INTRODUCTION
1. Purchaser
The Israel Electric Corporation (IECo)
2. Tender Name
POLY-PHASE kWh & kVARh CT CONNECTED METERS FOR DIRECT CONNECTION WITH TIME OF USE
AND LOAD PROFILE REGISTERS
3. Projects Location
Industry and Commercial consumers in Israel
4. Project description
The Israel Electric Corporation (IECo) intends to extend new installations or to replace outdated Direct
Connected (whole current) multi rate meters with Time of Use (TOU) multi tariff and load survey
recording metering by utilizing of static electricity meters, specified herein.
This document establishes the structure of a specification for Poly-phase kWh & kVARh meter
collecting both kWh & kVARh, having both time of use and load profile registering to be submitted as
part of the Bidder's proposal in reply to Purchaser's Bid.
In addition, this document specifies certain purchaser's requirements with which Bidder's proposed
meter must comply.
5. Implementation of a common metering standard
Over the years a number of metering protocols (proprietary or seemingly standard) have been used in
IECo metering system. These are namely IEC 1107, ANSI, the PACT (fast LS) from Secure Meters.
The Meter Reading is available after read and converts the proprietary formats into user readable
form.
These protocols and meters SW have been modified by the Bidders to meet the unique requirements
of the IECo, from a functional point of view, especially with regard to Israeli DST special days and load
survey requirements.
The biggest drawback with the current system is the large resources and efforts being made by
individual metering companies, the system integrators, the software implementers and the IECo in
maintaining of communication protocols, drivers, adapters, converters, and application solutions.
IECo has adopted the DLMS / COSEM IEC 62056 as the standard for metering and will use it for next
/future purchases.

General instructions
1.1. Bidders shall prepare their Proposals in conformity with all requirements of the Tender Documents,
including the attached Proposal Form. (Chapter B2-12 Technical documentation).
1.2. The details and information provided by the Bidder in the Proposal Form must be printed (not
handwritten) on the Proposal Form itself or on separate documents on which the questions of the
Proposal Form must be reproduced.
1.3. The Bidder shall organize his proposal documents so that each Annexure “B” paragraph is followed by
the respective Annexure “C” paragraph. Annexure “C” paragraphs shall carry the same paragraph
number of the respective Annexure “B” paragraph with the addition of the suffix “a” and shall be
printed in a different font in order to distinguish Annexure “C” paragraphs from Annexure “B”
paragraphs. A numbered paragraph includes all material in both numbered and unnumbered
paragraphs up to the next numbered paragraph. The Bidder shall provide details of each exception
and alternative. In each and every paragraph, the Bidder shall specify all the characteristics of his
proposed meter which are relevant to the said paragraph.
1.4. The Bidder must provide a response to each and every section in the Proposal Form.
1.5. The pertinent Standards and/or Specifications. (Bidders shall indicate the link(s) of the relevant
publication(s) of the Standards and/or specifications on the Internet)
1.6. If responding on a separate document, the response must follow the same order and bear the same
numbers as those of the Proposal Form, and must refer to all subjects mentioned in the Tender Form
in a full, precise, clear, explicit and unequivocal manner.
For example
Paragraph 2.1 in the proposal will contain a reply or comment to item 2.1 of the RFP, paragraph 2.2
will include the reply or comment to item 2.2, etc. Where items contained in the RFP do not require

