METHOD OF AND SYSTEM FOR ACCUMULATING VERIFIABLE ENERGY DEMAND DATA FROM REMOTE ELECTRICITY METERS ABSTRACT A solid state electricity demand recorder (10) is controlled by a programmable microprocessor (38) to obtain energy demand survey and billing data. The accumulated count of pulses during a record interval is compared with an encoded register reading obtained from an electricity meter(30) at the end of the record. If there is acceptable correlation between the accumulated count and encoded meter reading, the interval pulse counts associated with that record are deemed verified. Power for the recorder(10) is obtained from the power line, except during power outages in which case a battery (28) provides back up power. The time of day and date of detection of a low battery condition is communicated to a control computer to assess data reliability. Other error conditions such as power outages and meter failure are also communicated to the central computer. The recorder is receptive to communications from the central computer at times other than the normal preprogrammed data downloading time by detecting a particular number of rings. The recorder is programmably configurable for operation over a wide range of customer demand by scaling the KYZ pulse input frequency.
