SECTION 1 - PRE-SITE PLANNING AND

PROCUREMENT

OH&S and regulatory documents

The Contractor must submit OH&S and regulatory documents to relevant Defence Project Manager for

approval. No site work will be undertaken without the approval of the Defence Project Manager to do

so.

Appendix B lists all relevant legislation, standards and codes that shall be adhered to as part of the

procurement, installation and commissioning of the sub-meters.

Project Contact

The Contractor should confirm all relevant project contacts at project commencement (refer Table 1)

Notification of Non-Compliance

If the Contractor is aware of a non-compliances prior to attending site they must refer to the Defence

Project Manager if changes are required on approved design due to site constraints or other issues.

Resource Data Management System

The Contractor shall confirm with Defence Project Manager prior to installation that the sub-meter being

installed will be connected to Defence’s RDMS.

If the sub-meter is being installed into a different data management system (i.e. a Building Management

System (BMS) or a Power and Control Management System (PCMS)) then they should confirm the

commissioning requirements with the Defence Project Manager including whether the BMS or PCMS

shall be connected to the RDMS (see BMS-RDMS Connection Protocol).

Sub-metering Installation Schedule

The Contractor must submit a detailed installation schedule to the Defence Project Manager and provide

the schedule to the Meter Data Agent (MDA) for reference. This schedule will allow the MDA to prepare

for remote commissioning at the commissioning phase.

This information should be provided together with:

the number of meters being installed

the meter type and serial number for each meter

the modem type and serial number for each modem


- 5 -

the SIM card IP address associated with each sub- meter (provided by the NSP Program

Manager when the SIM cards are issued)

the CT ratio

Network Signal

A Network Signal Analyser is to be used to ensure there is sufficient signal on site for the proposed

hardware.

The signal analyser must be compatible with the Telstra Cat-M1 (LTE-M) network if

available, the Telstra 4G communications network if Cat-M1 (LTE-M) is not available and

the Telstra 3G communications network if 4G is not available.

The signal analyser must display the network signal strength and frequency band

information for all available base stations.

The signal analyser must allow the connection of an external antenna to test the antenna

installed at meter installation position.

The signal analyser is used to test the antenna and cable installation at each meter

installation location.

At least 30% network signal strength must be available for the modem at each meter

installation location to ensure reliable communications. If the signal strength is below 30%,

then the antenna must be relocated to a position that provides sufficient signal strength.

If there is no signal strength greater than 30% on the 3G network, and the meter is to be

connected to the RDMS as deemed by the Authoritative Defence Contact, a Satellite

connection will be needed.

Procurement of Hardware

The Contractor is responsible for the procurement of approved hardware as per the Electrical Sub-meter Hardware Specification. It is recommended that the Contractor have either procured or have access to the following hardware and equipment for site installation and commissioning:

Electrical sub-meter and communications hardware configured for the Telstra Cat-M1 (LTE-M)

network if available, the Telstra 4G network if Cat-M1 (LTE-M) is not available, and the 3G

network if neither 4G or Cat-M1 (LTE-M) are available. The electrical sub-meter and

communications hardware shall also be configured for TCP/IP communications.

Note if no Cat-M1 (LTE-M), 4G or 3G coverage is available and the meter is l to be connected

to the RDMS as deemed by the Authoritative Defence Contact, a Satellite connection shall be

provided. In this case, the Contractor is to work with the Authoritative Defence Contact to

determine the most appropriate infrastructure to put in place.

Current transformers (if required)

Signal analyser to determine signal strength

Antenna (the contractor shall have standard and high gain antennas due to potential

communications issues)

SIM card/s (request from Stantec at no cost to the Contractor)

Laptop/tablet to complete electronic documentation onsite

Sub-metering Documentation


- 6 -

The Contractor must acquire the most up-to-date (on DEQMS) documents for the installation and

commissioning of electrical sub-meters. The following documents are to be pre-filled where possible

prior to site and then completed during meter installation.

Electricity New Meter Form

Meter Hierarchy Template

The Contractor must make contact with the Meter Data Agent at least two business days before the

scheduled installation to exchange the Electricity New Meter Form and provide other details as required

to prepare for meter provisioning. Refer to the Relevant Sub-metering Contacts section for contact

details.