1.7. Classification of the Technical part
The Bidder's reply to the Technical part must be classified as belonging to one AND ONLY ONE of the
following three categories:
Conform (C) – The Bidder's currently available proposed System meets the requirements in the
manner indicated by the Technical part.
Alternative (A) – The Bidder's currently available proposed System uses an approach at variance with
the Technical part, which the Bidder believes meets the intent of the Technical part. The Bidder shall
explain the proposed alternative. In addition, the Bidder shall specify, where applicable, the effort in
man days, required to provide a fully conforming item.
Exception (X) – The Bidder's proposed System does not meet the requirements of the Technical
part and no alternative is proposed.
For example
DIAL TEST MODE
For dial test acceleration of the initial change of normal kWh resolution shall be done. The dial test
mode shall be activated for at least 60 min (necessary software shall be included in the offer). In this
mode, the display shall show 2 or 3 digits after the decimal point. The meter will exit the dial test
mode to normal display resolution either by a command via the optic port, or when it is powered
down.
Dial test mode is required for both active and reactive energy, import and export energy, for a
continuous duration of at least 2minutes, for testing. If manufacturer does not abide to that
requirement, then alternatively it is possible, for meter to include dial test mode through
communication software. If both these means are absent then if manufacturer accepts to provide a
firmware version enabling active/reactive import/export through dial test mode for at least 2minutes.
D.1.3.a Company name: CCC Response: Conform (C);
Meter CCC – No need to change the kWh resolution. The accuracy of the KWh display is already 3 digits
after the decimal point.
In the absence of conformance alternatives or exceptions in any individual paragraph, IECo will assume
that the Bidder's proposed System is in conformance with the Technical part, and if the Bidder is
awarded this Tender, the Bidder shall be required to meet all such requirements without exception.
Said Specifications must be sufficient to demonstrate how the Bidder proposes to comply with the
applicable requirements, including full explanations of the techniques, disciplines and procedures to
be utilized. Failure to submit all required technical information for the purpose of evaluation of a
proposal may result in a rejection of the proposal.

CHAPTER B1-3: SHIPMENT AND HANDLING
Packaging
1. Each meter must be packed, together with its non-tightened terminal cover and fixing screws, in a separate
cardboard box, which can be opened and re-closed without needing adhesives. Measures should be taken to
prevent the cover from "self-tightening" during transportation. The shaped screws, however, shall be inserted
into their places in the cover.
2. The box shall prevent, as much as possible, penetration of dust during long storage periods. The box must be
designed for multiple use and be robust, with wall thickness of at least 4 mm.
3. The packaging will protect the meters against shock and vibration, preventing damage due to road conditions
during transport and distribution in the countryside. The electrical and mechanical properties shall not be
affected by these disturbances.
4. 4 to 8 boxed meters should be packed together in a group box. This box shall be marked – on the front (wide
side) and on the narrow side – with the Bidder name, meter type, meter code, IECo catalog number 3966298,
production serial numbers (or these numbers' lot borders), serial number bar-codes (or bar-codes' borders),
manufacturing year, the sign “FRAGILE” and the Israel Electric Co. logo.
5. For shipping the group boxes shall be close packed by stockpiles of suitable quantities on pallets. A stockpile will
be protected against moisture by a polyethylene hood, covered with a cardboard cover (hood), and fixed onto
the pallet by parallel polypropylene bands, using protection angle bars at the corners.
6. The hood shall be marked – on the front (wide side), on the narrow side and on the top – with IECo logo, the
Bidder's name, meter type, meter code, IECo catalog number 3966298, production serial numbers' borders,
serial number bar-codes borders, manufacturing year, the IECo order number, the sign “FRAGILE”..
7. The pallet shall also carry a unique label (for example, "Pallet 1 out of 24") to distinguish it in the total shipment.
8. An impact detector ("Shock Watch") label shall be attached to the cardboard hood of several pallets in each
container to warn of possible rough handling during shipment, transport and storage.
9. The general form, overall and access dimensions of the pile are as given in Appendix.
10. Each pallet should contain between 70 and 200 meters.
11. The actual number of meters on each pallet will be agreed with the IECo when the Bidder is awarded an order.

CHAPTER B1-4: QUESTIONNAIRES & DECELERATIONS
APPENDIX B1-4A: RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY AND MAINTAINABILITY (RAM)
Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM)
1. Definitions
The following definitions are valid for all Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) purposes in the
Specification for electronic watt-hour meters. The RAM parameters are characteristics of the meter design and
production only, when they are properly used and maintained.
1.1. Electronic Meters – See items of Specification least
1.2. Failure – Failure is any event where a meter has stopped functioning, or exceeds its specification limits, and
requires repair or replacement.
1.3. Failure Rate – The failure rate, of a meter is the number of failures per operating time unit. The system
failure rate for the meter will mean the sum of the failure rates of its components, i.e. = 1 + 2 + 3 + …
+ n.
1.4. MTTF – MTTF is the mean time between the meter installation and operation, and the first failure.
1.5. Reliability – Reliability is a design characteristic defining the ability of a product to perform satisfactorily.
Therefore: Reliability is the probability that a meter will perform without failures, for a pre-defined period
of time, when used under stated conditions (at IECo site). MTTF is a reliability parameter, in accordance
with definitions of IEC 60050-191.
1.6. Life Length – Life length of a meter is the time until the first failure in operation.
1.7. Maintenance – Maintenance is any action taken to replace a faulty meter with a properly working one,
after a failure, and test the operable condition of a replaced meter.
1.8. Maintainability – Maintainability is a design characteristic defining the ability of an item to be replaced
quickly and checked for its operable condition after a failure.
Note:
Since IECo's approach to meter fault elimination is by means of valid replacement of a damaged meter by another
one (new or used, however tested as revised product) conducting by appropriate billing, maintainability is converting
to influence of definite meter type on mean time of these replacement.

