9.12. Any abnormal states, events and alarms shall be recorded in the logs of the meter
and displayed (blinking repeatedly) on the LCD within maximum one (1) minute
(3 second for top and terminal cover open) after the state change of abnormal
state, events and alarms mentioned Supplementary OBIS CODE. If the source
of the abnormal states is removed, then the blinking states shall be stopped and
cleared from the LCD Display. (The events of top cover opened and terminal
block cover opened shall be recorded immediately).
9.13. Auto Registration by pushing the meter identification data
The meter shall support the auto registration function. In the auto registration
function, when the meter is installed, i.e. power on, the meter shall send a PUSH
message including the meter identification data to a DLMS/COSEM client, e.g.
Gateway, DCU, HES, etc., so that the client can check if the meter is already
registered in the client or not. An approach based on a PULL-option is acceptable
provided it does not require a manual trigger.
If the meter does not receive the acknowledgement message from the DLMS
client within a predefined repetition_delay (default: five (5) seconds), the meter
shall retry the message transmission up to a predefined number_of_retries
(default: three (3)). If the meter identification data is determined to be new by
the DLMS client, the client can register the newly installed meter based on the
transmitted meter identification data. The default values related to
Page 49 / 86

The meter shall have the functionality of resetting the password for each access
rights, i.e. Association 1~5, on user’s loss of the passwords. The specific process
and method for resetting the passwords shall be prepared and submitted for
COMPANY approval.
9.16. CT open and CT by-pass detection
The meter shall provide the CT Open and CT by-pass detection function,
implemented by different methods by the manufacturer, by which the meter can
detect an event when at least one phase of CTs is Open or by-pass. The CT Open
and CT by-pass events shall be detected in the meter and the events shall be
notified to the AMI Server immediately to avoid possible revenue loss of
COMPANY. CT Open and CT by-pass detection function shall be configurable
as disabled/enabled.
9.17. Total Harmonics Distortion (THD, %)
9.17.1. The meter shall measure instantaneous THDs for voltage, current, phase
difference (voltage / current) per phase.Meter should comply with IEC
61000-4-7
9.17.2. The meter shall record the latest 288 THDs (or the latest 3 days) of
average voltages, average currents and instantaneous voltages per each
phase. The recording period shall be 1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 minutes
(default: 15, configurable). When the storage is full, the new data shall
overwrite the oldest stored data.
9.17.3. If THD recording period for average voltages, currents and
instantaneous voltage THDs is changed, the values just prior to the
change shall be generated and recorded.
9.17.4. Here, the average voltage per phase means phase-to-phase voltage.
Voltage THD is the instantaneous voltage measurement value for one
(10) second period just prior to the recording.
