10.2 Premier 300 installation procedure
Having selected a suitable mounting position for the meter, install the meter using the following procedure:
10.2.1 Groundwork
1. Ensure that all the necessary tools are available.
2. By visual inspection, check for any loose or exposed electrical connections near the installation location.
If required, secure the loose connections or use fast-drying, commercially available insulation coating to
cover exposed connections.
3. Check and label the polarity of the supply to the consumer circuit. Polarity test can be performed by a
line tester. A live wire should cause the testers LED to glow whereas the neutral wire should not.
4. Ensure that the consumers installation is safe for isolation. Check the health status of fuses, cut-outs
etc.
5. Isolate / disconnect the consumers supply before installation of the meter.
6. Check for the correct cable size.
7. When multiple meters are being installed next to each other on a central panel, ensure that correct
position is located for each consumers meter. Label the meter accordingly.
8. When the meter box is provided, fix the meter box first and then proceed with the installation of the
meter.
9. Remove both extended and secondary terminal block cover of the meter.
10.2.2 Mounting the Premier 300

The meter has two mounting holes each of 5.5 mm in diameter in the terminal block and a key slot at the top
centre-line on the rear plate.
Steps to fix the meter in position:
1. Mark out the meter fixing position on the mounting surface, drill a hole and fit a ST 4.2*19 mm AB fixing
screw keeping approximately 5 mm outside the surface to secure the meter in place
2. Ensure that the recommended screw is tightened at the correct mounting position.
3. Hang the meter from the top mounting hole provided at the rear panel of the meter.
4. Mark out the positions for mounting screws. Refer mounting dimensions given above or mounting
template available at the rear of meter packing box.
5. Remove the meter from the top mounting screw and drill out the holes for the bottom mounting screws.

6. Re-hang the meter from the top mounting screw, and then fit the bottom mounting screws. A pairs of
mounting holes is provided adjacent to the terminal block which can be used for fixing the meter. These
are visible on the front after removing the terminal block cover. Refer to the Table 8 for more details.
10.2.3 Preparing cables for termination

1. Ensure that a cable of the correct rating is being used. If a cable of lower rating is used, replace it with
appropriate cable.
2. Strip the insulation of cables used as per given recommendations. Following table shows the internal
bore diameters of all the terminals.
Meter terminal Internal bore Depth of terminal

diameter hole
(in mm) (in mm)
Main supply and Load terminals 5.5 18.2

(Out), 3S (In), VB, 3L (Out), N (In) and
N (Out).
Table 9: Internal bore diameters of all the terminals in Premier 300
3. Check the condition of the cable. If the cable is corroded or oxidized, replace the entire cable.
4. If cable was already stripped for a previous installation, cut /trim the previous stripped length. Re-
prepare the cable termination.
5. Loosen the terminal screws and insert one cable core into the terminal cage.
6. Ensure that at least 5 mm of the insulated part of the cable core is inserted into the terminal box shroud.
If the cable insulation is thick enough to be inserted into the shroud, strip an extra length of 5.00 mm
and insulate this extra length with a standard insulation tape to prevent exposed conductor at terminal
end. Terminal block shroud will work as an insulation sleeve.
7. Prepare each core in the same manner for supply as well as load side
10.2.4 Making connections

Local best practice must be observed when selecting conductor size and type.
Making connections to Premier 300 is similar to electromechanical meters. Copper multi-strand conductors
should be used for making connections and the following table gives the recommended guideline for using the
maximum and minimum conductor size:

Current range (Ib/Imax) Minimum conductor size Maximum conductor size
2
1-2A 1.5 mm 4.0 mm2
5 - 10 A 2.5 mm2 6.0 mm2
Premier 300 is equipped with an extended transparent terminal cover, and is intended to be used in installations
in which all the cabling is concealed; it is therefore not necessary to use double-insulated cable.
The cables must be cut and trimmed carefully. The insulation must be cut back, removed squarely ensuring
that no copper is exposed on the portion of the cable outside the conductor bore. Particular care must be taken
to ensure that all the conductor strands are contained within the conductor bore and secured firmly with
conductor screws.
Approximately 20 mm conductor should be cut back when the cable is trimmed. The connections should be
made as per the connection diagrams shown in Annexure-A depending on the meter type. A suitable connection
diagram is shown on terminal block cover of the meter.
The process for fitting the conductors is as follows:
1. Insert each conductor core into the appropriate connection cage. Insert each cable into the terminal box
shroud. The terminals from left to right are 1S, 1L, 2S, 2L, 3S, 3L, NS, NL. Connect load side first i.e.
1L, 2L, 3L, NL and then the supply side i.e. 1S, 2S, 3S, NS.
Figure 10: Terminal block indicating all the load terminals of Premier 300 with additional RS232

