylight saving 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).

Page 43

Operating & Maintenance Instructions 35

Status information is also stored with each integration:

• Load profile event indication with time and date stamps – Power up, Power down, Time

change, Configuration change, New day, Daylight savings, Forced end of demand.

• Load profile status indication per period – Transient reset, Time synchronisation, Data

change, CT ratio change, Internal battery failure, Reverse run, Phase failure (one or more phases).

When storage is full, new data overwrites the oldest stored data.

Using Data Stream Mode (9600 baud rate), 90 days of single channel, 30 minute demand period data can be read in less than 30 seconds.

Two methods of reading load profile data are provided:

• Number of day’s data up to and including the current day

• From day x up to and including day y.

Load profiles can be transferred to the Power Master Unit and viewed in Readings.

24 INSTRUMENTATION

Operating & Maintenance Instructions 37

26 INSTALLATION

26.1 Unpacking

Remove the meter from its packaging and inspect for damage.

Check that there is no movement or loose parts within the meter enclosure.

If damage has been sustained in transit, an immediate claim should be made to the Transport Company, and a report sent to the Elster Metering Systems branch office or agent.

WARNING

Removal of the main cover seals will invalidate certification.

The meter type and rating must be correct for the intended application.

26.2 Handling

Once removed from the packaging, meters must be treated with care and not subjected to excessive shock or mechanical vibration.

Care should be taken to avoid marking or scratching the meter case and polycarbonate cover.

26.3 Storage

If the meter is not required for immediate use, it should be returned to the original packing (including plastic bag) and stored in a clean, dry environment.

Storage temperature: -25° C to +85° C

26.4 Installation Site

The installation site should be a dry indoor environment and, as far as is practicable, away from direct sunlight and free from mechanical shock and vibration.

26.5 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The A1120/40 meter has been designed and tested for compliance with the EMC Directive.

It is, however, the responsibility of the installer for ensuring that a system conforms to the Directive.

Page 46

38 A1120/40 - Electronic Polyphase Meter

In order to assist the installer the following guidelines are given: -

1. Keep a.c. circuits and d.c. circuits separated by a minimum of 50mm where possible

2. Where a.c. and d.c. circuits must cross, do so at right angles to each other

3. The cables for each circuit must be bunched together to minimise the loop

4. area enclosed

5. The cables for the pulsing output must use a twisted pair. Where the environment is

electrically hostile, screened twisted pair cable may be required. The screen must be connected to earth at one point only

6. Ancillary equipment must also be CE marked

7. If interposing relays are used (a.c. or d.c.) then these must be correctly and adequately

suppressed

26.6 Fixing and Connection

WARNING

Installation must always be carried out by appropriately trained and qualified personnel in accordance with normal metering custom and practice.

The installer is responsible for the choice of connecting cables which must be appropriate for the voltage and current rating of the meter and for ensuring that the supply is properly fused. For direct current meters, 25mm to the meter rating. i.e. 100A fuse for a 100A meter. Failure to do so may result in damage or fire.

Connections to the auxiliary voltage terminals will only be protected by the installation’s main fuse cut-out. The installer must ensure that additional local protection is provided for any circuits connected to these terminals.

Refer to the connection diagrams inside the terminal cover, paying particular attention to the auxiliary terminal configuration.

Isolate all circuits before carrying out the installation.

Refer to the nameplate to ensure that the correct meter is being installed. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in damage, fire and/or electric shock.

cables are recommended. Meters must be protected by fuses equal

To mount the meter on the meter board

Remove the meter terminal cover.

Fix a 5mm dia. x 13mm long round headed wood screw into the meter board to accommodate the keyhole fixing aperture at the back of the meter. Note that a choice of two fixing points is available for the upper fixing screw (see figure 6). Leave the shank of the screw projecting from the board by

4.5 mm.

Hang the meter on the screw and align it to be vertical.

Secure the lower end of the meter to the board using two 5mm dia. x 13mm long round head screws through the lower mounting holes in the area of the terminal chamber.

Tighten screws just sufficiently to prevent movement of the meter.

Page 47

Operating & Maintenance Instructions 39

WARNING

Do not over-tighten the screws or the meter base may be damaged.

