• Press the “Enter” (which is the blue button).
• Feedback will appear on the meter showing “Accepted”.
• Now, press 01 on the keypad and press “Enter”.
• The meter will show the actual current available credit,( if you followed the procedure properly).

Key Change Token

There are cases where the meter might be on a different Tariff from what it was programmed on. This could be as a result of an incorrect Tariff detail supplied by the installer during programming. In such a situation the Credit Unit Token that you bought would be able to be load on the meter.

So, Key Change Token is gotten from EKEDC HQ, Marina, which will change the meter Tariff, by allowing credit top-up on the meter.

The Key Change Token is made up of Meter Number, Date and Time Generated, Details of Changing Tariff(from and to), (Supply Group, Tariff Index and Tariff Code), and the Token Number which consists of 40 digits.
