The ACE9000 SSP-BS meter is a Class 1 accuracy, single-phase split prepayment meter in British Standard (BS) housing, based on the latest generation split metering technology from Itron.
The meter has a split configuraton, which allows for increased revenue protection and is suitable for new reticulation as well as for retrofitting of existing standard BS footprint credit meters.
The meter consists of two parts, the Metering Control Unit (MCU) and the Customer Interface Unit (CIU). They are linked via a galvanically isolated 2-wire communication cable. The CIU is installed in the customer home in an easily accessible location, while the MCU is installed in a meter cabinet located on the ground or on a pole away from the customer.
