Important
As part of Secure Meters continuous endeavour to improve product design, the specifications mentioned in this
manual are liable to change anytime and therefore availability of features is product build specific.
Specifications / features listed in this document are the most advanced available with Secure Meters on the date
of release of this document, and hence should not be considered as default. Availability of all or some of the
same depends upon the product builds and may not be readily available. Sales team should be contacted for
queries, if any.
No part of the manual, or its content thereof, must be published, distributed, scanned or copied, in either
electronic form or otherwise, without prior information and express consent of Secure Meters.
While all efforts have been made by Secure Meters to minimize errors, some errors may inadvertently exist.
Secure Meters undertake to correct such errors wherever possible, and request feedback from users in this
regard.
Secure Meters reserve the right to alter some or whole of the specifications mentioned in this document without
any prior notice.
For any queries or clarifications, the user is requested to email the Secure Meters’ support team at
[e-mail]
In most countries, electrical installations comply with more than one set of regulations issued by National
Authorities or by recognized private bodies. It is essential to take into account these local constraints.
Secure Meters have duly conducted product quality tests as per regulations based on the observance of
rigorous safety rules in the design and realization of the product.
In order to prevent tampering, the meter should be appropriately sealed after installation. Inappropriate handling
of the seal may cause damage to the meter thus creating a false impression of being tampered with.
Please take note of the warning and caution icons presented in this manual as follows:
This icon indicates the existence of dangerous electrical voltage. These
operations must only be performed by qualified personnel.
Attention
This icon warns the user to take special precautions whilst performing an
operation. The procedure must be followed as described in the manual.

Disclaimer
Secure Meters assume no responsibility for damage caused to the meter under the following circumstances:
Irregular maintenance / improper installation
Imprudence or carelessness during installation
Normal (or abnormal) wear and tear of insulation
Accidental contact with hazardous elements
Immersion of meter in water
Handling of meter by unauthorised persons
Handling of meter by inebriated persons
Precautions and safety practices
This product must be installed and serviced only by trained personnel. We strongly recommend
reading the ‘Sprint 211 installation manual’ thoroughly before installing the product.
Energy meters are generally installed in electrically hazardous areas. To minimise the risk of
electrical shock, stay away from loose or exposed electrical connections. If there is loose or exposed
electrical wiring near the meter, initiate appropriate preventive measures.
The electrical installation of electronic meters at a site requires an adequate understanding of all
governing rules and regulations.
Keep the meter away from fire, rain and direct exposure to water.
The meter may be damaged, either in part or completely, if it falls from a height.
It is recommended to immediately cut off the electricity supply upon occurrence of a fault within the
meter.
Ensure that the load does not exceed the current range specified on the rating plate.
Appropriate fuses and circuit breakers must be used in accordance with the rating of the meter.
Secure Meters recommend regular installation checks to be carried out, especially when product is
installed at locations posing high risk of degradation or corrosion, such as under direct strong
sunlight, areas with high ambient temperature and little ventilation, areas near heat sources such as a
furnace, areas where the meter is regularly exposed to chemical fumes, etc.
When enabling the external antenna always ensure that it has been plugged into the SMA connector
under the module.
To ensure optimal performance of the radio system with the meter, the radio antenna must be fitted
externally if the meter (or modem) is installed inside a metal enclosure.
Always refer to installation & associated documentations and follow the instruction and the practices
described. Manual should be strictly referred for details wherever the caution symbols are used on
the product.
If the meter is not used in the manner specified in the manual, the protection provided by the meter
may be impaired.
Safety practices must be followed as open position of the supply or load control switch does not
provide isolation from the mains network.
The installer is responsible for coordinating the rating and the characteristic of the supply side over
current protection devices to the maximum current rating of the metering equipment. Refer section
General for details.

1 Product overview and operating principle
Sprint 211 is a three phase, single element electricity meter that supports both Credit and Prepayment (or Pay
As You Go (PAYG) modes of operation for Smart Metering. It is available in two variants one with load control
feature and other without this feature. Please check the rating plate to know your version of the meter. The
meter supports 230V (+20%/– 20%) connection with the current of 10-100A. It is used with a Skyline-i 533/033
intimate modular communication module.
Skyline-i 533 communication module supports 3G (with fallback on GPRS).
The communication module sits on front belly of the meter cover. It serves as the communication gateway to the
Head End System (HES) via a Wide Area Network (WAN) and other smart metering devices via a Home Area
Network (HAN). The modular communication design provides the flexibility to upgrade or change the meter’s
communication technology without the need to remove the meter or break metrological seals. The
communication module connects the meter to HES over 3G. This communication provides remote data transfer
between the meter and HES either as per the request or according to the schedule. The Zigbee® module
connects the communication module with other HAN devices –In Home Display (IHD).
Figure 1: Operational scenario (with Skyline-i 533/033)
It has an 1107 optical communication port for local communications and a user interface consisting of two push
buttons which allows the user to select and display the data.
Commands or changes of configuration can be delivered to the meter in the form of authorised messages or
UTRNs. UTRNs are encrypted codes that are valid only in the meter for which they are generated.
An integrated 100A mains supply contactor is provided which can be used for disconnecting/ reconnecting
mains supply. Supply disconnection / reconnection can be done remotely over the WAN or locally. Mains
frequency based clock or a battery-backed internal clock maintains the meter’s date and time. Removal of the
terminal cover and main cover is detected and logged in power-on condition.
Internal sensors monitor external magnetic fields allowing magnetic events to be logged and reported.
In addition, a load control switch rated at 31.5 A (variant specific) is integrated into the meter which controls
loads connected to the auxiliary load terminal of the meter.
Notes:
The operational scenario is similar for Skyline-i 033 except that the communication with IHDs over
HAN is not supported.
Some of the functionalities / features will be applicable depending upon the availability for load control
switch in the product.