Figure 11: Terminal block indicating all the load terminals of Premier 300 with additional RS485
2. Refer to the table below for the recommended torque. Use a torque screw driver to tighten the screws.
Tighten all the terminal screws in turn using a torque screw driver. Tighten the lower screws first,
followed by the upper screws. Check tightness of lower screw after tightening the upper screw. Check
for any loose connections and tighten them, if any.
3. Tightening the screws causes the cage clamp to grip the conductor more tightly. Tightening both screws
ensures that the force is distributed correctly.

stage.
5. Reconnect the mains supply. The LCD should show All segment check display.

6. If the load is switched on, the calibration LED should start flashing in accordance with the current
drawn. If there is no load, the calibration LED should not flash.
7. Seal the meter with the available sealing kit. Utility seals can be applied at terminal cover and
Configuration button. The sealing provision in Premier 300 is as follows.
2 seals on the terminal cover
1 seal for the left push-button
NOTES:
1. To ensure correct operation of the meter, proper voltages and currents must be connected as specified
on the meter rating plate. Also, make sure to connect the neutral for all three-phase four-wire meters.
2. The meter should be installed by trained personnel. The installer must take special care while making
CT connection. It is recommended to disconnect the supply while making CT connection. However, if it
is connected on load then CT secondary must be shorted on TTB terminal and under no circumstances
the circuit should be left open. In addition all essential safety precautions recommended for installation
of electrical equipments should be followed.
This completes the installation of Premier 300

11 Energy, Demand and Time Management
Premier 300 provides various metering registers to store various parameters such as energy, demand, etc. It
also provides billing and rate features. Details of different registers are tabulated as follows:
S. No. Register type Details
1 Main registers - current Main energy registers store values of energy channels irrespective of the
time of consumption and indicate cumulative consumption since last
energy register reset. These registers are available for all supported
energy types as available in BCS.
2 Main registers - history Premier 300 maintains billing (or history) energy registers and maximum
demand registers. These registers are available for all supported energy
and demand types.
3 Rate register- current Rate registers and demand registers correspond to a specific period of
day as configured under the STOD table. These registers log energy
Demand register -
consumption and demand for the current billing cycle for the respective
current
STOD. Eight independent rate registers are available for configured
energies..
Similarly, a maximum of eight demand registers can be configured energy

types.
4 Rate register- history Billing rate registers are similar to the current billing rate registers and
store energy consumption data for previous billing cycles.
Demand register -
history Likewise, billing demand registers are similar to the current billing demand
registers and store demand data for previous billing cycles.
5 Cumulative demand This register holds the sum of all previous demands in a particular time
register zone (or history demand registers). It will be shown on Premier 300
display.
6. Fraud register When a fraud is detected, this register records energy based on inbuilt
algorithms.

Table 13: Class A, B and C Energies Supported

Note: Based on customer requirements other type of energies can be added/deleted to the default mentioned
list which is as per DLMS Indian companion standard.
Energy channels are configurable at the factory end. For all selected energy channels, two different sets of
energy registers are maintained in the meters memory:
Current cumulative values
Billing cumulative values
11.2 Fraud Metering

In fraud metering mode, Premier 300 computes energy based on I maximum and V nominal as follows:
Fraud energy = 3 x X x I maximum x V nominal
Where, X is a specified percentage of the rated maximum load taken into account for fraud metering and
remains the same for all tampering events for which fraud metering is enabled.

