6.3 Configuring the ANSI C12-complient Electric Meter
Start the process by selecting Remote Unit Configuration from the DC-2000 Applications
Launcher (see Figure 6-1 and 6-2). If installing a new electric meter select the “$$ANSI”
template. If editing an existing meter, select its remote unit I.D. number from the list.
NOTE: Many of the ANSI screens are automatically filled in after the first
communication between DC-2000 and the ANSI meter. They are for reporting purposes
only and are tagged as “Read-Only” screens (the information cannot be altered). The
user must become familiar with the ANSI device itself to understand the meaning of
each screen.
6.3.1 Site ID Number
This is the most important item on this screen. It defines the Remote Unit ID number of
the ANSI Device. This number must match the number that was specified as the “Slave
Device” number when the DCM-200 was configured (see Figure 6-4).
