The DigiCard RFID is the latest technology in card prepayment meters. The meter is now a sealed unit, requiring customers to simply hold their cards close enough to the meter for the credit to be transferred. RFID technology makes the meter more resistant to tampering than traditional coin and card meters. This 100 Amp meter is MID approved and can be set up with two tariffs, perfect for Economy 7. Building owners can purchase payment cards, which can be sold to the end consumer to top up their meter, allowing payment to be received in advance of receiving the bill. We also supply a programming card allowing the cost per unit to be changed, as well as configuring emergency credit, standing charge and debt collection.

Q: Do i need a separate programming card for each meter or can I get one card and program all Prepayment Card Meters that i have?


A: 

One programming card can be used for all of you prepayment meters of the same type, (assuming they were all supplied by us),

Q: I'm considering installing one of these on a house I'm renting but wondering what frequency the RFID works on, as some are easily duped.


A: 

I'm afraid we don't have information on the RFID frequency, and I suspect the manufacturer would not supply this information, for the very reason you suggested.  The meter records the total number of kWh's consumed, and so if you record this periodically, you should be able to confirm if any fraud had taken place.  You may also consider our Smart Prepayment system MeterPay.  As well as being more convenient for both you and your tenants, it features fraud alarms, so you will be emailed straight away if a tenant were to try an tamper with the meter.  Click here to find out more.

Q: I have 2 Digicard meters fitted in my rental property. I have no cards. The meters have never been used and are currently bypassed. I would like to have them working now. How do I get cards and are there any other actions required?


A: 

We require verification that you are a landlord before we are able to supply you with cards, and most customers choose to send in a copy of their landlords insurance which references their name, contact details and the fact that they are a landlord.

If you are unsure where the meters were originally purchased, we would also require you to send in an unused top-up card. This is because there are several distributors of these meters throughout the UK and each has their own security code, meaning cards purchased from one supplier, will not work in meters supplied by another. By sending in a card, we can verify that our cards will work with your meters and if they do not, we can send the card to the UK distributor who can advise which supplier you need to contact.

Q: I just wanted to know how this works, I seperated my house, hence renting it out to 2 different people . And was wondering whether this will work for both parties to pay and top up their cards.


A: 

All of our prepayment meters allow you to on-sell electricity in scenarios as you described above.  You would continue to pay the bill on the primary meter coming in to the property, and the secondary prepayment meters would allow you to gather funds from your tenants for their proportion of usage.  You control the rates set on the meter, allowing you to ensure you recoup enough funds to pay the primary bill, and most will allow additional features such as emergency credit and debt recovery,

Q: We have a DigiCard pre payment card meter, but our problem is that the credit amounts we put on with cards do not reflect the electric meter KwH tarriff. Would there be a way of reprogramming the Digi Card meter to reflect actual electric used.?


A: 

There is a programming card available, (click here to view), which allows you to change the amount charged per kWh, as well as set a daily standing charge, amount of emergency credit etc.  Please note, our programming card will only work with your meter if it was purchased directly from us,
