Advanced I

The Advanced I meter meets all the interval data needs of businesses of any size. The meters in the Advanced I product line are manufactured by international industry leaders: Schlumberger, General Electric and Landis & Gyr. The Schlumberger Vectron, the GE KV, and the Landis & Gyr S4 meet SCE's highest quality standards and the state's requirements for Direct Access metering. The Advanced I meter is completely solid-state and computer-based and has two channels: one for recording kilowatts and kilowatt-hours, and the second for recording kilovars, also known as reactive demand. Both measurements are required to bill customers with demands over 200kW, no matter who provides the electric generation service. For customers with demands under 200kW, the second channel remains idle until activated by demand in excess of 200kW.

You can purchase an Advanced I meter with an internal modem to access your meter data via a standard telephone line. Using advanced metering and communications software, such as Edison AMICOS™, you can download electric usage data to your personal computer for further analysis. The Advanced I meter can also be purchased with two solid-state, KYZ pulse outputs to interface with your Energy Management System (EMS) or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA).

NOTE: The modem must be connected to a phone line to function. SCE will provide the hardware and software configuration, password, and phone line set-up and verification to enable your meter to receive phone calls, but your phone service provider must provide and install the phone line.
