Is my meter an RTS meter ?

Ildhund

Is there any way to be able to state categorically that a metering system is not RTS-controlled on the basis of a photo of a meter? There are clues to look for:
  

• If the meter isn't labelled Radio Telemeter or similar, there has to be a separate radio-controlled switchbox*.
• There will often be more than one meter, e.g. if the system involves a 24-hour heating supply at a reduced rate.
• There will usually be a signal cable from the radio-control part back to the meter to enable it to record peak and offpeak usage.

I think it's difficult to be certain, unless the victim can say absolutely that there is no other box, possibly elsewhere in the building, that could be a meter or teleswitch.

*  I have seen photos of an installation where the 'separate radio-controlled switchbox' was in fact a full-blown radio telemeter, just with a sticky label over the display to fool the unwary.
