Timekeeping battery or super capacitor
If at any time you are unsure if the meter has been upgraded, select Check Meter on the
MeterMate™Upgrade menu. The screen will display the capabilities of the meter. To enable the
TOU function, proceed as follows:
Caution:Battery installation must be done with NO power applied to the meter.
1. Plug the softswitch holder into the parallel port or USB port of the computer.
2. Install and connect the battery. See section 4.6Battery and Super Capacitor Replacement.
3. Apply power to the meter.
4. Connect the SMARTCOUPLER™device to the serial port of the computer and the optical
port on the I-210+c™meter.
5. Using MeterMate™Meter Comm software, go to the menu bar.
6. On the menu bar, selectUpgrade.
7. On the Upgrade menu, selectT2 softswitch.
8. This enables the TOU function in the meter. When the upgrade has completed, MeterMate™
returns to the Upgrade menu.
9. Mark the TOU box on the nameplate.
10. Repeat steps 8 through 10 for the Basic Recording, R2 softswitch.
Note:If you are not ready to install the TOU program, the meter may still be used as a Demand
meter after the TOU switch is enabled. The battery may be put in place in the battery holder, but
it must not be connected until the meter has been programmed for TOU operation.
5.4 Meter Disassembly
Warning:The GE I-210+c™meter contains lethal voltages. The meter must be
completely disconnected from any external circuits before disassembly is attempted. Failure to
observe this practice can result in serious injury or death.
Caution: Do not interchange base and electronics module assemblies between
meters. Calibration data stored in the meter is particular to a set of current sensors and
electronics module. Interchanging these components causes the meter to lose calibration.

The meter is disassembled in steps:
First, remove the meter cover.
Second, remove the electronics module from the base.
5.4.1 Removing the Meter Cover
Remove the meter cover as follows:
1. Remove the seal from the right side of the meter. If there is no seal, proceed to the next step.
2. Turn the cover counterclockwise approximately 30 degrees.
3. Lift the cover straight up.
5.4.2 Removing the Electronics Module
To remove the electronics module, follow the instructions below:
1. Disconnect the CT connector from the socket on the electronics module.
2. Grasp the snaps on either side of the nameplate carrier between the thumb and index finger
and press them together to release them from the notches on the base posts. It may be easier
to unclip one side at a time. Ensure that all four snaps are disengaged and lift the module
assembly off the base.
3. Place the module on a flat, clean, cloth-covered surface with meter face down.
Caution:Do not pull on the wires to disengage the connectors. Pull only on the
connectors.
