RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(Click to Tweet) — Utilities demand safety, accuracy and reliability in their electricity meters—nothing less than the best will do. Dickson Electric System, a long-time Sensus customer located southwest of Nashville, Tennessee, has deployed the 500,000th Stratus® electricity meter and they continue to see new benefits from the technology.
“Stratus meters are essential to our metering strategy,” said Dickson Electric General Manager Darrell Gillespie. “They enable us to quickly collect data and give our customers an accurate view of their usage information. And the remote connect/disconnect feature helps us save both time and energy.”
The UL-certified Stratus meter features industry-leading sensors for hot-socket detection, a redesigned power supply for increased over-voltage protection and better transient performance than other electricity meters in the marketplace. Additionally, the meter includes patented intelligence to independently, remotely and safely shut off the meter if an issue is detected. The Stratus meter supports multiple applications including outage management, opt-in, opt-out and conservation voltage reduction (CVR).
“This is an important achievement for the Stratus meter, and one that validates the critical role it plays in our customers’ infrastructures,” said Sensus VP of Marketing Greg Myers. “The safety, accuracy and reliability of the meter are unmatched in the industry, especially when used in conjunction with the Sensus FlexNet® communication network. Dickson Electric understands this and has implemented a solution that continues to pay dividends for their customers.”
