Gen 4 Model Single Phase Smart Meter

Gen 4 Model Single Phase Smart Meter

Designed for residential and small commercial energy consumers, the IEC Single Phase Meter sets a new standard for revenue-grade smart energy meters.

Safe, accurate, and reliable, the meter incorporates a full suite of operating features with an integrated, software-controlled disconnect switch, a comprehensive information display, and Echelon’s robust, bidirectional power line signaling technology. Each meter, which is automatically managed by an NES Data Concentrator, can also act as a repeater to reach other meters. This lets it create a power line-based meshed network of meters that exactly matches the real topology of a

utility’s low-voltage distribution network.

Integrated Disconnect

Reconnect Switch

• Integrated 100A switch can be locally or remotely controlled.

• Supports customer move-in/move-out management, load limiting, and pre-paid metering.

Load Profile

• Up to 16 channels of remotely configurable load profile data can be captured at programmable intervals ranging from 5 minutes to once a day.

• Load profile storage capacity is a function of the number of channels and the log interval. For example, single-channel, 1-hour data can be retained for 180 days.

Advanced Power Line Communication

• Every NES smart meter includes

Echelon’s proven, standards-based, power line communications technology

— the world’s most widely deployed signaling technology.

• Every meter includes an automatic repeating function.

• Communicates with an NES Data Concentrator.

Power Quality Analysis

• Long and short outage detection with configurable time threshold.

• Voltage sag and swell detection

with configurable voltage and duration thresholds.

• THD event detection with analysis up to 10th harmonic to reveal unusual conditions.

Time-of-use Metering

• Remotely configurable time-of-use metering leading to peak load reduction supports 4 tariff tiers with up to 10 tier switches per day.

• Rich calendar functionality with day schedules for each season, adjustable time zones, and support for daylight savings time.

• Support for changing the calendar through a pending time-of-use calendar.

Demand Metering

• Optional demand metering allows billing based on maximum demand.

• Includes support for block or rolling demand calculations, configurable demand intervals, and logging 2 coincident parameters.

• Supports local or remote demand reset.

Prepay Metering

• Energy credit-based prepay functionality including varying

Forward and reverse active and reactive energy measurements
