of credit before the end of the grace period then the supply will disconnect unless the grace period is configured
such that the supply never disconnects.
In Friendly Credit period the meter will continue to manage its account in accordance with its configuration, tariff
and debt settings. Debts accrued during a Friendly Credit period are deducted from user's top-up with only the
balance being added to the meter's account.
Friendly Credit periods are configurable locally as well as remotely by authorised users. The following
combinations can be configured for Friendly Credit periods:
a) Start and end time (hh:mm) which will apply every day
b) Day of the week (1 through 7; Monday=1, Sunday=7)
c) Specific dates (DD:MM:YYYY) up to a maximum of 30 days
d) Seasonal (i.e. periods more than a day), start and end dates (DD:MM) up to a maximum of 10 seasonal
periods.
Except for (a) in the list above, all configured Friendly Credit periods start at 00:00:00 hours on the start date
and end at 23:59:59 hours on the end date. If multiple Friendly Credit periods overlap, the longest period will
apply as shown in the following example:

events.
