Meter Installation

Xtopel undertake meter installation services for facilities with adequate wire separation. A thorough review of the existing wiring infrastructure is undertaken pre-installation and post-installation to ensure no tenants’ consumption is wrongfully charged to another. Common areas are also metered at the discretion of the client.

VENDING MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Xtopel Power will deploy its Smart Keypad Prepayment Metering technology integrated with an electronic Vending and payment (e-pay) platform to provide a scientific measurement of power purchased in Kilowatt-hour (KWh) by each occupant.

The solution provides a 24-hour and seven (7)-days a week power (credit) purchase and payment for electricity through the web-based Vending and billing management system. The vending system has the capability to sell power and collect cash from each tenant for power purchased before the power is consumed by each room-occupants. Our comprehensive solution guarantees near 100 percent revenue assurance for the Facility Managers.

The Vending software capabilities:

1. Enables pre-payment of electricity power purchases using the Public Utility Regulatory Commission (PURC) approved tariff embedded into the vending system.
2. Generates a 20-digit token code for power purchased to recharge tenants’ meters using the keypad on the meter or the customer interface unit (CIU) remotely.
3. Loading of the 20-digit token by the keypad or the CIU of the tenant by wireless transfer to the meter
4. Remote recharge enables the meter to be switched on remotely, in case meter goes off due to low credit balance
5. Remote control of meters enables meters to be switched On or Off remotely in case it is detected that power is being stolen.
6. Prevents the continued usage of power in the event of meter tamper by any tenant. The meter is activated only on the vending system.
