The meter accepts payments supplied in the form of a 'token' which
represents a monetary credit to be added to the meter. A payment token is
only accepted when the meter account is operating in prepayment mode.
The meter in prepayment mode manages end customer consumption by
disconnect and allowing re-connecting the customer premises by means of
the built-in supply control switch depending on the credit/debt position of
the meter.
The supply control switch can be in one of three conditions:

ON – The supply control switch is closed.
This condition is maintained whilst the meter has some available
credit, either prepaid credit or released emergency credit, or if the
meter is in a period of non-disablement after the meter entered that
period with the supply control switch closed.

OFF – The supply control switch is open.
The supply control switch is open because there is no credit available,
or the supply was already disabled when the non-disablement period
was entered. The customer must either release emergency credit if not
already released or purchase a credit top up sufficient to restore the
meter balance to, at least, zero (see accumulated debt register and
OWED register).

ARM – The supply control switch is open.
The meter has received sufficient credit via top up or release of
emergency credit to restore the meter balance to, at least, zero. The
meter will show an icon to denote that reconnection is possible. The
customer may then initiate the supply control switch reconnection
process using button B. The supply control switch can also be in the
arm position where Load Limiting is in operation, the load limit value
has been exceeded and the meter is configured to disable supply upon
a load limit event.
The accumulated debt register contains the debt resulting from the
collection of standing charge and/or time-based debt when emergency
credit is in use, as configured by suspend debt emergency settings, when
operating in prepayment mode.
The OWED register is only displayed when the customer prepaid credit has
expired and there is an amount to repay. The OWED register then replaces
the meter balance display.
The OWED register is the sum of the following:

The emergency credit used

The accumulated debt register

The negative meter balance. (Negative meter balance can arise
from friendly credit and from negative credit adjustments).

The payment based debt to be recovered from the payment
