I am on Economy 10 and have received a letter regarding the radio teleswitch shutdown, however I am not convinced my meter is equipped with a radio teleswitch. It's a Landis+Gyr 5254E-X that looks like the one below. The technical data available online for this meter makes no mention of a radio teleswitch, so I am minded to believe it's internally switched and I can ignore the letter (there are no other mystery boxes nearby). Can anybody with knowledge of this specific meter confirm?

 

 

If there are no other meter ‘boxes’ around then you are probably correct @LukeUK but depending on your location, you may be in an area with load management requirements. E10 meters are also in the ‘unusual’ category compared with general installations. 
 


If your L+G meter isn’t providing automatic readings, you might want to consider an update anyway. 

That is NOT an RTS Meter.

However, it is technically at End of Service Life due to being up for Recertification. You’ll want to have it replaced anyway.

Hey @LukeUK 

 

Welcome to the Forum, I’m glad to see a couple of our volunteers have already stopped by with some really helpful information for you.

 

As mentioned, it’s not an RTS meter but it looks like the meter could be doing with an update soon. You can book an appointment yourself online in no time.

… it is technically at End of Service Life due to being up for Recertification. 

 

I was looking up certification periods for a different consumer, so I checked the L+G 5254E when I saw this. Its certification lasts 20 years, so it’s not up for recertification/replacement on those grounds until 2029.
  

 

Thanks all for the quick responses. Seems OVO either have incorrect information or are just targeting everyone with a multi-rate meter as they're not 100% sure who has an RTS meter and who doesn't.
