The meter may be configured to operate in a credit mode. When operating
in credit mode the meter will not open its contactor (unless instructed) and
ignore any credit values set into the meter. The default operating display
will be the active Rate Register display.
The Present Balance register is a continuously updated record of credit
available for payment of energy consumption, standing charge collection
and debt recovery. The Present Balance register will be reduced every time
a kWh of energy is consumed. The meter will deduct one PPU value at the
active rate each time the Active Rate register records a whole kWh of
usage. Standing Charge and Debt Recovery will also periodically reduce
the Present Balance register. The Present Balance register will record in
both positive and negative values with negative values shown as Debt.
When receiving a Credit Top-up transaction, the Present Balance register
will be incremented by the monetary value of transaction.
The Present Balance register values shall be in Pounds (€ following a
currency conversion) and hold a maximum value of £999.99.
If the Present Balance register is exhausted, the supply shall be
disconnected until the Present Balance register is brought back into credit,
provided the meter is not in a Non-Disconnect period or Emergency Credit
is evoked.
It shall be possible to alter the Present Balance register by a Credit Adjust
command.
The Meter shall maintain a log of the last 20 payments received.
The log shall consist of:
Date of payment received

Value of payment received

 Flag to denote whether the payment was received by SMS or by
