    Introduction Introduction Cashpower Gemini HMI is part of the Gemini family of prepayment meters and is a single-phase, keypad-based, stand-alone or split prepayment electricity meter in a British Standard housing. If used as a split prepayment meter, it comprises two parts, namely the meter and the customer interface unit.
