AS230

AS230 - AMI Single Phase Meter

The AS230 multi-tariff residential smart meter offers flexible module communications allowing the meter to interface directly to the utility via a wide area network (WAN) and to connect to a consumer's Home Automation Network (HAN).

A module supports both WAN/LAN and HAN communications. The Module is designed specifically for the application (WAN/LAN- GSM, PLC etc) and may be installed or exchanged without breaking the metrology seals on the meter's main cover.
Local communications are provided via the optical (IEC 62056-21) port. The local port and module port can be used to program the meter and read the meter data. The AS230 records up to 4-channels of load profile data and up to eight channels of instrumentation profile data with independent integration periods. Instrumentation values may be displayed to aid meter commissioning.
The meter provides extensive security features including a programming log with user ID.
Terminal cover and main cover removal detection can be provided as an option. A further option allows the meter contactor to be disconnected remotely using commands via the Module port or locally using the optical port. Power Master Unit Software provides a user-friendly WindowsTM graphical interface for programming the meter and reading meter data.
The Liquid Crystal Display has large characters that can be viewed from a wide angle.
The display sequence is programmable and is supported by three modes of operation, auto-cycle, manual and utility. Displayed information can have English language identifiers or OBIS (Object Identification System) codes. The OBIS codes can be changed using the Power Master Unit.

The meters are approved to:

  • EC Directive 2004/22/EC (MID) - EN 50470-1, EN 50470-3 Class A or Class B
  • IEC 62053-21 accuracy Class 1 or Class 2
  • IEC 62053-23 for kvarh accuracy Class 2 or Class 3
  • The meter has an ingress protection rating of IP53 to IEC 60529

Meters are marked with the European CE mark, in accordance with the Marking Directive 93/68/EEC, to indicate compliance with the requirements of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and Measuring Instruments Directive 2004/22/EC.
The CE Mark does not denote compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, which specifically excludes electricity meters. Safety requirements are listed in specific standards outlined below.
The AS230 complies with the following standards and directives:

MID Standards
EN 50470-1 (General requirements, tests and test conditions, active energy Class A or Class B)
EN 50470-3 (Particular requirements, tests and test conditions, active energy Class A or Class B)
The meter complies with Class M2 Mechanical environment and Class E2 Electromagnetic Environment as defined in the Measuring Instruments Directive 2004/22/EC.

IEC/EN Standards
IEC/EN 62052-11 (General requirements, active energy Class 1 or Class 2)
IEC/EN 62053-21 (Particular requirements, active energy Class 1 or Class 2)
IEC/EN 62053-23 (Particular requirements, reactive energy, Class 2 or Class 3),
IEC/EN 62056-61 (Object Identification System, OBIS)
IEC/EN 60529 (Ingress protection, IP53)

BS/DIN Standards
BS 7856 (BS meter dimensional requirements)
DIN 43857 (Generally to DIN meter dimensional requirements)

Devices for metering and billing electrical energy described in this manual are supplied for use in a ‘Fixed Installation’ only.  Devices described are a ‘component of a system only’ and therefore outside the scope of European Directives 2002/95/EC RoHS (Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical Equipment) and 2002/96/EC WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment).

Approvals
Type approval under the Measuring Instruments Directive has been given by the UK Notified Body following assessment against the standard listed above.
