Net Metering
Gridstream RF G5 FOCUS AXe endpoints also support the use of the Landis+Gyr meter for net
metering usage in metrology values with 5-dial reads or greater. 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.).

Time 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) Functionality
With 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.
Figure 1 - 4. ZigBee Communication
Using 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

Endpoint Quick Start Guide
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 Indicator
This 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.
The 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 available
for network communications
For more information on this feature, see “Appendix D. Gridstream RF Network Indicator” in
Landis+Gyr RF Generation 5 (G5) Integrated FOCUS AXe Endpoint User Guide, publication number 98-2411.
Power Outage/Restoration
When 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 count
The 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:

Landis+Gyr
The 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 Compliance
The Gridstream RF G5 FOCUS AXe module has Smart Utility Network (SUN) 802.15 4G ready
hardware.
Flash Memory Options
The standard hardware configuration for the Gridstream RF G5 FOCUS AXe modules has 4MB
flash memory. An 8MB flash memory option is also available.
