⚡ CalinMeter Status Codes – Postpaid Quick Reference & Action Guide

Code	Meaning	Action
01	Cumulative total active kWh consumption	Record/check usage trend
14	Load threshold	Compare with customer load, adjust if configured too low
31	Current total active power	Check load at moment of query
35	Current total power factor	If persistently low, investigate load/PF correction
40	Number of meter cover open events	Check tamper log; reseal if necessary
41–45	Last 1st–5th cover open times	Verify tamper history
46	Number of overload trip events	Review load demand; advise upgrade if frequent
47–51	Last 1st–5th overload trip times	Identify when overloads occurred
52	Number of power down events	Check supply reliability
53–57	Last 1st–5th power down times	Cross-check with outage records
58	Number of phase down events	Investigate supply-side issues
87	Reason for relay disconnecting	Use table below for action

Sub-Code	Cause / Display	Field Action
00	Relay Closed	No issue, meter supplying load.
1	No Credit	(Ignore – prepaid only)
3	Over Power	Advise customer to reduce load; check load threshold config.
4	Relay Test	Normal test — no action needed.
5	Open Upper Cover	Reseal meter; enter clear tamper token.
6	Open Terminal Cover	Reseal meter; enter clear tamper token.
7	Remote Disconnect	Confirm if intentional (backend/HES). Reconnect if needed.
8	Not-active	Commission meter (default code: 12345).
9	Over Current	Inspect customer load for surges; advise mitigation.
11	Over Voltage	Report to utility; check feeder for high supply voltage.
12	Under Voltage	Report to utility; check feeder for low voltage.
13	Current Reverse	Inspect wiring/tamper; correct polarity.
14	Open Enclosure Cover	Reseal; enter clear tamper token.
15	Magnetic Field Interference	Investigate tamper with magnets; clear tamper token.
16	Current Imbalance	Check for phase/load imbalance.
17	Neutral Line Interference	Inspect neutral wiring/tamper.
18	Bypass	Inspect for illegal bypass; escalate if confirmed.
21	Voltage Imbalance	Investigate supply phase imbalance.
22	Thermal Overload	Inspect meter location (ventilation/overload). Allow cool-down.
23	Low Power Factor	Advise PF correction (capacitors).
24	Tariff Error	Backend config issue — escalate to admin.
25	Remote Reconnect + Local Trip	Local fault persists — troubleshoot cause (e.g., overload/tamper).

✅ Quick Action Guide Summary

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

Meter operating status = 1008

Step 1: Interpret the Code

In many AMI/CalinMeter integrations, codes like 1000 and 1008 map directly to relay/disconnect statuses (Code 87 sub-codes).

Step 2: What This Means in Postpaid Setup

In this state, the meter will not supply power, regardless of load or tariff configuration.

Step 3: Field Action (from Quick Action Guide)

Action: Commission the meter using the commissioning token/code.
- Default commissioning code is 12345.
- 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.

✅ Summary:

Your AMI response of 1008 means “Meter not commissioned.”

👉 To resolve: Enter 12345 (or your site-specific commissioning token) on the CIU/backend to activate the meter.
