Question: Will my utility meter work with the Power Cost Monitor?

Answer:
The PowerCost MonitorTM is compatible with over 90% are meters deployed in North America, including both traditional disk meters, and newer digital meters.
There are however specific models and limitations that prevents installation on every meter. The following list highlights the most common digital meters that have a pulse for the sensor to trigger off of and those that do not. For disk meters, if the sensor can “see” the black mark and disk from the front, then alignment is possible, provided there is no plate covering the disk.

If your meter is not listed, or if you have any questions as to why your meter is not supported, please feel free to email support@bluelineinnovations.com and a trained technician will respond to your query.
