The ACE9000 Split Single-Phase DIN-Rail prepayment meter (SSP DIN-R) is a compact DIN-Rail mounted Class 1 accuracy single phase split meter. The meter has a split configuration, which allows for increased revenue protection.
The meter consists of two parts, the MCU (Metering Control Unit) and the CIU (Customer Interface Unit). The MCU and CIU are linked via a galvanically isolated 2-wire communication cable.
The CIU is installed within the customers 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. The small footprint of the MCU allows for multiple meters to be installed in a standard meter cabinet, resulting in cost savings for the utility.