Security Requirements and Site Notification

Prior to installation the contractor needs to confirm that the installation of the wireless meter/modem is

permitted at the design location, that all security requirements have been addressed, and that an

authorised building contact (e.g. Base Support Manager) has approved the installation and shut-down

process.

Site Access

To ensure that no delays occur due to site access issues the Contractor must confirm that:

All field technicians have appropriate site access and security credentials (access ID if required)

Contractor has obtained an authority/permit to work

Permission to bring laptop, electrical equipment and hardware onsite has been approved

through the Defence Project Manager

Permission to take photos has been approved through the Defence Project Manager

EMOS contractor is aware of works and can provide access (e.g. keys) to metering locations

If required the Electrical authority (Local) has been contacted

Defence Asset ID

The Contractor must ensure that a Defence asset registration number has been assigned and a sticker

obtained to be attached to the hardware installed onsite. This will be arranged through the Defence

Project Manager who may need to liaise with the EMOS for the site.

SECTION 2 – SITE INSTALLATION

Notification of Non-Compliance

If the Contractor becomes aware of non-compliances while attending site and changes to

the approved design are required, the Contractor must refer to the Defence Project

Manager.

For retrofit projects, any alterations to existing infrastructure shall not compromise existing

protection measures (e.g. for switchboards fault withstands including arc fault current

protection, ingress protection or form of segregation. Refer to the requirements of AS/NZS

3000, AS/NZS 3439.1 and AS 4278).

Current Transformers (CTs) Installation

The following shall be considered by the Contractor if required to install new CTs or retrofitting sub-

meters to existing CTs:

Contractor shall ensure that new CTs meet the specification

Contractor shall install CTs of the correct physical size and with a CT ratio appropriate to the

application

Contractor shall confirm that any existing CTs are in good operating condition and appropriate

to the application. Where a CT is deemed to be not functioning, the Contractor must notify the

Defence Project Manager and replace with a new CT.

Any new CTs installed are not to compromise original switch design requirements

Contractor will ensure that CT wiring meets all relevant local and Australian Standards.

CT Ratio information must be correctly recorded and checked as part of the installation details.

Meter voltage connection

All active voltage conductors are to be coloured according to their phase (red, white or blue). The black meter neutral can be picked up from the neutral link. All wires are to be seven strands 2.5mm2 copper as per the Specification.

In general, smart meter and modem packages will be powered by a voltage connection and burden less than 10VA / 50mA per phase. Consult the hardware manufacturer’s data sheets for exact specifications.

If circuits are directly connected to the substation bus or main switchboard bus bars, HRC fuses are to be used because the fault currents in a bare-conductor short circuit can be extremely high.

Any voltage fuses installed beneath a fixed panel must be safely accessible without the need to disconnect power to the switchboard.


- 8 -

Meter Mounting Panel and Meter Test Blocks

The following shall be considered by the Contractor when installing the meter mounting panel and meter

test blocks:

AS3000 and Service Installation Rules (SIRs);

Sub-meters installed shall meet the Specification;

Contractor shall ensure that installations do not to intrude into passageways or present any

safety hazards;

Where Contractors are required to install meters in high security, prohibitive or sensitive areas

they must make note on the New Meter Form so future personnel wishing to access meters are

aware of potential impediment;

Meters shall remain accessible to be read, maintained or replaced without the need to

disconnect power from the switchboard;

Contractor shall ensure adequate shading and air circulation for any external installations;

Meter and modem are to remain clear of strong magnetic fields around heavy bus bars; and

Meter and modem shall be installed in a secure location to avoid the potential for vandalism

and/or theft of equipment.

Meter, modem and aerial

The installation steps to connect a standard electrical meter, modem and antenna package are:

1. Mounting of meter and modem (with installed SIM card) in the location designated by relevant

design documentation;

2. Connection of wiring between meter and meter test block (Note: wiring needs to ensure that

meter is reading usage or generation accurately and not reading generation when usage is

occurring or vice versa);

3. Connection of cabling between meter and modem;

o The radio modem is to be connected to the meter through the appropriate cable port,

noting that generally the meter supplies power and data to the modem through this

cable;

4. Mounting antenna at its nominated location;

o The antenna is to be placed in a location that produces signal strength of at least 30%,

but 60% signal strength or more is preferred

o Where the Contractor needs to undertake works for antenna installation (e.g. drilling for

wires) they must communicate with the Defence Project Manager and obtain the

required approvals.

