Manual Conventions Introduction 1-4 Introduction TM-iX0A-0805 Applicable Standards The iCon APX meter meets or exceeds the ANSI standards for commercial and industrial electricity metering. Table 1-1: Applicable Standards ANSI C12.1 – 2001 American National Standard Code for Electricity Metering ANSI C12.13-1991 American National Standard Code for Electronic Time-of-Use Registers for Electricity Meters ANSI C12.18-1996 American National Standard Code for Protocol Specification for ANSI Type 2 Optical Port *ANSI C12.19 - 1997 American National Standard Code for Utility Industry End Device Data Tables *ANSI C12.20 – 2002 American National Standard Code for Electricity Meters 0.2 and 0.5 Accuracy Classes ANSI C12.21-1999 American National Standard Code for Protocol Specification for Telephone Modem Communication ANSI/IEEE C37.90 –1989 IEEE Standard Surge Withstand Capability (SWC) for Protective Relays and Relay Systems * - The iCon™ APX conforms to the standards, however the meters are not governed by them.

Meter Overview iCon APX Meter Version 1.0 Meter Overview 2-1 Chapter 2 iCon APX Meter The iCon™ APX Advanced Functionality Meter continues to use same field-proven Sentec® sensor technology found in the other meters in the iCon family. Accuracy The APX meter is built with a backbone of precision that exceeds ANSI C12.20 standards for accuracy. Reliability The iCon APX meter uses a simple, unique modular design that meets the most stringent performance requirements for revenue billing applications. This construction reduces the number of connections thereby reducing the possibility of false data or metering related problems. Expandability Like the iCon meter, the APX meter employs an open architecture design that allows for easy and cost effective AMR integration. The APX meter was designed with this idea in mind. Tamper Resistance Since there are no moving parts, the APX meter is not vulnerable to the tampering methods (e.g., using magnets, inserting foreign objects into the gears, inverting the meter in the socket) used to affect electromechanical meters.

Meter Overview System Architecture Hardware The basic components of the meter are shown in Figure 2-2. Figure 2-2: iCon APX Meter Components Meter Base Assembly The Meter Base Assembly consists of the Meter Base, the Sensor Board, and related hardware. Figure 2-4 shows the Sensor Board in the Meter Base. There are no field-serviceable parts in the Meter Base Assembly. Figure 2-3: Meter Base Assembly Meter Base The Meter Base is molded from highly durable thermoplastics. It provides a stable platform for the Sensor Board. In addition to the components described in this section, it contains the hangar for mounting the meter, and the T-Bar for meter security. Version 1.0 Meter Overview 2-3

System Architecture Meter Overview 2-6 Meter Overview TM-iX0A-0805 Sensor Board The Sensor Board is a part of the Meter Base Assembly and consists of the sensing circuitry, buss bars, power supply, and connector ports. There are no field serviceable components in the base assembly. The module: • Senses all of the voltages and currents for all phases passing through the meter • Provides the DC power for the rest of the meter • Contains the data of all of the sampled energy and voltages • Supports reading of the sampled data by the Register Display Board • Holds the calibration information stored in EEPROM Buss Bars — The buss bars are conducting blades that carry the load current from the service socket to the load. In self-contained meters, the buss bars provide the voltage inputs to the metrology and provide power to the meter’s internal power supply. Sensing Circuitry — The primary components include a patented linear current sensor and integrated circuitry specifically designed for poly-phase electricity metering. The ADE7758 is a 24-pin, poly-phase, energy measuring, integrated-circuit chip with a serial interface and pulse outputs. This chip measures/calculates the following values: • Active Energy - Wh • Reactive and Apparent Energy – VARh and VAh • RMS Voltages • RMS Currents • Temperature The chip is suitable for three-phase, three-wire and/or three-phase, four-wire Delta or Wye services. This chip stores the measurement samples of each quantity and supports read operations by the Register Display Board. Switching Power Supply — The power supply is a true, three-phase, surge protected, auto-ranging (96 VAC to 576 VAC) power supply. It accepts voltages present at the service socket and provides DC power for the rest of the meter. The power supply functions even with power present on only one phase. Connector Ports — The Connector Ports provide the physical links to the Sensor Board for the Interconnect Board and the Option Cards.

