Power & Gas Reader 

Revision: 2.2 

 

3. COMMAND_CLASS_WAKE_UP 
 

Use this command class to specify how often the Power Reader should wake up when in 

normal  mode.  The  command  class  is  implemented  according  to  the  command  class 
specification. 
 
4. COMMAND_CLASS_FIRMWARE_UPDATE_MD_V2 
 

The Power Reader is firmware updateable. Performing a firmware update will erase all 

the historical consumption in the Power Reader's memory. The command class is implemented 
according  to  the  command  class  specification.  If  you  want  support  for  firmware  updates  on 
your controlling device contact NorthQ directly for access to latest firmware. 
 
The firmware update request get command must have the following parameters: 

vendor: 

0x96 

product id: 

0x0101 

checksum: 

the checksum is performed on the entire firmware file including headers. Initial crc 

value is 0xFFFF. 
 
5. COMMAND_CLASS_TIME_PARAMETERS 
 

Use this command class to set the Power Reader's real-time clock. The command class is 

implemented according to the command class specification.  

NOTE: 

The Power Reader will not store any timestamped consumption until the real-time clock 

is set. 
 
6. COMMAND_CLASS_METER_V2 
 

Use this command class to get the current total meter consumption. For the electricity 

firmware  the  meter  type  reported  is  0x01  (electricity).  For  gas  firmware  the  meter  type 
reported is 0x02 (gas). 
 

The  scale  for  this  command  class  is  0x00  (kWh  -  for  electricity  meter  and  m

3

  for  gas 

meters). 
 
7. COMMAND_CLASS_CRC_16_ENCAP 
 

This command class is implemented according to the command class specification. Use 

it only if the controlling device is placed in a noisy environment for extra security. 
 
8. COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIG 
 

Through the configuration command class, the controlling node will configure the Power 

Reader.