5.2.7. Packaging, Handling, Storage, and Transportation (PHST)
5.3. The FRB is the only body entitled to classify failures as “Relevant”, or “Non-relevant” for the purpose of the
RFD.
5.4. The Bidder is responsible for productive agency of RFD results.
5.5. The RFD shall be ended with either ACCEPT, or REJECT result.
5.6. The meaning of REJECT result is violation of the specification, and the contract will deal with such a
situation.
5.7. The RFD will be framed in accordance with standard reliability test methods.
Note:
It is recommended to:
Explore IEC 60300-2, in order to demonstrate the dependability program of the offered meter.
Explore IEC 62059-11 and IEC 62059-21, in order to demonstrate the dependability level by means of internationally agreed procedures for dependability data collection.
However, if it will be agreed between IECo and winner of the Contract, another equivalent test plan could be chosen and published, as required by the relevant national body of the country where the meter is manufactured.
5.8. The complete RFD plan, including demonstration parameters, will be prepared after contract award, in
consultation between IECo. Reliability, and Equipment Dept., and the contract winner.

4. Daylight Saving Time
4.1. Option 1: DST for lifetime of the meter
Until recently, the prevailing DST start and end dates in Israel depended on Jewish holidays in the Hebrew
calendar, and therefore changed from one year to another. As a result, the meter had to be loaded (via HHU)
with DST dates for a number of years – normally 4 years.
Therefore, it is now possible to define and realize the DST dates in the meter for multiple years (covering the
lifetime of the meter), without the need to change/refresh the dates via HHU.
The DST start and end dates are stipulated by the new law is as follows:
4.1.1. DST starts at 02:00 on Friday before the last Sunday in March. The meter time is moved forward by 1
hour, so the time change is as follows: 01:59 --> 02:00 --> 03:00.
4.1.2. DST ends at 02:00 on the last Sunday of October
4.1.3. . The meter time is moved back by 1 hour, so the time change is as follows: 01:59 --> 02:00 --> 01:00.

APPENDIX B2-6B: REQUIREMENTS FOR INTEGRATION OF NEW DEVICE DRIVERS INTO ZFA-F
DLMS / COSEM
ITF-EDV Fröschl (http://www.itf-edv.de/index.php?id=smart_meter&L=1) is IECo's software supplier for remote
metering and data processing.
As a part of this Spec. the meter Bidder shall provide all the data (as described herein) to ITF-EDV to facilitate
integration to IECo system. The meter manufacturer shall provide the DLMS/COSEM implemented list of data objects
including their OBIS code, and their basic structure.
In case the manufacturer wins the Tender, he is required to contact ITF Froschl for full and fruitful cooperation. The
manufacturer should provide ITF with low level routines which allow reading all meter data defined in Appendix X.
These routines will be integrated in the ITF Froschl SW (C++, Dot.Net).
The manufacturer should define and abide by a timetable (within 12 months from the date of winning the Tender) for
proving the necessary drivers for the meter. The manufacturer should schedule monthly milestones for ensuring
progress in the timetable.
The driver will receive a unique IECo catalog number, and be budgeted sepately from the meter purchases within the
framework of the Tender.
The manufacturer is responsible for quoting prices separately for the meters and the driver.
Requirements for Device Driver Integration:
1. Rules to ensure quick integration of a new DLMS / COSEM Device Driver
The following books are to be used as references:
1.1. DLMS / COSEM Green Book 7th
Edition, preferably Amendment 3.
1.2. DLMS / COSEM Blue Book 9th
Edition; preferably 11th
Edition
Any anomaly from these books will cause delays. So anything which is Bidder specific and does not follow the
defaults should be avoided.
2. DLMS / COSEM Green Book
Communication Profiles
The two following communication profiles are supported (see figure 3 Green Book):
2.1. 3-layer, connection-oriented (CO), HDLC-based profile. This comprises the COSEM AL, the HDLC-based data link layer and the PhL, for connection-oriented asynchronous data exchange. It supports DLMS User Association, COSEM Architecture and Protocols, Seventh Edition DLMS User Association 2009-12-22 DLMS UA 1000-2 Ed. 7.0 20/310 data exchange via a local – optical or electrical –port according to IEC 62056-21, leased lines and the PSTN or the GSM telephone network.
2.2. TCP-UDP/IP based communication profiles. These profiles support data exchange via the Internet over various physical media, like Ethernet, ISDN, GPRS, PSTN or GSM using PPP etc. In these profiles, the COSEM AL is supported by the COSEM transport layer(s), comprising a wrapper and the Internet TCP or UDP protocol. Lower layers can be selected according to the media to be used, as the TCP-UDP layers hide their particularities.
3. Recommended referencing method
Use of Logical names (LN referencing) recommended. In this context the following services are supported:
3.1.
3.2.

