Meter Security

Security features depend on the meter ordering options. See below.

All ION8800 meters

Standard security includes traditional anti-tamper mechanical sealing points on the meter case and cover.

ION8800 meters with Hardware Locked Security Option

Standard security plus a hardware-locked security system that prevents modification of revenue quantities after the meter is sealed.

Hardware Locked Security Option

To make configuration changes to billing parameters on a hardware-locked meter, you must first unlock the meter. The Meter Lock setting is located in the ALT Config menu, which is reached by pressing the ALT Config button under the anti-tamper sealed cover (see “ALT Config Button” on page 7). This button cannot be activated remotely with a Hardware Lock meter.

Typical values that are protected include:

‹kWh, kvarh, kVAh delivered, received, del-rec, del+rec.

‹kW, kvar, kVA and Sliding Window demand min and max values.

‹Digital Outputs controlling the energy pulsing applications.

‹All Power system settings, including PT and CT ratios.

For a complete list of locked values specific to your meter and its firmware, contact Technical Support.
