BEC62(08) product overview

The BEC62(08) is a three-phase, four wire, STS compliant prepayment electricity meter ideal for
residential, commercial and light industrial electricity metering applications.

The device is also termed a “split” meter, consisting of two items; the MCU (measurement control unit
and the UIU (User interface unit). The MCU is installed outside the customer premises in a meter box
or kiosk, while the UIU sits inside the customer premises.

The BEC62(08) solution provides a number of innovations, the split function serves as a great
advantage to the utility as access to the meter is restricted, thereby reducing the chance of meter
tamper. The unit also has a wide range of programmable functions, to provide a high level of
customisation for each utility.

This LED has a dual function - it indicates the rate of consumption and is also used to verify the
accuracy of the meter.

 The LED flashes faster to indicate a rapid consumption of electricity.

 The LED pulses 1,000 times for every kWh of energy measured.

Virtual token carrier (VTC)


The BEC62(08) meter supports two VTC interfaces.

Direct probe port (type A)

 This port is primarily used to extract data from an uninstalled meter using a hand-held unit, as
it enables the interrogator unit to supply power to the meter.

 The physical port is shared with the flags port; therefore only one channel can be used at a
time.

 The flags port takes priority.

Flags probe port

 This port is primarily used to extract data from an installed meter using a hand-held unit.

 The physical port is shared with the direct probe interface; therefore only one channel can be
used at a time.

 The flags port takes priority.

 This port is optically isolated, so you are protected and totally isolated from the mains supply.

 This port only operates when the meter is powered.

 You cannot power the meter through this interface.

Installing a wireless solution
The BEC62(08) can be converted into a wireless meter, through the addition of a Wireless Meter
Interface (WMI) which enables RF communication from the meter to the Wireless User Interface Unit
(wUIU). It is important to note that the wireless solution requires a wUIU to be installed in the
consumer’s home.

To install the wireless meter interface (WMI):

The WMI is installed close to the meter to enable RF communication. The WMI can be installed on a
pole with cable ties, or within a pole top box on a DIN rail. When installed in an unobstructed
environment a distance of up to 150 metres, line of sight, can be achieved between the two devices.

Once positioned, the communication cables from the WMI are connected onto the meter terminals 12
and 13, by pushing back the orange clips. The terminals are not polarity sensitive (See Figure 2,
Wiring instructions).

Testing the meter installation and sealing the device

1. Fit the terminal cover, taking care not to damage the tamper switch post. Tighten the piston
head screws of the terminal cover. Do not fit the security seals.

2. Before testing the installation ensure that the UIU has been installed and connected.

3. Apply power to the meter by closing the upstream breaker.

4. The communication LED (yellow) will flash indicating that there is communication between the
meter and the UIU and the UIU will display the available credit.

5. The load status LED (green) will indicate the status of the consumer’s supply. If the LED is on
then the consumer supply is connected. If flashing the consumer’s supply is disconnected.

6. In some cases the meter may require a commissioning token to connect the consumer’s
supply. Refer to “Checking if the meter is commissioned” to determine whether the meter
requires commissioning. If the meter requires commissioning, refer below to “Commissioning
the meter”.

BEC62(08) technical manual 22

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


7. Confirm that the serial number printed on the meter barcode label and the identification card is
correct by typing #100# on the UIU and comparing these.

8. If the meter is working correctly insert the supplied security seals.

Commissioning the meter

Important
 If the meter is has not been commissioned, the consumer's electricity supply
remains disconnected, regardless of the credit state of the meter.

 The commissioning token number is 1275 4194 1448 6450 5970 and is not meter
specific and therefore can be used on all Conlog STS meters

 Alternatively the short code #043# can be used for wireless installations

The decision to configure a meter with the commissioning function is made when the meter order is
placed and the meter is manufactured at Conlog.

The benefit of an un-commissioned meter is that you can conclude the installation and apply the
incoming electricity supply, without the meter going into a tamper state. This means you do not need
to carry meter specific tamper tokens, and won't experience unnecessary delays in concluding an
installation.

After you have verified the installation, as described in the Testing the meter installation and sealing
the device section, enter the commissioning token or short code on the UIU’s keypad. Once this is
entered, tamper detection is active and the consumer’s electricity supply is connected.

Checking if the meter is commissioned

Short code: #031#

If the meter is supplied in a commissioned state, it will detect tamper as soon as the electricity supply
is connected. If it is supplied in an un-commissioned state, it will not detect tamper until the meter is
commissioned.

