Landis+Gyr Confidential Information 98-1289 Rev AA 3Elster Multi-Function Meter Module Quick Start GuideOverviewThe Elster Multi-Function Meter Module (MFMM) is designed to provide active energy (Kilo-Watt hour) and reactive energy (Kilo-Var hour) data from Elster Alpha+ (A2) meters for use in residential and industrial commercial services. Figure 1 - 1. Elster Multi-Function Meter ModuleThe meter kit includes:•Elster Multi-Function Meter Module•Elster Alpha+ (A2) MeterDraft 8/23/2013
Elster Multi-Function Meter Module Quick Start Guide Landis+Gyr4 98-1289 Rev AA Landis+Gyr Confidential Information•AntennaRequired SoftwareTo work with the endpoint, you need at least one of the following software tools and documentation:•UtiliNet Solution Center (USC)•Meter Master Lite software•Meter Master Lite Quick Start Guide, publication number 98-0071•Elster ALPHA Plus softwareLandis+Gyr recommends you have RF Verify software and the RF Verify User Guide, publication number 98-0069.LabelsThe endpoint contains the following labels:Figure 2. Label IdentificationTable 1. Elster Label Identification Label Description1 Elster Meter Name Plate AEP compliant bar code that defines meter manufacturer, form, base, test voltage and current, watt-hour constant, serial number, and customer specific information.Manufacturer or customer specified serial numberManufacturer model and style number123Draft 8/23/2013
Landis+Gyr Elster Multi-Function Meter Module Quick Start GuideLandis+Gyr Confidential Information 98-1289 Rev AA 5LAN IDThe LAN ID is a unique identifier for each Landis+Gyr endpoint. Landis+Gyr provides the LAN address. You cannot change the radio’s LAN IDs. Features and FunctionsEndpoint RegistrationThe endpoint is automatically registered with the host system. No special tools are needed during installation.Admin packets are sent once each hour at a random time during the hour and play a crucial role in the automatic discovery of a meter by the Landis+Gyr system. They tell what kind of meter the module interfaces with, and other characteristics, such as the scaling constant, number of dials, and the firmware version.Admin packets include:Communication and Retrieving DataA microprocessor on the communications module (MFMM) reads energy data through the meter’s serial interface and transmits the information to the head end system. Several different packet types are sent.The most frequently sent packet contains the current rotational count and historical interval data that is useful for load profiling and time-of-use metering. Another less frequently sent (Admin) packet contains the current cumulative rotation count, useful for basic automatic meter reading applications. An Admin packet is sent once hourly and contains the information listed in Table 2.2 Landis+Gyr FCC ID Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Identification (ID) number assigned to the Elster Multi-Function Meter Module for use in the Elster Alpha+ meter. 3 Landis+Gyr LAN ID Identifies the Elster Multi-Function Meter Module to the Landis+Gyr billing network (printed and barcoded).Table 1. Elster Label Identification Label DescriptionTable 2. Admin Packet InformationMeter ID Identifies the customerProtocol ID Identifies the type of meter.Scaling Constant Tells how to convert meter readings into real units such as kWhNumber of dials Also referred to as displayed digits.Maximum Sensor Change Rate Tells how much the meter reading can change in a certain period of time.Firmware Version Specifies the firmware revision number.Current Cumulative Reading from the meterDraft 8/23/2013
Elster Multi-Function Meter Module Quick Start Guide Landis+Gyr6 98-1289 Rev AA Landis+Gyr Confidential InformationPower Outage/RestorationThe Multi-Function Meter Module gets Power Fail signal from meter. The communication module saves critical endpoint data to non-volatile memory, creates and sends a configurable number of power fail messages (typically 20) to the host system that include the LAN ID.When power is restored, the communication module (MFMM) sends a Power Up message from Channel 1 and Channel 2, if available, to the host system. This message includes the following information:•LAN ID•Total count•Last ten interval countsCustomer ServiceContact Landis+Gyr Customer Support at solutionsupport.na@landisgyr.com or call 888-390-5733 with any questions or problems for guidance through the troubleshooting process.ComplianceFCC Class BThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the Instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:•Reorient or relocate the antenna.•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.•Consult Landis+Gyr or an experienced radio technician for help.UWARNING: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Landis+Gyr could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.Draft 8/23/2013
