Doug, Our un-metered supply manager advised us to use the charge code 7949 for dimmed led signs and we use 50w for the sign power consumption. Charge code 7949050 (Page 21 of the Elexon document as revised in Feb 2007). They do not have their own code yet and this was deemed to be the closest match. For the MVD we use charge code 7907004 assuming the MVD uses 4w Hope this helps Regards Peter Hodge=20 Traffic Signals & Integrated Systems Manager=20 Lighting, Signals & Vehicles Group Tel: 01273 481834=20 Fax: 01273 481389=20 -----Original Message----- From: tcug-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tcug-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Douglas Cook Sent: 19 July 2007 12:51 To: tcug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TCUG] VAS on un metered supply? Does anybody else have VAS signs on their un-metered supply? If so, how have you coded up their energy consumption in accordance with the Elexon guidelines? The start of the code (7925???) is no problem, it is the rating in watts that I am finding hard to pin down. Manufacturers can give consumption figures for the sign fully permanently activated but of course in reality it never actually is. Is there an accepted percentage of "on" time? Of course you also have to bare in mind the MVD will be constantly powered?? Any help would be most appreciated.
