5.4.3 Configuring the Season Tariff Schedule
To configure your season tariff schedule, select Energy/TOU from the Meter Setup menu, and then click
on the TOU Calendar tab.
Figure 5-17: TOU Calendar Setup Dialog Box – TOU Calendar Tab
The meter TOU calendar allows you to configure any tariff schedule based on any possible utility
regulation. The calendar provides 32 entries that allow you to specify profiles for working days and holidays
through all seasons in any order that is convenient for you, based on simple intuitive rules.
To configure your season tariff schedule:
1. In the Season/Period box, select the season, and in the Day Type box, select a day type for this
calendar entry.
2. Define the time interval when this daily tariff schedule is effective, based on the start and end
weekdays and, for a multi-season schedule, on the start and end month for the selected season.
It does not matter which order of weekdays or months you select: the meter recognizes the correct
order.
3. For exception days like weekends and designated holidays, define a specific day either by a
month and a month day, or by selecting a month, a week and a weekday within the month.
There are no limitations on how to build your schedule. A common recommendation is to use minimum
time constraints and only when it is needed to avoid ambiguity. You need not to define month days if a
daily schedule is effective all days of the month, or to define the start and end months if it is effective
through all the year. If you wish to define a specific period within a month using the start and end days, put
this entry before allocating the remaining days to another daily schedule without specified month days, so
it would be checked first for a match.
The above picture shows a typical single-season tariff schedule with two daily tariff profiles configured for
working days, and weekends and the designated U.S.A. holidays.
