Demand Reset is determined by taking the difference of the peak demand value between the current
time and the time of the last Demand Reset.
The purpose of the Demand Reset is to capture peak demand values and the times at which those
values were recorded since the last time the Demand Reset procedure was executed. The Demand
Reset takes a snapshot of the current instantaneous values, along with the demand readings, and
stores that information in a holding place on the endpoint. As part of this process, the five highest
demand readings are reset to zero.
NOTE: The program administrator can provide the key required to enable and configure Demand
Reset features.
The Demand Reset action can only be activated after the Meter Configuration report has been
retrieved. Select (click the checkbox beside) the Meter Configuration report option and click the
Generate Report button. Once this report is obtained, the Demand Reset button will be enabled.
Enabling Demand Reset
To enable the Demand Reset feature, you must use Windows Notepad (or your preferred text editor)
to add a special key (provided by your Landis+Gyr Program Advisor) to the Settings.XML file
located at:
• C:\ProgramData\Landis+Gyr\Gridstream\Tool Settings\Settings.XML on computers using
either the Vista or Win7 operating systems.
• C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Landis+Gyr\Gridstream\Tool
Settings\Settings.XML on computers using the WinXP operating system.
Demand Reset Lockout
The Demand Reset feature is limited by the lockout window parameter. The lockout window is a
safety feature to ensure that Demand Reset data will not be lost by accidentally executing too many
demand resets.
Some meters have a meter-enforced lockout period. During this lockout period, the meter will return
an error code and no Demand Reset will be performed.
By default, the Demand Reset lockout window is set to 24 hours. If a different value is preferred,
locate the Demand Reset Lockout parameter in the Settings file mentioned above and change the
number to set the hour value for the desired Demand Reset lockout window parameter.
Performing a Demand Reset
Clicking the Demand Reset button on the Reports tab launches a Demand Reset action. The Activity
Log will display Waiting for Demand Reset Response, followed by progressive communication
events.
For a successful action, Demand Reset response received and then Demand Reset Status: Success
will display in the ETM Activity Log.
