Description
A changing meter for a changing market
The S4e maintains its flexibility with a FLASH technology programmable microprocessor. Field re-probrammability via the ANSI standard type II optical port preserves your investment with the evolving requirements of the ANSI protocol, and changing demands of the market. The S4e incorporates 128k of on-board memory storage for load profile, self-reads and event logs providing an easy upgrade path without the need for an additional option board. Load profile can be configured for up to 15 channels of information from a choice of 24 different storage metrics.
The build-a-meter concept provides modular growth in the S4e with software upgrades for time of use, reactive energy metering, transformer lkoss compensation, load profile as well as the flexibility of adding any combination of communication and relay option boards.
The S4e is an ‘AMI friendly’ meter with the largest space under the cover for AMI integration. A wide range of modular and integrated communication options are currently available, either factory installed or for retrofit. Technologies include power line carrier, mesh network, digital cellular, RS-232, RS-485 and the advanced modem.
