Brief Introduction of

Remote-controlled Prepayment Watt-Hour Meter

 

1. Introduction

Remote control ( RC ) Prepayment system is composed of prepayment watt-hour meter, RC controller, energy dispenser device, and management software. RC controller is a carrier for data exchange between meter and management system. The system could make it easy to control and manage electricity consumption.

The prepayment watt-hour meter has been improved on constantly. It is very popular in China and welcomed by the customers, due to it's advanced design, sound quality, flexible setup, competitive price, and good technical support.

2. Function & Character

The current signal and voltage signal will be sent to a special integrated circuit after sampling and dividing, and then treated by special CPU chips to obtain the pulse signal of frequency positive rated to load consumption power. the pulse signal to be sent to LED, and the value of power passed the meter will be indicated by the speed-ratio of pulse number/kWh. Even the connection is not correct which causes the adverse power; the meter can also be recorded the data correctly.

Point-of- sale terminal set up a customer's file in power sale system software, and initialize the RC controller with the system software, and provide it to the user. The user must pay in advance proper amount of credit amount at point-of- sale terminal in order to use the electricity with the RC controller.

1.
Long-distance digital impulse output, corresponding collection reading system and timely supervision for working statue.
2.
Controlled by the Mircro-PC with Advanced SCM, measured digitally and with smart anti-tampering function (no influence in measurement and keep record if connection is in reserved between input and output wire.
3.
Over-current control; cut the circuit and recovery in 3-5 minutes under the case of that load current is more than 15% of Imax for 10~15 seconds.
4.
Dates are assured completely security, correct and reliable, as RC controller has been multi-encrypted
5.
Both Meter and Power-selling Management System could read the RC card that could re-record the remains, accumulative energy and working status of meter.
6.
Six-digital LED will display the remained and accumulative energy and current power alternately when rate reaches n: 1
7.
The Alarm for over is the indication to input urgently new energy. Overdraw some energy temporarily through RC controller, and meter will flash and display the remains.
8.
Break off automatically as the borrowed energy has been over the allowance ( 100kW h). Be inputted fresh energy and recovery, meanwhile, be reduced the borrowed energy.
9.
That be adopted the magnetism relay is sure the break-off security, little consumption and without pasting among contacts of relay
10.
It keeps data security automatically once power failed, and recovery completely as power back.
11.
Power-selling management system is made up of the PC+RC ED device+Management software .
12.
Meter could work on the base of that only any one of three phases has the electricity
13.
The meters with current of 5(20) A \10(40A)\20(80) A all have been set inside a magnetism relay, which are connected through output and input wire.
14.
The meter with the current of 6A or below regularly should be connected to a current mutual inductor (input the ratio of 1-250 into meter through RC controller), realizing to control AC contactor just like switches
