iCon™ Form 2S and Form 12S Meters Physical Description
The Data Display is the set of large digits on the LCD screen that shows the data
quantities of the selected modes. Typically, the Total kWh is displayed in whole
numbers using five digits. Decimal resolution may be selected at time of order. Refer
to Error! Reference source not found., starting on page Error! Bookmark not
defined., for details on the Error and Alternate Display Mode options. During a power
outage, the display screen will not be active, however, all data is preserved in non-
volatile memory.
If enabled, Power Flow Indicators, the arrows to the upper right of the data display,
indicate the direction of the power flow, as shown in the following table. In the event
that power drops below the preset threshold of 25 watts neither arrow will be
displayed.
Normal flow.
This arrow indicates that the meter has detected delivered or positive energy that
was supplied to the customer from the distribution system.
Reverse flow.
This arrow indicates that the meter has detected received or negative energy that the
customer has supplied to the distribution system.
The enunciator above the power-flow indicators, the Voltage Indicator, appears
when sufficient AC volts are detected to ensure reliable operation of the meter. At
lower voltages, meter operation may continue. The voltage indicator is not visible if
the meter has encountered an error condition or is in alternate display mode, if these
display modes were selected at time of order.
If enabled, the Disc Simulator is an 8-segment bar that runs under the Data Display
and Voltage Indicator. In normal operating conditions, the Disc Simulator runs from
left to right, and increments once every watt-hour. In reverse power conditions, it runs
from right to left.
Register Cover
The Register Cover is an opaque shield that protects the meter’s internal boards from
external tampering and serves as the mounting surface for the nameplate. With the
exception of the LCD screen and test LED, no internal components can be viewed
through the Register Cover.
Nameplate
The meter’s nameplate, which is compliant with ANSI C12.10 – 1997, includes a
unique, factory-generated bar code that can be used in a billing database.
Meter Cover
The Meter Cover of each iCon™ meter unit is a transparent polycarbonate enclosure
that is interchangeable, abrasion resistant, and contains UV inhibitors to prevent
discoloration. This single-piece assembly locks with the Base Assembly to fully
enclose the meter and protect the internal components from weather, the forces
applied during installation and extraction, and the impact from a fall of up to five feet.
After final calibration at the factory, the Meter Cover and Base Assembly are sealed
with a T-bar, which will provide evidence of tampering.