5. Connection of antenna to modem; and

6. Removal of meter test block bridging links for CTs.

7. NOTE: Most radio modems have a maximum operating temperature around 55°C and will fail if

left exposed in full sun, similarly most meters have a maximum operating temperature around

70°C. Ensure adequate shading and air circulation for any external installations.


- 9 -

Antennas

Antennas are required at all sites to ensure adequate signal strength for reliable remote

communications.

The antenna must support the frequency bands used by the Telstra communication

network selected (preference is Cat-M1 (LTE-M) followed by 4G followed by 3G).

Low cost adhesive antennas must not be used unless there is no alternative due to

insufficient space to mount external omni-directional antennas with a gain of at least

2.0dBi.

Note that many high gain antennas only provide high gain in one frequency band that may

not be available at some installation locations. Please contact the Defence Representative

if unsure about a specific antenna type is suitable for the network and installation.


installation location to ensure reliable communications.

SIM Card

The SIM card is to be correctly inserted into the modem – consult the modem manual for additional

information and correct installation procedure.

Installation Documentation

The contractor shall ensure that the Electricity New Meter Form is completed at the end of each sub-

meter installation. This form is critical in the commissioning phase and ongoing maintenance of sub-

meters.

Where possible the Contractor shall take photos of the sub-meter, modem and current transformers for

reference and send to the Defence Project Manager with the Electricity New Meter Form as this provides

valuable information for meter rectification.

SECTION 3 - COMMISSIONING & SIGN OFF

Power up

The Contractor will perform a visual check of the installation to ensure all components have been

properly installed. This will be indicated by the LCD screen on the meter and correct sequence of status

indicators (such as LEDs) on the modem.

Network Signal Analyser

A Network Signal Analyser is to be used to ensure the modem and antenna installation are installed

correctly and allow for reliable remote meter reading operations.

The signal analyser must be compatible with the Telstra Cat-M1 (LTE-M) network if

available, the Telstra 4G network if Cat-M1 (LTE-M) is not available, and the 3G network if

neither 4G or Cat-M1 (LTE-M) are available..

The signal analyser must display the network signal strength and frequency band

information for all available base stations.

The signal analyser must allow the connection of an external antenna to test the antenna

installed at meter installation position.

The signal analyser is used to test the antenna and cable installation at each meter

installation location.


installation location to ensure reliable communications. If the signal strength is below 30%,

then the antenna must be relocated to a position that provides sufficient signal strength.

Verification of Installation

Verify that all elements of the installation are working correctly by viewing the following parameters on

the meter LCD display. If any of the following parameters are not available on the LCD display, the

Contractor will need to contact the MDA who will be able to perform a remote configuration, provided

wireless communications can be established.

Modem signal strength

o The modem signal strength is a sample taken at the moment when the modem starts

up. Minimum signal strength of at least 30% is required, but signal strength of 60% or

more is preferred.

Modem

o The modem status is normally shown by a sequence of LED indications. Contact the

MDA for assistance if required.

CT ratio

o In most cases, the CT ratio will not be set (basic CT ratio will be pre-programmed to

5/5) until the MDA configures the CT ratio remotely during the commissioning process.

GPS Location

o GPS location is required so that the physical location of the meter is known to parties

not involved in the physical installation of the meter. The Contractor should ensure that


- 11 -

the device used to obtain GPS co-ordinates is accurate within 10 meters of the actual

location.

Remote Commissioning and Verification

The Contractor shall contact and confirm the commissioning schedule with the MDA in advance so that

the final remote commissioning and verification can be performed efficiently. The Contractor shall remain

on site to make any required adjustments in real time.

The following information is required from the Contractor as a minimum to perform the remote

commissioning and verification (this information can be provided before the installations are complete if

known):

Meter model, type and serial number;

Modem model, type and serial number;

SIM serial number (ICCID), Phone Number (MSISDN) and IP address;

CT ratio for installed CTs;

Whether the meter is measuring usage, generation or both

Number of phases, voltage per phase, frequency; and

Photos for equipment installed.

The remote commissioning will be completed by the MDA which will include any additional meter configuration required. The remote commissioning will ensure the signal strength is satisfactory, end-to-end communications are working and that all components have been installed correctly. If any components are not working or have not been installed correctly, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to rectify the problem in consultation with the Defence Project Manager to perform the remote commissioning and verification.