To determine if the meter has been commissioned:

Enter #031# on the keypad.

Meter has been commissioned.

Meter has not been commissioned.

Features of the meter

Security
There is provision for serialised security seals in combination with “sacrificial” plastic seals. The meter
is completely sealed to prevent tampering. Tamper can be detected even if supply is disconnected
(optional). The user Interface incorporates a shortcut key to display the number of tamper conditions
detected.

The meter has an internal register of correctly entered meter specific tokens to prohibit the replaying of
tokens. Each meter has a unique meter security key. The terminal cover has a tamper detection
feature. The meter can be commissioned at installation (optional).

Reliability
Conformal-coated PCB’s, ensure protection against the ingress of insects, dust and humidity
The UIU has a proven reliability of more than one million operations per key.

Pick and place technology using surface mounted components ensures a high degree of
manufacturing accuracy, repeatability and reliability. The meter accuracy is maintained over the life of
the meter.

Protection
Each phase is protected by a 5kA / 5kV surge arrestor. The electronic circuits are designed to
withstand 420VAC for up to 48 hours. The meter is equipped with thermal protection on the terminals,
enhancing product safety and the meter’s life cycle. The product is designed to suspend electricity
supply under power and current overload conditions with a short time over current protection of 3.0kA
and thermal protection

The BEC62(08) incorporates three 100A latching relays to connect / disconnect the consumer supply.
The following features are employed as protection features for both the consumer’s appliances and
the meter.

Power, unbalanced power and current overloads:

 The supply will be restored automatically 30 seconds after the trip event was registered.
 If the trip event persists then the consumers supply will be disconnected again.
 After 5 attempts to reconnect, the consumers supply will be disconnected for 30 minutes.

Thermal, over voltage and under voltage trips:

 The supply will be restored when the trip condition no longer exists for a period of 15 seconds.

Under and over voltage measurement

This setting is a trip threshold that suspends electricity supply when an under or over voltage condition
exists. The supply is suspended until the voltage conditions return to normal. The trip threshold can be
configured for both under and over voltage supply conditions. The average voltage is calculated every
fifteen seconds.

BEC62(08) technical manual 24

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


Current measurement

Current measured is calculated every 15 seconds and is derived from the average power and the
average voltage measured per phase. The derived current measurement is used for the over current
trip evaluation.

Temperature measurement

The average temperature is calculated every 15 seconds from the samples accumulated, and is used
for the over temperature trip evaluations. Temperature is measured on all phases individually,
including neutral.

Nominal voltage measurement

The average voltage per phase is measured every 15 seconds from the samples accumulated. This
value is used for t under and over voltage trip evaluations.

Power overload

Short code: #007#

If the instantaneous power measured by the meter is higher that the power load limit setting then the
meter will disconnect the consumers supply. The trip limit can be changed through the use of a meter
specific token from a vending unit.

The power load limit is displayed in kilowatts (kW).

Phase unbalance power overload

Short code: #010#

If the instantaneous power measured between any of the three phases by the meter is higher that the
unbalanced power load limit setting then the meter will disconnect the consumers supply.

The display indicates a maximum phase unbalance limit of


23 kW.

Thermal overload

If the temperature of the busbars on any of the phases, including neutral, measured by the meter rises
above a maximum temperature trip limit (default) of 120C the meter will disconnect the consumers
supply. The supply will remain disconnected until such time as the temperature has dropped below a
reconnect temperature trip limit of 105C.

The maximum temperature trip limit is configurable and cannot be set to lower than 55C. A value of
lower than 55C will be ignored and a trip limit of 55C will be set. The maximum temperature trip limit
is not configurable and is used to protect the meter.

Over voltage and under voltage

Short code: #035#

This short code displays the under and over voltage limits.

 Under voltage

If the average supply voltage measured on any phase by the meter is less than the minimum
voltage trip limit the meter will disconnect the consumers supply. The supply will remain
disconnected until such time as the supply voltage rises above this setting.

The minimum voltage trip limit is configurable in production and the feature can be disabled by
setting the limit to 0VAC.

 Over voltage

If the average supply voltage on any phase measured by the meter is higher than the
maximum voltage limit, the meter disconnects the consumer's supply. The electricity supply
remains disconnected until the voltage drops below this limit.

