OpenWay® CENTRON Meter
Brand: ItronA key component of any advanced metering or smart grid initiative, the OpenWay CENTRON meter is a truly smart device used to collect, process and transmit vital energy information to utility systems.
Rather than simply inserting a network communication card into a standard meter, Itron developed an advanced meter where calculations and usage data are calculated within the meter itself, allowing utilities to leverage time-based rates, demand response, home networking and many other smart grid applications.
Features- Electronic LCD display
- Polycarbonate cover
- Optical tower
- Test LED
Time-of-Use and Critical Peak Pricing
- The OpenWay CENTRON supports four TOU rates as well as CPP
- TOU registers may be displayed on the meter’s display
Load Profile
- Four channels of configurable load profile data are available in the following default parameters:
- single channel 30-minute data 753 days
- two channels 30-minute data 501 days
- Modified parameters are available via configuration download
- The OpenWay CENTRON module provides over one year of 15-minute load profile data storage
OpenWay RFLAN Module
- Two-way, unlicensed RF module
- Adaptive-tree RFLAN architecture provides easy installation and self-healing capabilities
Home Area Network (HAN)
- Every OpenWay CENTRON meter includes a ZigBee radio for interfacing with the HAN, in-home displays and load control devices
- The OpenWay CENTRON can store consumption from 2.4GZ OpenWay gas modules utilizing the ZigBee radio
Bi-Directional Metering
- The OpenWay CENTRON measures and displays active energy (kWh) delivered, received, uni-directional and/or net or apparent energy (kVAh) delivered and/or received
Disconnect/Reconnect with Load Limiting
- The OpenWay CENTRON forms 1S, 2S, 12S network, and 25S is available with a 200 amp remote disconnect/reconnect switch as an optional feature. The switch can be operated on demand, or automatically as part of a service-limiting configuration
Tamper Detection
- Tamper indications can be communicated regularly through the OpenWay system
- Tampers include: inversion, removal and reverse power flow
- SiteScan Diagnostics (advanced polyphase register only)
Non-Volatile Memory
- All programming, register, TOU and load profi le data are stored in the EEPROM during a power outage. A battery maintains just the clock circuitry during a power outage
Voltage Monitoring
- Instantaneous voltage
- Voltage monitoring system
