Rail-mounted split prepayment meter
The Cashpower Power-Rail is a single-phase 60A (80A optional) split meter in a DIN rail-mount housing. Ideal for new reticulation where housing is informal and the prepayment meters are mounted in a pole-top enclosure with respective customer interface units conveniently mounted in the dwellings below. Due to the small size and DIN rail housing, multiple Power-Rail meters can be mounted in a small enclosure thereby making installation cost-effective.
??
Split meter concept
The Cashpower Power-Rail consists of two parts: the Customer Interface Unit and the Meter.??The Customer Interface Unit is a compact unit with a user-friendly display and keypad that can be installed in any convenient location inside the consumer???s premises. Connection to the remotely installed meter is via a pair of communications wires. The connection of these wires at the meter is achieved by means of a plug-in connector, facilitating easy installation and maintenance.
??
The meter contains all critical metering, number decryption and load control functionality. It operates independently of the customer interface unit and is immune to any form of tampering on the customer interface.
