Home / Products / Keypad Prepaid Meter / FUTURISE QPM16 STS Single Phase Prepaid Keypad Energy Meter DLMS/COSEM protocal

Introduction


The QPM16 is a proven single-phase STS prepaid keypad meter, recognized by power authorities of multiple countries including CEET, SONABEL, EDG and KPLC. Designed with a modular architecture, it supports flexible communication options and can be tailored to meet diverse project requirements. Backed by internationally recognized certifications, including STS, CE, NEMSA, and ISO 9001. The QPM16 delivers reliable performance, secure revenue protection, and long-term operational confidence for prepaid metering projects.

Certified Electrical Precision: Delivers Class 1.0 active measurement accuracy under a broad rated voltage adaptability range (110V to 240V), with continuous operational reliability within temperature spectrums from −25°C to +65°C.
Advanced Anti-Tamper Perimeter: Housed in a rugged, dustproof, and waterproof IP54-rated enclosure (128×77×217mm, 0.75kg), the meter incorporates dual-sensor detection loops that instantly flag and log base cover or terminal cover open events, maintaining data integrity through an externally replaceable backup battery (Read Without Main Power supported).
Robust Load & Grid Protection: Equipped with an integrated heavy-duty latching relay capable of handling maximum current surges up to 100A, automatically executing low-voltage isolation, overcurrent disconnections, and real-time active/reactive energy sampling for complete grid health transparency.
