a) The meter must have a 365-day calendar real-time clock that completes a daily timesync with the server at least once every 24 hours and that will either retain the time settings during battery replacements or servicing, or will accurately reset the time settings without losing prior programming; reset shall occur within 3 seconds of battery replacement or servicing. If back-up power built into the meter is used for this function, this back-up power must allow at least 15 minutes for a given battery change without losing the clock settings. b) The clock shall be programmable at least one year in advance for automatic daylight savings time changes. c) The time-of-day clock shall be accurate to within plus or minus two seconds per day (where a day is defined as any given 24-hour period). i. There shall be no upper limit or maximum deviation that would prevent the clock from syncing with the MMS. ii. The clock shall track the day of week, Monday through Sunday. iii. Time of day and day of week shall be displayed to maintenance staff, on the front display screen, when the reset feature is activated. Power Comply a) Batteries shall be located in an easily accessible storage area inside the unit that can be changed out in less than 30 seconds once the meter is opened. b) For environmental reasons, Nickel-Cadmium batteries shall not be used to power the meters. c) The meter will be powered by battery and/or rechargeable solar-powered battery pack. d) When battery voltage falls below a minimum threshold, the meter will generate an alert prior to the meter going out of service. e) Battery connections will be designed to resist corrosion and sustain a minimum of five years of service. f) Current battery voltage for both rechargeable (solar) and non-rechargeable batteries will be available on the display and through the MMS. g) All locally-stored meter data will be retained during battery replacement and battery failures of seven days or less. h) Please describe any unique power management capabilities. The mkBeacon uses very little power and uses it efficiently. It should run battery neutral on just a couple hours of sunlight per day under normal usage. Battery costs are now a thing of the past when using the mkBeacon meter. i) Battery shall have a life of at least 5 years. Proposer shall describe how any and all options will impact battery life, including real-time mobile payment integration and display.