11.3 STOD/TOU
Premier 300 supports STOD (Seasonal Time of Day) based energy management. The following table describes
the STOD components supported by Premier 300.
S. No. STOD
Details
components
A maximum of 8 rate registers can be defined for each supported energy
1 Rate registers
type for both current set and billing; for configured energy channels
TOD MD A maximum of 8 TOD MD registers can be defined for supported energy
2
registers types for both, the current and the billing set.
Universal
3 A universal MD (UMD) register is maintained for both current and billing.
demand register
Multiple day-types can be defined. A day-type is defined as a combination
4 Day types of several time intervals spanning 24 hours, each assigned to a specific
rate register.
Multiple seasons can be defined. A season is a non-overlapping period
5 Seasons with a start date and an end date. Each weekday of a season is linked with
a specific day-type.
Table 14: Some STOD components in Premier 300
Using these five components, very flexible STOD tariffs can be created. The day types are configurable at
factory end.
11.4 MD Reset
Upon MD reset transaction, all maximum demand registers are copied to respective billing registers with
occurrence time and date stamp. Current registers are then reset. In case mains supply is absent, the
scheduled billing (on billing date) happens when mains supply is restored.
MD reset can be done through following mechanisms
1. Pressing the left push-button, if configured through tool
2. Arrival of billing date
3. Change in STOD tables
4. MD reset command
If the transaction happens in the middle of current DIP, the on-going demand computation is not reset. The
demand is computed at the next DIP cross over. Premier 300 supports and logs MD reset (through a message).
It also displays the cause for an MD reset operation.
11.5 Power-off duration, Tamper count

Premier 300 also supports power off duration and tamper count.
11.6 Billing
For Premier 300, billing operation is triggered through following actions:
1. Through MD reset message
2. Arrival of billing dates
3. Significant change in configuration
4. Pressing left push button

Upon billing, the following information is stored in the history billing data -
1. Values of the main energy registers
2. Values of the rate registers
3. Values of the MD registers
4. Time and date of billing action
5. Average power factor between two consecutive billings
6. Power on and off hours
In addition to the above parameters, following billing-wise registers will be maintained by Premier 300 for both
display and meter readings
1. Cumulative tamper count
2. Power on and off hours
Up to 12 sets of history billing data can be stored in roll-over mode.
11.7 Maximum demand

Premier 300 can be configured through the BCS to record maximum demand for any two of the selected energy
channels. The demand integration period (DIP) for calculating demand can be selected as either 15, 30 or 60
minutes.
11.7.1 Method of MD Calculation

Demand is calculated by the meter at the end of each fixed integration period or DIP as selected by the user. If
this value is greater than the already existing value then this is stored as the MD along with the date and end
time of the DIP. The maximum value of demand can occur at any time during a DIP, but the Premier 300 logs
the MD occurrence time as the end time of that respective DIP. For example, if the maximum value of demand
occurs at any point of time ranging between 2:30 to 3:00 PM, then 3:00 PM is logged as the MD occurrence
time. Only one MD register can remain active during an interval.
11.8 Metrological output

Premier 300 supports two metrological LEDs. One LED blinks based on active energy while the second one (on
the right) is configurable for different functions.
Push buttons are used to configure the blinking of the right side LED as per the consumption of reactive or
apparent energy. Upon scrolling and releasing a button on either a reactive or apparent energy, the LEDs
blinking switches to the displayed energy after display time out.
On power up and midnight crossover, blinking of the second LED reverts to its default energy. The default
energy for the second LED is configurable.
11.9 Time set

Upon requests to change the meter time, irrespective of the amount of change required, Premier 300 sets the
meter clock to the new time. The existing day of load survey is closed and a new survey day is started from the
new date and time.

12 Event Logging
Apart from logging electrical energy and billing data, Premier 300 can also be configured to record a pre-defined
operating or electrical conditions identified as events. These events become handy to detect different conditions
such as attempted tampers and electrical condition monitoring.
Premier 300 detects and logs such conditions with special logics built into the metering software. The meter logs
an event for both occurrence and restoration of any event. For occurrence, an event is logged if it persists for a
duration greater than a pre-defined time identified as persistence time-occurrence. Similarly, when the
conditions return to normal and stay normal, the meter logs an event after a predefined period identified as
persistence time-restoration. Once recorded, an event can be made available in the meter readings
The monitoring functions in Premier 300 allow displaying, logging and communicating different conditions of the
meter to the user. These can be categorised as follows -
S. No. Function Details