Demand parameters are stored in the meter and control events such as: • The length of the: ▪ Demand Interval ▪ Demand Subinterval ▪ Test Mode Demand Interval ▪ Test Mode Demand Subinterval • Whether or not to use: ▪ Demand Forgiveness ▪ Outage Recognition time ▪ Demand Reset Lockout Period Version 1.0 Meter Overview 2-15

Metering Capabilities Meter Overview 2-16 Meter Overview TM-iX0A-0805 Display Lists The meter maintains up to four (4) display lists. The contents of each list and the order in which items appear is configured using iConFig. Each list item is displayed as the meter scrolls through the list depending upon the meter’s operating Mode. Normal Display List When the meter is in Normal Mode, the Normal Display List is displayed. This list usually contains quantities and data used for customer billing and is the default list displayed when power is restored (unless the Test Lock feature has been activated – see “Test Mode Lock” below). This list is displayed after exiting any of the other modes. In this mode, the meter automatically scrolls through the configured List Items at the configured rate. Alternate Display List When the meter is in Alternate Mode, the Alternate Display List is displayed. This list usually contains information that is not normally used for customer billing (e.g., site surveys, debugging the meter, marketing information, future equipment planning). This list is displayed when the meter is in Normal Mode and the ALT button is pressed or by way of remote commands from iConFig. In this mode, the meter automatically scrolls through the configured List Items at the configured rate. The meter automatically exits Alternate Mode after the configured timeout expires. When the timeout is set to zero (0), it will remain in Alternate Mode until the power is removed. To exit Alternate Mode, press the ALT button again or by way of remote commands using iConFig. Test Display List When the meter is in Test Mode, the Test Display List is displayed. This list usually contains the quantities and data that can be used to verify meter calibration. This list is displayed when the meter is in Normal Mode or Alternate Mode and the TEST button is pressed or using remote commands from iConFig. Upon entering Test Mode, the TST Annunciator on the LCD illuminates, and the meter: • Suspends regular metering • Stores all of the billing data into non-volatile memory • Resets all of the Energy and Demand values to zero (0) In Test Mode, the measured quantities are stored in the Test Mode registers and not in the customer-billing registers. Use the RESET button to set all of the metering and demand quantities in the Test Mode registers back to zero (0) and the ALT button to manually scroll through the items in the Test Display List. The meter automatically exits Test Mode after the configured timeout expires. When the timeout is set to zero (0), it will remain in Test Mode until the power is removed. To exit Test Mode, press the TEST button or use remote commands from iConFig. Upon exiting Test Mode, the customer-billing data is restored.

Meter Overview Metering Capabilities Test Mode Lock This feature allows a utility to run special tests that require the meter to remain in Test Mode even after temporary interruptions in power. When the Test Mode Lock feature has been activated, the meter starts back up (i.e., after power is restored after an outage) in Test Mode provided it is still within its configured timeout period. To activate Test Mode Lock: 1. Ensure the meter is in Normal Mode. Depending on the mode, refer to the appropriate display list paragraph above. 2. Press and hold the TEST button for three (3) seconds. The TST Annunciator will flash On and Off to indicate that the Test Mode Lock feature is active. 3. To exit Test Mode while in Test Mode Lock, press the TEST button again. NOTE: If the Test Lock feature is activated and the timeout period is set to zero (0), the meter will start up and remain in Test Mode indefinitely. Diagnostic Display List When the meter is in Diagnostic Mode, the Diagnostic display list will be presented. This list usually contains per phase instantaneous measurements and information (such as volts, amperes, watts, volt-amperes, volt-amperes reactive, etc.). This information may be useful in troubleshooting wiring problems or verifying that the wiring is correct. While in Diagnostic Mode, the meter continues to measure and store usage data in the billing registers. To enter Diagnostic Mode, pass a magnet over the side of the meter as shown in Figure 2-14..

Operation Hardware Setup Version 1.0 Operation 3-1 Chapter 3 The iCon™ APX Advanced Functionality Meter is configured using the iConFig™ application. This chapter provides brief descriptions of the Modules used to configure the meter. Refer to iConFig Start-up and User’s Guide for instructions on configuring the meter. Hardware Setup The information in this section is not intended to provide instructions to unqualified personnel nor replace the extensive training needed to safely handle the metering equipment. The set-up of all meters shall be accomplished by qualified electricians and metering specialists. The procedures described in this section are recommended for new or upgraded meters. After setting up the meters, it may be necessary to program/reprogram and/or calibrate the meter. The set-up of all meters shall be accomplished by qualified electricians and metering specialists. All Meters In order to insure security, the meters are protected by two seals. • A T-Bar Seal that goes on the back of the meter • Demand Reset Seal that secures the RESET/ALT Lever. After set-up is complete, seal the meters.

