Issue:
End user would like to know more about revenue metering and how the PM8000 series can assist with it.

Product:
PM8000 Series

Environment:
Revenue Metering

Resolution:
The main purpose of a revenue meter is to provide measurements that are within industry-accepted limits for accuracy over a defined range of operating conditions. It also provides adequate protection against unauthorized alteration of these measured quantities. International and national standards define industry accepted accuracy limits. National and utility-based standards regulate protection against unauthorized alteration of measured quantities.

Components of revenue metering:
To meet government regulations and utility security requirements, the meter incorporates the three following types of security systems:

1. Traditional anti-tamper mechanical seals on the meter
2. A password-based security system for resetting meter values (for example,Peak Demand reset)
3. A hardware-based security system that prevents modification of revenue quantities after the meter is locked