The default maximum voltage trip limit is configurable; if this value is set to the maximum
value (example 420VAC), the feature will be disabled.

Menu item 1 (indicated by the bar graph) displays the under


voltage threshold limit

Menu item 2 (indicated by the bar graph) displays indicates


the over voltage threshold limit

Current overload

Short code: #037#

If the current measured by the meter is higher than the maximum current limit setting then the meter
will disconnect the consumers supply.

The maximum current limit setting is derived from the power load limit and the nominal voltage of the
meter, configured in production.

The current overload trip limit is displayed in amperes (A).

Extreme current overload

In extreme short term current overload conditions the consumer supply will not be disconnected. This
is to protect the disconnect device from damage.

Tamper
The BEC62(08) meter has optional tamper protection, that is configured in production.

If the tamper feature is enabled, any attempt to tamper with the meter can result in the consumer’s
supply being disconnected, if so configured. The supply is only reconnected when a STS clear tamper
token is entered into the meter. The STS clear tamper token is meter specific.

When enabled, tamper is only active once the meter is commissioned. For information on
commissioning the meter, see the Commissioning the meter section.

The meter supports two primary modes for tamper detection:

 Standard tamper: activates a tamper condition when the meter is powered.

 No power tamper: the meter will detect a tamper condition, even in the absence of an AC
supply. The meter is shipped in a decommissioned state to facilitate installation. In this mode,
the tamper feature is disabled to allow the installer to fit and remove the terminal cover,
without the unit going into tamper.

Once installation is complete, the installer commissions the meter. The no-power tamper feature is
active and any subsequent removal of the terminal cover, with or without the AC supply, will result in
the meter registering a tamper condition.

Other configuration options:

 Do not display tamper status: if selected, the meter does not display the tamper icons when an
active tamper condition is detected.

 Do not trip on tamper: if selected, the meter will record the tamper event but will not
disconnect the supply.

General icon indications

Low credit indication

When the remaining credit in the meter reaches or is lower than the configurable low credit threshold,
the buzzer will emit two short beeps. The audible warning will repeat until silenced by the consumer.
Silencing the buzzer is achieved by pressing the backspace key for three seconds.

If credit is not inserted then the audible low credit warning although acknowledged will be repeated
approximately every 24 hours. Should the UIU power up into a low credit condition the audible warning
will restart.

The hand icon (token required) will flash, indicating that a


credit token is needed.

Zero credit indication

When the available credit reaches zero the disconnection switch suspends the supply of electricity to
the consumer. The “token required” icon will be permanently displayed.

Negative credit indication

Important
When credit is entered into the meter, the negative credit value is first deducted from the
credit entered and only the balance will be displayed.

Under certain circumstances e.g. through switching delays or disconnection switch failure, the
consumer may continue consuming power after all remaining credit has been consumed.

This consumption is registered in the meter as negative credit and is displayed as a negative reading;
alternatively the meter can be configured, at the time of manufacture, so that the display continues to
indicate 0,00 kWh whilst the meter registers the negative credit.

The “token required” icon continues to be displayed and the “supply status” icon is not displayed.
An example of a negative credit display is given below:

29 BEC62(08) technical manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


The display indicates a negative credit reading of negative
6237.81 kWh

Token acceptance indication

The “token accepted” icon, appears briefly after the consumer finishes keying in a 20 digit token, or a
three digit short code, and the token is accepted. If the audible feedback option is installed a short 60
millisecond beep will be heard.

System busy (hourglass) indication

When the “system busy” icon appears the keypad is disabled. The consumer must wait until the icon
disappears before entering data.

Accessing information on the meter using short codes

To access information on the meter, short codes are used. These enable you to extract information
from the meter, without using specialised equipment.

The short codes are a sequence of three numeric digits, bound by two hash commands that you enter
on the meter using the keypad, example #003#.

When you enter a short code you do not need to include the preceding zeros. For example, instead of
entering #041# or #002#, you can use #41# and #2#.

When a short code returns more than a single item of information, you can scroll to view more
information using the hash (#) key. When you scroll, the segments of the bar indicator represent the
menu item you are viewing. So, one segment in the bar indicates menu item 1, two segments in the
bar indicate menu item 2 and so on.

To return to the default display when you are viewing additional information, press the backspace key.

Example

This example shows the meter total to date and the user total to date respectively

Menu item 1 displays the meter total to date. As
