ITRON CENTRON® GPRS SMARTMETER
The combination of Itron’s CENTRON® Meter with the GPRS
SmartMeter Module from SmartSynch® introduces a powerful residential
communication solution for utilities. SmartSynch’s Transaction
Management System (TMS™) manages all meters integrated with the
SmartMeter module including the CENTRON GPRS SmartMeter. The
integrated CENTRON GPRS SmartMeter utilizes ANSI communication
standards to retrieve data and events for all the ANSI C12.19-1997 tables
and standard manufacturer procedures.

ITRON CENTRON® GPRS SMARTMETER
Functions and Features
Flexible Two-Way Data Retrieval and Scheduled Data Collection
Users can execute all appropriate TMS functionality using user configurable SmartMeter controlled schedules and TMS
controlled schedules and as well as on an on-demand basis.
Automated Interval Data/Energy Usage Retrieval
The CENTRON GPRS SmartMeter module retrieves and transmits interval data for 1 unique energy value for intervals as small
as 5 minutes. Recorded events and exceptions with each interval are also transmitted to the TMS, which interprets them and
logs appropriate messages (e.g. time adjustments).
Real-Time Interval Reads
Real-time interval data acquisition enables utilities to implement Load Curtailment and Real Time Pricing (RTP) programs.
With this functionality, the user can configure the SmartMeter module to transmit load profile data as often as every 15
minutes at interval completion.
Automated Register, Self-Read and TOU Retrieval
The CENTRON GPRS SmartMeter module is configured by the TMS to read and transmit all or a subset of enabled registers
including totals, self-reads, maximum demand and time-of-use values.
Demand Resets
The CENTRON GPRS SmartMeter module executes Demand Resets using one of three methods: SmartModule initiated
schedules, TMS initiated schedules or TMS on-demand requests.
Real-Time Meter Event and Alarm Retrieval
The CENTRON GPRS SmartMeter provides automatic real-time alarm reporting of all events defined in the ANSI C12.19
standard
including history and event codes, ANSI Standard status and Manufacturer status alarms. Additionally, alarms received by
TMS can be automatically routed via e-mail to a specific user or group of users using the TMS Message Routing Interface.
Real-Time Power Outage and Restoration Alarms
With built-in Ultra Capacitor energy storage, the CENTRON GPRS SmartMeter module will transmit a real time “last gasp”
notification when detecting an AC power outage without requiring the use of less reliable batteries. The CENTRON GPRS
SmartMeter also notifies the TMS when the AC power is restored and provides full configuration of these alarms based on
user defined durations.
Service Diagnostic and Tamper Detection Alerts
The CENTRON GPRS SmartMeter can report power service and wiring errors detected by the meter including reverse polarity, cross-phase and energy flow, phase voltage deviation, inactive phase current, phase angle displacement, and current
waveform distortion. In addition, the SmartMeter can detect and report exceptions for the following tamper events: number
of Demand Resets, Loss of AC power, and reported power outages.
The TMS configures a specific filter in the SmartMeter for each of these events enabling the transmission of a corresponding
alert only after the event is repeated a minimum of times within a specific duration. The TMS can also configure the
SmartMeter to reset the event counter when the alert message is transmitted.
Tilt Detection
The CENTRON GPRS SmartMeter can detect and report tilt events that occur when the SmartMeter is moved from its installation
position.
Meter Clock Synchronization
If enabled, the SmartModule automatically adjusts the meter clock when the time deviation falls within user-defined lower and upper
deviation boundaries based on a reference clock provided by the TMS. If the deviation exceeds the upper boundary, the module reports
the deviation via an alarm but does not correct the meter clock. If the deviation is less than the lower boundary, the module ignores the
deviation.
SmartMeter Status Display
The CENTRON GPRS SmartMeter supports an optional LCD status sequence to display important SmartMeter indicators periodically.
This status sequence includes the meter site coverage status, SmartModule firmware state and any SmartModule firmware warnings/errors
enabling technicians to ensure proper installation of the CENTRON GPRS SmartMeters and allow field troubleshooting without any other
tools.
Automated Meter Registration
The SmartMeter module automatically transmits a registration message to the TMS when the meter is installed without requiring user
intervention. This message permits the TMS to create or update the meter record with validated information ensuring accurate and automated record entries without user intervention.
Secure and Encrypted Data Transmissions
128-bit encryption is applied to all messages exchanged between the TMS and the SmartMeter module, utilizing a unique meter specific
encryption key.
Over-The-Air SmartMeter Module Firmware Upgrade
TMS users with administrator privileges can remotely upgrade the CENTRON GPRS SmartMeter module firmware for one or multiple
GPRS modules.
Transmission Efficiency
In addition to support for allowing users to filter the number of meter channels and types of diagnostics that are returned, all
wireless messages are converted to binary and optimally compressed before transmission to ensure the most economical data processing rates. The compression ratio can be as high as 50% and overall data usage can be as little as 5% of the total usage of other wireless
systems.
Automated ID Tracking
Barcode labels and important identifiers (e.g. ICC-ID / MS-ISDN) are attached to the integrated SmartMeter for tracking and troubleshooting purposes.
On-Demand Data Reads For Virtual Disconnect
Customers can perform virtual disconnects through the TMS by retrieving a final read for one end-user and an initial read for a
subsequent end-user. This function is also utilized to perform meter “switch-outs.”