Hardware Setup Operation 3-2 Operation TM-iX0A-0805 Self-Contained Meters Some self-contained meters have Phantom Load links on the bottom of the Meter Base Assembly. Ensure the links are all up and secured with the screws. Figure 3-1: Phantom Load Links (closed) Calibration Check Do not permit unauthorized personnel to operate meter-testing equipment or to test meters. Hazardous voltages can be present, exposing personnel to the risk of death or serious injury, and exposing equipment to the risk of damage. Only authorized, trained personnel may operate the meter-testing equipment, using approved test procedures and safety precautions. Depending on the meter form and the particular requirements of the test board, you may have to first ‘open’ the Phantom Load Links. To perform a calibration check: 1. Loosen the two screws on each link. 2. Open the Phantom load links by: a. Loosening all of the screws on each link b. Sliding the links down until they stop 3. Re-tighten the lower screws enough to prevent any link from moving. 4. Install the meter into your test board. 5. In the controlling software for your test board, choose the appropriate meter form (Form 9 or Form 16). 6. Perform the calibration check.

Operation Hardware Setup After completing the calibration check: 1. Remove the meter from the test board. 2. Close the Phantom Load links by: a. Loosening the lower screws on each link b. Sliding the links up until they stop 3. Securely tighten all of the screws to prevent the slides from moving. Testing To interface with test equipment, the meter generates test pulses. The energy value assigned to each test pulse is defined as the meter Kh and can be configured to value that is a multiple of 0.2. Meter Default Kh Range (Wh/Pulse) Form 9 1.8 Wh/pulse 0.2 to 40.8 Form 16 21.6 Wh/pulse 0.2 to 99.8 The test pulse output is compatible with all ANSI-rated laboratory and field test equipment and is transmitted through the Infrared (IR) Test Pulse LED. When aligning the optical pick-up in front of the IR Test Pulse LED. Position the pick-up so that it is perpendicular to the IR Test Pulse LED. See Figure 3-2. Figure 3-2: Location of the Infrared Test Pulse LED Version 1.0 Operation 3-3

Hardware Setup Operation 3-4 Operation TM-iX0A-0805 IR Test Pulse LED Background The iCon APX meter contains a Metering Chip that is used for the measurement of energy (voltage * current). The test pulse signal is based on an output from this chip. This signal is routed up through the display board to the Infrared (IR) LED in the optical port on the face of the meter. The meter controls the function of the IR LED. When the meter detects communication activity on the sensor portion of the optical port, it stops the IR LED from sending test pulses and switches it for use as a transmitter. Once communication has ended, the meter reverts the IR LED back to a test-pulse output. To allow the meter to properly detect the service and restore all its billing and status registers, a start-up delay of seven (7) seconds is required at the beginning of each meter test operation. Setting the Start-up Delay Below are instructions on how to set the start-up delay on the following test boards: • WECO • UTEC/RFL If you are using a test board not identified above, please contact Sensus Metering Systems to have it added to this document for other’s benefit. WECO – Windows software 1. Execute the Winboard software. 2. Close the Winboard – Meter Testing window if open. 3. Enter the Winboard-Administration window. 4. Select the Administration menu. 5. Select Workstation Settings. 6. Select the Station 1 tab. 7. Set the Standard Settling Time to 7 seconds (with other settling times, this will result in a delay time of approximately 10 seconds overall). 8. Select Save then Close. 9. If you have problems changing this in the WECO software, call 601-933-0900. WECO – DOS software 1. Execute the DOS software. 2. Press the F8 function key for the Setup menu. 3. Set the KWH Test Dwell Time field to 7 seconds (with other settling times, this will result in a delay time of approximately 10 seconds overall). 4. Press the F1 function key to save and return. 5. If you have problems changing this in the WECO software, call 601-933-0900.

