FOCUS AXe Meter with a G5 FOCUS AXe EndpointG5 FOCUS AXe Endpoint OverviewLandis+Gyr FOCUS AXe meters are designed for use in residential and light commercial services. The FOCUS AXe Advanced Function meter is an Active Energy kWh/kW/TOU Meter. The meter features Digital Multiplication Measurement Technique, meets ANSI standards for performance and utilizes ANSI C12.19 protocol.Draft 10.8.14
Quick Start Guide Landis+Gyr4 98-1482 Rev AA Quick Start GuideContact your Landis+Gyr distributors for documentation and details on programming the FOCUS AXe meter.About the LAN IDThe LAN ID is a unique identifier for each Landis+Gyr endpoint and it is always displayed in hex values. Landis+Gyr provides the LAN address. You cannot change the LAN ID of an endpoint.LabelsThe endpoint includes the following labels: Figure 2. Label IdentificationDemand (TOU Capable)•Peak demand•kWh, and kW demand (TOU capable)•Bi-directional measurement•Remote disconnect and reconnect capabilities on the FOCUS AXe Service Disconnect meter•Display and registers powered with disconnect switch in the open position•Detects, logs and reports program or memory failure•Module, ZigBee and Metrology firmware can be upgraded via the network•Metrology firmware can also be upgraded over the optical port•Normal operation during upgrades (displays blanks momentarily during F/W Flash)•Meter software remotely and locally readable•Remote or local load side voltage test•Self-reads occur at midnight for each register•Support for 12 self readsTOU/Recorder•8-channels of load profile•Interval data of 1, 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes•Interval data collection for energy consumption•Meter distinguishes between missing interval and zero consumption•Meter distinguishes between power outage and zero consumption•5-minute interval data is available for a maximum of 45 days for two channelsDraft 10.8.14

Net metering allows the endpoint to report the net power flow of energy in both directions when power is generated locally at a customer’s site (wind, solar, etc.). Figure 3. Enabling Net MeteringTime of Use (Battery-free)Landis+Gyr offers the capability of the endpoint to remotely control up to four TOU schedules. The Meter requires Network Time to keep TOU. The endpoint keeps time once acquired from the Network. The meter must be enabled for TOU.ZigBee/Home Area Network (HAN) FunctionalityWith the Gridstream RF G5 FOCUS AXe module, Landis+Gyr has the ZigBee radio platform for Gridstream RF which gives a utility the ability to increase consumer awareness of energy consumption and encourage personal responsibility for curbing the energy load. ZigBee released a Smart Energy Profile (SEP) application in early 2008 and it is quickly becoming a standard for communicating between energy management devices as part of a home area network (HAN). The ZigBee radio is located on the Gridstream RF AXe module creating an Energy Service Interface (ESI) that manages the bi-directional communication with ZigBee radio-based devices such as in-home displays, smart thermostats and direct load control devices. See the figure below for a demonstration of the communication flow between Command Center and the devices in the home.Draft 10.8.14
Quick Start Guide Landis+Gyr6 98-1482 Rev AA Quick Start Guide Figure 4. ZigBee CommunicationUsing Command Center, the utility sets up the HAN remotely via RF network via a provisioning process. The utility registers each device and a security handshake occurs to ensure protected and closed communication between the meter, endpoint and energy devices in the home.The utility sends downstream pricing information and text messages via Command Center (or 3rd party integrated application) to the module, which uses the ZigBee radio to push down the information to the devices. Because the solution is bi-directional, the devices are also pulling meter data and accurate time that is maintained at the endpoint. The Gridstream RF G5 FOCUS AXe module refreshes data from the meter every 30 seconds and makes it available to all the devices. The endpoint makes available kWh values (delivered only) up to five dial resolution and instantaneous kW up to 99.999 for display. It supports up to five provisioned devices and makes available five tiers for pricing events to align with the meter's number of rates.Text messaging is limited to 80 characters.NOTE: ZigBee radio devices are consumer products and should not be considered part of a mandatory load control program, nor a replacement for viewing energy consumption with the same accuracy found on the meter display. The utility will need to conduct some training of both internal personnel and consumers of the capabilities and limitations of HAN technology.ZigBee radio devices will need to be programmed to respond correctly to each pricing event or Time of Use rate from the meter. An in-home display like the ecoMeter, for instance, will request energy and instantaneous demand data every 7 seconds. It will also request price, which will be provided as flat or Time of Use (TOU) depending on how the meter is programmed. When it sees the meter has changed to Rate B, for instance, it may respond by changing the back lighting to indicate to the consumer that the price of energy has increased. Gridstream RF Network IndicatorThis feature provides a ‘communications health’ view of a Gridstream RF enabled electric metering endpoint on the LCD display of the meter. This health check information can be utilized during field installation or troubleshooting activities to validate status of the Gridstream RF electric endpoint, and provide key inputs to any communications issues that may be encountered from time to time.Draft 10.8.14
Landis+Gyr Quick Start GuideQuick Start Guide 98-1482 Rev AA 7The network indicator feature will display two key elements of communications health characteristics.•Communication Hardware Status: Information about AMI radio communications, HAN(ZigBee) radio communications, and the interactions between the two•RF Mesh Neighbor Status: Information about the number of RF mesh neighbors availablefor network communicationsFor more information on this feature see Appendix E: <Italics>"Gridstream RF Network Indicator" on page -109.Power Outage/RestorationWhen an outage occurs, the meter uses an early power failure signal to alert the communication module to disconnect from the meter's power immediately. The communication module saves critical module data to non-volatile memory and creates and sends a power outage message. This message includes the following information:•LAN ID•Outage time•Reboot countThe communication module sends the message, then assists with routing other packets until the back-up energy source can no longer keep the radio alive.When power is restored, the communication module connects with the network. With network communications restored, the communication module sends a power restoration message that includes details such as: •LAN ID•Outage time•Restoration time•Reboot countThe communication module stores a history of up to the last five power outage and restoration event pairs in the event log. The Host can request this data.NOTE: The module is designed with a high temperature protection feature in which the firmware automatically starts draining the super capacitor responsible for outage notification at 65 degrees Celsius.Standards ComplianceThe Gridstream RF G5 FOCUS AXe module has Smart Utility Network (SUN) 802.15 4G ready hardware.Flash Memory OptionsThe standard hardware configuration for the Gridstream RF G5 FOCUS AXe modules has 4MB flash memory. An 8MB flash memory option is also available.Draft 10.8.14