For connecting to the large diameter terminals, strip back the cable insulation by 26mm.

Fully insert cables into the terminals so that the insulation butts up into the counter-sunk recesses in the bottom face of the terminal block.

Using a Number 2 Phillips or flat blade screwdriver, tighten the M6 terminal screws to a torque of between 2.2N m (minimum), 2.8N m (maximum).

Auxiliary terminal connections should be completed with appropriately sized cable. The M3 terminal screws should be tightened using a Number 1 Phillips or flat blade screwdriver to a maximum torque of 0.45N m.

Where connections are taken from the auxiliary voltage terminals, appropriate fuses should be incorporated to protect these circuits.

If a battery (for read without power) is installed in the module housing, the battery must be connected before mains supplies are energised.

It is also recommended that connections to the meter’s RJ11 connector are made with the meter supplies isolated.

27 COMMISSIONING

WARNING

Commissioning must only be carried out by appropriately trained and qualified personnel.

Check that the supply rating on the meter nameplate corresponds to the system rating.

Removal of the meter cover seals will invalidate certification.

With the system de-energised, check the cable connections are secure and correct to the wiring diagram fitted under the terminal cover

Refit and seal the terminal cover. Energise and load the system

At power-up, ensure all segments of the LCD show in the test pattern

Check that the display is cycling through the display sequence

Check that the LED test indicators are illuminated or flashing

Check the operation of the pulse output (if fitted)

Check operation of the RS232 port (if fitted)

Carry out load checks as necessary

28 MAINTENANCE

No maintenance is necessary during the meter's normal working life.

29 DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING

Liquid Crystal Display

Liquid crystals are toxic. If a display is damaged, avoid contact with the liquid. If the liquid makes contact with the skin it must be washed off immediately with water. Seek medical advice.

Recycling Materials

The following meter materials are recyclable: polycarbonates, metals and printed circuit board (see Safety Warning in Section 2).

Major plastic parts are marked with recycling information. On the disposal of a meter, every endeavour should be made to comply with local environmental legislation regarding recovering materials and waste disposal.

Batteries

If the main cover is re exposed.

This battery is completely safe under normal conditions. However, it must never be disassembled, heated above 100°C, incinerated, nor have the contents exposed to water.

Fire, explosion or severe burns may result if these instructions are disregarded.

In the interests of safety, environmental protection and possible legislation, Lithium batteries require careful disposal.

Before arranging for the disposal of these cells, users should satisfy themselves that the proposed means of disposal is both safe and compliant with local legislation requirements.

Elster Metering Systems would like to draw the user's attention to the International Standard for Lithium Batteries - IEC 60084-4. - which gives further information about the handling, storage, transport and disposal of Lithium cells.

The user should contact Elster Metering Systems should difficulties arise in arranging proper disposal. They will if practical, help the user identify safe disposal means.

An optional battery may be housed in a module housing attached to the meter. The battery is a non re-chargeable, alkaline zinc manganese dioxide, PP3 size. Where local legislation places restraint on the disposal of this type of battery, the requirements of that legislation should be obeyed.

APPENDIX A - Checking kWh and kvarh Registration Accuracy

WARNING

Only trained and competent personnel, familiar with meter test procedures should carry out the following operation.

A1 Introduction

Various methods of checking the accuracy of registration of the A1120/40 meter are available. Methods using the LED test indicators and Register advances are described below.

A2 Checking Meter Accuracy Using the LED Test Indicator

The LED test indicators are configured at manufacture to pulse for import kWh and import kvarh (import only meter) or pulse for import plus export kWh and kvarh (import/export or power flow insensitive meters).

A2.1 Comparing the number of LED pulses with substandard meter register advance

What you will need

Suitable test equipment with a sensor to detect LED pulses

A suitable substandard meter (set to the same system configuration as the meter under test)

A counter for counting the number of LED pulses

Checking registration

In orde

seconds.

