Set up a Product Profile (Electric Only)

Use the Product Profile to help differentiate Customer Serial Number formats across multiple hardware and software configurations. Product Profile is only used for Sensus Electric Meters, and does not apply to third-party meters. Consult with an MTS before using this screen.

Note: Product Profile is Electric only.
  1. From the order.sensus.com Customer Landing page, select Order Entry, then Product Profiles, OR, from the Pre-Order Information drop-down menu, select Setup a Product Profile.

    The Product Profile screen displays.

  2. Select an Action from the drop-down menu:
    • Add a Product Type Code
    • Update a Product Type Code
  3. If you choose Add, the Product Type Information panel displays and you can enter the applicable information. After you are finished, click the Save button or Save and Send to CEM button at the bottom of the page.
  4. If you choose Update, a new drop-down menu displays and you can select the product you want to update. After a product is selected, the Product Type Information tab for that product displays.

Use these guidelines when setting up a product profile:
Product Type ID
The ID associated with the specific Product Type code that defines the mapping of all fields and associated values including a unique Product Type Name.
Product Type Name
The Product Type Name is also known as the Product Type Code. This name consists of two parts: the manufacturer's product name, and the customer's product name. For the majority of new customers, the names are identical. For the rest, a mapping must be made between the two.
Obsolete
Select this option to remove it as an available order specification.
Production Default
Select Yes if you want an order specification to automatically default to these settings after you select the stock number choices. Normally, this value is set to No for all new product profiles and should be used with extreme caution, and only after consulting with an MTS prior to use.
Remote Disconnect
Select this option if the product profile should match the order specifications that do or do not have remote disconnect selected.
Customer
Use this feature if you want the customer to specify their own set of Product Type Codes. If you select a customer, then you must set up product profiles for each type of meter they will order.
Location
The physical installation location of the meter.
AEP Code
This is a two character code indicating the Meter form. It is followed by the manufacturer code, which in Sensus' case is 6.
Form
The electric meter form number helps meter technicians determine which type of meter should be used for a particular service.
Class

Volts

The metering Watthour constant value, or the unit of electric energy expended in one hour when the average power during the hour is one Watt.
Line Frequency
Determines the Line Frequency, which is 60 Hertz in Canada and the United States, and 50 Hertz in international and European markets.

The number of wires supplying electricity to the meter.
Test Amps
The current capacity of the meter.
