Meter Configuration Support
Consult Landis+Gyr 1132COM/1132Prog documentation or contact your Landis+Gyr distributor for
details on programming the Landis+Gyr meter.
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.