Instantaneous values for different electrical parameters such as voltage,
Instantaneous
1 current, power factor, power, frequency are displayed on the meter and
value
are also communicated through meter readings.
Events are logged for either one or a combination of multiple predefined
operating or electrical conditions. Premier 300 detects such conditions and
2 Events
stores them with occurrence and restoration time. Events are logged and
are available in meter readings.
Load survey is the demand value logged for every consecutive 15, 30 or
3 Load survey
60 minute intervals, also identified as Survey Integration Period (SIP).
Table 15: Event logging in Premier 300
12.1 Event Categories

Premier 300 can log the events based on the following categories:
Voltage
Current
Power
Transaction
Others
Non-rollover events such as Cover Open
Other Comms Events
Non DLMS Events
An event is logged in a pre-defined area of memory, also known as a compartment, configured while building
the tariff through the tool. Eight configurable compartments for event-logging are available in Premier 300.
Generally, only one type of events can be accommodated in a particular compartment. The size of a
compartment depends upon the configuration through tool.
Events in a particular compartment may or may not be logged with snapshots; this is configurable through the
BCS for a complete compartment and not for each event type in the compartment. Note that the compartment
containing power on and power-off events does not have a provision of logging snapshots.
The number of events configured directly affects the capacity to hold load survey. Higher the events, lesser is
the space for storing survey data.

12.2 Event support
The interoperability standards prescribe the division of events into compartments as follows:
Event Prescribed Snapshot Remarks (if any)

13 External Communication
13.1 Active mode

In active mode, half-duplex asynchronous communication is supported through two communication ports IEC
1107 port and RS-232. While the default baud rate for is 9600 baud, Premier 300 supports only the DLMS
protocol for communication in active mode. A secure link must be first established between the server (Premier
300 in this case) and the client (like BCS). All communication is standard OBIS code profile based where a
client queries for required information in the form of standard OBIS codes. The server then responds to those
OBIS codes in a standard profiles.
Default password for meter readings is ABCD001.
A complete standard meter reading comprises of four reading sessions as under -
13.1.1 Meter readings Instantaneous session

Instantaneous parameters are read through this session.
13.1.2 Meter readings Readings session

This session is read billing-set wise current and history bill-sets can be read through the standard readings.
Selectivity is enabled for reading desired sessions.
13.1.3 Meter readings Load survey session

Either the whole or selective (subject to availability) load survey readings are available in Premier 300. It is
possible to read load survey data from a defined SIP on a particular earlier date to a desired SIP on some other
earlier or current date through the standard readings. You can read load survey using fixed or sliding window
methods. To know more about the sliding window concept refer section 11.7.1.
13.1.4 Meter readings Events session

In this session, events information available in Premier 300 is read in the form of standard event profiles. Each
event log has a separate profile and log profiles are read sequentially. Selectivity is available for reading session
for desired event.
13.1.5 Load survey / Interval data

Load survey data is configurable through at the time of customization with all instantaneous and energy
parameters available. Premier 300 supports fixed-window and sliding-window type load survey data with energy
and instantaneous parameters for 15 / 30/60 minutes survey integration period, SIP.
Up to 700 parameter-days of load survey data with 30 minute SIP is available in Premier 300 LT and 900 p-days
in Premier 300 HT.
13.2 Security
Premier supports security configuration for allowing access to authorised personnel only.
The security mechanism provides configuring security at the following levels:
LOWEST LEVEL for Public Client
LOW LEVEL for Meter Reader
HIGH LEVEL for Utility Settings

13.3 Sub-active (SA) Mode
Under sub-active mode, Premier 300 operates in the absence of mains supply on battery backup and supports
limited meter and display read features.
The meter supports the following functionality in the sub-active mode:
Meter reading using optical 1107 port in DLMS mode
Manual display
Manual Display
The supported displays and display functionality is different for active and sub-active modes. A separate page
needs to be configured for manual display parameters in the sub-active mode.
During a power down, only up to 3 activations are supported; further invocation of sub-active mode is prevented
until next power up. Also, a single sub-active mode operation cannot last longer than a few minutes.
NOTES:
Sub-active mode can be used only for a small duration in any given month. Upon exceeding the
monthly limit, the firmware disables sub-active mode operation until the start of next month. The timer is
then reset to keep a log of the time of sub-active mode use for the new month.
No transaction will be allowed in SA mode such as MD Reset or time set
SA mode does not support push button long press
