Chapter 5 Configuring the PM130 PLUS Configuring Billing/TOU
PM130 PLUS Powermeter Series_Installation Operation and Manual 106
5.4 Configuring Billing/TOU
The TOU battery-backed clock unit is highly recommended in case of using time-scheduled tariff rates,
otherwise a long power outage may cause the meter clock to lose time so your tariff counters would not
comply with the calendar schedule.
Billing Energy Registers
The PM130E/EH PLUS has 4 fully programmable billing energy registers that can be linked to any internal
energy source or to an external pulse source that delivers pulses through the meter digital inputs.
Any energy register can provide either a single-tariff energy accumulation or be individually linked to the
TOU system providing both total and multi-tariff energy billing.
Tariff Rates
The meter tariff structure supports 8 different tariff rates using an arbitrary tariff schedule. A total of 4 types
of days and 4 seasons are supported with up to eight tariff changes per day.
Maximum Demand Registers
Any of billing energy registers can be individually linked to the maximum demand register providing the
same demand tariff structure as you selected for energy registers.
Recording Billing Data and Load Profiling
The PM130E/EH PLUS can provide automatic recording of the daily energy and maximum demand profile
to a data log file. Maximum demand profiling can be individually configured for every register.
See Factory Preset Data Log Files in Chapter 5 and Billing Profile Log File in Appendix E for more
information on the file layout and contents.
To configure the billing registers and the tariff system in your meter:
1. Link the billing registers to the respective energy sources.
2. Configure the options for the registers to whether the only totalization or both total and tariff
registers would be used, and whether daily profiling should be enabled for the energy usage and
maximum demand registers.
3. Configure the daily tariff schedule using the TOU daily profiles for all types of days and seasons.
4. Configure the season tariff schedule using the TOU calendar.