Operation Hardware Setup UTEC/RFL – Windows software 1. Enter Syslink DB Maintenance. 2. Enter Meter Test under Testset Group. 3. Select Testset. 4. Edit SubTest. 5. Enter Testpoint screen. 6. Select Testpoint to edit. 7. Change Stabilization Delay to 10 seconds. 8. Save changes. 9. If you have problems changing this in the UTEC software, call 800-952-8832. UTEC/RFL – DOS software The UTEC/RFL DOS software does not have a provision for a delay time. The test starts with the first test pulse the test board receives after voltage and current are applied to the meter. As a result, spurious results may occur when using this test board to test the iCon 12S meter. Display Board Check After applying power to the meter, ensure the LCD is active and displaying meter information based upon the configured display modes. Test Mode The purpose of Test Mode is to allow you to verification the calibration of the meter without losing any customer billing data. Also, the Demand Interval for Test Mode can be shorter than for other modes allowing you to check the Demand measurement within the meter much faster. Refer to the iConFig Start-up and User’s Guide for information on configuring Display Modules and Demand Modules. To put the meter in Test Mode using the TEST button: 1. Remove the Meter Cover. Refer to “Removing the Meter Cover” in Chapter 4. 2. Press the TEST button. It is also possible to put the meter into Test Mode using iConFig. Upon entering Test Mode: • A “snapshot” of all of the customer-billing data is taken and stored in separate locations. Test billing data and test data are not applied to the customer’s billing data while the meter is in Test Mode. • The TST Annunciator illuminates. • The first item in the Test Mode Display List is shown on the LCD. To scroll through the items in the Display List, press and release the ALT button. When you reach the last item and press the ALT button, the meter will recycle to first item in the Display List. Version 1.0 Operation 3-5

Installation Operation 3-6 Operation TM-iX0A-0805 Test Mode Operation While the meter is in Display Mode, the Test Pulse correlates to the energy value that is visible on the LCD. NOTE: If the Display List item does not have an energy reading, the Test Pulse will correlate to the kWh present at the meter. Example: If the item on the Display List is kWh delivered, the Test Pulse will correspond to the kWh presently going through the meter. When you press and release the ALT button and the next item on the Display List is kVAR hours, the Test Pulse will correspond to the kVAR hours. The Test Pulse constant (Kt) in Test Mode can be different than the constant (Kh) that is used in Normal, Alternate, and Site Diagnostic Modes. Test Lock To put the meter into Test Lock from Normal Mode, press and hold the TEST button [approximately three (3) seconds] until the TST Annunciator flashes. While in Test Lock, the TST Annunciator will flash. In Test Lock the meter remains in Test Mode for the amount of time configured in the Test Mode Timeout period, even if power is cycled during that time. If the Test Mode Timeout period is set to zero (0), the meter will remain in Test Lock indefinitely. Regardless of whether the meter is in Test Mode or Test Lock, pressing the Test button a second time causes the meter to revert back to Normal Mode. When exiting Test Mode, all previously stored customer-billing data from the “snapshot” is restored to the billing registers and the meter returns to Normal Mode. Reset Button It is possible to reset the energy and Demand values in the Test Mode registers without having to cycle the meter through different modes. While in Test Mode, press and release the RESET button to reset the Test Mode registers. Installation The APX meter is designed to be compatible with the mechanical form factor of existing electromechanical, commercial meters. This design allows technicians and trained meter personnel to perform meter installations easily and without the use of specialized tools. To install the meter, follow the procedures established by your company for standard commercial meters. Should the meter be configured to monitor for diagnostic errors, it may be necessary for the technician to observe the meter for several minutes to ensure no error messages appear. Refer to “

Operation Installation Diagnostics and Alarms” below. Meter Power-Up NOTE: If the meter was in Test Lock or the Test Mode timeout period had not expired, the LCD will display the last item that was shown on the LCD at the time power was removed. After installing the meter into a socket and applying power, the meter should boot up and start cycling through the Normal Display List unless: • The meter was powered down while in Test Lock • The Test Mode Timeout Period has not expired. In addition to the boot-up items discussed in this section, additional settings can be configured using iConFig. NOTE: If the meter was in service prior to powering down, meter and billing data is automatically stored. During power-up, the meter retrieves the stored data. After power is applied to the meter, the meter: • Determines the service type ▪ Wye ▪ Delta • Determines the phase rotation ▪ A, B, C ▪ C, B, A • Detects any missing voltages • Verifies the service voltages ▪ Phase-to-Neutral o 120 o 240 o 277 ▪ Phase-to-Phase o 208 o 480 NOTE: If the meter detects phase angle errors, the meter runs industry-standard diagnostics (see “Diagnostics and Alarms” below) • Verifies the phase angles are correct for the service type (variances can be configured with iConFig).

