To date, data received from seven recent issues in an installed base of 175,000 meters points to contributing, long-standing industry issues: one was caused by an issue with a meter base attached to a home, three were caused by utility over voltage, two were caused by water intrusion through the meter base and one remains under investigation. “I have been personally involved with our customers and Sensus quality and engineering teams as we work to collect fact-based and data-driven information on these specific incidents.” “Safety is our number one priority and all Sensus meters go through rigorous testing and meet or exceed industry safety standards,” said Sensus President Randy Bays. Product design engineers and quality teams are working closely with customers to understand the specific events that led to recent issues that impacted a small number of iConA™ Generation 3 2S remote disconnect meters. Results to date point to contributing external factors such as water intrusion due to holes in meter boxes, hot socket conditions in the meter box and over voltage in the distribution system. Sensus, a leading provider of clean technology solutions, is conducting utility site inspections and performing extensive lab testing to determine the root cause of recent smart meter incidents.