APPENDIX B2-6C: TOU & DST DIAGNOSTIC TEST TOOL & METERS CONFIGURATION
VERIFY TEST TOOL
Two applications / test programs are developed by IECo resources based on the Bidder pc program.
Application : 1 TOU & DST Diagnostic Test Tool
Diagnostic test tool uses test scripts to verify that an installed TOU & DST table is operating correctly by using
IECo developed software program running the meter manufacture pc program that Enable to change the
meter time and date to calculated pre-selected test points and read the meter.
The tested points are generated by IECO SW.
The program compare the meter tariff variability to expected tariff at the selected test points
At the end a report is produced (see example next page) and analyzed for differences if any.
This program is running each time there is a change in the TOU or DST data to check the new CONFIG
before distribute to all meters .
The test process:
Setting the date and time to a known value.
Running the meter “on load” for a fixed length of time.
Reading the meter to see which rate register has advanced.
Comparing the rate register advance to the expected rate register.
The tool will only complete a test properly if the meter is on load and registering energy consumption.
The test point number is automatically generated.
Each Test Point sets the meter date and time to a known value and checks that the correct rate register has been
incremented. The script then moves to the next test point, sets a new date and time and checks that the correct
rate register has been incremented.
Test Start Date = the date the meter should be set to for the test.
Test Start Time = the time the meter should be set to for the test.
Test Duration = length of time meter should be on load in order to verify that the test is successful (This
will depend on the kW load, a high kW load requires a shorter time than a low kW load).
Expected Rate Register = the rate resister that should be incremented by this test.
Generates a report
Notes:
The meter shall be loaded with IECo load equipment.
The Bidder can propose similar program that tests the TOU & DST functionality.
Application 2 Meters Configuration Verify Test Tool
IECo developed software program running the meter Bidder pc program that enable to read /write the
configurations data from the meter and compare it to reference confirmed configuration file.
This test is performed on each meter before installation (as part of acceptance test

Note:
If more than one bit is set, the corresponding Hexadecimal value will reflect this. For example, if there is a time
change forward (due to DST changeover) at the same time as a power failure then bits 0 and 3 would be set.
This gives a binary value of 00000000 000010012 = 00 0916.
For individual phase failures, each SIP in which the condition is true should have the corresponding bit set.
For long supply failure the status bit will be set throughout the duration of the power outage.
For time and/or date changes forwards the status bit will be set in the SIP which was current when the change
was executed and in the SIP containing the time to which the clock was set. (All SIPs in between will contain filler
data and will have only the appropriate bit set.)

For time and/or date changes backwards the status bit will be set in the SIP which was current when the change
was executed, the SIP containing the time to which the clock was set and all SIPs in between. (Since the data will
be summed and may therefore appear to be irregular.)
Each pulse count (and associated status code) for each integration period is shown in the 4 columns above. In
order to get the demand value in kWh, use the pulse multiplier and pulse divider fields.
Demand in kWh = (Count) x Divider
Multiplier x (number of periods per hour)
For the first value (0000:0000 – 0000:15), this works out at ...
35.58458.14160
12334 KWh
Filler data will appear as zeros with a status code of 000416.