Configuring APX Meters Operation 3-10 Operation TM-iX0A-0805 Diagnostics and Alarms The meter can be configured to monitor or ignore certain internal conditions and to display alarm codes should any of those condition be detected. The following items can be configured: • The conditions to monitor • The threshold levels • How long a condition must exist before the meter issues an alarm • To perform any of the following actions should a monitored condition occur: ▪ Lock the display with the error code, or add the code to the Normal Display List ▪ Add an entry to the History Log ▪ Send a message through a communications module (if installed) ▪ Close a relay (if installed) NOTE: Any time changes are made to the alarm settings, use iConFig to clear all alarms and status bits. Industry Standard Diagnostics This section discusses the standard diagnostics that, when configured, are tested by the meter every ten (10) seconds. If any one diagnostic fails six (6) consecutive times, the meter considers the diagnostic to have failed. Refer to iConFig Set-up and User’s Guide for more information. A failed diagnostic must pass six (6) consecutive times before the meter considers the diagnostic to have passed. Diagnostic 1 Polarity and Cross Phase Check tests for the proper phase relationships of each of the voltages with respect to phase A voltage. This diagnostic checks for faulty site wiring. The nominal values are based on the “type” of meter, and can be overridden. Diagnostic 2 Phase Voltage Deviation Check compares each phase against the “nominal” phase voltage. Diagnostic 3 Inactive Phase Current Check checks the current amplitudes against a configured. Diagnostic 4 Phase Angle Displacement Check verifies that the power factor for each phase is within the limits (measured in degrees) for each phase for maximum lag and maximum lead. This diagnostic is not performed if a phase voltage is missing or Diagnostic 3 fails. Diagnostic 6 Current Magnitude Imbalance Check checks for the relative amplitude of the phase currents and compares each current to the average of all enabled currents. Diagnostic 7 Energy Direction Check fails if any enabled, phase energy flow is negative (received power).

Servicing the iCon APX Meter Meter Communication Version 1.0 Servicing the iCon APX Meter 4-1 Chapter 4 This section provides brief descriptions and procedures for: • Communicating with the meter • Programming the meter (firmware) • Resetting the meter • Replacing meter components Meter Communication Linking with meter is accomplished by various means. This section provides brief descriptions of the means to communicate with APX meters for data transfer, programming and configuring, and meter updates. To communicate with APX meters, use an ANSI Type 2 optical probe with any of the equipment listed below. • Laptop or Work Station with a Microsoft Windows operating system and loaded with iConFig or some other software for communicating with electricity meters • A supported hand-held device used to read billing information from meters. Infrared Port The infrared port was designed to accept an ANSI C12.18 Type 2 optical probe. The port can communicate up to speeds of 19200 bps, and complies with the protocol specified in the ANSI C12.18-1996 standard. Remote Communications Installing an optional AMR Module enables remote meter communications. For more information, refer to the documentation that came with the AMR Module. Updating the Firmware The firmware is stored in flash memory and can be easily loaded into the meter through its optical port. If it becomes necessary to update the meter’s firmware, Sensus Metering strongly recommends that all billing and meter data be backed up prior to the installation process. To update the meter’s firmware, an Action can be created and executed using iConFig. Refer to iConFig Start-up and User’s Guide for instructions on performing a firmware upgrade. Resetting the Meter It may be necessary to reset the meter: • In the event that a meter is malfunctioning or fails to perform as programmed and/or configured • After removing a meter from service (depending on the standard procedures of the utility)

