Narrative

Technical Innovation & Quality Heritage

YTL’s Split-type Prepayment Meters are the ultimate solution for utility revenue protection and anti-tamper security. This system separates the measurement unit (MCU) from the user interface unit (CIU). The meter itself is typically installed in a secure, locked cabinet or high on a pole, while the CIU is placed inside the customer’s home for easy credit entry. As a leading manufacturer, Zhejiang Yongtailong utilizes Power Line Communication (PLC) or Radio Frequency (RF) to link the two units. This architecture makes energy theft virtually impossible because the billing hardware is out of reach for the consumer. Fully STS compliant, these meters allow for 20-digit token entry and provide real-time feedback on credit balance and consumption, making them the preferred choice for utilities in high-risk areas or large-scale housing projects.

Product Application

  • High-Loss Utility Regions
  • Privatized Housing Estates
  • Student Dormitory Management

High-Loss Utility Regions

Specifically designed for areas where illegal connections and meter tampering are common. By moving the measurement unit to an inaccessible location (like a pole-top box), utilities can ensure that all energy consumed is accurately metered and paid for, significantly reducing non-technical losses and improving utility bankability.

Privatized Housing Estates

Ideal for gated communities where the management company handles energy resale. Residents can top up their credit using a keypad inside their kitchen, while the management maintains total control over the meters located in a centralized basement cabinet, simplifying maintenance and audits.

Student Dormitory Management

Perfect for university housing where students share a common utility room but need individual billing. The split design allows the heavy-duty metering to be hidden away for safety, while the students use a compact interface in their rooms to monitor their remaining electricity allowance.

Product Advantages

Enhanced Anti-Tamper Security

By separating the measurement hardware from the user, the risk of bypass or magnetic interference is almost entirely eliminated, protecting your utility revenue.

Improved User Convenience

Users can check their balance and enter top-up tokens from the comfort of their home, without needing to go outside or access a locked utility room.

Flexible Communication

Supports both PLC and RF links between the meter and keypad, allowing for reliable connection through thick walls or over significant distances within a building.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What happens if the CIU (Keypad) is broken?

    A: The meter (MCU) continues to measure energy and function normally. You can simply replace the CIU and pair it with the meter's serial number without any data loss.

  • Q: Can one CIU control multiple meters?

    A: No, each CIU is securely paired to one specific meter serial number to ensure billing security and prevent accidental credit loading on a neighbor's meter.

  • Q: Does the CIU need batteries?

    A: Our RF models typically use batteries (with 2+ years of life), while our PLC models are powered directly by the home's electrical socket when plugged in.

  • Q: How do I know when my credit is low?

    A: The CIU features a programmable audible buzzer and a flashing LED that alerts you when the balance drops below a certain threshold (e.g., 10kWh).

  • Q: Is the communication between units encrypted?

    A: Yes, all communication between the MCU and CIU is encrypted and uses unique security keys to prevent unauthorized token entry or data interception.