Table 32A – Additional LOAD SURVEY - STATUS CODE BIT SET
No. SPECIFICATION FOR BEHAVIOUR OF LOAD PROFILE STATUS WORD STATE MACHINE
1
1. Blank days inserted as a result of forward date change show status flag 0004.
2. At the end point of a forward date change, status should be 0020, not 0000.
3. Boundary case: In summer time, a time change from 00:02 to 01:57 should show code 0008 (time change
fwd) and not code 0020 (date change fwd). This is because in base time – meter still thinks it is 1/10/11
23:00. In reality it will never occur. In addition this is still a valid status flag. Need to publish a system limit
(not a bug): prevent time change forward in summer time at hours 00:00-01:00.
2 Entry into DST (1 hour shift forwards) :At end point of the forward time change created by entry into summer
time, status should be 0008 and not 0000.
3
Status Code 5400 for periods where R, S, T are off, but not together during a single period.
1. Status Code 0002 for periods in which a long supply failure (across at least one period boundary) starts,
continues or ends – regardless of these periods having valid data or not. This includes inserted blank days.
2. Status Code 0001 for periods with meter supply off for part of one period only.
3. Status Code 0004 for periods in which there is no valid data and no other flag.
For true long supply failure with individual phase failures in the same period (4000+1000+400), 5402 is a valid status code.
4 Status Code=5401 for periods where R, S, T are off at various times during a single period + full short supply
failure during part of the same period. If there is no full supply failure we expect to see status code 5400.
5
If R, S, T fail separately and this results in a total supply failure, status code will be 5400 + 0001 (for short
supply failure – ER-3 point 1) or 0002 (long supply failure).
Any long supply failure will only show 5402 (in the event of at least one individual phase failure) at the start
and end SIPs – all intermediate SIPs will only contain 0002.
8
Suspected error: Incorrect time change backwards status flag – includes (suspected) non-existent short
supply fail -ER-8 not reproducible but partially supported in the same manner as ER-7.
0011 (and 0012) is a possible status code: (time update backwards into a period which is already marked with
a supply failure). Time update backwards without any supply failure should be marked as 0010 only.
9 Energy of repeated periods is accumulated and not overridden.
10
General principle 1: if there is interference between flagging of supply-related conditions and flagging of
date/time-related conditions. It is stressed by IEC that these sets of conditions must be handled
independently of each other.
11
General principle 2: Because of complex time changes during laboratory tests, or occasionally because of
errors in the field, it can happen that the meter(s) traverse certain time periods more than once.
If there are multiple events in the log covering any such periods, the survey periods will be marked with flags
relating to all of the traverses. For instance, such a period might show both a time set (forward or backward)
and a power failure (phase or supply) even though they actually happened on separate occasions.
In the field, this will also be the case. However, smaller time sets (1 or 2 hours forward/back) are much less
likely to create complex data.

Duplicate Data Fields
The output file shall normally contain no more than one record for each date. Input data from the meter will
however contain two or more parameter-days with the same date as a result of any time change which is not
small, or of change of survey definition (energy types, scaling, or SIP length).
Reason for duplication Action to be taken
Data collection resumed after an interruption, data sets overlapping
Eliminate duplicate days
Time change (other than a small adjustment)
For each channel, combine days having the same date
Table 33 – Duplicate Data Fields
Input records with the same date are handled as follows, where the “first” record means the one that is
encountered first in reading sequentially from the beginning of the input file (RES or ALL), and an “extra” record is
any record after the “first”.
Any extra record which results from a change in time is combined with the preceding record with the same date
to give a single output record. If there are more than two records with the same date then the output should be
as if the first two records were combined and the result then treated as a new first record to be combined with
the third record, and so on.
To combine records, first pulse counts and status values are calculated for each record , then SIPs notionally
having the same timestamp are combined with each other. Combine SIPs according to this table:
SIP in first record SIP in extra record SIP in output record
Valid Invalid Copy count and status from SIP in first record
Invalid Valid Copy count and status from SIP in second record
Invalid Invalid Invalid (zero count, filler status)
Valid Valid Sum of counts, and inclusive-OR of statuses, in first record and extra record
Table 34 – SIP Data
In the event of a change in scaling, a new set of data is started (including header info).
DST Offset
In the meter, Load Survey is always maintained using base time.