Troubleshooting Servicing the iCon APX Meter 4-2 Servicing the iCon APX Meter TM-iX0A-0805 NOTE: Performing a Cold Start clears all of the customer data registers. Ensure all customer data is downloaded and stored prior to performing a Cold Start. Failure to observe this note will result in permanent data loss. A Cold Start restores the meter to factory default settings. All configuration settings as well as billing, status, and history data will be lost. Some meters come from the factory pre-programmed and performing a Cold Start is not required. Should your company policy require it, perform a Cold Start prior to configuring and installation. A Cold Start can be performed in either of the following ways: • Press and hold the three buttons on the face of the meter (TEST, RESET, and ALT), and then apply power to the socket. • Use iConFig to perform a Cold Start. Refer to iConFig Start-up and User’s Guide for instructions on performing a Cold Start. Upon recognizing a ‘Cold Start’, the meter will commence erasing all data. During this process, the LCD will display ErASE and a series of incrementing numbers. At the end of the process, the meter will restore the factory default settings and automatically perform a ‘Warm Start’. Troubleshooting Troubleshooting iCon™ APX meters can consist of performing a visual check, installation check, shop testing, and display board checks. Visual Check Do not apply power to a meter that may have been damaged or may otherwise be defective. Arcing, fire, or explosion may occur, and noxious gases can be generated. Failure to observe this warning exposes personnel to the risk of death or serious injury, and can destroy or cause additional damage to the unit. Check for missing seals, tampering, or any physical damage to the outside of the unit before applying power to the socket. If any damage is visible, perform a more detailed inspection by partially disassembling the meter (refer to “Removing the Register Cover”). Carefully inspect the internal components for: • Signs of excessive heat or burning • Hardware that appears to be missing or damaged Contact your sales representative to report meters that are damaged or that you suspect may be defective. Otherwise re-assemble the meter before proceeding with any tests.

Servicing the iCon APX Meter Troubleshooting Installation Check The most common cause of incorrect data registration is incorrect installation or the installation of the meter in an application other than its intended application. Other areas to check are as follows: • Is the meter installed in a poly-phase, Form 8 or 9 socket (transformer rated models) or a Form 14, 15, 16, or 17 socket (self contained models)? • Does the service voltage fall within the voltage range listed on the nameplate? • Is the T-Bar Seal and/or Demand Reset Seal broken or missing? This indicates possible tampering; report the incident in accordance with your company’s reporting procedures. • Is there evidence of mechanical or electrical damage? • Where fitted, check the phantom load slides to ensure: ▪ The slides are all in the closed position. ▪ The hold-down screws are all securely tightened. Shop Testing The meter does not require adjustments outside of the factory. To verify the meter is operating within factory specifications, verify its calibration using your meter shop’s procedures for testing poly-phase meters. Do not permit unauthorized personnel to operate meter-testing equipment or to test meters. Hazardous voltages are present, exposing personnel to the risk of death or serious injury, and exposing equipment to the risk of damage. Only authorized, trained personnel may operate the meter-testing equipment, using approved test procedures and safety precautions. For information on using an optical pick-up to monitor test pulses, refer to “Test Pulse Kh Outputs” in Configuration (Chapter 3). Diagnostic Checks The meter can run Diagnostic Checks as follows: • Every 10 seconds (except during a power outage) • Advanced Diagnostic Alarms depend on the Minimum Service Duration setting and are monitored constantly The specific items that are tested are described below. Before the meter indicates a Diagnostic Check failure, it must fail for one minute (six consecutive tests). Likewise, once a Diagnostic Check has failed, the meter must pass for one minute for a failure to clear. This process prevents erroneous failures based on short-term load fluctuations.

Theory of Operation Metrology Version 1.0 Theory of Operation 5-1 Chapter 5 This chapter describes the theory of operation for the iCon™ APX Advanced Functionality meter. Figure 5-1 supplements the information contained in this section. Figure 5-1: APX Meter Operational Overview Metrology The APX meter performs certain operations on the power present at the socket to provide accurate measurements. Metrology for power consumption consists of: • Sensors • Input • Power Calculations • Data Transfer Sensors The APX meter contains a current and voltage sensors for power measurement. Current Sensor Current is measured using proprietary Sentec® technology. There is one sensor for each phase, and these sensors interface with the Metering Chip by means of three precision amplifiers.

