INTRODUCTION:
The following document briefly describes the installation of an AMDS iCon
Transceiver equipped power meter. The scope of the document is to describe
how to program the meter after proper installation by trained utility company
technicians or licensed electricians.
THIS METER IS ONLY TO BE INSTALLED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL!
PROCEDURE:
Confirm that the meter has been installed by a qualified entity or individual.
Turn on the hand-held meter-programming device. (The customized
programming device supplied by utility).
Select “Program Electric Meter” when prompted by the meter-programming
device.
Using the wand attached to the meter-programming device, read the bar code on
the front of the power meter (see figure 1 for location). Pass the wand from left
to right over the bar code. A successful read will result in a short beep sound
being generated from the meter-programming device.
After a successful bar code read (i.e. the meter-programming device beeped) the
meter-programming device will prompt the operator to “program device with
magnetic loop”. The magnetic loop is in the wand attached to the meter-
programming device also.
Looking directly at the meter, and mentally superimposing the hands of a clock
on the meter face for reference, place the meter-programming wand at the 3:00
position of the meter face, on the side of the plastic meter cover, touching the
plastic meter cover with the wand. (See photograph below).
Select “Program” on the meter-programming device display. The meter-
programming device will again beep when the meter has been programmed.
Contact your supervisor for confirmation of meter operation.
