Hii Mikko,
I want to know meter type of the DLMS meter using OBIS code. In India, it seems that obis code for meter type is 0.0.94.91.0.255 so, when I tried to read two different types of meters (Secure premier 300 3P-4W and Genus single phase) on gurux director, meter type value for 3P-4W is 3 and for single phase meter is 5. For my application, I need to know the meter type beforehand, so while reading meter parameters, I can send OBIS code accordingly. May I know what are the different values for meter types using above OBIS code. IN, IS15959 , it is given that for 3P-3W value will be 0 and 3P-4W value will be 1 for meter type. But for 3P-4W secure preimer 300, I get meter type value as 3. I am confused about this.
Please let me know about this issue.

Regards,
Omkar

Hi Omkar,

Hi Omkar,

0.0.94.91.0.255 is Cumulative Tamper Count. Meter Type is 0.0.94.91.9.255.
0 indicates 3P-3W and 1 indicates 3P-4W

Hi Mikko,

Hi Mikko,
It was mistake from my side that I mentioned 0.0.94.91.0.255. Actually I tried reading 0.0.94.91.9.255, but it gave me value 3 as a meter type. Also, what values can be expected for single phase DLMS meter?

Omkar

Hi Omkar,

Hi Omkar,

You need to ask this from the meter vendor. As fas as I know only values 1 and 2 are used.

Mikko
