I NTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to provide qualified metering personnel with
product description; operating, maintenance, and upgrading instructions; site
analysis guides; and diagrams for the SGM1430-B smart meter family. It is not
intended to replace the extensive training necessary to install or remove meters
from service. Any work on or near energized meters, meter sockets, or other
metering equipment presents the danger of electrical shock. All work on these
products must be performed by qualified industrial electricians and metering
specialists only. All work must be done in accordance with local utility safety
practices and procedures.

P RODUCT D ESCRIPTION
The SGM1430-B meter from Aclara is an advanced modular designed family of
products for small to medium enterprise and commercial installations. The
SGM1430-B is available in a number of different polyphase variants, and it forms
an integral part of a complete two-way, secure, end-to-end solution.
The SGM1430-B has been designed to offer flexibility and the choice of home
area network (HAN) and wide area network (WAN) communications. As
standard, the SGM1430-B supports different AMI technologies, including the UK
CSP communications hub solution. The communications hub mechanically
connects directly to the electricity meter. The hub communicates with the meter
using the ZigBee communication protocol. A manufacturing option that provides
direct communications via a hardwired interface is also available.
The on-board ZigBee RF interface uses industry standard Smart Energy Profile
for HAN communications to the UK communications hub and in-home display
(IHD) respectively.
The standard meter is supplied with an integrated 3 x 100 A switch for
connect/disconnect of the consumer supply. Certain models of the SGM1430-B

General Information
meter offer an optional 2 A load control relay for control of other ancillary devices
such as night storage heating, pumps, etc.
The meters also support a comprehensive tariff developed in association with the
UK Great Britain Companion Specifications Standard as well as both seasonal
time of day (STOD) and block tariffs.
Additionally, the meters offer storage for two years of load profile data and
support independent profiling of voltage profile data, typically line voltage,
current, frequency, etc. The SGM1430-B meter also provides, as standard,
enhanced power quality features offering support of sag/swell and under/over
voltage.
Designed with installation in mind, the SGM1430-B meter offers a means for a
quick and secure deployment. A custom-designed LCD provides added value
information. For example, when ZigBee is used, information such as HAN pairing
progress, notification of pairing complete, local signal strengths for HAN, etc. is
displayed to improve the installation experience. Refer to Installation on page 69
for more information on installing an SGM1430-B meter.
All SGM1430-B meters have a common layout for buttons, optical port, display,
and pulse indicators. The communications hub interface is also standardized
across all meter models. The SGM1430-B meter can be customized with optional
variants and extras, including the following:
• Back-lit LCD
• Hardwired Communications Interface
• Magnetic Detection
• Removal of the HAN
