MI.NODE – C&I Installation Manual
Rev 1.0 Mueller Systems – Confidential Page 1
1. Introduction
The Mueller Systems MiNODE-CI is intended for indoor & outdoor use as an unattended
automatic metering Infrastructure (AMI) & control device. The SMART METER-CI product
consists of a Mueller Systems AMI MiNODE-CI module fully integrated into a Landis+Gyr C&I
(Commercial & Industrial) solid state electric meter.
The Smart Meter-CI is fully self-contained with no user accessible controls.
The MiNODE-CI interrogates the ANSI C.12 register set in C&I solid-state electric
meters from Landis + Gyr. It’s main function is to obtain energy consumption, negative
consumption, and voltage readings for billing, distribution monitoring, fraud detection,
and conservation purposes.
Meter reading interval is remotely settable. Information retrieved from the meters
registers are temporarily stored within the solid-state memory. On a specified interval, the
MiNODE-CI will automatically transmit this information to the Mueller Systems AMI server
via. other meters or MiGATE using the Radio Frequency (RF) network.
The Mueller Systems AMI server analyzes and archives the readings.
The MiNODE-CI uses SuperCapacitors to support transmission of power failure
messages and to maintain the time of day clock. The Smart Meter does not use any
internal batteries eliminating need for field service.
The contents of this installation manual are intended for technically qualified personnel of
energy distribution utilities who have been trained and are technically qualified in basic
electrical principles, including safety procedures for installation of energy meters.
The installer should refer to the latest edition of the Landis+Gyr “FOCUS kWh Solid-State
Meter Technical Manual” for physical installation, wiring, and safety precautions.
