### Examples

#### Example #1

You query the meter for meter operating status and you get back this

[![Screenshot 2025-09-04 at 14.21.36.png](https://bookstack.nearlyfreeenergy.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-09/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2025-09-04-at-14-21-36.png)](https://bookstack.nearlyfreeenergy.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-09/screenshot-2025-09-04-at-14-21-36.png)

#### Answer 

**Meter operating status = 1008**

**Step 1: Interpret the Code**

- In many AMI/CalinMeter integrations, codes like <span class="s1">**1000**</span> and <span class="s1">**1008**</span> map directly to <span class="s1">**relay/disconnect statuses (Code 87 sub-codes)**</span>.
- **1008 = Sub-code 8 under Code 87**<span class="s1">.</span>
- From the guide:
    
    
    - <span class="s1">**8 → “Not-active”**</span> → *Meter not commissioned*.

**Step 2: What This Means in Postpaid Setup**

- The meter is physically installed, but it hasn’t been <span class="s1">**commissioned**</span>.
- In this state, the meter will <span class="s1">**not supply power**</span>, regardless of load or tariff configuration.

**Step 3: Field Action (from Quick Action Guide)**

- <span class="s1">**Action**</span>: Commission the meter using the <span class="s1">**commissioning token/code**</span>.
    
    
    - Default commissioning code is <span class="s1">**12345**</span>.
    - Enter this via the CIU (Customer Interface Unit) or backend if supported.
- Once successfully commissioned:
    
    
    - Tamper detection is activated.
    - Relay will close and supply will start flowing.

<span class="s3">✅ </span>**Summary:**

<span class="s3">Your AMI response of </span>**1008**<span class="s3"> means </span>**“Meter not commissioned.”**

👉 To resolve: Enter <span class="s1">**12345**</span> (or your site-specific commissioning token) on the CIU/backend to activate the meter.

[![Screenshot 2025-09-04 at 14.36.50.png](https://bookstack.nearlyfreeenergy.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-09/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2025-09-04-at-14-36-50.png)](https://bookstack.nearlyfreeenergy.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-09/screenshot-2025-09-04-at-14-36-50.png)

#### Answer

Great — let’s now map <span class="s1">**1000**</span> through the same guide.

Case: Meter operating status = 1000

**Step 1: Interpret the Code**

- In the AMI integration, <span class="s1">**1000**</span> corresponds to <span class="s1">**Code 87 sub-code 00**</span>.
- **00 → “Relay Closed”**<span class="s1">.</span>

**Step 2: What This Means in Postpaid Setup**

- <span class="s1">The meter is </span>**active and commissioned**<span class="s1">.</span>
- The <span class="s1">**relay is closed**</span>, meaning the meter is supplying electricity normally.
- No tamper or abnormal condition is blocking supply.

**Step 3: Field Action (from Quick Action Guide)**

- <span class="s1">**Action**</span>: No intervention needed.
- Record this status if troubleshooting, since it confirms the meter is healthy and delivering power.

<span class="s3">✅ </span>**Summary for your case:**

<span class="s3">Your AMI response of </span>**1000**<span class="s3"> means </span>**“Relay Closed – supply ON.”**

👉 Everything is normal; no technician action required.

⚡ So together:

- **1000 = Relay Closed (meter supplying power)**
- **1008 = Not-active (meter not commissioned; activate with commissioning code)**