Metrology Theory of Operation 5-2 Theory of Operation TM-iX0A-0805 Voltage Sensor Voltage on each phase is measured using a precision-resistive-divider that is designed to maintain a highly stable division ratio over temperature, humidity, and time. The signals from the divider feed into the Metering Chip. Inputs The two types of meter data are: • Real-time values (instantaneous), such as per-phase voltages and currents • Accumulated values, such as kWh Depending on meter form, up to six inputs (Va, Vb, Vc, Ia, Ib, and Ic) are simultaneously sampled at a rate of 26k samples/second at 24-bit resolution. The sample streams: • Are filtered • Corrected for gain and offset • Serve as the real-time values for the calculations of per-phase and poly-phase energy (Wh, VARh, and VAh) The calculated energy values are accumulated in the designated energy registers, and are used to generate the test pulse signals. The Kh (configured through iConFig) setting controls the weight of each pulse. The test pulse signals are routed to the IR Test Pulse LED under the control of the main microprocessor. Power Calculations The real-time and accumulated values are used in the calculations to determine: • Watts and Watt-hours • kVA and kVAR Watts and Watt-Hours The Metering Chip multiplies the real-time values of current and voltage to calculate power (kW), and accumulates kW over time as energy (kWh). This calculation includes digital calibration factors to ensure that the registration of the meter is kept within specified tolerances. The raw energy values for each individual phase are transmitted by digital serial interface to the Register Display Board. The interface also carries information on the RMS current and voltage for each phase. The values are interrogated by the Register Display Board at least once per line cycle.

Theory of Operation Demand Metering Sliding Sliding (Rolling) Demand is where intervals are divided into a fixed number of subintervals. Demand calculations are performed at the end of each subinterval instead of at the end of each interval. As in Block Demand, the interval length must be a factor of 60. The subinterval length must be a factor of the interval. Figure 5-2 is an example of an interval of 30 minutes with 10-minute subintervals. Demand is calculated every 10 minutes based upon the three previous subintervals. Figure 5-2: Sliding Demand Interval Peak Peak Demand is stored as part of the billing quantities in the billing registers. It is the maximum calculated Demand since the last Demand Reset. Cumulative Cumulative Demand is stored as part of the billing quantities in the billing registers. It is the sum of the previous billing period peak Demand readings. At the time of a Demand Reset, the maximum Demand for the most recent billing period is added to the previously accumulated total of all maximum Demands. Continuous Cumulative Continuous Cumulative Demand is stored as part of the billing quantities in the billing registers. It is the sum of the previous billing period peak Demands and the present period peak Demand. Demand Reset When the meter performs a Demand Reset, the meter: • Adds the present Demand values to the Previous Demand register • Resets the intervals back to the beginning • Resets the Demand registers to zero (0) Version 1.0 Theory of Operation 5-5

Demand Metering Theory of Operation 5-6 Theory of Operation TM-iX0A-0805 Outage Recognition The meter can detect temporary interruptions in service. For Demand calculations, meters without Real-Time-Clocks (RTCs) “recognize” all interruptions in service as outages. Meters with RTCs can be configured to only “recognize” outages if they last more than the configured number of seconds. The Outage Recognition Time is configurable using iConFig. Demand Forgiveness Time Demand Forgiveness Time is the configured amount of time immediately following a recognized power outage that Demand calculations are suspended. The Demand Forgiveness Time is configurable using iConFig. Self Read During a Self Read, the meter captures the current billing data and then stores it in the associated Self Read registers. Self Reads are events that can be configured to be: • Scheduled to occur at specific times or intervals • Performed when other events occur (i.e., during a Demand Reset) • Performed when triggered by an external command Coincident Values Coincident demand refers to a demand value that occurs at the same time as another demand reaches its peak value. For example, an electric utility may want to record the kVAR demand at the time of a maximum kW demand. This requires that kVAR demand be stored and reported during the same interval as the maximum kW demand. Similarly, coincident power factor refers to a power factor that occurs at the same time as a demand value reaches its peak value. For example, an electric utility may want to record the average power actor at the time of a maximum kVAR demand. This requires the average power factor be stored and reported during the same interval as the maximum kVAR demand. Primary/Secondary Metering Primary Metering applies to transformer rated meters. Measured energy values are scaled according to the current transformer (CT) and primary transformer (PT) ratios of the current and/or voltage transformers connected to the meter. The resultant values reflect the energy as if the meter was on the primary side of the transformers. With Secondary Metering, the energy values are not scaled (i.e., the actual energy flowing through the meter is measured).