1. Connect the test equipment and a suitable load to the meter, then power up the meter

2. The right hand Test LED pulses for kWh

r to achieve a rep

eatability of 0.1% the test time at any load needs to be a minimum of 60

3. Run the test for a suitable duration and check the amount the substandard has advanced and the number of pulses detected

Calculate the registration by dividing the number of pulses by the meter constant.

e.g. 994 1000 (meter constant)

Compare this kWh advance with the amount the substandard has advanced.

Repeat for kvarh using left hand Test LED.

(LED count) = 0.994 kWh advance.

Page 65

Operating & Maintenance Instructions 57

A2.2 Comparing LED pulses with substandard meter pulses

This method may be used where the test equipment has the facility to calculate meter errors based on the pulse output from a substandard meter. It will be necessary to set the pulse value of the meter under test (shown on the meter nameplate) into the meter test equipment.

The duration of each test must be at least 60 seconds

The number of LED pulses should be greater than:-

Itest x V x Pf x N x K

1000 x 60 V = System voltage

Pf = Power factor of test load

N = Number of system elements

K = LED pulse value, impulses/kWh

Itest = Test current

A3 Checking Meter Registration Accuracy from Register Advances

For these methods the advance of the meter register is used rather than the LED Test Indicator.

A3.1 Using the 'Dial Test' values on the meter display

Meters may be set to show cumulative kWh and kvarh registers with increased resolution by using Power master Unit instructions via the optical or RS232 port. Dial test displays can be programmed to 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 decimal places.

Import

The display resolution will revert to normal when a further appropriate instruction (Setting power down count to zero) is received, or after a programmable number of power cycles.

What you will need

A suitable supply and load or a meter test bench.

Substandard meter with a kWh (kvarh) display.

For each measured quantity:

1. Connect the meter and substandard meter to the supply

2. Instruct the meter to show register to suitable dial test resolution

3. Record initial values of the meter and substandard meter registers

4. Apply a suitable load to cause a significant register advance

5. Switch off the load to stop the register advancing. Leave the supply connected

6. Record the final register readings, compute the advances and compare the meter advance with the substandard advance

APPENDIX D - External Battery Module

D1 External Battery Module

An External Battery Module can be fitted as an option which allows reading of meter data via the optical port and access to the display facilities during power outages. The battery is housed in the Module Carrier that fits below the meter terminal cover.

The Battery Module connects to the meter via a special ‘Molex’ connector.

The 'Molex' connector is optional. The use of the External Battery Module must be specified at the time the meters are ordered.

External Battery Status

The battery voltage is monitored to detect if it has failed. A new battery install date can be programmed and can be read back from the meter.

Using the External Battery Facility during Power Outages

The External Battery facility will only operate when power has been removed from the meter. The module is energised by pressing the display pushbutton.

Once the module has been energised-

Displays can cycled in the normal way using the pushbuttons Meter data can be read via the optical port (note that the communications session will always be

completed before power is removed)

External Battery Module power will be removed from the meter if the 'No button time-out' (programmable from 10 to 120 seconds using the Power Master Unit) has expired.

1 SCOPE

This Chapter covers the operation and installation of the ASL A1120/40 GSM modem and Technolog A1120/40 GSM modem. Both modems are housed in a secure carrier that fits under the meter terminal cover.

Before installing a module or module peripheral equipment, read the Safety Warnings,

Warnings, Precautions for handling electrostatic discharge sensitive devices and EMC Guidelines below.

2 WARNINGS, CE MARKING AND EMC

SAFETY WARNINGS

Dangerous voltages are present If the Terminal Cover Plate is not fitted to the A1120 meter, all supplies to the meter

must be isolated before a module or module peripheral equipment is installed or

removed.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock or death.

When installing or removing a module, be aware that multi-drop terminals may be energised from other A1120 meters.

Caution

Installation of a faulty module or module peripheral equipment may affect the main meter functionality.

2.1 Handling

Observe precautions for handling electrostatic discharge sensitive devices

When handling communications modules and module peripheral equipment described in this manual, observe electrostatic discharge precautions at all times.

CAUTION

2.3 Guidelines for Compliance with EMC Directive

The A1120/40 meter has been designed and tested for compliance with the EMC and other applicable directives.

It is, however, the responsibility of the installer to ensure that an installed system conforms to the directives.

