ALCS support that can be fitted with an ICHIS compliant Communications Hub. The EDMI ES-10B electricity meter and Communications Hub (if fitted) are intended for use in CAT III 300V / 4000VAC impulse rated installations. This means that they are suitable for use in locations on conductors that have up to 300V phase to ground and can withstand transient impulses up to 4000VAC.
ES-10B 4 Terminal Single Phase Residential Electricity Meter - Product Guide 4 Handling of Meters To ensure the longevity of ES-10B meters supplied by EDMI we ask for some steps to be followed when handling meters. Always use EDMI provided packaging EDMI packaging is supplied with every meter, this packaging is designed to protect the meter from environmental issues as well as protecting it from damage.
Terminal Cover Tamper Detection The ES-10B meter has an internal micro switch that detects the opening of the terminal cover. It is located at the centre of the terminals. The meter generates an alert, which will be sent via the HAN to the energy supplier and logged internally, when the switch is released.
The meter’s voltage and current ratings are specified in section 18 Auxiliary Load Control Switch (ALCS) The ES-10B is fitted as standard with a 230VAC 2A ALCS relay connection. This output should not be used as a pulsing output for transmitting energy pulses, as the output contacts are subject to contact bounce and are not rated for continuous switching.
The local optical port position is shown in 4 within Figure 5-1: ES-10B Meter. The ES-10B uses an optical interface to connect the meter to a PC/Test bench/Portable device using a magnetic optical port read head. The optical interface provides a serial connection to the device at 9600 baud.
Meter - Product Guide 9 Inside the Meter Note: The meter is not designed to be opened after manufacture unless in an EDMI approved triage centre. Care must be taken as dangerous voltages are present in the circuitry inside the meter while the meter is active.
Figure 11-1: Enunciators 12 The Pushbuttons & User Interface The ES-10B has two pushbuttons for installers/customers to interact with the meter, and both are multifunctional. Figure 12-1 shows the two buttons and labelling around them. The left button acts as both as the ‘up’ and ‘left’ functions, and the right button acts as the ‘down’ and ‘right’ functions.
Note! Boost functionality is a feature that is enabled by firmware. Thus this feature may be unavailable depending on the firmware version of the meter. The ES-10B will support the boost functionality of the electricity device. The boost functionality will support the following message codes, resulting in the “Activation”, “Cancelation” or “Extension” of the boost period.
(via the Communications Service Provider). Only Communications Hubs that follow the ICHIS standard are compatible with the ES-10B (previous hubs used with the Mk7B are not compatible). Figure 16-1 shows a meter with an intimate connection to an Arqiva Communications Hub.
17 Servicing The meter is not designed for field servicing and has no user serviceable parts. The meter has no internal fuses. In the event of failure of the meter, contact EDMI or follow your approved diagnostics and triage process.
