Telemetering system, means all devices and equipment used to duplicate and/or interpret a source electricity or gas meter’s register reading(s) at a distance. 6.0 Policy - Conditional Permission 6.1 Subject to clause 6.2 and 6.3, electricity or gas telemetering devices and systems used to transmit electricity and gas measurement information from a source meter to a remote location may be put into service without verification and sealing, subject to the following conditions: (a) The source meter used with telemetering devices and systems shall incorporate an approved register with capability of display, which can be either:
(b) In case of a disagreement between the reading established and recorded in the source meter’s register and the reading obtained through the use of telemetering devices and systems, the source meter’s register reading will be deemed to be correct. 6.2 This permission shall not apply to electricity and gas telemetering devices and systems which are also used as the fundamental means for establishing a legal unit of measurement (e.g. time-related demand for the sale of electricity; converted volume for the sale of gas). However, this permission shall apply in cases where the established legal unit of measurement has not yet been multiplied by an applicable fixed multiplier. For example, this permission does apply to: (a) temperature converted gas volume that will subsequently be multiplied by a fixed pressure multiplier (i.e. pressure factor metering); and (b) converted gas volume that will subsequently be multiplied by one or more applicable metric conversion factors; and (c) electricity energy or demand that will subsequently be multiplied by a fixed overall billing multiplier. 6.3 Pursuant to subsection 9(4) of the Electricity and Gas Inspection Act, telemetering device(s) used with or within a source meter for the purpose of establishing the basis of the charge for electricity or gas consumed, must be approved by Measurement Canada. 7.0 Revisions The purpose of this revision is to provide clarifications and add examples specific to gas measurement. 8.0 Additional Information For additional information regarding this bulletin, please contact the Senior Program Officer responsible for either electricity or gas measurement.