In order to assist the installer the following guidelines are given:

1. Keep a.c. circuits and d.c. circuits separated by a minimum of 50mm where ever possible

2. Where a.c. and d.c. circuits cross, they must do so at right angles to each other

3. The cables for each circuit must be bunched together to minimise the loop area enclosed

4. Where the environment is electrically hostile, screened twisted pair cables may be required. The screen must be connected to earth at one point only

5. Ancillary equipment must also be CE marked

Recommended transmission distances for RS232 and RS485 are shown below:

The RS232 or RS485 incoming cable should always be connected to the first meter in the multi-drop chain.

Connecting a cable to a meter in the middle of a chain is not recommended.

3 GSM MODEMS GENERAL INFORMATION

GSM (Global System for Mobile) Communications Modems are ideally suited for use in remote

areas where it is not practical to connect to a PSTN telephone network. The modems can be used in any area that provides GSM coverage.

Two types of GSM modems have been developed for use with the A1120/40 meter:

Technolog A1120/40 GSM Cello Modem

ASL A1120/40 GSM Modem

The modems have been custom designed for use with the A1120/40 meter and can be installed beneath the meter terminal cover.

GSM modems can be used with the Service provider of your choice.

Meters can be multi-dropped if required (See Section 4.2.1 for multi-drop Installation).

About the SIM

The SIM Card must be provided by the by the Network Service Provider (O2, Orange, Vodafone etc) with the following settings:

Data enabled Air baud rate: 1200 - 9600 (the SIM baud rate must be configured to match the meter serial port baud rate)

Transparent (no error correction) or non-transparent (error correction)

The preferred settings for the A1120 are - 9600 baud, non-transparent

SIM security pin disable

It is a requirement that the SIM Card Pin Security Number for all types of GSM modem

is disabled on installation. If the pin security number is enabled and the modem is powered down, a site visit will be necessary to re-enter the pin number.

Transmission speeds (all modems) 1200 baud 2400 baud 4800 baud 9600 baud

Error checking

The GSM system allows full verification of all data received when configured in nontransparent mode.

Antenna

There is a wide range of antennae, each with their own characteristics for use with GSM modems. It is therefore important to choose an antenna most suitable for your installation.

Page 80

Communications 7

___________________________________________________________________________

How to Site the Antenna

The antenna should be mounted vertically in a position where it is possible to receive good mobile phone reception from your Service Provider. Signal strength may be tested by using the monitor on a mobile telephone providing the mobile uses the same service provider as the SIM in the GSM.

It is recommended that the antenna is mounted at least 1 metre from the installation.

Power Master Unit

1.1 Power Master Unit Introduction

This section gives the basics on how to use the Power Master Unit software.

The Power Master Unit (Referred to in this manual as the Master Unit) software is a menu driven package designed to support all variants of Elster Metering Systems:

A1700 (PPM) Polyphase Commercial and Industrial Meters

A1120/40 Light Industrial and Commercial Meters

A120/140 Electronic Single-phase Domestic Meters

Power Master Unit meter compatibility does not allow different meter types to be programmed by the same scheme, therefore a separate manual support's each application. This manual supports A1120 and A1140 meters only. For information on how to program the A1700 and PPM meters, see manual M120 001 6.

To program A120/140 meters, see manual M130 001 3.

The key features of the Master Unit software are:

Menu driven, using Microsoft process of setting up a meter for any particular application.

Programming structure to ensure that, if an attempt is made to program a feature that is not present in a meter, erroneous data cannot be programmed.

All other features are programmed normally.

Windows based operating software to guide the user through the

The Software permits:

Reading and Programming directly through the optical port

Reading and Programming through the serial port either directly or via a modem

Reading and Programming indirectly via a Hand Held Unit (HHU) through the optical port

Transferring information to and from a HHU

1.2 Prerequisites

This tutorial assumes you are comfortable with the 'Microsoft Windows' environment.

The Master Unit is Windows™ compatible, but if you are uncertain of the Windows structure, it is worth spending a little time familiarising yourself with the 'Brief Tour of Microsoft Windows' in the Windows manual before entering the software.
