i210+ with UMT-R - GE Digital Energy - #1

Text version of the page

Energy I-210+ Equipped with DCSI's UMT-R Endpoint GE Energy's I-210+ with integrated DCSI UMT-R (Universal Meter Transponder—Residential) provides remote two-way access to consumption and voltage data contained in the meter through the TWACS® fixed network power line communication system. This combined solution brings significant value to the marketplace. Efficiency, Reliability, and Accuracy The I-210+ singlephase meter is an electronic watthour meter that measures energy consumption in single phase services, delivering outstanding operational efficiency and reliable measurement. With its innovative, simplified sensor design and mechanical construction, it provides high quality, solid-state measurement performance, accuracy, and reliability—and dramatically reduces lifetime meter ownership costs. It meets or exceeds GE's operation standards, at temperatures from -40°C through +85°C. And it's available in all popular meter forms for residential or commercial singlephase services. The UMT-R is available as a factory integrated module. The endpoint is fully contained under the meter's cover and is designed to read the meter registers directly. This enables retrieval of measurements computed by GE's metrology circuits and algorithms, critical values that are used for generating customer bills, thereby avoiding potential descrepancies between billing values displayed atthe endpoint and those that might be derived externally utilizing pulse outputs or any other method "external" to the metering endpoint. This allows for much more efficient and robust data collection compared to pulse based reads. DCSI's UMT-R endpoint provides internal AMR capability to GE's I-210+ solid state residential meter. The I-210+ equipped with the UMT-R is a direct register-read solution which allows the utility to access the full featureset of the I-210+ meter—including the meter's registers that record local line voltage. Data contained in the meter's ANSI tables is accessible through the TWACS Network. The UMT-R also performs Interval Data Retrieval (IDR). IDR data is calculated from readings received hourly from the I-210+, and is stored within the transponder's memory. More Aboutthe I-210+ The I-210+, GE Energy's latest singlephase basic energy meter, is designed to offer utilities high quality, solid-state measurement performance, affordability, accuracy and reliability. The I-210+ measures energy, and with the addition of a softswitch, is compatible with a suite of third-party AMR solutions. The I-210+ comes with the option of an integrated, factory installed remote disconnect switch to help utilities more efficiently address issues such as non-payments and move-in, move-outs. The meter is also offered in network forms (I-210+n) allowing utilities to more cost-effectively meter network services. • Low starting watts which capture energy consumption at levels typically not registered by electromechanical meters. • Low burden which minimizes utility system losses. • Patented tamper algorithm to detect tamper-by-meter inversion (turning the meter upside down) • Large, easy to read LCD display. • Operation over a broad temperature range (-40°C through +85°C). • Voltage: ±20% • Typical starting watts: <=5.0 watts (Form 2S 240 V CL200) • Typical watts Loss: 0.7 watts • Typical accuracy: within +/- 0.2% • Performance meets or exceeds
