Flow Of The Billing Function Trial Run - Mitsubishi Electric AE-200A Instruction Book

7-1. Flow of the billing function trial run

The trial run check for the apportioned electricity billing function should be carried out 3 times.
Conduct billing function trial run checks well ahead of handover.
During the billing function trial run period, check that output is as set on the Charge Calculation Tool.
Checking the billing function settings (check before billing function trial run)
• Adjust the measurement values imported into the centralized controller. (Refer to section 7-1 [1] "Adjusting
AE-200 measurement values".)
• Check that the billing function settings have been completed on the Initial Setting Tool.
• From [Option] > [Output - Check sheet for billing function trial run] on the Initial Setting Tool, output the "Items
to be checked during the trial run" check sheet. The Excel sheets that will be output are the "Billing-related
item sheet" and the "Unit-related item sheet (for number of expansion controllers)".
If there are multiple AE-200 systems, output a check sheet for each system.
• Check the information listed in the billing-related item sheet that was output. (Refer to section 7-2-1 "Billing-
related item sheet".)
• Check the information listed in the unit-related item sheet that was output. (Refer to section 7-2-2 "Unit-related
item sheet".)
• Enter the electricity meter information (model, linear weight, etc.) on the check sheet. (Refer to section 7-2-1
[4] "Checking the electricity meter".)
• Enter the AE-200 measurement value and the electric power on the electricity meter before the trial run on
the check sheet.
• Run all the indoor units for at least 2 hours (heating or cooling).
If the air conditioning unit does not readily respond to an ON signal from the thermostat in mild weather
season, a trial run of the air conditioning unit is recommended.
1st run: Checking after air conditioning unit continuous operation
• Enter the AE-200 measurement value and the electric power on the electricity meter after the trial run on the
check sheet. *2
• Check the difference in electric energy between *1 (before trial run) and *2 (after the trial run). (Refer to
section 7-3-1 [1] (2) "Checking the difference".)
• Using a USB memory, acquire the CSV data (metering device) from the AE-200 and enter the values on the
billing-related item sheet. (Refer to section 7-3-1 [1] (3) "Checking the data by unit price".)
• Total up the apportioned electric energy (by unit price) for each metering device on the unit-related item
sheet and compare the totals with the measurement results (by unit price) on the billing-related item sheet.
(Refer to section 7-3-1 [1] (4) "Checking the data for the different types of data".)
*5
• Using a USB memory, acquire the CSV data (energy management block) from the AE-200 and enter the
CSV data (energy management block) values on the unit-related item sheet. (Refer to section 7-3-1 [2] "Unit-
related item sheet".)
• Compare total apportioned electric energy on the unit-related item sheet (total for all the apportioned electric
energy) and the total electric energy on the billing-related item sheet (total for indoor and outdoor units). (Refer
to section 7-3-1 [2] "Unit-related item sheet".)
2nd run: Checking at least 10 days after the 1st run
• From [Option] > [Output - Check sheet for billing function trial run] on the Initial Setting Tool, output the "Items
to be checked 10 days after the trial run" check sheet.
• Enter the AE-200 measurement value and the electric power on the electricity meter after the trial run on the
check sheet. *3
• Check the difference in electric energy between *2 (before trial run) and *3 (after the trial run). (Refer to
section 7-3-1 [1] (2) "Checking the difference".)
• Carry out the checks in *5. (The period is from the 1st trial run to the day before the 2nd trial run.)
