While network voltage is disconnected, micro-controller operates in energy saving mode, thus, indicator is not active. When G1B meter is disconnected, data still may be reviewed by affecting optical scroll key by long light signal or by pushing a scroll push button for 2 to 5 seconds. For more information see chapter 11.1.
5.7 Sliding voltage link A sliding voltage link is intended for fast and simple separation of the meter current and voltage circuits for calibration or accuracy testing. A special slider that can be shifted side to side by means of a screwdriver is built in a terminal block. Meter main cover enables two options (option is selected during the moulding process by means of changeable inserts in the mould): 1) Voltage link is secured (covered) by main cover;...
GAMA 100 meters may be equipped with a controller MCL 5.XX with electrical interface (CL or RS485). Controller is manufactured by “ELGAMA SISTEMOS” Ltd. and is used in AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) systems for remote automated data reading, parameterization and firmware update of electricity meters.
• As an internal modem, installed under the main cover of meter (see section 4.9 and section 6.4.1). Modem is manufactured by “ELGAMA-Elektronika” Ltd. and is used in metering systems for automated remote data reading, parameterization, as well as firmware update of electricity meters by means of DLMS COSEM protocol.
Since complying with Prime PLC specification, electricity meter G1B with PLC modem can communicate to any Data Concentrator, supporting Prime PLC. Manufacturer recommends Data Concentrator DMDC, produced by Elgama Sistemos Ltd. Prime PLC modems support Plug&Play functionality. It enables automatic registering on network, therefore additional configuration of communication devices is not needed during the installation process.
6.6 Wireless M-Bus interface G1B meters may be equipped with wireless M-Bus interface for automated remote data reading from gas and water meters, as well as for billing data transmission to In-Home-Displays. Wireless M-Bus interface is implemented according to EN-137757-2 and EN13757-4 standards. Wireless M-Bus interface is available in two frequency range options: 169 MHz and 868 MHz.
6.9 Power supply Pulse mode power supply is mounted in GAMA 100 meters. It guarantees stable functioning of meter when supply voltage ranges from -20 ... +15% of nominal voltage. In case of power outages, micro-controller switches into energy saving mode, where Li-ion battery or supercapacitor supplies only internal clock.
6.10.2 Sealed push-button Sealed push-button is designed for several functions: • Communication unblock – meter blocks optical interface for parameterization (see chapter 13.2.6); • Billing period reset- reset signal triggers the storage of the billing data to the appropriate area of non-volatile memory and new billing period starts (chapter 8.1); Customer may choose between some of these functions (communication unblock and billing period reset) during ordering process.

8.2 Load profile Load profile stores values of different registers at regular intervals. G1B meter may store up to 16 channels (up to 16 different data values) in load profile. Any demand (e.g. 1.5.0), total energy (e.g. 1.8.0) or average value per integration period may be assigned to any of 16 load profile channels. Values of chosen registers are saved to load profile at regular intervals of time (integration period).
NOTE: energy registers (see section 7.1) as well as demand and energy values in load profile and billing profile are stored with the same resolution, therefore monthly billing data is always equal to sum of load profile data. NOTE: On special request, the capacity of non-volatile memory can be reassigned in different proportions for load profile, billing profile and event logs.
• Internal meter state events: o Meter error (internal error) log (OBIS = P.98.50); o Tariff events log (OBIS = P.98.51); o Load profiles reset log(OBIS = P.98.52); o Firmware update log (OBIS = P.98.60); 8.5.1 Power failure (outage) event log Power outage event log registers power outages.

8.5.8 Neutral current balance event log Neutral current balance event log registers neutral current imbalance events. Each imbalance event creates entry in the event log. Entry contains date and time of event, as well as status indicating type of event. Neutral current balance event log stores 20 entries, i.e. date and time of last 20 events.
user interface by means of push buttons. Each change of date and/or time invokes two entries in event log: the first one contains old time stamp, another contains new time stamp. Clock setting event log stores 60 entries, i.e. date and time of last 30 clock changes. Furthermore, a dedicated counter (OBIS = C.60.40) counts the total number of occurrences [0 .9999] of clock setting events.
2B22 Failed authentication of Management client (electrical interface); 2B24 Failed authentication of FW update client (electrical interface). 8.5.15 Meter (internal) error event log Internal error event log registers internal errors of meter. Each error creates entry in the event log. Entry contains date and time of event, as well as status indicating type of error.
∆ ∆ If at certain moment of current integration period, average power P exceeds contractual power limit (P >P ), meter registers “Power over-limit” event (see Figure 9-1). Event lasts until the end of current integration period. These events (including time stamps of start and end) are recorded in a separate event log “Power over-limit”...
