wiring an electric card meter

[endecotp]

Do you have instructions for the meter?
Where did you get it?

The reason I want to connect the meter is that I have property which I let and it is connected to the same supply as a building which I use,I want to meter what I use so that I can repay the tenant.

A normal credit meter like this will do for that - card ones are only used where a landlord sells cards to the tenants, who then can only use the electricity they have already paid for.

As for the meter you have got - has it been programmed correctly, do you have a supply of cards suitable for the meter (they are NOT all the same), does the meter even work?

Also bizarre that it has no instructions - those obtained from meter suppliers will include instructions as well as cards, and are generally supplied preprogrammed and ready to use.
If it has been obtained used from some other source, it is probably useless without being reprogrammed.
