Meter Hardware Clause Samples
The Meter Hardware clause defines the responsibilities and terms related to the physical devices used to measure utility consumption, such as electricity, water, or gas meters. It typically specifies which party is responsible for providing, installing, maintaining, and replacing the meter hardware, and may address issues like ownership, access for inspection, and standards for accuracy. By clearly outlining these obligations, the clause helps prevent disputes over meter functionality and ensures accurate measurement and billing for utility usage.
Meter Hardware. 4.1. A push button for reading the display manually must be provided. As mentioned in Item (3.13).
4.2. The meter shall have the facility to be read even if the power is not present.
4.3. The Non-volatile memory minimum retention time shall not be less than 20 Years which has to be confirmed by an official certificate. And the memory shall be replaceable and compatible with a slot (adapter) provided by supplier, so that the memory can be read externally in case of meter failure or damaging.
4.4. The battery shall be changeable easily (inside sealed cover) and the lifetime shall not be less than 15 years which has to be approved. And the meter shall continue to operate even if the battery is lost for any reasons. The battery should not be used if the meter is connected to power.
4.5. The lifetime of the offered meter has to be not less than (20 years) which has to be confirmed by an official certificate.
4.6. The lifetime of the offered LCD has to be not less than (20 years) which has to be confirmed by official certificate.
4.7. During the meter lifetime it doesn’t require any calibration or maintenance, stability of meter accuracy should be guaranteed. The lifetime of the meter has to be confirmed by an official organization. A certificate to this effect has to be provided.
4.8. The meter shall be equipped with four LED’s:
4.8.1. Active Energy Impulse LED for meter testing, and the meter constant shall be in from of impulse/ KWh. And this LED should have not less than 2 cm from any other LED.
4.8.2. Reactive Energy Impulse LED for meter testing, and the meter constant shall be in from of impulse/ KVARh. And this LED should have not less than 2 cm from any other LED.
4.8.3. Alarm LED: the description is in point 7.0.
4.8.4. Power and Relay LED: the description is in point 10.0.
4.9. The meters shall not generate waves or harmonics which might affect the neighboring electrical instruments or super imposed on power lines and shall not be affected by power failure that may prevent control of the meters.
4.10. The meter shall have a case which provides an ingress protection rating of IP54 in accordance with IEC 60529:1989 with extended terminal cover having rigid and homogeneous thickness without knock out grooves (weak areas) to prevent access to the feeding wires.
