Notes about Meter compatability

• The PowerCost Monitor™ can be deployed on over 95% of all meters installed on single family, residential homes in North America.
• It is not intended for commercial meters, apartment or multi-family dwellings, or locations where the meter is >100 feet away from the home.
• The scaling Kh factor of the meter must be between 1.0 and 9.9. Over 95% of all meters in the US are either 7.2 or 1.0.
• ElectroMechanical/Disk Meters with the disk clearly visible still comprise the majority of US meters, and the Power Cost Monitor is compatible with these, with the Kh range above.
• If Automated Meter Reading / Encoder Receiver Transmitter modules are installed, they must not block the frontal view of the black mark on the disk.
• High load/amp service typically requires meters with Kh outside the range above, or meters with no disk visible.
• Commonly supported digital meters:
• CENTRON by Itron (Previously manufactured by Schlumberger)
• GE I-210
• Elster REX
• Sensus iCon
• Disk meters with disk visible and Kh 1.0 – 9.9
• Net meters (when the disk spins in both directions), or digital meters that display power used and supplied back are not compatible as their output is different than standard meters.
• Hybrid meters with a digital module covering an electromechanical meter typically do not have the required output, and are not compatible
