Description

Presentation
  • Decoder of customer teleinformation (TIC) signals from electronic meters to extract the current tariff period.
  • Information delivered on 8 NO dry contacts.
  • Pro version: active/reactive energy counting and Top10 available on OptoMos outputs. Dedicated OptoMos contact for "TIC signal fault" alarm.
  • Power supply: 10–30VDC or 85–264VAC depending on version.


Main features
  • 1 opto-isolated TIC input (integrated optocoupler) with high/low impedance configuration for coexistence with third‑party systems.
  • 8 digital outputs (relay/TOR) for tariff periods.
  • Pro and Load-shedding versions: 4 energy impulse outputs (OptoMos).
  • Selectable pulse weight (default 100 Wh or 10 Wh via external jumper). DN version: pulses up to 20 Hz (subscriptions up to 720 kW at 10 Wh/pulse). DH version: 60 Hz (subscriptions up to 2 MW at 10 Wh/pulse).
  • No dedicated software or hardware required; delivered ready to use.


Compatibility and supported tariff ranges
  • Compatible with electronic meters Blue (CBE), Yellow (CJE), Green (ICE), LINKY, PME‑PMI, SAPHIR (if TIC output present, 1200 or 9600 baud).
  • Supports meters with injection (cogeneration, PV, wind).
  • Supported tariffs:
    • Blue (CBE): up to 6 periods (HCJB/HCJW/HCJR/HPJB/HPJW/HPJR).
    • Linky (LNK): 1 to 8 periods.
    • Yellow (CJE): 6 periods (HPE/HCE/HPH/HCH/P/PM).
    • Green (ICE): up to 8 periods (PM/HH/HPE/HCE (A5 EJP) / P/HPH/HCH/HPD/HCD/HPE/HCE/JA (A8 Base)).
    • ICE‑4Q Injection, PME‑PMI, SAPHIR: up to 8 periods depending on configuration.


Specific configuration
  • For ICE‑4Q, PME‑PMI, SAPHIR: option to decode either consumption (soutirage) or injection period (jumper on dedicated terminal).
  • Second jumper: configure the "energy" outputs (Pro and Load‑shedding) according to meter type (e.g., consumption/injection, energy 1/2, Distributor/Supplier).
